Sihr Al-Mahabba/At-Tiwala (Love)

The Prophet said: "Ar-ruqā, at-tamā'im and at-tiwala are acts polytheism."1


According to lbn Al-Athir, at-tiwala is a type of sihr which makes a man love his wife. The reason why this type of sihr is classed by the Prophet as an act of polytheism is because those who have it done for them believe that it has an effect and does the opposite of what Allah has prescribed. 2 

I would like to emphasise that the ruqya referred to in the above hadith is the one which seeks the assistance of Jinn and devils and consists of acts classed as polytheistic. However, the ruqya which is based on the Qur'an and lawful supplications of Allah is lawful, according to scholars. It is reported in Şahih Muslim that the Prophet was quoted as saying: "There is no harm in using ruqya as a means of treatment provided it does not consist of anything polytheistic."

Symptoms of Sihr of Love 

1 Excessive love and passion. 

2.Extreme desire to have sexual intercourse 

3 Impatience of remaining without having sexual intercourse. 

4 Extreme lust at the sight of one's wife.

5.Blind obedience to one's wife 

How the Sihr of Love Takes Place?

Marital squabbles often happen and are resolved within a short time, and life goes back to normal between a man and his wife. However, a woman who cannot show patience, would immediately go to a sāhir and ask him to work out a sihr which would let her be very much loved by her husband. This may be due to a defect in her faith, or to her ignorance of the fact that this is unlawful. 

The sāhir would ask her to provide a trace of her husband's scent (a handkerchief, cap, piece of cloth or flannel) provided that these items contain the smell of her husband's sweat so they should not be new or clean. The sāhir would take some threads from these items, blow on them, tie a knot around them, and ask the woman to bury them in a deserted place. The sahir would also prepare a spell in water or food -the worst sihr is done in filth or menses discharge- and ask the woman to put it in her husband's food, drink or perfume.

Adverse Effects of Sihr of Love 

 Sometimes a man falls ill as a result of this sihr. I even heard that a man was ill for about three years. 2. Sometimes the sihr backfires, and the man would hate his wife. This is due to a lack of knowledge of the principles of sihr. 3.Sometimes a woman asks the sāhir to prepare a double-effect sihr which makes her husband love her alone and hate all other women. This results in the man's hating his mother, sisters, maternal aunts, paternal aunts and all female kinship. 4.Sometimes the double-effect sihr backfires, and the man ends up by hating all women, even his wife. I knew a similar case in which a man hated his wife and eventually divorced her. The woman went back to the sorcerer to cancel the sihr, only to find that the sāhir had died.

Causes of Sihr of Love

1. Marital squabbles 

2. The woman runs after her husband's wealth, especially if he is rich. 

3. The woman suspects that her husband is going to marry another woman -although this is lawful under Islamic Law- and there is no harm in it However, a woman of the present time, especially one influenced by the destructive media, would believe that if her husband wants to marry another woman it means that he does not love her anymore. 

This is a gross mistake because there are several factors which cause a man to marry up to four women, despite his love of the first wife. There is, for instance, his desire to have many children, his inability to stay without sexual intercourse during his wife's menstruation, during her post-natal bleeding (damu an-nifas), or his intention to establish a relationship with a certain family. 

Lawful Sihr 

This is my advice to a Muslim woman that if she wants to enchant her husband, she can do so by:

Making herself look very beautiful and attractive to her husband, without letting him come across any ugly feature or unpleasant smell in you. 

- Giving him a nice smile. 

- Talking to him nicely.

- Keeping good company with him 

- Safeguarding his wealth 

- Taking good care of your children 

- Obeying him in all matters, except a matter in which he obliges you to disobey Allah. a However, there is a stark contradiction in our society today, concerning these matters. For example, if a woman is invited to party at her friend's, she would wear her best dress and her best jewelry as if she were on her wedding night. 

When she comes back home, she takes off her jewelry and puts it back for the next party or the next visit, whilst her poor husband, who has bought that jewelry and that dress is deprived of enjoying her wearing them. He always sees her in old garments, with the smell of cooking, onions and garlic If she were a bit considerate, she would realise that her husband is the one who deserves to see her in such a beautiful appearance. Therefore, when your husband goes to work, try to finish the housework, then wash yourself, make yourself look beautiful and attractive, and wait for him. 

