🌍Allah is the sole Lord and Ruler of the physical world.  ‘Lord’ means He is the Creator and controls all affairs in the universe; the Kingdom of the heaven and the earth belongs exclusively to Him, and He owns them.  He alone brought existence out of non-existence and it depends on Him for its conservation and continuance.  His power is required at every moment to sustain all creatures.  Angels, prophets, human beings, and the animal and plant kingdoms are under His control.  Only Allah knows what the future holds.  Good luck and bad fortune are from Allah alone.

🌍Faith
A group came to the Messenger of Allah to pledge their allegiance to him.  He accepted the allegiance of nine of them.  They said, “O Messenger of Allah, you accepted the allegiance of nine but not of this one.”
The Prophet said,

“He is wearing an amulet.”

The man put his hand in his shirt and took it off, then the Prophet accepted his allegiance, saying,

‘Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk.” (Ahmad)

🌐 Sahabi Hudhayfah, one of the companions of the Prophet, visited a sick man, and seeing a bracelet on the man’s upper arm,  he pulled it off and broke it, then recited the verse,

“Most of them who believe in Allah, commit shirk.” (Quran 12:106)[4]

The man told Hudhayfah that it contained a spell specially made for him, so Hudhayfah tore if off and said, ‘If you had died with it on, I would never have prayed over your funeral.’

🌐Ibn Mas’ood said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say,‘Spells (ruqyah), amulets and love-charms are shirk.”

Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk.” (Ahmad)

Most of them who believe in Allah, commit shirk.” (Quran 12:106)[4]
