Sihr is an Arabic term that refers to black magic or witchcraft. It is mentioned in the Quran and is considered a sin in Islam.
Sihr is of mainly two types:
- Magic of Delusion: One that is used for creating delusion.
- Magic of causing harm: Other is used to cause harm.
Magic of Delusion:
According to Sharie’ah, the meaning of sihr is what the magicians do to delude and confuse people, so that the one who is watching thinks that it is real when in fact it is not. As Allah said concerning the magicians of Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning):
“They said: ‘O Musa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’ Musa said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks, by their magic , appeared to him as though they moved fast. So Musa conceived fear in himself. We (Allah) said: ‘Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand. And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician’s trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill) he may attain.’” [Ta-Ha 20:65-69]
Magic of causing Harm:
Sihr is used to cause harm to others by invoking evil spirits or jinn. It is also used for personal gain or to control others.
The evils that come at the hands of the magicians or others do not happen because our Lord is ignorant, for He knows all things and nothing at all is hidden from Him, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of everything.” [al-Anfal 8:75]
“that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allâh surrounds all things in (His) Knowledge.” [al-Talaq 65:12]
Jinn (singular jinni; also spelled djinni or genie) are invisible spiritual beings, who was created by Allah.
They have extraordinary abilities compare to human beings: made from smokeless fire, They can change shapes, travel fast, can possess body, control mind etc.
