Kinds of Magic
Sihr Al-Mahabba / At-Tiwala (Magic for Love)
How is it done?
Arguments between man and wife often happen and are resolved within short times, and everything is back to normal again. However, a woman who cannot show patience would immediately go to a sahir/witch and ask him to work out a sihr/witchcraft which would let her be very much loved by her husband. This may be due to a defect in her faith, or to her ignorance of the fact that it is unlawful.
The Witch may also prepare some water or food/powder with blowing polytheistic incantations over it, and giving it to the woman to add those into her husband’s meal/drink. He may also blow onto a perfume which the victim may put on.
Today, the witches may simply ask for a Photo, and the victim’s mother’s name, in order to work out this practice. Bear in mind, it is not only used to get a Husband to fall in love for the wife, but most of the times it is used to get another woman in love with oneself. It is unlawful and haraam.
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Ar-ruqaa, at-tamaa’im and at-tiwala are acts of polytheism.”
Refer, Imam Ahmad (1/381), Al-Haakim (4/418).
According to Ibn al-Atheer,
‘At-tiwala is a type of Magic which makes a man love his wife. The reason why this type of Ritual is classed by the Prophet (pbuh) as an act of polytheism is because those who have it done for them believe that it has an effect and does the opposite of what Allah has prescribed.’
Refer, An-Nihaaya (1/200)
The above ruqya is considered haram and we call it Sihr because it involves the assistance of Jinn and demons, and consists of acts of polytheism. However, the Ruqya which is based on the Quran and lawful supplications of Allah is lawful. It is when the Prophet (pbuh) said:
“There is no harm in using Ruqya as a means of treatment provided it DOES NOT consist of anything Polytheistic.”
Symptoms of Sihr of Love
Excessive love and passion
Extreme desire to have sexual intercourse
Extreme lust at the sight of one’s wife
Extreme obedience to one’s wife
Sihr at-Tafreeq (Magic for Seperation)
Quran in Surah Baqara:
“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 learnt 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.” (al-Baqara: 102)
Jabir reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Iblees would lay his throne on water and would send his brigade of demons. The lowest among them in rank is the one who is most notorious in stirring up Fitna(seduce, tempt, or lure). One of the demons would, after a mission, come and say to Iblees, ‘I have done so and so.’ Iblees would reply, ‘You have not done anything.’ Another one would come and say, ‘I have not left such and such person until I separated him from his wife.’ Iblees would come close to his demon and say, ‘How good you are’”
Refer, Muslim in An-Nawawee (17/157)
How is it done?
This type of witchcraft may affect relationships other than the relation between a husband and wife. It may separate a person from his/her:
Mother – Father – Brother – Friend,
Yet Separating a person from his/her spouse is the most dangerous because, Friends can become friends later on in life again, so may any other relation; But, separating a person from his/her spouse causes a huge conflict between two FAMILIES, not just two persons, and a lifetime hatred. That is why Satan/Iblees is pleased with the demon that causes it.
It is done in a way that a person goes to a sahir/witch and requests that a certain person be separated from his wife. The Witch would ask for the name of the victim and also the victim’s mother’s name, and also traces of the victim’s smell, things that have been in contact with the skin/sweat of the victim – like the victim’s hair, garment, clothes, handkerchief etc. If that is too difficult to obtain, the witch would perform Sihr/bewitch some water, then ask the client to spill it along the way which that person normally uses. If the victim crosses that place of water, knowing his name and mother’s name, he would be affected by Sihr/witchcraft. The client may even use that bewitched water/food to be added to the victim’s food/drink. If the Sahir uses the threads/pieces of clothes/garment of the victim in producing an object that has knots tied around it, he may tell the client to bury it in a desolate place where no one can open it, for that will release the jinn and unbound it from that specific purpose.
Today, the Sahir often ask for a Photo and the mother’s name of the victim, in order for this act to complete.
Symptoms
A sudden change in attitude from love to hate
A great deal of suspicion is aroused between the two victims
No excuses are accepted and there is always a conflict in arguments between the two.
