Black Magic (Sihr), also known as sorcery or witchcraft, has a complex history in Islam. In Islamic tradition, black magic is seen as a forbidden and sinful practice. It is believed to involve the invocation of evil spirits or supernatural forces like jinn race (demon) to cause harm to others. The Holy Quran explicitly prohibits engaging in black magic and warns against its dangers. Throughout Islamic history, there have been cases of individuals practicing black magic (sihr), often for personal gain or to harm others. These practitioners are considered deviant and are condemned by mainstream Islamic scholars and communities.
Islamic scholars have written extensively on the topic, emphasizing the importance of seeking protection from black magic through prayer, recitation of specific Quranic verses, and maintaining a strong connection with Allah SWT (God). Islamic teachings encourage believers to rely on faith, trust in Allah SWT protection, and seek refuge in His guidance to guard against the influence of black magic. In Islamic belief, there is a connection between black magic and the jinn race. The jinn race are supernatural beings created by Allah SWT (God) and are mentioned in The Holy Quran. They possess free will and can choose to follow either good or evil. Some individuals who practice black magic may seek assistance from the jinn in order to carry out their harmful intentions.
