The invisible world of Muslims. Supernatural beings and magic (sir) in Islam. Why did the stone turn black

Human life consists of many details. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed, a lot of pictures pop up before his eyes. A person wakes up and a hundred responsibilities await him. Every day is another test for the believer.

There is an important difference between a believer and an unbeliever - this is his attitude to worldly life. The believer knows that everything is under the guidance of the Almighty. He knows that everything - illness and joy, success and misfortune - comes from God, not a single event happens by chance.

The believer turns to the Almighty in prayer, worship and strength of spirit. He knows that not a single leaf will fall in this universe without the knowledge of Allah. He knows that the Almighty, whose power and strength permeates the entire universe, directs people and controls events as He wishes.

The believer enjoys the blessings of turning to Allah and sincere faith at all times. Physically he is involved in events, in worldly affairs, making money and difficulties, but his soul remains aloof from all this. There is an invisible wall between the believer and this world. This is a wall of obedience and obedience to Allah, steadfastness and endless faith in Allah. This wall is so strong that nothing can penetrate it. Nothing can disturb, grieve, anger this believer, and nothing can lead such a believer into disobedience and insufficient worship.

Like the prophets (peace be upon them), they separate their souls from the life of this world through an invisible wall, and have a strong will and unshakable strength thanks to their faith and devotion to the Most High. They know that all that every little thing happens under the direction of Allah. They live real, not superficial. This invisible veil protects them from the tricks of the shaitan and surrounding evil.

When the prophet Yusuf found himself in a well and spent many years in prison, he did not resent and did not rebel, despite the fact that he was innocent. When the prophet Musa accidentally killed a man in a fight, he did not rebel. The Prophet Nuh did not rebel when he lost his son, the Prophet Lut did not rebel when his wife died, all of them remained steadfast before Allah Almighty and obeyed the will that He had prepared for them.

Despite how difficult the trials were, thanks to their faith, they always coped with them in order to achieve the pleasure of Allah. They knew that all power and strength belonged to Allah alone, and each test is sent down to prepare the soul for eternal life. They looked at every event with the eyes of wisdom and never equated companions with God.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive when associates are attached to Him, but forgives all other (or less serious) sins, to whom he wishes. But whoever associates partners with Allah, he concocts a great sin (4:48).

Equating partners with Allah is not only worshiping any idols, it also means honoring people and events as independent from Allah. Such people forget about the Almighty in the turmoil of everyday life and go over to the side of the shaitan. Polytheism leads to a lack of submission, which in turn leads to discontent and unhappiness.

Worldly misfortunes fall on human shoulders as a heavy burden. Shaitan envelops him and alienates him from God. The person's head is filled with thoughts about other people and what they will say. He forgets that they too are only in submission to Allah, as a result he finds himself in a deep spiritual shock. The believer collects all his will and strength and turns to the Almighty in complete devotion and submission, and thus frees himself from worldly worries. Thus, he builds a wall of non-penetration between the true and the superficial.

Behind this wall remains a life full of problems, worries and worries, and inside a heart filled with peace and hope of Allah. The believer must build this wall between himself and the mortal life and turn all his thoughts, love and attention to the Almighty. The constant thought of Allah and the knowledge that all events take place under His control pacify the believer. This is how wisdom is formed, indescribable calmness and harmony fill the heart of the believer.

The main goal of a believer's life is to achieve deep faith, which the prophets possessed, a life in obedience to the Most High. Paradise is for such.

Say, “Shall I tell you what is better than this? For those who fear God, the Lord has Gardens of Eden, in which rivers flow, and in which they will abide forever, as well as purified spouses and contentment from Allah. " Allah sees slaves (3:15).

