Assalamualaikum
unfortunately, it has become common practice to send and forward such text messages as follows:
please recite, pray or perform the following.... etc. and good will come your way. Please pass on to 7 people, remember Allah Subhaanuhuwata'aala is watching you.
and unfortunately, sometimes...
please do the following... if you choose to ignor this message you will receive bad luck.
Many times stating that such and such a person did not do the action, and sufferred fatal death, accident or loss in wealth.
PLEASE NOTE:
As Muslims it is COMPULSORY for us to believe that all good and bad only comes from Allah Subhaanuhuwata'aala, and to believe contrary to this, a person is removing themselves from the fold of Imaan.
NEXT TIME SUCH TEXT MESSAGES ARE RECEIVED PLEASE IMEDIATELY DELETE THEM AND DO NOT FORWARD!
