Drama As Rubutun Sha Teabags Emerge In Europe Markets by ManirBK: 6:54am On Apr 20 |
Tea bags with Quranic inscriptions said to have healing
power have emerged in markets in Europe, Daily Trust
reports.
The development has however raised dust, especially in
northern Nigeria, where ‘rubutun allo’ (Quranic verses and
other Islamic prayers written on wooden slates, or tablets
using ‘tawada’, also known as local ink) are prescribed for
drinking with the hope of getting spiritual healing or
protection from evil.
The usage gained prominence many decades ago among a
section of Muslims, especially in northern Nigeria, and is
also a source of livelihood for some malams (clerics).
The newly introduced tea bags are prepared such that one
doesn’t have to write the verses or prayers on the local
slate, rather, they are inscribed on dissoluble paper that is
packaged like the normal tea bags.
Those behind the innovation said what is required is just
water in a cup and one is good to go as the tea dissolves
straightaway and is ready for drinking.
Daily Trust reports that traditionally, specific Qur’an verses
are written on a slate (allo) and allowed to dry before being
washed and the water drunk with the hope of recovering
from ailments or protection against evil and evil.
Clerics kick
Some Muslims, both at home and abroad, are said to have
sought the rubutun allo for protection or recovery from
ailments. For those outside the country, it is normally sent
to them in bottles or jerry cans, as the case may be. Some
not only drink it but rob it on their body or bathe with the
rubutun sha.
However, some clerics who believe in the efficacy of the
preparation have kicked against the packaging of the
rubutun allo in teabags, saying some people want to take
over their ‘business’.
Following the emergence of the teabags, which has gone
viral, some clerics expressed their displeasure over the
development saying that it will throw them out of
‘business.’
Traditionally, people visited clerics whom they paid to write
the appropriate verses for them, mostly out of fear of not
getting the recommended ones properly, or typographical
errors.
Those in the rubutun allo for healing/protection business
here in Nigeria are accusing the Netherlands-based
company that introduced the new teabags, identified as
Quranfi, of trying to get them out of business.
“This is absolutely sabotage,” one of the clerics in Kano,
said. “I wonder why they feel they have to make it like a tea
bag,” he said.
Another cleric doubted the efficacy of the innovation.
“How sure are they of having the ‘sirri’ (secret) of ensuring
that it works?” he queried.
New teabag not for everyone
However, less privileged individuals and middle-class
income earners may find it difficult to afford to buy the
‘healing’ teabags.
It was gathered that a packet goes for not less than
N30,800, while the most expensive is sold for N307,400.
A packet of ‘Suratul Baqara, Maryam and Saffat among
others and verses that destroy witchcraft cost N30,800, a
packet of the complete Qur’an is sold at the rate of
N43,000.
A set of protection verses goes for N307,400 alongside
some items, while the medium size costs N215, 200.
The company has also introduced the Quranic Sheet for
Ruqyah (x16) called the Quranfi Ruqyah Package. Each
package includes 16 sheets of Quranic verses specifically
chosen for their ability to destroy various forms of sihr
(‘black magic’).
One is just expected to dilute the Quranic sheet in water to
create a potent ruqyah (seeking refuge, remembrance, and
supplications that are used as a means of treating
sicknesses and other problems) solution that can be used
for drinking, bathing, and spraying in the home.
The product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or
prevent any disease and is not a substitute for professional
medical advice, according to the manufacturers.
A search online showed Etsy, a global online marketplace,
describing the Quranfi Ultimate Ruqyah Package as “a
collection of our most popular and powerful Quranic tools
for spiritual protection and healing,” adding that the
“package includes a variety of Quranic sheets designed to
provide protection against jinn, sihr, al-ayn, and hassad.” https://dailytrust.com/drama-as-rubutun-sha-teabags-emerge-in-europe-markets/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod fergie001 |
