How sound are the Seven Solomonic Pacts?
There is no truth to what is known as the "Seven Solomonic Pacts (or Covenants)". They are mere superstitions and fabrications, and a propagation of lies against the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him. The book "Al-Rahma fi al-Tibb wal-Hikma" (Mercy in Medicine and Wisdom) claims that Al-Taba'ah (a female jinn or demon), described as an old hag, gave these pacts to Solomon after he tortured her, and she promised not to approach anyone who carried them. This claim is not understandable by any rational person, as the sole Disposer of the universe is Allah alone. These pacts are full of polytheism () and seeking help from other than Allah, and they contain talismans. The book "Al-Rahma fi al-Tibb wal-Hikma" contains many acts of disbelief and superstitions, and it has been falsely attributed to Imam Al-Suyuti.
