Marabouts and fortune tellers

this is a work i will spend a lot of time on. it is a wide research area. i intend to do a classic work on the topic in detail later and i will provide pictures and proof of mixture of Islamic writings and other Alain ideas in the marabout work.
this thread will continue from where i stop.

The evils of fortune telling, divination, Astrology, maraborism and witchcraft
A hobby that many in our region are addicted to is the believe in fortune tellers and marabouts. Our time, energy and income is wasted due to our consultations of devil worshippers con holy men drape in saintly dress. These men have been deceiving our people for a very long time now. Their trade is one, i mean fortune tellers, marabouts (evil ones), witch doctors, and the astrologers (star sign). They have one thing in common, which is the desire to enrich themselves at the expense of poor gullible masses who hope for redemption from sinful and secretive corrupt men.
What is the knowledge or skills possessed by these devil Marabouts in general?
There has been few researches conducted in the affairs of marabouts, fortune tellers, astrologers, witchcraft and other magicians. The findings are heart rendering and sad. The people we once believe to be God-fearing and righteous are nothing but secret devil worshippers mixing open Islamic rituals with secret cultic rituals. This men pray with us in mosques, churches and other respectable places, yet they only do that for the show.
When men and women don’t fear God has he should be feared, they start to fear other than God. Whether this is the fear of powerful people, the devil, evil men/women and our fear of many other things. The sub-conscious mind kept reminding us to do something about our fears; this is where the marabouts, fortune tellers, astrologer, and magicians become useful. Superstition is a grave sin and weakness.
Marabouts and magicians has what is refer to as harmful knowledge. This is magic, sorcery, witchcraft and in contact with devils. The racist Satan who hates humans did his best to bewitch our ancestor Adam, from when the devil was banished from grace; he has declared war on us.
Our Ancestor Adam and his earlier offspring knew the tricks of the devil after he has deceived him and Hawa out of paradise. Adam warn his children against obeying the temptations of the devil, and some scholars stated that for a thousand years, the devil’s plot proof futile against Adam and his children. But then the devil device new tricks and methods to get at us. Our quest to know the unseen and have everything perfect drive us into doing things forbidin to us by God the one and only.
The wishes of Satan is to take with him as many humans into hell as possible. He must then have accomplishes among men who will work for him at a price. His recruits have being serving him ever since man starts to obey his commands.
The worship of one God, without associating partners with him in worship and attribute. This is monotheism. But then the opposite is what many men are doing; polytheism. This is associating partners with god, either in worship or attributes. For Muslims, this is going outside Islam. It is call shirk. The greatest sin man can ever commit. The Quran states that “shirk is a sin which is major”.
The marabouts explain.
The word is a Muslim term use mainly in the west African region. The word denotes an educated Muslim scholar with high social standing. Their position became so important, they act has educators, peace makers, community leaders, trustees, and finally the over bearing role of problem solvers (marital, job, illness and many other delicate social issues).
The marabout traditionally studies the Quran. But in the traditional sense, no one ascertain the level of scholarship of these men. One goes through years of study in a very incoherent way, and in your maturity, your master or teachers release you away. Sometimes this is through a ceremony. In the mandingo and Jahanka societies, one may graduate as a Foday or just refer to as Afan.
The teachers themselves are privy to what they call secretive knowledge (kulo or dalilo). This is sometimes mystified as the inner meanings or higher meanings of the Quran. But that is where the deception lies. The Quran is a reveal book that can be read by all and sundry. There is nothing secretive about it. Yes, scholars have better interpretation and meanings of verses of the Quran and the reasons for the revelation of a certain verses. This knowledge’s can be attain in many universities across the globe.
Before dwelling too much into the affairs of the marabouts or sereigns, it is important to distinguish the marabouts. There are some who may not be into devil worship but on purely strict Islamic faith. But the seekers of wealth through the art of marabout skills alone is mostly involving jinn’s.
How those the relationship works?
The sorcerer, marabout, magician are like the call centres. They communicate with devils or spirit world in ways that only they know how. These men agree a contract with jinn’s or devils. The devils give certain task or duties to them. The magician or marabouts are given certain control over men. The sources of this knowledge is said to be from the book buried by king Solomon containing the names of jinn’s and how to overpower them. This book is in the hand of both marabouts, magicians, sorcerers and other devil worshippers. But many doubt this claim of there ever being a book buried by king Solomon.
What is apparent and important for us to know is that magic is knowledge that can be learn. Treating magic with magic is haram or forbidin since both involve communicating with the devil.
One can go to the mosque, line his house with Islamic book and has one of the longest counting bits but still communicate with devils and follow their orders.
This sorcerers challenge God. They commit over the top sinful acts just to please the devil. This is done by urinating on the holy book, writing verses in impurities, writing verses backward, etc. Whatever will anger God is what the devil wants. After this and many other evil tasks are done, the marabout now has his secret power that is his devil contact.
Marabouts are seen praying with others in mosque, fast in ramadam and do good things in the open, but this acts are just a blinder. They pray without the usual abulution or in a state of impurity.
The sad thing is, this marabouts, magicians, sorcerers themselves are at risk due to their relationship with the devils. The relationship is base on hate.
What is the main purpose of the marabouts, sorcerers, magicians? To gain wealth from people who seek their help. The attainment of wealth drove them to commit the most sinful thing ever, that is associating partners with God (shirk).
There are whole family set surrounding the marabouts. And the descendants see themselves with prestige and status. They assume hereditary position by handing over the secret from person to person within the family.
The simple way to know one is involve with the jinn is as follows. When you go them for consultation, they ask you the following question:
You name
Your mother’s name
If the task is to inflict someone with magic or effect of the marabourism, they request the name of the person to whom the marabouts magic is to be perform. Many would be confuse as to my use of magic, the marabout practice their own style of magic unbeknown to people. Magic is not just fast hand or tricks.
They will frequently ask you to sacrifice animals on certain days. These sacrifices are for their devils.
On certain occasions depending on the task, the customer is asked to do strange things. Bring along human hair, sweat, blood, anything of personal importance to the targeted person.
The work they carry out using the Quran is combine with other strange writings. They use numbers extensively, this is anagrams ot katim ot katimo in local languages. This is mastering numbers negatively and combined with incantation unislamic.
There is a whole industry base of the cult of marabourism. They device methods to encapsulate the masses. The organise Gamos (religious gatherings), festivals (commemorating the deaths of saints). They have links across borders and has what is refer to has talibes (students) in localities.
The marabouts has a history, some very glorious. The founding fathers of some clans are God-fearing and upright, that has to be noted but later generation tend to be greedy and materialistic. The demands of customers also has increase. This high expectation comes with it the need to proof oneself. And this sadly cannot be attain without the involvement of Jinns.
The difference between the Jinn worshippers.
Magicians.
They are divided into two categories by experts. Those who practice tricks. This people practiced their trade hard and are very careful in the extend they go in entertaining viewers. They usually specialise in cards and fast hands. They are the least into the devil world.
The real magicians are those who go the extra mile by. They do things unusual and strange. They can make things disappear, they hypnotises audiences easily. They perform rituals before performing magic. This people are all over the place, in Asia, Africa, Europe, America. Everywhere. They can do things for people but mostly they do performances. In Africa we refer to them as witch doctors or voodoo art masters. They advice people to do rituals must often than not involving red animals and horns.
This people can hold snakes, cut themselves, make money appear out of nowhere etc.
to be continued.
