Nu'man b. Bashir reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Verily supplication is worship." Then he recited the
Qur'anic verse, "And your Lord says, 'Call on Me. I will answer your prayer, but those who are too arrogant to serve me will
surely find themselves humiliated in Hell!'' Qur'an 40.60. This is reported by Ahmad and Sunan.

I heard the Prophet saying, "May I tell you of the people of Paradise? Every weak and poor obscure person whom the people
look down upon but his oath is fulfilled by Allah when he takes an oath to do something. And may I inform you of the people

Prohibition of Using Amulets
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, prohibited the use of amulets. 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir narrates that the Messenger of
Allah, peace be upon him, said: "If anyone wears an amulet, may Allah not help him in fulfilling his wish. If anyone wears a
sea-shell around his neck, may Allah give him no peace." (Narrated by Ahmad and Al-Hakim who consider it a sound hadith)
An amulet (tamimah) is a string of shells or beads that the Arabs used to put around their children ' s necks, believing that it
would protect them from the evil eye. Islam abolished this superstitious practice. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon
him, prayed against those who wore an amulet out of superstitious belief.
It is reported from Ibn Mas'ud that "once, when he entered his home, he noticed his wife wearing a knotted object round her
neck. He took it away and broke it. Then he remarked: 'The family of 'Abdullah has become so arrogant that they now
associate with Allah those for whom He has sent down no authority.' Then, he added: 'I have heard the Messenger of Allah,
peace be upon him, saying: 'Verily, incantations, amulets, and love charms are acts of shirk (associating false gods with
Allah)
ASSEMBLIES:
2:125 - Remember We made the house a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and
take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and
Isma`il that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round or use it as a
retreat or bow or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer). 125126
125 The Ka'ba, the House of God. Its foundation goes back by Arab tradition to Abraham. Its fourfold character is here
referred to. (1) It was the centre to which all the Arab tribes resorted for trade, for poetic contests, and for worship, (2)
It was sacred territory and was respected by friend and foe alike. At certain seasons, all fighting was and is forbidden
within it limits, and even arms are not allowed to be carried and no game or other thing is allowed to be killed. Like
the Cities of Refuge under the Mosaic Dispensation to which manslayers could flee (Num. xxxv. 6) or the Sanctuaries
in Mediaeval Europe, to which criminals could not be pursued. Mecca was recognized by Arab custom as inviolable
for the pursuit of revenge or violence. (3) It was a place of prayer; even today there is a Station of Abraham within the
enclosure where Abraham was supposed to have prayed. (4) It must be held pure and sacred for all purposes.
(2.125)
126 Four rites are here enumerated, which have now acquired a technical meaning. (1) Compassing the sacred territory,
or going round the Ka'ba: Tawaf. There are special guides who take pilgrims and visitors round. (2) Retiring to the
place as a spiritual retreat, for contemplation and prayer: Itikat. (3) The posture of bending the back in prayer: Ruku.
(4) The posture of prostrating oneself on the ground in prayer: Sujud. The protection of the holy territory is for all, but
special cleanliness and purity is required for the sake of the devotees who undertake these rites. (2.125)
6:130 - O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you apostles from amongst you
setting forth unto you of the meeting of this day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness
against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will
they bear witness that they rejected faith. 953
37:8 - (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast
away from every side. 4038
