Salafis accuse Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) of teaching magic in his book, A‟maal-e-Qur‟aan, e.g.

Answer

The a'maal mentioned in the kitaab have absolutely no relationship with magic. Stupid people who do not know what sihr is, i.e. such stupid salafis who have an abhorrence for the Muqallideen make false accusations against the Ulama of Deoband just as the Barelwi Grave Worshippers do.

If a person separates a woman from her husband with a stick or a gun or with poison or with false information to create discord and dissension, then only a moron salafi will say that the man has perpetrated magic.

If someone commits adultery with a woman thereby separating her from her husband or he convinces her to abscond and run away from her husband, then only a jaahil salafi will say that the man has perpetrated magic.

The words and aayaat of the Qur‟aan Majeed have certain powers and effects which could be utilized for a variety of effects and consequences. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that Surah Faatihah is a cure for every disease. The Muawwazatain were revealed to cure magic. But the jaahil salafis say that it is magic because Hadhrat Thanvi has recorded it in his kitaab.

Provided the amal is correctly used, it will be permissible, and the salafis may stand on the roof to shout and bark like mongrels that it is „magic‟. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu), as well as other Sahaabah and the Auliya in all ages practiced certain A‟maal for different purposes. Salafis are plain stupid and full of enmity. They are too stupid to understand the haqeeqat of sihr.
