Taweez is a talisman that is believed to have supernatural powers. It is used by people to protect themselves from evil spirits, negative energy and for various other purposes such as gaining employment or love, the ultimate and actual power is with ALLAH and the ultimate protector is ALLAH. Its use dates back thousands of years and can be found in many countries across the world including Europe, Asia and Africa. It is common in Muslim communities in many countries, especially those of the Indian subcontinent and parts of Africa. In Europe, Taweez usage is quite high in UK, England and Asian countries such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The Taweez are made available to the masses by dua (prayer) reciters who have a following among people. The taweez is generally kept with the person keeping it or given to someone else as a gift with instructions on how it should be used and disposed off when no longer needed. These are most commonly found for sale at shrines and mosques, which are considered holy places by Muslims and as such attract large numbers of followers seeking blessings from God through prayer there (dua).
These are the countries that have a high prevalence of taweez usage:
- Afghanistan
- Egypt
- India
- Iran
- Pakistan
In Europe, most common are the taweez in United Kingdom and France, where it has its roots. In addition to these two countries, it’s also popular in Italy, Germany and Spain. It is also widespread in Portugal and the Netherlands (which share a border with France).
The Nordic countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland are all home to taweez practitioners as well. Switzerland and Belgium are also on this list; both have fairly large Muslim populations that may explain why they have a more open attitude towards taweez than other European nations do.
As for Eastern Europe: Hungary is one country where you’ll find many practitioners of the art (and even some famous ones!). Austria is another place with an active community of taweez experts; this may be due to its proximity to Germany—a place where people seek out these services regularly since many believe them to work wonders!
In addition to this list, you may find that there are specific states or regions within a country where people use taweez more often than others. For example, if you are living in India, then it would be wise to visit one of its cities; since most Indians live in cities (about 70%), it’s likely that your chances of finding someone who can provide you with a taweez will increase if you go there instead of staying at home!
In India, taweez is a household item. Many people use it in their daily lives. It is used not only by Muslims but also Hindus and Sikhs. Taweez is often placed on the body of children to protect them from illness or danger (not unlike amulets). Taweez can be seen hanging from mirrors and doors in homes all over India, even if people do not know what a taweez is or how it works.
Taweez are used for protection both against evil spirits and physical threats such as sickness and accidents. They are also believed to grant health benefits or bring good fortune to the wearer (such as luck).
One common belief is that reciting certain verses from the Qur’an while writing out a taweez can heal diseases such as leprosy; this practice was banned by Prophet Muhammad himself because he considered it idolatry
You may be surprised to learn that taweez is in common use in Pakistan. This is a country in South Asia, a Muslim country and the 6th most populous nation on Earth. It’s also one of the world’s developing countries—in fact, it has been classified as a “lower-middle income” nation by the World Bank since 2011.
Afghanistan is a mountainous country in Central Asia. It has a high prevalence of Taweez usage, as it’s a Muslim country.
Taweez has been used for centuries and can be found in many different cultures around the world. Taweez comes in many shapes, sizes and materials including copper or silver coins with Quranic inscriptions on them which are worn as necklaces. The Islamic community believes that these amulets have healing properties because they contain verses from the Koran which are believed to possess supernatural powers
