Black magic effect technology: Understanding the Reality, Risks, and Remedies of Magic in Islamic Teachings

This research paper explores the concept of Sihr (magic or sorcery) within the framework of Islamic theology, drawing extensively from the Qur’an, Sunnah, and classical as well as contemporary scholarly sources. It examines the reality and prohibition of Sihr, its perceived spiritual, psychological, and social effects, and the Islamic methods for protection and healing, primarily focusing on Ruqyah Shar’iyyah—the divinely sanctioned spiritual remedy.

The study addresses the theological significance of Sihr, highlights the stories of Harut and Marut, Pharaoh’s magicians, and outlines the role of devils in facilitating magic as described in the Qur’an. It carefully distinguishes lawful spiritual practices from forbidden magical acts, emphasizing the importance of tawhid (monotheism) and sincere faith in divine protection.

Contemporary challenges, including superstitions, cultural practices, mental health considerations, and the rise of fraudulent spiritual healers, are discussed. The paper advocates for community education, collaboration with mental health professionals, and adherence to authentic Islamic teachings to safeguard individuals and societies from spiritual harm.

This comprehensive study contributes to Islamic scholarship and offers valuable insights for theologians, counselors, mental health practitioners, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and spiritual healing.