The person affect by sihr hates anything the other party does. He tries to stay away from where the other party stays. Like a husband may be in good mood when he is outside home, but feel depressed when at home with his wife.
According to Ibn-Khatir,
“The cause of separation between two spouses through this sihr is that each of them appears to the other as an ugly and ill-mannered person.”
Refer, Tafseer Ibn-Khatir (1/144)
Sihr at-Takhyeel (Magic of Illusions)
It is categorized into two types:
1 – Displaying tricks but with the help of Jinn.
2 – Bewitching the eyes of the crowd to make them see things other than reality.
“He [Musa (Moses)] said: ‘Throw you (first)(staves)’. So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great magic. And We inspired to Moses, ‘Throw your staff,’ and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.” [Al-A’raaf: 16-17]
We often notice magician/s displaying the art of magic/witchcraft at places like Gatherings in Villages and Markets. They call them tricks when in fact most of them are with the help of the Jinn. They do, however, display simple tricks in order to keep the people from considering them as Witch/es, when in fact their work has a lot to do with Jinn. The above rope trick is a good example.
Today, we see David Blaine and other magicians, who would sometimes perform tricks that cannot be explained through any natural cause. Yet, they also perform simple tricks that are easy to figure out. The reason why they perform simple tricks is because they don’t want the viewers to delve deep into the mysteries of their oddest tricks. Because once a person knows how magic is performed with the help of Jinn, they would start to question the magician and that would cause more people to believe in the supernatural, and eventually, demote David Blaine.
However, the 2nd type is defined as the magic that makes things appear in a form other than its original one. If you read about the Types and Categories of Jinn from the contents page, you will notice the type called Si’la and Ghoul. These were the type of jinn which would come in contact with travellers mostly, and they would make the travellers see weird objects in the desert of Egypt, which would vanish soon as they were approached. They are called the Magicians of the Jinn; Magicians who make things appear in forms other than what they really are.
I also mentioned the Hadith on how to protect oneself from the above type of Jinn; one can announce Azaan (call to prayers) in a loud voice, or recite Ayat-ul-Kursi (al-baqara 255).
The Main issue is that, the second category of this type of magic is used within the other types of magic like – magic of love/separation. It makes either of the couple appear ugly/beautiful to the other. It may also be used in Magic of Lunacy, to drive people mad by making them see illusion/s of objects.
Sihr al-Hawaatif (Magic for Hallucinations/Bad Dreams)
Posted by Muhammad Ali on Nov 8, 2010 in Black Magic & Witchcraft | 3 comments
Please keep in mind, it may be the cause of some psychological disorder and might have nothing to do with jinn. However, reciting the verses of Quran will never harm him, but it will instead cure him, if the cause for hallucination/s really are jinn [Demons].
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “If one of you sees a dream that he likes, it is from Allah. He should praise Allah for it and he should relate it to others. If he sees what he dislikes, it is from Satan. He should seek refuge in Allah from it and not mention it to anyone. Thereby, it will not harm him.”
Recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari.
How is it done?
A person goes to a sorcerer/witch and requests that a certain person be bewitched. The Witch would ask for the name of the victim, the victim’s mother’s name, and also traces of the victim’s smell, things that have been in contact with the skin/sweat of the victim – like the victim’s hair, garment, clothes, handkerchief, cut nails etc. If that is too difficult to obtain, the witch would perform Sihr/bewitch some water, then ask the client to spill it along the way which that person normally uses. If the victim crosses that place of water, knowing his name and mother’s name, he would be affected by Sihr/witchcraft. The client may even use that bewitched water/food to be added to the victim’s food/drink.
Once the victim is bewitched, the witch then instructs the appointed jinn to appear to the person both in reality and in his dreams, in the form of savage beasts attacking him; to call him when awake in voices which he recognizes and which he does not; to cause him to suspect people that are close to him and people who are not.
The frequency and strength of the Sihr/Magic may vary, depending upon the strength of the agreement between the jinn and the witch, and also upon the ability of the jinn itself. Symptoms may vary according; they may either be mere whisperings, or may even drive the victim to Lunacy/madness.
