Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari – Taking Means, Reliance on Allah, Ruqya & Amulets

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari offers a thorough and balanced exploration of tawakkul (reliance upon Allah), emphasizing that true reliance on Allah requires both taking practical means in this world and directing one's trust entirely to Allah as the ultimate cause of all outcomes. He addresses the power of dua, the conditions for its acceptance, and the permissibility and limits of ruqya and amulets (ta'weez), warning strongly against fraudsters who exploit vulnerable Muslims under the guise of spiritual healing. The lecture is grounded in Quranic verses, authentic hadith, and examples from the lives of the Companions, offering practical guidance on how to balance effort and faith in everyday life.