Let's report on the signs that will appear closer to the end of the world. Many of them have come true, and we see them. But there are those that have not yet appeared - very large ones. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) predicted everything that will happen before the world is mired in vices and the Day of Judgment comes. When the whole earth is filled with violence and injustice, an imam will appear to restore order. The books say that his name is Muhammad or Ahmad, and his father's name is' Abdullah. As for the hadiths told about him by the favorite of the Almighty (peace and blessings be upon him), there are a lot of them. This is Imam Maddi, whom we expect, and do not believe those who deny his appearance, since Taha (Prophet Muhammad) (peace and blessings be upon him) truly said that he would appear, even if it happens the day before the end of the world.

Who wants to know the authentic hadith narrated by the imams, look in the books. All the hadiths of Habib (peace and blessings be upon him) reliably say that Maddi is from his offspring. It is said that he is beautiful in appearance, has facial features like an Arab, and has a physique like the Israelites. Further it is said: "The religion that began with us will end on Maddi, who is also one of us (from my offspring)." Moreover, joy to the followers of the tariqah: Imam Rabbani says that the chain of the Naqshubandi tariqah will not be interrupted until near the end of the world, and Imam Madi will be in this tariqa. The tariqa that has come down to us in its pure form, with an unchanging basis, in the same unchanging, pure form will reach it.

He is the last of the successors of the Naqshubandi tariqah, and there will be no more murshids after him. He is alive today, but hidden from the people and will appear when the earth is filled with violence.

As for those signs of the approach of the Day of Judgment, which have not yet appeared, first of all Imam Maddi will appear, then Dajjal (Antichrist) will come, after that Isa (Peace be upon him) will descend, then a certain animal Dabat al-Arzi will appear. Further, the sun will rise from the west, they will take the Koran from the earth, leaving only clean sheets. After killing Dajjal, Yajuj-Majuj (Gog and Magog) will appear. People will elect Maddi as Imam and between the Maqam of Ibrahim and the corner where Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone) is located, they will swear allegiance to him. It is said that this will happen on the day of Ashura (the tenth day of the month of Muharram). The final sign of Maddi's announcement will be an eclipse of the moon on the first night of the month of Ramadan and an eclipse of the sun on the fifteenth day. These will be unprecedented eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Then the accursed Dajjal will appear in Khorasan, Jews and Turks will follow him, and it is said that seventy thousand people will follow him from Isfahan alone.

Another legend says that the year when Maddi appears will be odd, and after his election as imam, he will live no more than nine years.

Maddi's announcement will be a great joy for all Muslims in the world. Angels in the sky, birds, insects - not even an animal will remain that has not shown joy. The number of those who will swear allegiance to him in Masjid al-Haram will be equal to the number of participants in the Battle of Badr, and there were three hundred and thirteen of them, and the first speech after the oath will be made by the Caliph, leaning his back against the Kaaba. Then he will read a verse from the Qur'an with the meaning: "The one whom Allah gave you (Bakiyyatullah) is better for you, if only you believe" (Qur'an, 11:86).

And adding: "I am the one whom Allah gave you, and His deputy," he concludes his speech. He will be greeted only with the words: "As-salamu alayka, I am Bakiyatullah fil-arzi."

Then Bakiyyatullah will arrive in Kufu and send troops in all directions. The hadith says that an angel will hover over him in the air, who will announce: "This is Madi - the deputy of Allah on earth, follow him!"

Imprisoned by the power of Allah Almighty on the island until his hour, Dajjal, along with the mentioned army of followers, like a dog that has broken loose from the chain, will begin his invasion. The father of all troublemakers, Dajjal will have the opportunity to plunge people into turmoil, which has not yet been on earth since the day of its creation, not to let everyone see it. There will be no place where the enemy's foot will not step, he will even intend to go to Mecca and Medina. These two reserved places, the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Bayt al-Mukaddas) and Mount Tura Saina '(Sinai), will be protected by angels and will not allow the damned to step there with a dirty foot.

