Taweez Help (Can anyone tell what this is?)

Somebody gave us this taweez saying they were to help with studies.

Can anyone please tell us what they are for? If they are good or not? We are muslims so we do not want to get into anything that has to do with sihr or black magic.

Can’t really post images here, so can anyone tell us how to do that? We have them scanned.

Thank you.

It’s fine.

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَارًا {82}
And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust. (17:82)

It’s often mentioned as shirk as people will think the power and protection is coming from the taweez itself, which it isn’t, but from Allah (swt) instead.

Peace Brother!

We can read this dua to save ourself from any kind of magic, sehar etc.

Reference: Ahmad 3/419, with an authentic chain of narration, and Ibn As-Sunni (no. 637). Al-Arna’ut, graded its chain authentic in his checking of Al-'Aqidah At-Tahawiyyah p. 133. See also Majma’uz-Zawa’id, 10/127.

I was reading a book ‘Tajdeed or Imaan (renewal of Faith)’ by Hafiz Salah Al-Deen Yousuf where somebody asked a question:

Question: Is it allowed to make/use/write taweez by writing Quranic verses?
**Answer: **The correct method to use Dua of Qur’an and Sunnah is as our Prophet Muhammad :saw2: teached u. Writing Quranic verses or Dua’s on a pages and noding it different cloths was never proved by Sunnah. Perhaps doing this is acting as “Iltamaim” or “Altamaim”. “Iltamaim” or “Altamaim” is writing Quranic verses on sea-shells and hanging them (this done by Musrakeen ‘pagans’) and Prophet Muhammad :saw2: said this act as ‘Shirk’.

He also wrote maybe the taweez maker will show you what he/she is writing in taweez perhaps nobody tells nor suggest to open and see what is in it.

rest Allah SWT! know best.
