The use of amulets was justified by a saying of Mohammed: "There is no wrong in using charms and spells so long as you do not associate anything with God!"
Those who prepare Tilsum (or hamail) are, in most cases, acquainted with astrology, astronomy and geomancy, with the aid of which they fix up the auspicious hour. In geomancy, dots and lines have their own significance. The time for writing an amulet is fixed. Mysterious signs and words are used as spells, while numbers and human and animal figures play an important role. Magic words, formulae, the different names of God, and of angels, sentences from the Quran, etc., engraved on square-sized metal (silver) plate, or on paper or on silk, and written over in saffron coloured or black ink, and sprinkled in certain cases with perfume or rose-water , form the staple of amulets and charms in use. These are worn on the body after some formality, so that the possessor may be sure of its effect. The day and hour for putting on a Tilsum is fixed by the writer, and women wear it in their necklaces, or as part of a head ornament. Some Tilsum are made with a definite object in view, for example, for a disease or to attract one's beloved or as a safeguard against evil genii. Some are used for securing general good also.
Many amulets are used primarily for protection against the evil eye (al- 'ain, al-nazra, al-hasad), the jinn, and the 'afarit. The widespread belief in the existence of the mysterious power of evil is justified by passages in the Qur'an and the prophetic traditions (hadith).
These magical formulae and signs include the “highest name of Allah“ or „ismillahil-asma“, as well as combinations of the seven letters of the Arabic alphabet that do not appear in the first chapter of the Qur'an. These seven letters refer to the seven kings of the jinn as well as to a cosmological system that does not need to be examined here because it is largely unknown to the general population and is in fact reserved for a small number od specialists.
Magic tool:
1. The ink used for writing amulets is saffron water, rose water, orange water, the juice of onions, water from the sacred well of Zem Zem, and sometimes even human blood.
2. Frankincense and coriander played an important role during magic rituals. Coriander is called teffah l-jinn, «the apples of the jinn.»

Bosnian prophecy
During the last decade of the 20th century many astrologers were announcing the coming of the age of Aquarius which should bring peace and advancement to humanity and it should forever close the doors on the dark age of the Pisces which was full of wars and misfortunes. Entering the 21st century and the long awaited era of Aquarius nothing has changed, on the contrary the whole world entered an even bleaker and negative era. What do the old Bosnian prophecies say about all of this?
Announcement of war and crimes
All of the prophecies coming from the Bosnian people are of an oral character, they were recited traditionally as a warning from the elders to the younger generations. It is interesting that they are full of negative predictions which talk about accidents, wars, misfortunes. They never determine the time of any of the events, however it can be easily discovered by analysis. The most interesting predictions are those that deal with the Bosnian people. An old Imam from Velika Kladuša foretold during the 70's "the rule of a Woman Jinn which is more wicked than the Male Jinn"- "When the female Jinn starts ruling, said the old Imam, our people will disperse around the world, and we will long to see each other!"
Aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) from Serbia and Montenegro which culminated with the genocide on the Bosniaks in Srebrenica forced millions of people to abandon their homes and try their luck in other countries. Another harbinger of the war is the sentence "When the world becomes red, horrible times will await Bosnia!" In this sentence the symbolic term "red" means when the roofs of the houses become red (red bricks). The economic boom in Bosnia which took place during the second half of the past decade enabled the building of better houses and it also changed and upgraded the way houses were built.
"Neighbours will start hating each others, brothers will hate each others, there will be no shame, children will be giving birth to children", foretold the great prophecies announcing the coming of a great hatred whose consequences could have been seen in the media that reported of the great atrocities that the Serbian army undertook throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The second part of the prophecy dealt with the moral debasement of the human race, the rise of juvenile delinquency, crime, no moral role models.
Judgement day or nuclear war?
Today the folk wisdom claims that the world is "cleansed" every 40 years, i.e. there is a big war or a disaster that sweeps away millions of human lives. And this will continue until judgment day. According to the predictions of the people, "40 years before the judgement day three heavenly gifts will disappear from the Earth- bees, sheep and wheat!" The description of the last day on Earth, or the world as we know it are summed up in the following dramatic sentences: "A multitude of hot stones will fall on the Earth and it will melt and scorch its surface." We can forebode that here we are dealing with a nuclear disaster or another disaster that will afflict the Earth because the Bosnian prophecy continues with the following words: "Not all people will perish, from this disaster new people will emerge, shorter and instead of two eyes they will only have one. Because the sun will beat down mercilessly these people will run underground where they will have some peace and quite." By interpreting these omens we can reach a conclusion that people could suffer some sort of radiation because of some sort of disaster and that their bodies could mutate or evolve into a different and deformed form. The prophecy also foretells our future that will take place in underground cities whose blueprints and plans are already among us.