The situation in the countries of the East will become very difficult, as if in a conflagration where fire and water have mixed. Great upheavals will begin throughout the world, and the banner of the Gazavat will rise. One damned from Yazeed's offspring in Damascus will oppose Maddi, and the Imam will kill him. With the sword, he will call the people to the path of Islam, and thus the Sharia of Habib (peace and blessings be upon him) will spread throughout the earth. Those who oppose will be humiliated, and those who turn away from Islam will find destruction. Seventy thousand Muslims, performing takbir, will take the city of Rumiyat.

As for the ill-fated Dajjal, he was born during the time of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At the request of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah Almighty ferried him from the land of Hejaz to an island in the sea. This damned is a man from the offspring of Adam (peace be upon him), but his mother is from the offspring of the damned iblis. He will appear in the Jewish faith and will argue with people, claiming that he is a god. "If I revive your dead father, will you follow me?" - he will tell his son. At this time, the shaitan will appear in front of him in the guise of his father, and the son, taking this for the truth, will believe in Dajjal and fall into error. The lost accursed will not have one eye, and “kafir” (unfaithful) will be written on his forehead. They say that his riding animal will be a donkey, which will have such ears that they can carry a hundred people. "Heaven and Hell are in my power, and my religion is true, and besides me there is no one else," this infidel will assert.

And then Almighty Allah from heaven will bring down the son of Maryam - Ruhullah ‘Isa (peace be upon him). He will be lowered to the minaret of the Al-Amawiyya mosque in Damascus, when the jamaat and the imam of this mosque, appointed by Imam Maddi, will collectively perform the pre-sunset prayer.

They will make Isa an imam and after him they will complete the pre-sunset prayer. From there Ruhullah ‘Isa (peace be upon him) will go to Bayt al-Mukaddas, to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and there, by the time of dawn prayer, he will meet with Madi.

Madi and his friends will respectfully ask ‘Isa (peace be upon him) to become imam in prayer, but Ruhullah (peace be upon him) will not come forward, but will perform prayer for Madi. He will perform this first prayer for Maddi to show that he came to Islam (that is, he will follow the Sharia of the Prophet Muhammad) - only for this he will do so, because 'Isa (peace be upon him) is a prophet, and the level of awliya will not reach the level prophet. Moreover, 'Isa (peace be upon him) is one of the five chosen prophets. And he will implement the sharia of dear Habib (peace and blessings be upon him), which is the seal of all the prophets.

Then Isa Ruhullah (peace be upon him), together with Imam Maddi, will follow the Dajjal, and near Ramlat, in the Ludd area, they will catch Dajjal, who is saving his soul by flight. At this point, Dajjal will be given a drink from the horn of death. Isa (peace be upon him) will hit him with a spear, and he will fall to the ground. Immediately they will slaughter the accursed, and humanity will be saved from his turmoil. For the Jews who followed him, there will come a real "Doomsday" from which no one can escape.

And they, like partridge chicks, will hide in different places, and each tree behind which they hid will testify: "A Jew hid behind me too." And there will not be a single tree that does not speak. So the followers of Dajjal will be exterminated, there will not be one of them who could tell about it, and those Muslims who will be killed by them will become shahids.

Maddi's advisers will be non-Arabs who have attained the knowledge of Allah and who speak Arabic. He will not make a single decision alone without consulting them. After the Dajjal turmoil is over, there will be no religion other than Islam. Jews, Christians will believe in ‘Isa (peace be upon him), and those who disbelieve will be punished with swords. They will not get off with paying tribute (jizyat), they will only answer with a sword. Sharia will shine like the sun in clear weather, and the world will become more beautiful, getting rid of shirk (polytheism). Life in the whole world will become wonderful, having achieved perfection in order and justice, strife and strife will disappear. Sheep and wolves will live in peace, and snakes will play with young children. The economy will flourish, the people will get rich, the harvests of the fields and gardens will be unprecedented, even one bunch of grapes will be able to eat several people. The construction industry will be so developed that not a single dilapidated building will remain. The living, being in bliss, as if in Paradise, will grieve, thinking about the deceased: "Oh, they would have been alive!" Some legends say that this will continue for forty years, but they will fly by like one day.

