My name is, and I'm a student from

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

Ghana. My question is that at a place,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

certain people, they write Quranic verses on sheets

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

of paper

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

and then dip it into water and then

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

drink the water. And they write it based

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

on certain supplications. For example, if they want

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

abundance and knowledge, they select some words of

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

the glorious Quran, write it and dip it

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

into water and then drink the water. Is

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

it permissible to drink this water? As far

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

as writing words of the glorious Quran is

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

concerned, dipping it into water and then drinking

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

the water or for example, reciting words of

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

the glorious Quran, blowing it on the water

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

and then drinking the water. If it is

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

for the purpose of rukiah,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

that is against the evil eye or if

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

a person is doing it in order to

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

remove the jinn. If he's doing it as

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

per the sharia method, there is no problem

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

in this. And we know

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

that

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

regarding rukkiah.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

And there are various people who perform rukiah.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

And the best way is that a person

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

performs rukiah on himself that he recites the

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

glorious Quran on himself or he recites the

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

Quran and blows it on the water and

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

then he drinks the water, this is the

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

best. But even if someone else does it,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

for example, a person who's an expert in

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

then there is no problem in it. Whether

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

it'd be writing certain words of the glorious

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

Quran dipping into the water and then drinking

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

the water or whether it'd be reciting verses

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

of the glorious Quran

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

on water and then drinking the water. But

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

as far as reciting certain selected verse of

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

the glorious Quran, in order

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

to increase your knowledge,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

I'm not aware of any hadith

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

of the beloved prophet Muhammad, peace be upon

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

him, which mentions certain verses of the glorious

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

Quran that we write that which talk about

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

it being written on a piece of paper

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

and then dipping it into water and then

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

drinking this water. I do not know of

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

any hadith which mentions this

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

particular act. So as far as

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

increasing our knowledge is concerned,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

if you want to increase our knowledge, how

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

should it be

00:01:50 --> 00:01:50

done?

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

The way that it should be done is

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

that we should recite the dua that have

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

been prescribed by beloved prophet Muhammad, peace be

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

upon him. For example,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

oh my lord, increase me in knowledge. So

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

we should call upon Allah

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

Ask Allah

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

to increase us in knowledge.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

This is the best way if you want

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

to increase our knowledge.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

And you should always pray to Allah Subhanahu

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

Wa Ta'ala that

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

may give us beneficial knowledge, knowledge that will

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

benefit us in the deen. And we know

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

that the glorious Quran, there is healing in

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

it as Allah subhanahu

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

wa

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

ta'ala

00:02:27 --> 00:02:27

says.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

And we have revealed from the glorious Quran

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

in which there is healing.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

So the glorious Quran can be used for

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

a person to heal himself if he has

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

any sickness.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

And even to ward off the evil eye,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

there is no problem in this. So I

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

hope that answers your question.
