Black magic (Sihr) is a dark and harmful act that aims to separate, harm, or control others through evil spiritual means. It affects people emotionally, physically, and spiritually — often without clear medical explanation.
However, Islam provides complete spiritual guidance and healing for every form of harm. The Qur’an is not only a book of guidance but also a source of shifa (healing). Allah says:
> “And We send down of the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers.”
(Surah Al-Isra, 17:82)
Let’s explore how to treat black magic spiritually, using the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah.
1. Strengthen Faith and Tawakkul (Trust in Allah)
The first step to spiritual healing is to renew your connection with Allah. Believe that only Allah can harm or heal, and no magic or magician has power over His will.
When you place full trust in Allah, fear and anxiety begin to fade. Recite daily:
> Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa, ‘alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azeem
(Surah At-Tawbah, 9:129)
This powerful verse brings peace and protection from all forms of evil.
2. Perform Regular Ruqyah Shariah
Ruqyah Shariah is the most effective spiritual treatment for black magic. It involves reciting specific Qur’anic verses and authentic duas for healing.
Recommended Verses for Ruqyah:
Surah Al-Fatiha
Surah Al-Baqarah (especially Ayat al-Kursi 2:255 and verses 1–5, 102–103, 284–286)
Surah Yunus (10:81–82)
Surah Ta-Ha (20:68–70)
Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:115–118)
Surah As-Saffat (37:1–10)
Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Naas
Recite these daily over yourself or someone affected, blow on your hands, and wipe over your body. You may also listen to authentic Ruqyah audio for continuous healing.
3. Maintain Purity and Perform Salah Regularly
The Prophet ﷺ taught that purity and Salah are the foundations of protection. Always remain in wudu (ablution), as it shields you from negative forces.
Perform all five daily prayers with sincerity, and spend time in dhikr (remembrance of Allah) after Salah.
When a person is spiritually clean and constant in prayer, black magic cannot easily affect them.
4. Increase Dhikr and Morning–Evening Adhkar
Morning and evening remembrances are like a spiritual armor that protects against unseen harm.
Recite daily:
Bismillahilladhi la yadurru ma’asmihi shay’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i wa Huwa as-Sami’ul-‘Aleem (3×)
A’udhu bi kalimatillahi-t-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (3× at evening)
Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Naas (3× each)
This practice drives away evil jinn and nullifies the effects of magic.
5. Use Ruqyah Water and Olive Oil
A common and beneficial method of treatment involves using Ruqyah-recited water and olive oil.
Method:
1. Recite Ruqyah verses over clean water and olive oil.
2. Drink some water and bathe with the rest.
3. Massage the body with olive oil before sleeping.
This helps remove spiritual blockages and purifies the body from the effects of sihr.
6. Keep Your Home Spiritually Clean
The environment you live in plays a big role in healing. Make your home a place of no sin and constant dhikr.
Recite Surah Al-Baqarah regularly in your house; the Prophet ﷺ said it expels shayateen.
Remove all music, idols, and images of living beings.
Play Ruqyah audio in your home daily.
Burn pleasant itr or use oud to refresh the environment.
When a home is filled with Qur’an and remembrance, evil cannot stay there.
7. Give Sadaqah and Do Good Deeds
Charity (sadaqah) has immense spiritual power. It erases sins and removes calamities, including those caused by black magic.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
> “Give charity, for it removes calamity and prevents evil.” (Al-Bayhaqi)
Help others, feed the poor, and make dua that Allah removes your suffering in return for your kindness.
8. Seek Forgiveness and Repentance (Tawbah)
Sometimes, spiritual blockages are caused by our own sins. Repent sincerely, ask Allah for forgiveness, and stay away from haram activities.
When you cleanse your soul, the effects of black magic begin to weaken and eventually disappear.
9. Stay Close to the Qur’an and Sunnah
Reciting the Qur’an daily and following the Sunnah lifestyle strengthens your spiritual shield.
Make it a habit to:
Begin every task with Bismillah.
Keep faith strong even during tests.
Surround yourself with righteous company.
Consistency in these practices ensures lasting protection from sihr and evil influences.
Conclusion
Black magic may bring darkness, but the light of the Qur’an can remove it completely. True healing comes from Allah alone — through patience, remembrance, and faith.
By practicing Ruqyah Shariah, reciting protection verses, and living a pure, spiritual life, a believer can overcome any harm caused by black magic.
> “Indeed, Allah will protect those who believe.”
(Surah Al-Hajj, 22:38)
