What is the Islamic way to counter Sihr (magic)?

Question

I suspect somebody has cast evil spill on my son and his wife. Although they married out of their own willingness, their marriage is in tatters 1 year into their marriage. My son apparently didn't have sex with her for months and treated her very badly. She says she no longer loves him and doesn't want to see his face. Our family is close to collapse, is there an Islamic way to find out if sihr is involved? And how can I find a Muslim scholar to help us. I just don't want to get involved with people involved in satanic rituals who work under the guise of Islamic scholars.

Please help my family.

Answer 1

First of all, let’s pay heed to the verse 102 Surah al-Baqara which indicates that Sihr (magic) could be a cause of separation between a man and his wife.

وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ ۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ ۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ ۖ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ ۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَارِّينَ بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ ۚ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا لَمَنِ اشْتَرَاهُ مَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْا بِهِ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٠٢

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 and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew. (102) (Al-Baqara: 102)

We cannot deny the mentioned issue accordingly. But people ought to pay heed that we cannot always attribute it to the magic, since there could be many other natural items and problems in daily life which are related to that. Of course, I didn’t precisely find if “there is an Islamic way to find out if Sihr is involved?”, however I can term some solution in order to removing its magic (if their problems are really related to the magic). E.g.

• Giving charity

• Reciting the following dua: اعوذ بالله من الشیطان الرجیم

• Reciting the following Surahs: al-Falaq, a-Naas. (many times)

• Recting the fowling verses: Al-Qalam:51,52 and Ayatul-Korsi

• It is quoted that Imam Ali (pbuh) said: write and carry the following dua with yourselves (Souce: the book of “Mafatih al Janan, Haj Sheikh Abbas Qomi” بِسمِ الله وَ بِالله، بِسمِ الله وَ ما شاءَالله، بِسم الله لاحَولَ ولاقُوّه الا بالله، قالَ موسی ما جِئتُم بِه السِّحرُ اِنَّ اللهَ سَیُبطِلُهُ اِنَّ اللهَ لا یُصلِحُ عَملَ المُفسِدینَ، فَوَقَعَ الحَقُّ و بَطَلَ ما كانُوا یَعمَلونَ فَغُلِبوا هُنالِكَ وَانقَلَبُوا صاغِرینَ

Accordingly, the above-mentioned items consist of some Islamic way to counter Sihr (magic) which hopefully and God willing be helpful for you.

Answer 2

These kind of questions are really common in the Muslim community. So let's start with the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

We are told in the Qur'an that Prophet Ibraheem, alayhis salam, said, "And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me." [26:80]

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said: "There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it cures it with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious." (Muslim) Also, the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, said,

"Make use of the two remedies: honey and the Qur'an." (Tirmithi)

The use of spiritual forms of healing, such as payers and meditation have become quite popular. This is in part a result of a resurgence in religion and so-called "New Age" beliefs. Major medical centers and health care institutions are even studying the effects of salah on healing. For Islamic purposes, the use of specialized prayers (duaa) or Qur'anic verses are known as ruqyah. The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, and his companions used this method of healing, as evidenced by many ahadeeth in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and others. Muslims are advised to provide ruqiyah for Muslims and even non-Muslims that are sick. The sick are also able to provide ruqiyah for themselves. Ruqyah is a valuable tool for treating a variety of disorders and diseases. This may include snake or scorpion bite, the evil eye (or envy), and psychological problems that Jinn may cause. Bukhari has also reported that Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas (surahs 113 and 114) are also protections against illness and evil. One hadeeth has reported that the Prophet would recite mu'awwidhat (Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas). He would then blow his breath into his hands and rub his hands over his body, hoping for its blessings. Tirmithi has reported that the Prophet used to seek protection against jinn and the evil eye until Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas were revealed. After they were revealed, he held to them and discarded everything beside them.

There are those who believe wearing charms with certain surahs or verses on them are a protection. Others believe that placing these charms on infants will protect them from Jinn and the evil eye or believe that having decorative wall-hangings with Qur'an is a protection. Some may write these verses or surahs on a piece of paper. They then dip the paper into a glass of water and drink the water. These actions are not the prescribed actions by the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, and may come close to shirk. Allah and His Messenger have given us directions for using prayer 'whether duaa or ruqyah' and the Qur'an for healing. We must accept these directions and use them accurately while trusting in Allah's Will and Might.

Answer 3

Okay I have some experience in this as I am a victim of black magic and do ruqyah. The way you find out if someone is afflicted by black magic is usually by seeing if recitation of Quran or listining to Adhan or doing other acts of worship affects these people.

The reaction to these acts of worship depend on the jinn. A strong jinn will be more resistant. My jinn did nothing when I use to:

1)prayer 6 times a day (6th prayer being 1-2 hour in night)

2)spend 25min a day memberising Quran

3)listen to surah Baqara everyday.

But when I increased my worship to:

1)prayer 6 times a day (6th prayer being 4hr-all night)

2)spend 2hr a day memberising Quran

3)recite surah yasin everyday in salat and everynight.

Then my jinn showed a reaction. There are case where a person can be possessed for year with jinn and does not know it until he/she starts increasing in acts of worship such as nafl salat.

What I feel is the best way is that you undergo an intence ruqyah programme. This way whether it is a strong jinn or weak jinn it will show up. You can increase your worship but there are certain thing you do in ruqyah that specifically attack jinn in a powerful way, so are more effective getting a reaction.

You ruqyah programme must include

1) Drinking at least 1 litre ruqyah water, with added honey and 7 black seeds. To make ruqyah water leave ~5cm air in water bottle, and recite over top Quran verses. At the end of each verse/passage blow and spittle into the water. Verse that you must include are:

Surah Fatiha x11

2:1-10,

2:102 (to treat black magic) x11,

2:255-256,

2:285-286,

3:18-19,

7:117-119 (to treat black magic) x11,

10:81-82 (to treat black magic) x11,

20:65-69 (to treat black magic) x11,

Surah Yaseen 36 (Optional),

Surah Dukhaan 44 (optional),

55:33-35,

72:1-7,

Any other surahs (optional),

112 x3,

113 x3,

114 x3

Another way to get Quran into water is using sheet with Quran printed on them with edible ink. simple put sheets in a big bowl of water and allow the ink to run off. You can buy the whole Quran on only 8 sheets and this would be enough for 80 litre of water.

2)cover entire body with ruqyah oil before sleeping and bathing. Ruqyah oil is made the same way as ruqyah water.

3) A bath with ruqyah water, stay in bath minimum of 30 min, continually pouring water over yourself with pot/jug. You only need to take 2 litre of ruqyah water you made and add it to a full bath. (add 7 sidr leaves and hand full of sea salt to this water)

4) read surah Baqara every day.

5) do morning and evening supplications, praising an glorification of Allah.

6) Must offer 5 daily prayer in mosque

7) read tahajjid.

8) recite at least a few hour of Quran daily, surahs such as Yasin, Saffat, surah 44, surah 55, surah jinn, surah 7, surah 2, surah 3 or any other surah but the ones mentioned are known to really attack jinn's
