In the dark corners of dusty libraries, deep in the medinas of Morocco, Cairo, or Istanbul, lies a book shrouded in fear, fascination, and forbidden power: Shams al-Ma’arif al-Kubra (The Great Sun of Knowledge). Written centuries ago by Ahmad al-Buni, this mysterious grimoire has become the most infamous magical text in the Islamic world. For many, it is nothing less than a portal to the unseen world of jinn, spirits, sigils, and shadowy forces.
But what exactly is this book? Why is it feared by ruqyah practitioners, banned by scholars, yet still secretly used by black magicians?
Let us unmask the truth.
Who Was Ahmad al-Buni?
Ahmad ibn Ali al-Buni was a 13th-century mystic, mathematician, and Sufi scholar from the Maghreb—possibly modern-day Algeria or Morocco. Though his original intention was likely to explore the spiritual secrets of the Qur’an, names of Allah, and divine cosmology, his work took on a darker legacy over time.
The Shams al-Ma’arif is not merely a book of theory—it became a manual of operation for those who wished to access hidden powers, summon jinn, or bend the unseen world to their will.
Inside the Pages: What the Book Contains
This is not bedtime reading. The book contains hundreds of pages of occult techniques, including:
• Magic Squares (Al-Awfaq)
These numerical grids are said to channel spiritual forces. Each square corresponds to a divine name, a planetary spirit, or a jinn entity. These are used in amulets, spells, and talismans—many of which are still found today in ruqyah cases.
• Names of Angels and Jinn
The book reveals what it claims to be “true names” of celestial and infernal beings, allowing the practitioner to call upon or even control them.
• The Power of Letters and Numbers
The science of ‘Ilm al-Huruf (the knowledge of letters) and abjad numerology is at the core of Shams al-Ma’arif. It turns Arabic letters into magical codes and divine names into invocations.
• Talismanic Diagrams & Sigils
Complex symbols that claim to open the gates to knowledge, healing, destruction—or control over another’s will. Many of these diagrams have made their way into the hands of village sorcerers and underground occultists.
WHY IT IS FORBIDDEN?
Islamic scholars across generations have warned against using or even reading this book. Among their reasons:
It calls upon jinn and spirits, opening dangerous doors.
It manipulates the sacred names of Allah for worldly gain.
It is often used for black magic: sihr tafriq (separating couples), sihr al-mahabba (love magic), and even death curses.
In fact, the book is so controversial that in many Islamic countries, owning it is a criminal offense.
Real-World Reports: What Happens When People Use It
From Morocco to Indonesia, ruqyah practitioners tell chilling stories of what happens when people interact with this book:
Families tormented by jinn after someone read or kept the book at home.
Mental breakdowns, hallucinations, and possession cases triggered by reading even a single passage.
Recurring dreams of snakes, crows, or faceless beings whispering verses from the book.
Some ex-magicians who embraced repentance later confessed that their strongest spells came from the Shams al-Ma’arif.
Why You Must Stay Away
If you are suffering from sihr or jinn affliction, you may feel tempted to “fight fire with fire.” But turning to forbidden books or occult rituals only deepens the darkness.
True healing comes not from sigils or spells, but from Allah alone.
The Qur’an is your fortress. The Sunnah is your shield. Ruqyah based on authentic sources—like the audio protocols provided on ruqyah.co—is the safe, sacred path.
A WORD OF WARNING
If you ever come across the Shams al-Ma’arif:
Do not read it.
Do not keep it in your home.
Do not experiment with its content.
Instead, seek protection through Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat al-Kursi, and the morning/evening adhkar. And if afflicted, consult a qualified ruqyah practitioner—not a magician.
CONCLUSION: KNOWLEDGE VS OBSESSIONS
Knowledge of evil is not forbidden—but practicing it is. Understanding the existence of Shams al-Ma’arif helps us expose the tricks of the shayateen, recognize the signs of sihr, and protect ourselves.
But remember: the most powerful force in the unseen world is not a sigil or spirit—it is tawheed, sincere du’a, and trust in Allah.
