Just my two cents worth. once my guide instructed me that I should invoke the negative names (or neutral names applied in a way to negate) upon myself and a thief who had stolen my only transport (a bicycle). as I understood this it was a 'curse', or magical spell of resolution. upon us both I invoked the Most Compassionate to have us feel the loss of those which have a thing stolen, the complete absence of ownership which we have when in the presence of She Who Owns All, and the wrath of the Bringer of Justice for those who have broken the Law. I used the bicycle hook which once held the vehicle and a paper with these names written upon them, along with some tarot cards that I had also integrated into the spell. it was most effective. I never saw the bike again, but I did feel resolved about the theft. peace be with you, haramullah nagasiva@luckymojo.com Subject: Re: Invoking Allah's Names For Spells (was Allah's (SWT)...)

NfrTt@aol.com asks Brother Hafizullah: >...Do you think an oppressed person would not be heard if he invokes >Allah's Names on his own, or it would harm him/her or others instead >of bringing justice and balance into the Universe?! Isn't Allah the >Most Wise, does not He own all intelligence?

I wish to clarify something about that incident. during it I submitted myself to every experience that I invoked upon both the thief and myself. I sought to learn as much as to ground out my anger and desire for revenge. later we had another bike stolen (a community bike) and though I was the one who had cared for it most, my anger, my sense of violation, was nowhere near the same. the spell had had a transformative effect upon me. neither bike was returned, and I felt that I had achieved a beneficial result on the whole. I did not attempt to "instruct" the thief as to what he should do. I did not consider myself "worthy" of revenge or even of retaining the vehicle. I do not "own" anything, really, as I saw it (Allah owns all things, if there is any owner). my intent was to find some kind of rectification. it was completely possible that my actions had no effect (or inspired no response from Allah) upon the thief. it was not my place to expect such a thing. therefore while I may have had some feelings of wanting 'justice' and 'revenge', I left these in the hands of the Most Compassionate during the course of the spell. I acknowledged all of the feelings which I was experiencing, the ambiguous relationship that I have with all objects, and the ultimate ridiculousness of the situation. >However, I recall a beautiful Hadith Qudsy, in which Allah warns us not to >rush to invoke against those who did injustice to us, because surly we too, >did injustice to someone else in our life journey...so "forgiveness" is a >much better choice. But sometimes, I wonder perplexed about the true meaning >of forgiveness?! What does it mean? To forget all the past?! when are we to >be considered unforgiving and when to be considered forgiving? Does >forgiveness bring balance and justice to the Universe, to people and how?! one of the Names I invoked was the Forgiver. my intent wasn't so much to "invoke against" as to resolve what seemed to me a breach in the moral fabric of my community (it was quite possible that a member of my household had staged the theft to sell to support his substance use). the possibility of "releasing a djinn" was never a problem to me, since I have dealt with the djinni for years and feel comfortable doing so, sometimes despite the protests of my Muslim kin who warned against it. peace be with you, haramullah