Bosnian prophecy 2
The collapse of capitalism, recession, headless wars in the Middle East, rise of China, Europe weakening, are only some of the signs of the coming of a new age in which the domination of western states ends and new world leaders emerge.
China- rulers of the world
According to the prophecies of the 20th century in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosnian people claimed that the "yellow ants" (Chinese) will rule in the 21st century. According to that prophecy in the 20th century the white race (white ants) was supposed to rule, which was reflected in the rule of USSR and USA. As we know USSR vanished begining 90's of the previous century. Judging by the claims of the elderly Bosniaks the time of American domination is at its end, and it is clearly shown in the last turbulent decade in which the USA led by two disastrous presidents, Bush and Obama, made a lot of bad judgments and actions, whose repercussions are being felt now.
Iran- military power
The USA, in the last 10 years, created an ideal environment that promoted Iran into a single military and nuclear power in the Middle East. Attacking Iraq, the USA weakened Iran's greatest adversary. Today Iraq is a country doomed to internal division and military and economic powerlessness. Attacking Afghanistan, a traditional ally of Iran, made things even worse and convinced the Afghan people that Taliban's are the best solution that they have at their disposal. The Taliban are objectively the only victors in this war. Current attempts of the USA and Europe to create a similar scenario in Syria weren't fruitful. With such an attempt the USA made another bad move and created an adversary from a former ally that will certainly seek to ally itself with Iran. All in all they created an ideal environment for the creation of a powerful Shia union that will return Iran on the throne of military power. A similar thing is happening with Egypt. With that, we come to the Islamic prophecy of Israel's final destruction whose end was announced. "Israel will exist for 70 years and then it will be destroyed by Allah's will", claims the old prophecy. With that the Middle East would be finally free of the culprit that created all the unrest in that part of the world.
USA politic:Pay and kill
As is known the USA is a country that functions on the principle of its own self interest. The country that has enough money to pay for their protection and propaganda like Israel and Saudi Arabia will be spared of their 'democratic' judgment. Even though Israel has been committing horrible crimes against Palestine for over 40 years, destroying their houses and enlarging its territory, the "Democratic USA" has been blind to this fact because of all the money that the Jews are making for them. Every word that the American president utters in Israel's defence is well paid and probably costs several millions.
The second example is Saudi Arabia which is also a large treasury, and as long as the royal family keeps buying the USA off, none of the American politicians will utter one word against violation of human rights or religious fanaticism. The third example is Turkey. As long as it is serving the interests of USA and NATO it is allowed to wage its war against the Kurd population just like Israel is allowed to wage war against Palestine.
When the earth is shaken with her (violent) shaking
And the earth brings forth her burdens,
And man says: What has befallen her?
On that day she shall tell her news,
Because your Lord had inspired her.
On that day men shall come forth in sundry bodies that they may be shown their works.
So. he who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it
And he who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.
(Qu'ran, 99 – The Shaking)

Love magic or muhabbat sihr
In the world today the three most famous magic's are: Arabian, Gipsy and Voodoo which have a lot of similarities but also a lot of differences.
The most popular magic is of course the one that is called red magic or love magic. It is used today by millions of people to improve their love life, to win back their partner, to evoke feelings in somebody or to just become more attractive. But love magic is not just a target of interest of anonymous people, it has been used by many past celebrities like Jacqueline Bouvier the widow of Kennedy and Onassis who had three witches that helped her, one was in New York, the other in Athens and the third one in Paris. Other celebrities were also seeking the help of those who knew how to create love magic, namely Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, Robert Redford, Sean Connery, Catherine Deneuve, Rita Hayworth, Petula Clark, Brigit Bardot, Merlin Monroe etc.
Naturally, today the need for the occult is even more pronounced in celebrities, a desire to be famous, rich, protected, loved or to know ones future transformed magic into a large industry that has a yearly turnover of one million Euros. In the world today the three most famous magic's are: Arabian, Gipsy and Voodoo which have a lot of similarities but also a lot of differences. They all have in common the immense ritualistic strength as well as the ability to annul themselves with humans. In the following passages we will show the easiest way to master love magic from the Arabian occult tradition and how to use it to keep your partner, better the relations in marriage, seduce a person that you fancy, disable cheating in marriage, etc.