During this time, by the predestination of Allah, Imam Maddi will leave life for another world, and ‘Isa (peace be upon him) will bury him in Bayt al-Mukaddas, having performed Namaz-Janaza over him.

Ya'juzh-Ma'juzh (Gog and Magog) will appear and desecrate the whole world, they will all attack ‘Isa (peace be upon him) and push him to Mount Tura Saina. There he and the army will be surrounded and will experience difficulties. Due to severe hunger and thirst, they will find themselves in a quandary.

Isa (peace be upon him) will stand before Almighty Allah and beg to bring them out of this state. At the same hour, Ya'juzh-Ma'juzh, all as one, leaning on each other, will perish. And then Isa (peace be upon him) with his army will descend from Mount Tura Saina. At this time, there will be a smell of falling from the dead bodies of Ya'juzh-Ma'juzh on the ground, and flocks of birds will arrive at the command of the Almighty and throw their rotten bodies into the sea. After that, there will be a rain of mercy that will wash the whole earth, and the world will become the same.

Then ‘Isa Ruhullah (peace be upon him) will arrive in Mecca. During his walk around the Kaaba, Dabbat al-arzi will appear, whose appearance and dimensions cannot be conveyed in words and described with a feather: a head like a bull, four legs, a tail like a ram, ears like an elephant, a neck long like an ostrich, sides like a a cat, color like a tiger, chest like a lion, feet like a camel, eyes like a pig, with two wings, covered with hair - the Almighty created him as he wanted. The appearance of such an animal is also mentioned in the Quran.

It is said that, having appeared, this animal will blow on all four sides, and Allah Almighty will make this breath the reason for the appearance on the forehead of all people of the inscription - the name of each person, which the Almighty gave him with His eternal knowledge (ilm al-azal). And this inscription will be convex, it will be visible, no matter where you look, from afar or from close range... It is believed to be reliable that this animal is the baby camel who ran away and hid in the rock after the people killed Salih's camel. According to the hadith, this animal will come out of the Masjid al-Haram. It is also said that it will come out from the side of Safa Hill. No one knows this better than Allah Almighty.

Then Isa Ruhullah (peace be upon him) will go to Medina and visit Ravza Ahmad (peace and blessings be upon him). In Medina he will marry and have two sons, after which he will fall ill and leave this world. He will be buried in the venerable Ravza of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and his grave will be dug next to ‘Umar Farouk. After that, nothing worthwhile will remain on the earth, and all clean and decent people will leave this world. At the command of Allah, the sun will rise from the west, and people will turn to repentance, but the Creator will not accept them, for at this time the gates of repentance will be closed.

Everyone will remain in his position - the unbeliever in unbelief, and the Muslim in Islam. Then the Speech of the Most High will be taken away, and only blank pages will remain in the books. Also, from all the readers who knew the Koran by heart, what they knew will be removed from their hearts, and they will turn into ignoramuses who do not know a single letter. And then this ignorant people will switch to poetry, and all their skill in reading the Koran will be expressed in chanting verses.

However, all these signs will appear after the death of Ruhullah ‘Isa (peace be upon him) and the destruction of the Kaaba by the Habashites. Then a warm, pleasant wind will blow, which will become a sign for the believers, and everyone who has at least a drop of faith in their hearts will leave this world as one. And not a single person will remain on earth who would pronounce the name "Allah". The remaining worst people will behave like animals, and Allah Almighty will complete the life of mankind on them.

When Israfil blows his horn for the first time, there will be an earthquake like no other on earth. It will not stop during the year and will intensify every day. The sun will darken, the stars will hang, the mountains and hills will collapse, and the whole earth will become a flat field. The shepherds, leaving their flock, will scatter to their homes, from the villages the people will run to the cities. In a panic, nursing mothers will forget about their babies, pregnant women will have miscarriages from fear. The condition of people will be as if they are drunk. This will be the result of the first blow into the Horn.