Symptoms
Bad dreams / Nightmares
Dreams with people calling him
Dreams with Snakes chasing him and sometimes getting the feeling of being squeezed by one
Hearing familiar voices calling his name with no one around
Sensing whisper/s in his head
These dreams may come to normal people – that too from a Demon/Shaytaan; but that does not mean that he is bewitched for having such dreams. However, if the frequency rises, it may be the work of a Sahir/Witch.
Sihr al-Junoon (Magic for Lunacy)
Please keep in mind, it may be the cause of some psychological disorder and might have nothing to do with jinn. However, reciting the verses of Quran will never harm him, but might work if the cause for Lunacy are jinn [Demons].
How is it done?
A person goes to a sorcerer/witch and requests that a certain person be bewitched. The Witch would ask for the name of the victim, the victim’s mother’s name, and also traces of the victim’s smell, things that have been in contact with the skin/sweat of the victim – like the victim’s hair, garment, clothes, handkerchief, cut nails etc. If that is too difficult to obtain, the witch would perform Sihr/bewitch some water, then ask the client to spill it along the way which that person normally passes by. If the victim crosses that place of water, knowing his name and mother’s name, he would be affected by Sihr/witchcraft. The client may even use that bewitched water/food to be added to the victim’s food/drink.
However, if the witch is provided with clothes/nails, he will use them in forming a CHARM or KEY, to bind a jinn for that specific purpose. He will then tie knots around that charm and tell the client to bury it in a deserted place, a place where no one can find it, or even take it out. For once it’s taken out and opened, the jinn will be freed of that purpose.
But once the jinn takes the trace of the victim, he tries to set into his mind. He takes control of the brain and forces it to malfunction. The jinn would sometimes erase his memory and thoughts, and completely disorient the victim’s behavior.
Symptoms Early symptoms
Obliviousness, Absentminded, Confused speech
Later symptoms –
The patient wishes to go to a graveyard in the middle of nights
He wishes to cut himself and others to see blood. For that reason he would often bite himself
Sihr al-Khumool (Magic for Lethargy)
How is it done?
A person goes to a sorcerer/witch and requests that a certain person be bewitched. The Witch would ask for the name of the victim, the victim’s mother’s name, and also traces of the victim’s smell, things that have been in contact with the skin/sweat of the victim – like the victim’s hair, garment, clothes, handkerchief, cut nails etc. If that is too difficult to obtain, the witch would perform Sihr/bewitch some water, then ask the client to spill it along the way which that person normally passes by. If the victim crosses that place of water, knowing his name and mother’s name, he would be affected by Sihr/witchcraft.

He will then tie knots around that charm and tell the client to bury it in a deserted place, a place where no one can find it, or even take it out. For once it’s taken out and opened; the jinn will be freed of that purpose.
Once the Jinn picks up the trace of the victim, he is instructed by the witch to settle in the victim’s brain and make him want to stay lonely. The symptoms vary, depending upon the strength of the Jinn entrusted with the task.
Symptoms
Constant Silence
Love of Seclusion
Anti-sociability
Absentmindedness
Frequent headaches
Constant lethargy with sleeping sickness
Sihr an-Nazeef (Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding)
Description
An-Nazeef refers to Continuous Menstruation, or Bleeding. This type of witchcraft affects women only. A witch sends a jinn to the targeted woman and is instructed to cause her bleed. To do so, the jinn enters the woman’s body and circulates in her veins and arteries with the blood. Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Verily, Satan (Shaytaan/demons) flows in the human like the flowing of the blood.”
Refer, Al-Bukhari and Muslim (An-Nawaawi, 14/155)
In another hadith recorded by Al-Bukhari; When Hamma bint Jaash asked the Prophet (pbuh) about the issue of prolonged bleeding even after the period of menses, the Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Such bleeding is but one of Satan’s stomping.”
Refer, At-Tirmidi, Al-Bukhari.
