I store my kitaabs in the following order. Is it correct?

Q: Below are the Kitaabs that I make common use of. The list below is in the order in which I store them - one on top of the other.

Mufti Saheb, please advise if the order is fine owing to their respective importance.

From top to bottom:

  1. Surah Ya-Sin Kitaab.
  2. First five para’s of the Qur’an Shareef.
  3. “Essential Duas In The Life Of A Muslim.”
  4. “Duas for the contentment of the heart.”
  5. “Taleemul Haq”

The book Shamsul maarif

Q: I saw a video on youtube when searching for info about the book ''shams ul maarif''. I think the person in the video claims that he is moving bottles with the help of the instructions from the book of shams ul maarif with a jinn? What do the ulama say about this book? I saw that there is a fatwa of Shaykh Ibn Jibrin about this book.