The angel Israfil will sound the Horn for the second time, and then everything created for disappearance will perish, only four will remain in heaven and on earth: Jabrail, Mikail, Israfil and Israel. Almighty Allah, although He is all-knowing, will ask: "Has anyone survived from My creations, O angel of death?" Answering the Creator, Azrael will report: "We are the four of us." Then Allah tells the angel of death: "Take the souls of the angels Israfil and Mikail." And both of them, like two huge mountains or like two logs, will fall to the ground. The angels Israel and Jabrail will remain alive. And after that, the Almighty tells Israel: "You also die, O angel of death." Following the command, the angel of death will die. The Mighty Creator will turn to Jabrail and ask him: "O Jabrail, who survived?" Dzhabrail will answer: "There are immortal and eternal You and I, Dzhabrail, created for death." “O Jabrail, your turn has come to die,” the Creator will inform him. Then Jabrail will prostrate himself in the prostration of the earth and in this position will complete the time of his life allotted to him by the Almighty. Everything created in heaven and on earth will perish, except for what the Creator created for eternity.

Except for the One Only Mighty Creator, no one will survive. There will remain One without a partner, the Only, Alive, Existing eternally, Judge, Just and Pure Allah from shortcomings. The Almighty will ask the question: "Who owns the power today?" There is no one on earth who would answer Him. Then Allah Himself will answer: "Lillahi-l-wahidi-l-kahhar" - to the Only Reigning Allah.

لله الواحد القهار

Worldly rulers who quarreled on earth will be speechless, and the tyrants who oppressed the people, falling into prison, will be imprisoned. As for the believers, for whom the world was a prison, they will be content to receive lasting, eternal joy. The mercy and generosity of the Creator will not leave them, and the hardships that they endured on earth will be forgotten. If people who have spent their lives in great sins die without repentance, they are unlikely to be saved. Repentance in his dying state did not save Firmanavn, so turn to Allah.

This concludes the explanation, taken from the books and shortened if possible, of the signs that the Messenger told about (peace and blessings be upon him) and which cannot but appear in the times near the end of the world. I think that's enough. I did not cite all the versions that are contained in the books on the interpretation of the Koran and hadiths, but, having considered, I entered some of them in a notebook without going into contradictions. So, if one Alim tells in a different way, there is no need to argue with him, proving that he is wrong. Maybe he is telling a version of another transmitter, and the unenlightened man is better off considering both as correct. Also note that I almost forgot to warn about one condition: the transmitter must be from the Ahl al-Sunnah.

As for the Shiites, they claim that the expected Maddi is Muhammad ibn Hasan Askari. They also say that the aforementioned Muhammad disappeared, hiding in the ground. They say that this boy was 5 years old. Shiites expect this Maddi. They also consider him the twelfth imam. Even Taha (peace and blessings be upon him), whom Allah has sent as mercy for the worlds, they do not revere as he is. This is an extremely wrong belief that does not correspond to Sharia and is rejected by reason. The story of the true Maddi, which we told earlier, is given in the book "Yavakit". As after the departure of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), impostors appeared from this world who declared themselves prophets, so from time to time there appear troublemakers who call themselves Maddi. Let's not waste time talking about them and calling everyone by name, their number has reached eleven people.

The last of them was Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah al-Qahtani, who argued in al-Haram, proving that he was Madi, forced the people to swear allegiance to him by force of arms and, leaving respect for al-Haram, shed much blood there.

We also heard about the last turmoil that took place in 1400 according to the Muslim chronology. We are talking about the turmoil organized by the Iranians in 1979.

From the book "History of the Prophets". Volume II

In the western part of the kingdom Saudi Arabia 75 kilometers from the Red Sea is the holy city of Mecca for all Muslims. According to legend, it was here that the founder of Islam, the prophet Muhammad, was born. In 610 he began to preach his ideas and founded a new religion called Islam. The followers of Muhammad called themselves Muslims. During prayer, they turned towards Mecca, and not towards Jerusalem, as before.

