Black Magic

Islamic Perspective on the Spiritual Threat of Black Magic Black magic, also known as dark magic or sorcery, is the use of supernatural powers for evil purposes. It involves calling on occult spiritual forces to cause harm, control other people, or manipulate circumstances for one's own benefit. This practice is common in a lot of different cultures all over the world, and it's often done behind closed doors, making it even more dangerous and terrifying.

According to the Qur'an and Hadith, black magic is a major sin and an act of shirk—associating partners with Allah—that is strictly forbidden. What is black magic exactly? Black magic is the deliberate harming or controlling of other people through the use of incantations, rituals, and spiritual forces, typically involving jinn, spirits, or devils.

Black magic has a variety of goals, including: causing harm or illness for which there is no medical explanation dividing families or couples (like sihr al-tafriq) A person's thoughts, feelings, or actions can be controlled. causing disorientation, hostility, or despair preventing success in business or employment opportunities Black magic is frequently carried out with the victim's hair, nails, clothes, or even photographs.

The magician, also known as a sahir, may use specific chants and rituals to entice jinn to do their dirty work. Background in History Modern black magic is not a phenomenon. Ancient civilizations like Egypt, Babylon, India, and parts of Africa are where it got its start. Black magic was used by sorcerers, witch doctors, and priests for both personal gain and political power, according to historical records.

Allah says in the Qur'an that during the time of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon, peace be upon him), some people spread lies by saying he used magic. But Allah made it clear: They followed what the devils erroneously referred to as the Sulaiman kingdom. However, Sulaiman did not disbelieve; the devils taught people magic and disbelieved.

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 102 This verse demonstrates that magic is completely anti-Islamic and was taught by devils rather than prophets. Islam's Perspective on Magic (Sihr) If one believes that it can override Allah's will, sihr () is not only a sin in Islam but also a form of disbelief (kufr). A serious crime is committed by those who practice it or seek assistance from a magician.

The Prophet Muhammad strongly discouraged and emphasized the severity of all forms of magic: "Avoid the seven deadly sins..." He said, "Practicing magic" was one of them. — Muslim and Sahih Bukhari Scholars have unanimously agreed that if a person relies on jinn rather than Allah, they will be expelled from Islam if they learn or practice black magic.

Real-World Examples of the Effects of Sihr Islamic scholars and spiritual healers (Raqi) frequently use patterns that cannot be explained to identify black magic, despite the fact that some symptoms may be similar to those of medical conditions. Typical symptoms include: a sudden hatred between spouses or members of the family Being alone and hearing voices or whispers Nightmares that come back, sleep paralysis, or insomnia experiencing hallucinations or spooky visions physical problems that doctors can't figure out Anxiety, sudden weight loss, or depression extreme forgetfulness, haziness, or focuslessness Islamic ruqyah (spiritual healing) is the only method that can be used in such situations instead of a different magician or healer who uses practices that are against Islam.

How to Avoid Being Fooled by Others Islam provides potent spiritual safeguards against black magic: Daily Recitation of the Qur'an Surah Al-Falaq and An-Naas, the Qur'anic last two chapters (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255) Ayat al-Kursi Complete Surah Al-Baqarah on a regular basis at home (the Hadith states that shayateen avoid it). Adhkar in the Morning and Evening Recite daily duas for protection, especially before going to bed and when you wake up (from Hisnul Muslim or authentic collections). The traditional Salah One remains in constant contact with Allah's protection by praying the five times a day sincere.

Avoiding Sinful Settings Those who distance themselves from deen frequently suffer magical harm. Your spiritual defenses are weakened by sin. Ruqyah, which is spiritual healing Ruqyah is the practice of reciting verses from the Qur'an and making prayers with the intention of overcoming black magic, the evil eye, or jinn possession. Is it possible to reverse black magic? Yes, but only by adhering to halal practices. It is haram to visit magicians, fortune tellers, or perform countermagic, and doing so makes the situation even worse.

Allah is the only one who can heal. If you think you are a sihr victim: Do not go to a healer who asks for strange things or makes strange demands if you want ruqyah from a reputable healer based on the Qur'an. Sincere repent to Allah. Learn, pray, and give to others to build your imaan. Important warning: Don't try anything new. Black magic can be used by some curious individuals "just to see if it works." It is dangerous and haram to even dabble in it, use Ouija boards, watch rituals, or repeat unknown incantations from the internet.

As the Prophet stated: "Whoever goes to a fortune teller and believes what he says is disbelieving in what Muhammad was revealed to." — Abubakar Dawood Conclusion: Put all your faith in Allah Black magic is real, but Allah's protection is just as dark and dangerous. Faith, prayer, and the Qur'an—not fear or superstition—are the foundations of Islam. There is no magic that can harm you if you believe in Allah's power. As stated in the Qur'an: "And through it, they do no harm to anyone except with Allah's permission." Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 102 Keep in touch with your deen and always keep in mind: Allah's power is greater than any evil.