The whole system of love magic that comes from the Arabian lands is based on the practice of building talismans, amulets, binding knots and summoning Jinn's. The source of this magical practice derives from ancient Egypt which is still considered as the cradle of magic. The Egyptian magic is regarded as the most powerful magic, this is understood from the numerous writings and records about miraculous events in the courts of the pharaoh as well as the fascinating rituals that were done by the priests of this land. An important contribution to magic and its perusal we owe to ancient Persia (Iran) and their priests known as Magi from which the word magic and magician is derived, one who practices magic.
Arabian love magic is done by tracking the lunar system or the Arabian months that is the time when the new moon is visible. All love magic is done during particular days in a week and at that time when it is most suitable. If this rule is not observed there will be no results. The old Arabian occultists claim that the most successful magic is done during the first days of Arabian months, before sunrise, on some high point or some hill. Also it is necessary to know that the hours of Jupiter, Sun and Venus are assigned for every kind of love magic. All other planets and their hours should be avoided if one wishes to see results.

Evil eye
Gaza became the largest concentration camp in the history of mankind which lasts for over 40 years. With the world watching, Israel expelled millions of Palestinians from their homes, continuing their Nazi policy and killing innocent people without regard whether it is a small child, a woman or an old man. For them the Palestinians are a people that need to perish and without a doubt in that regard they are copying Hitler and Nazi Germany- anyone who watches the news will notice that Israel usually kills ten Palestinians, with no regards of the gender or age, for every solider they lose.
It is ironical that the people who are presenting themselves as victims of the holocaust are committing the same atrocities over the Palestinian people. The once "holly land" is everything but holly, today it is a land filled with blood of the worst crimes and everyday killings. The Israelites are no longer a people who experience genocide but a people who commit genocide.
But no matter what Palestine is still alive and breathing. We need to write and talk about Palestine and its people and we should never let the memory of Palestine fade from existence.
The Palestine people as well as the rest of the Arab world have a rich store of folklore and beliefs. The most famous beliefs relate to spellbound eyes and their detrimental effect on people, especially children. According to the beliefs in Palestine, if a child falls ill suddenly after a visit from guest and starts crying for no reason and starts to reject food, it is then believed that it had fallen prey to the guest's spellbound eyes.
The ritual of annulling spellbound eyes is usually done by the mother or some old lady surrounded by a couple of curious women that are anxiously observing the ritual.
To neutralize foreign evil the mother needs to take three fingers of flour and salt, that need to be clean for this occasion, and repeat the following magical formula:
„Bism al-ain, bismi en-nadra, bism el-hasud“. And then throw the salt and flour in a metal container filled with hot coals adding to that mixture some dust from four rooms, seven grains of barley, a piece of Alum, and then she takes one hair from all the present inhabitants of the house („min atarha“). If one knows for sure who has spellbound the child, then it is only necessary to take a piece of thread from that person. To the hot coal a couple of seed of incense are added and one needs to wait for the thick fog to form in which the child will be bathed while pronouncing the magical formula. While holding the metal container (bassat nar) the woman that is conducting the ritual circles around the child saying: „Smallah alek! Hawattak ballah udachiltak lallah...“.
The magical formula is repeated three times and then the woman dips hands into a prepared vessel full of water and shaking it off in the direction of the fire she pronounces: „Ih! Intefi ja uwenw bin nuwere! En-nar lamakanha wel-ain Allah la'anha“. If squeaking sound are heard coming from the fire, that is deemed as a good sign-the effect of spellbound eyes is disappearing. Animated by what she hears the woman continues with the pronunciation of another magical formula to neutralize the evil: „Takhat, sahat. Ain el-adu rahat kusch! El-ebid“.
But if the effect is not forthcoming then the present women whisper and conclude that the spellbound eyes have resisted the power of the fire. Because of this revelation everyone is awaiting for the fire to burn down and for all the ingredients to melt and for it to cool down and form some kind of a figure, mostly it is determined who caused the child to be spellbound, the evil starts to lose its power.
A detrimental item for spellbound eyes is garlic, as is believed in Palastine, whose smell keeps away most evil from human beings.