From the very inception of Islam, its main shrine was the Kaaba, a stone structure in the courtyard of the Sacred Mosque al-Mesjed al-Haram in Mecca. The building, built of granite, is 15 meters high, 10 meters long and 12 meters wide. The four corners of the Kaaba are oriented to the four cardinal points, it is covered with fabric on top, and inside it there is a door of pure gold leading to the interior. In the eastern or stone corner of the Kaaba, there is a black stone with a silver edging.

This stone is black in color and irregular oval in shape with a diameter of about 30 cm is a very important element in Islam. As Muslims say, the black stone was sent to them from heaven by Allah himself. According to legend, immediately after the sacred stone came down from the sky, it was white and had such a dazzling shine that it could be seen even 4 days' journey to the city of Mecca. The black stone acquired its dark color from the fact that numerous sinners touched it, legend says. From a scientific point of view, the nature of black stone has not yet been studied. Some scientists consider it a large meteorite, and some confidently claim that it is a large chunk of volcanic rock, since rocky Arabia is full of extinct volcanoes.

The Kaaba was built by the first man on Earth, Adam, but later it was destroyed by a flood. After that, an exact copy of this shrine was erected by the ancestors of the local peoples, Patriarch Ibrahim with his son Ismail. At the same time, the scripture indicates that the building was built using an unusual device. It was a flat stone that could rise to any height and levitate above the ground, acting as a kind of forests. This stone has survived to this day, and, despite the fact that it no longer has those miraculous flying properties, it is also a Muslim shrine. Every Muslim should visit Mecca at least once in his life. The ritual pilgrimage is called the hajj, it provides for seven-fold circumambulation around the Kaaba, symbolizing the order and subordination of all beings to a single solar systemincarnated in god.

Mecca. Muslim black stone

There are many outstanding places on the globe, it is difficult to count them on one hand. Among them, a special place is occupied by Mecca, the holy city of Islam, hiding from the world in a cozy valley. The city, which does not need walls, is preserved by the surrounding mountains and, as the Muslims say, Allah himself. This is the city that everyone who considers himself a Muslim looks at in prayer. Even taking into account only the listed facts, it is already worth visiting Mecca. But even more amazing and unusual things are waiting for you here.

The flat stone of the Kaaba should be considered one of the amazing sights of Mecca. It is located in the famous Kaaba Temple. According to the legend of the Arabs, this temple was built for Adam, the first of the people. He was very sad about the loss of paradise and the temple that was there. Then the Lord took pity on him and presented a copy of the heavenly temple, lowering it to earth from heaven. After the flood, the building and its place were lost.

The prophet Abraham re-erected this building. And in order for him to build the Temple faster, the angel Jabrail brought him a flat stone that hung in the air and could serve as a forest. This stone is now in the temple, so every believer can see the imprint of Abraham's feet on it.

Why did the stone turn black?

According to legend, the black stone appeared when Abraham was almost finished building the Kaaba. At this time, he needed such an object that would indicate the place where the ritual of walking around the temple could begin. Since in paradise the angels and Adam walked seven times around the temple, then Abraham wanted to do the same. For this reason, the angel Jabrail gave him a black stone.

One of the versions says that the black stone is the converted guardian angel of Adam. He was turned to stone after he missed the fall of Adam. When the black stone of the Kaaba fell from heaven to earth, it glowed with a bright white color.

Gradually the sins of people turned it into a dark cobblestone until it completely darkened. The composition of this artifact is still unknown to scientists.

Some believe that this is a piece of volcanic rock still unknown to science. Others believe it is a large meteorite that fell close to where the Kaaba is. The black stone from this, of course, does not become less attractive, gathering around not only believers, but also crowds of tourists.

