In Islam, black magic (sihr) is a reality acknowledge in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It is considered an evil act that seeks to harm individuals by invoking the assistance of jinn and other malevolent forces. However, the Qur’an and Sunnah also provide guidance on seeking protection and healing from such harm through the power of Dua to get rid of black magic (supplication) and other prescribed remedies.
Understanding Black Magic in Islam
Black magic is prohibited in Islam and is considered a grave sin. The Qur’an mentions the practice of magic in Surah Al-Baqarah:
“And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic…” (Surah Al-Baqarah: 2:102)
While black magic can cause fear, physical harm, or emotional distress, a strong connection to Allah and adherence to Islamic teachings provide complete protection against its effects.
Signs of Black Magic
Some common signs of black magic include:
- Sudden and unexplained illnesses.
- Persistent nightmares or sleep disturbances.
- Inexplicable fear or anxiety.
- Fractured relationships and unusual discord among family members.
- Losses or blockages in life without logical reasons.
If you suspect the influence of black magic, it is essential to address it through ruqyah (Islamic healing) and dua.