When he comes back home, and sees a beautiful woman before him, finds dinner ready and a tidy home, his love for you will increase and he will feel very much more attached to you. Hence, this is the lawful form of sihr, especially if your intention in making yourself look beautiful is to obey Allah and help your husband abstain from looking at other women. A person who is full up (has eaten food) does not have a desire for food, but a person who is deprived of food has a craving for it.

Treatment of Sihr of Love 

1. Recite the ruqya mentioned in the second stage (treatment), omitting verse (2:102), and replacing it with (64:14-16):

Yã Ayyuhāl-ladīna āmanū 'inna min azwäjikum wa awladikum 'duwwan lakum fahdarühum wa in ta fü wa taşfahü wa taghfirū fa'innal-läaha ghafun rahīm. Innamä amwälukum wa awlādukum fitnatun wal-lähu 'indahu ajrun 'azīm, fat-taqūl-lāha mastaț a tum wasma ū wa atīū wa anfiqū khayran li'anfusikum wa man yüqa shuhha nafsihi fa'ülā ika humul-muflihün.

You who believe, some of your spouses and children may bе your own enemies, so beware of them! Yet if you pardon, condone and forgive, Allah will be Forgiving, Merciful. Your wealth and your children are simply a testing. Yet, Allah holds a splendid fee. Heed Allah however you can manage to; hear, obey, and spend money on one another. Those who feel secure from their own soul's grasping, will be successful. 

2. In most cases, the patient does not become epileptic, but his/her limbs become numb, his/her chest tightens, he/she has a headache or a bad stomachache, especially if he/she happens to have drunk the object of sihr (a fluid, for instance, mixeed with water or a drink, in general). The patient may also vomit. If he/she feels pain in his/her stomach and wishes to vomit, recite some the following verses of the Qur'an on some water and tell him/her to drink it in front of you: 

A'üdu billahi mina shayţāni rajīm, wa 'awh aynā 'ilā mūsā 'an alqi 'aşaka fa’idā hiyya talqafu mā ya'fikūn. Fawaqa al- haqqu wabațala mā kānū yalamūn. Fa ghulibū hunālika wan-qalabū şāghirīn. Wa 'ulqiyyas-saharatu sājidīn. Qālū 'ämannā birabbil ālamí n, rabbi mūsā wa hārūna. (7:117-122)

A'ūdu billahi mina shayțāni rajīm, Falamā alqaw, qāla mūsā mā jitum bihis-sihru, 'innal-lāha sayubțiluhu. innal-lāha lã yuşlihu 'amalal-mufsidin. Wa yu hiqqul-lāhul-haqqa bikalimātihi wa law karihal-mujrimūn) (10:81-82)

A'üdu billahi mina shaytāni rajīm, Wa alki mafi yaminak talkaf ma şana'ū innamā şana'ū kaydu sāhirin wa la yuflihus-sāhiru haythu a'tā (20:69) 

'A'üdu billahi mina shaytāni rajīm, Allahu lā ʼilāha ’illā huwwa al-hayyu-lqayyum lã ta khuduhu sinatun wa lā nawm lahu mã fis-samāwati wa mã fil-'ardhi, man dal-ladi yashfa'u indahu 'illā biidnihi ya lamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mã khalfahum wa lā yuhitūna bishay'in min ilmihi illā bimā shāa wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samāwati wal-ardh, wa lā yaūduhu hifzuhumā wa huwwal-aliyyul- azīm.) (2:255) 

If she vomits yellow, red or black substance, then the sihr has been invalidated, and all praise is due to Allah. Otherwise, advice him/her to drink from the water for three weeks or more, until the sihr has been neutralised. 

The patient's wife must not learn about her husband's treatment, because she may go to the sāhir again and request another spell.

An Example of the Treatment of the Sihr of Love: A Man Guided by his Wife

A patient informed me that he was leading a normal marital life, until few months ago when he began to feel strange.

He said, "I cannot stop thinking about my wife when I am at work, and when I come back home from work, I start looking at her. If i have guests, I would leave them alone, from time to time, in order to see her I feel extremely jealous for her. I keep a lot of company with her, and it seems as if she were guiding me. 

When she goes to the kitchen I follow her, when she goes to the bedroom I follow her, and when she tidies the house, I follow her. I do not know what happened to me. If she requests something from me, I would fulfill it straightaway." 

to I recited some verses of the Qur'ãn on some water and ordered drink and wash from it, for three weeks, and to visit immediately after this period, without his wife's knowledge. 

After three weeks, he came and informed me that things had gone back to normal, but not completely. So, I repeated the treatment, and eventually recovered. he 116 him me