After all, this stone is associated with many stories that are interesting in their depth and uniqueness. Once, when the Kaaba needed to be repaired, each of the Quraysh families wanted to be honored to carry the famous relic. Because of this, a bitter dispute arose between them. Mohammed solved the problem in an interesting way. He spread his cloak on the floor, put a black stone there, and each of the elders of noble families, taking by his edge, moved the cloak to a new place. So Mahomet settled the dispute.

It is also interesting that Muslims believe in absolution after visiting Mecca. They call such a pilgrimage hajj and wear white turbans as a sign of it. Perhaps everyone should at least touch the purity and beauty of the Kaaba by visiting the mysterious Mecca. It is located in Saudi Arabia - the holy of holies of Islam, surrounded by mountains in a small valley. The holy city is home to the famous majestic Forbidden Mosque - the world's largest mosque, which houses the rather strange construction of the Kaaba - the main Muslim shrine. It is to him that the gaze of all Muslims has been turning to him for over 1400 years during their daily five-time prayers. As stated in the Quran - the holy book of Muslims who profess Islam, the Kaaba is the first structure in the world created to worship Allah.

In our time, the territory of the mosque together with the area around the Kaaba is approximately 193 thousand square meters. 130 thousand pilgrims can see and worship the shrine at the same time. Ten stately minarets are located at the corners of the Forbidden Mosque. Six of them reach a height of 105 m. According to some scientists and researchers, the Kaaba is the oldest temple in the world.

The Kaaba is a kind of cubic structure that is located inside the Forbidden Mosque. Its height is 15 meters. The stone in Mecca is a place of pilgrimage for Muslims from all over the world.

Sacred stone Mahadi Tash

The sacred for Muslims stone Mahadi-Tash is located about 2 km from the village of Ust-Bagaryak at the bend of the Sinara River. In dry weather, you can drive directly to the stone in any car. There is a large meadow next to the stone, which is convenient for relaxing.

They say about Mahadi that he was from the Mishar Tatars, who moved to this area from the Caucasus or the Volga. Whether it was real or not is now almost impossible to establish. There is also a legend that he descended from heaven to a stone by the river and performed the rite of ablution. Previously, the tracks were clear, now they are blurred and out of shape, although if you dream a little, you can see the prints bare feet, imprint of kumgan, gutter and holes from water droplets that hit the stone.

In the footsteps, it can be assumed that the ceremony took place in the direction of the North, but Islam uniquely determines the position of the person praying to Mecca, and in our case it is the South.

Mahadi-Tash is not very popular. There are no religious pilgrims here. Scientific expeditions are also infrequent guests. In 1949, after a meteor shower in the Kunashak area, the stone was examined by ufologists, but the version of a space alien was not confirmed. In 2005, the NIIG Chelyabinsk-Kosmopoisk expedition examined the stone, but did not find any deviations from the natural object.

After choosing the new seven wonders of the world, which did not include any of the monuments of Russia, MK-Ural proposed to hold a vote and choose seven wonders of the Chelyabinsk region. One of the nominees for this competition was Mahadi-Tash. In August 2007, the competition ended, but Mahadi-Tash could not get the required number of votes and was not included in the list of selected miracles.

But despite all this, people go to the Mahadi-Tash stone who believe that Saint Mahadi prayed on it, who will certainly help and will once again perform a miracle.

Belief in the Invisible, in Eternal life, is the main meaning of the answer to the question of why the Koran was sent to people. Allah says: “This is the Book; it is the right path, no doubt, for those who fear Allah, who believe in the Invisible, who persist in prayer, and spend from the wealth we have given ”. (Quran 2: 2-3)

This verse definitely states for us that faith in the Unseen is the basis for firm faith. Certainly, the six pillars of faith are based on confidence in the Unseen.

Allah notes that the belief in something outside of ordinary life, invisible here on earth, is the first characteristic of the believer. We do not share a point of view that limits our confessions only to circumstances that we can perceive with our mind. We do not support beliefs that are based only on what we can see in the physical world. This will make us blind to our faith, we will not be able to accept what is outside of earthly life.

