What is taweez?

Taweez, also known as an amulet or talisman, is a form of spiritual protection commonly used in Islamic culture. It is believed that taweez contain verses from the Quran or prayers that are intended to protect the wearer from harm, bring good luck, or ward off evil spirits.

Taweez can be worn as jewelry, carried in a pocket, placed in a home or vehicle, or even ingested in some cases. They are often given as gifts and are considered to have powerful spiritual properties by those who believe in their efficacy.

However, it is important to note that there are varying opinions among Islamic scholars about the use of taweez. Some believe that they are permissible as long as they contain verses from the Quran or other Islamic prayers, while others consider them to be a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and therefore forbidden.

Ultimately, the use of taweez is a personal choice and should be made with care and consideration for one's own beliefs and values.
