00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			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.