Allah gives us the scales on which we are invited to lean when He says: “There are signs on earth that affirm faith, as well as in yourself. Or do you have no understanding? In Heaven is your share and the promised reward. " (Quran 51: 20-22).

In this verse, Allah indicates the connection between the Invisible and the objects of our main study, consideration. The very word "Invisible", in the sense of "Heavenly, Upper World", is dominant in faith. This is a tangible word for us. This is a concept outside of which we have no life.

Muslims believe in the existence of something beyond human perception. Muslims believe in Allah and His definitions. Muslims believe in life after death, in what follows the Resurrection, believe in Heaven and Hell, in Libra and in the Bridge, and other circumstances, the indications of which are contained in the Quran and the reliable Sunnah.

We are bequeathed to believe in jinn, for Allah says: “Say (Muhammad): It was revealed to me that several jinn listened to the reading of the Koran and said: “Indeed, we have heard an amazing Quran. He instructs on the straight path, and we believed in him and will not associate partners with our Lord. " (Quran 72: 1-2)

Allah said: “We sent several jinn to you to listen to the Koran. When they came to him, they said: "Shut up and listen!" When it (reading the Quran) was finished, they returned to their people to warn them. They said: “O our people! Indeed, we have heard the Scriptures sent down after Musa (Moses), confirming what came before him. He directs to the truth and the straight path. " (Quran, 46: 29-30)

Thus, in muslim faith the question of the existence of jinn is determined. Jinn exist and they are subject to the Lord and the Creator, which is noted through the message of the Prophets. Among the jinn there are believers and non-believers. Our belief in such concepts does not require empirical (confirmed by experience) evidence.

We need to agree that human intelligence and ability are limited. Some concepts and objects among those created by Allah are not for our discussion and consideration.

For comparison, let us turn to the concept of the human soul. Although she is vital to the human body, her nature is an absolute mystery.

Allah says: “They ask you about the soul. Say: the soul is from the works of my Lord. And knowledge is transferred to you, but small ”.

Belief in the Invisible gives our minds confidence that it will be as it is said in Revelation. Without faith in the Invisible, depression begins in a person's life, a fear of space. Therefore, regardless of what religious denomination people refer to themselves, everyone has a common basic orientation - they need the Lord and the Creator, especially in times of difficulties.

Allah described this tendency in the Qur'an: “When they board a ship, they cry out to Allah, purifying their faith before him. When He saves them and brings them to dry land, they immediately begin to associate partners. " (Quran 29:65)

In addition to the fact that Islam establishes faith in the Invisible within what is contained in the Scripture handed down to us, Islam provides humanity with ample opportunities for the development of reason and the accumulation of experienced knowledge. Islam inspires to study the worlduncovering his riddles.

Islam requires in each case of our appeal to the theme of the Invisible, to strictly rely on Scripture.

In the Quran, Allah instructs us regarding the sayings that people have made about Paradise: "Say: Bring your proof (which you hold) if you're honest." (Quran, 2: 111)

We have been given the criterion by which we distinguish between belief in the Heavenly, Invisible Kingdom and belief in superstition. Belief in the Invisible cannot be comprehended by the power of our mind, rationally.

Superstition, on the other hand, is the result of mistakes when we do not apply our mind where it should be applied. Everything concerning the concept of the Invisible, to which Islam calls people of faith, cannot be rationally established. And at the same time, the content of this concept does not conflict with what our mind tells us!

Ibn Taymiyyah explained it this way: Islam deals with concepts that are beyond the grasp of the human mind. These concepts (associated with the Invisible World, its structure and order), the human mind is unable to resolve itself. Our mind does not deny the existence of the Invisible. On the contrary, the rational knowledge necessary for human life in this world is also necessary for the acceptance of the Invisible World.
