What is the ruling on reciting "Bismillah Karir," and is its meaning, "God of everything," correct? Is it permissible to recite it a specific number of times to attain a desired outcome?
The names of Allah are Tawqifi (divinely ordained), meaning He cannot be named or described except by what He has named Himself or what His Messenger (peace be upon him) has named Him. The name "Kareer" was invented by a group of innovators who are deeply involved in magic and sorcery. They claimed it is one of Allah's special names used in magic and sorcery. The Barhatiah names have been shown to be an incantation relied upon in magic for summoning angels and jinn, and among them is the name "Kareer." They allege that whoever persistently recites it will meet jinn, and this is clear misguidance. The book Manba’ Usul al-Hikmah contains magic and misguidance, and its author is among the deviant Sufis, so one must be wary of it.
