Black magic (sihr) is a serious spiritual issue that has affected people across generations and cultures. In Islam, we believe that the Quran provides divine guidance and protection against every kind of harm, including unseen spiritual dangers. Among the most powerful remedies is Quranic healing, specifically through Ruqyah Shariah—a set of authentic, prophetic supplications and recitations used to protect and heal the soul.
In this blog, we explore how Quranic healing can be used to remove black magic and protect one’s spiritual and emotional well-being.
What is Black Magic in Islam?
Black magic (سحر) refers to the use of supernatural forces—often involving jinn and forbidden rituals—to harm or manipulate others. Islam clearly condemns the use and practice of magic and offers ways to protect oneself through the Quran and Sunnah.
Allah says in the Quran:
> “And from the evil of those who blow on knots”
(Surah Al-Falaq: 4)
This verse refers to a common black magic technique used in ancient times. The Quran not only warns us about such evils but also provides the cure.
Symptoms of Black Magic
Some common signs of black magic include:
Constant fatigue or laziness with no medical reason
Sudden hatred between spouses or family members
Frequent nightmares and disturbed sleep
Sudden physical pain without diagnosis
Feeling watched or fearful for no reason
Sudden financial or business losses
If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms, seeking spiritual healing through Ruqyah may be beneficial.
Quranic Verses for Black Magic Removal
Certain Quranic verses are known for their powerful healing and protective effects. These include:
Surah Al-Fatiha (1:1–7) – Called the "Opening of Healing"
Ayat al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah: 255) – Offers strong protection against evil
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:102) – Refers directly to magic and its dangers
Surah Al-Falaq (113) & Surah An-Naas (114) – Seek protection from all evil forces
Daily recitation of these verses, combined with sincere belief and reliance on Allah, helps cleanse the body and soul.
Ruqyah Shariah: The Sunnah Method of Healing
Ruqyah Shariah is a method of reciting specific Quranic verses and du'as as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It involves:
Reading verses over oneself or water/oil (used for drinking or applying)
Using zamzam water, olive oil, or black seed oil during healing
Making sincere du’a for protection and relief
Remaining firm in tawheed (belief in Allah alone)
The Prophet ﷺ said:
> “Make Ruqyah for yourselves, for no one can make Ruqyah for you better than you.”
(Muslim)
Important Guidelines
Avoid seeking help from magicians or spiritualists who engage in shirk (associating partners with Allah).
Trust in Allah alone for healing.
Be consistent in prayer (salah), dhikr, and recitation of the Quran.
Maintain physical and spiritual cleanliness.
Surround yourself with righteous company.
Conclusion
Black magic is a test, but it is not greater than Allah’s mercy and power. Through Quranic healing and authentic Islamic practices, you can find relief, protection, and spiritual strength. If you or someone you know is suffering from black magic or spiritual attacks, turn to the Quran—it is a light, a cure, and a mercy for the believers.
> “And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers...”
(Surah Al-Isra: 82)