Imam Ahmad confirms another report that in fact the Prophet (pbuh) said:
“The bleeding is the result of Satan’s stomping on a VEIN rather than from a normal menses.”
Refer, Imam Ahamd – An-Nasa’i
Both the hadith imply that the continuous bleeding outside its normal period is the effect of a jinn (shaytaan).
Treatment
One should recite the Ruqya from Second Stage of Treatment of Sihr over some Water and advise the patient to wash her body with it for three days. The bleeding should, by Allaah’s Leave, cease.
For ease, one may recite the following over water:
Surah Al-Fatiha
Ayat-ul-kursi
Last three Surahs of Quran
The patient may even drink from this water first, and then add the rest into more water to wash with. Note that the above should be recited in a way that the air from the mouth touches the surface of the water. It may be recited by someone who is in state of Wudhu.
Sihr al-Maraz (Magic for Sickness)
Please keep in mind, it may be the cause of some psychological disorder and might have nothing to do with jinn. However, reciting the verses of Quran will never harm him, but might work if the cause for sickness are jinn [Demons].
Jinn can act like poison within the human body. They can become neurotoxins and block signals to different parts of our body. This can cause various types of sickness with fever. Read symptoms bellow for a generic understanding.

Babylonian Magic
I have been receiving e-mails where people ask the question on ‘why Magic is forbidden? – What is so polytheistic about Magic?’
Well, as we discussed before, in the article – BlackMagic & Witchcraft.
“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 learnt 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.” (al-baqara: 102)
For the knowledge of how Magic was practiced in Babylon, we need to go back in history, as far as we can, and see for what magic comprised of when it first came.
Fortunately, the British Museum holds clay tablets of Magic that seem to belong to the 600 BC of Assyria. For those of you who do not know Assyria – It was after the fall of the Akkadian Empire – 2080 BC, when it split into two separate nations; Assyria in the north, and Babylonia in the south. The clay tablets are inscribed in the Assyrian characters and it seems to have been copied from Babylonia for Ashurbanipal, the king of Assyria in the years 669 – 625 BC. It was excavated from the Royal library. Most of the tablets are found in pieces since we know that the Assyrian Royal Library was destroyed. However, the main content of these tablets remain clear to us. The carvings on these tablets are basically prayers and incantations to various deities.
The main title for these tablets is something that translates – “Prayers of the Lifting of the Hand”. Since these tablets are from the 600BC, we can imply that this truly is the Magic that was first practiced in Babylon. I wish to share some of the scans of those tablets but I do not wish to promote Sorcery here, So I would only put one scan out of them, just for the sake public presentation.
Translation.
1. O …….!\ O ……!\ mighty one
2. O ……., who art unique, thou that brightenest
3. That givest light unto the nations
4. That unto the black-headed race art favorable
5. Bright is thy light, in heaven
6. Brilliant is thy torch, like the Fire-god
7. Thy brightness fills the broad earth !
8. The brightness of the nation he gathers, in thy sight . . .
9. O #### of the sky, whose purpose no man learns!
10. Overwhelming is thy light like the Sun-god [thy?] first-born!
11. Before thy face the great gods bow down, the fate of the world is set before thee!
12. In the evil of an eclipse of the Moon which in such and such a month on such and such a, day has taken place,
13. In the evil of the powers, of the portents, evil and not good, which are in my palace and my land,
14. The great gods beseech thee and thou givest counsel!
15. They take their stand all of them, they petition at thy feet!.
.
40/50 lines.
All the tablets include such incantation, with the difference of referring to male/female/child/parent deities. I should mention; the “…….” Dotted line indicates a space left to add the ‘name of a deity’, to which the magician refers. I do not wish to include the names here, But the name of the deity also depend upon the issue for which the magician wishes to seek help for. For instance, if they want to separate two people, they refer to one deity that is relevant to such a practice. Likewise they refer to others deities for the sake of other purposes they seek. Overall, these incantations are nothing more than attributing to Demons, claiming them to be gods, and asking for a favor in return.
And indeed it is nothing but a Trial. May Allaah keep us safe from the Evil of That which He has created. Ameen.
