SORCERY IN ISLAM (PART 2)
THE CURE
Description: Islam is able to offer several remedies to cure a
person from the effects of sorcery.
Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon
him, told us that sorcery was real, and that it was dangerous
both physically and spiritually. However if we face a problem
or become ill we should not immediately think we have been
harmed by sorcery. Often those who truly believe they are
affected by sorcery one of the first things they think of doing,
is using sorcery to heal themselves. This is entirely
incorrect. Evil cannot, under any circumstances whatsoever, be
removed by more evil. Evil can only be cured or removed by
good.
Many diseases of the mind and body mimic the effects of magic,
therefore, a person should always seek help from qualified
medical practitioners before jumping to the conclusion that they
have had a spell cast on them. However, the reality is that God
does allow these things into our lives, either as a test or as a
means to greater reward. It is wise to remember that nothing
happens without the permission of God, and God may heal the
person affected by sorcery, without any action on the part of
the person affected, or others on his behalf, because He is Able
to do all things, and He is Wise in all that He does.
"Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He
says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is!” (Quran 36:82)
Prophet Muhammad told us that, “The greatest reward comes with
the greatest trial. When God loves a people He tests them.
Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent
with that earns His wrath.” God does not leave us defenceless
in the face of any danger, sorcery included. There are many
ways to protect ourselves from the ill effects of sorcery. They
begin as always with the words of God, the Quran.
Reciting verses from the Quran, certain supplications and words
of remembrance will create a protective barrier between a person
and the harms of sorcery, thus it is a very good idea to make
this a regular practice. The opening chapter of Quran is known
as the greatest chapter and it one of the greatest forms of
protection, along with other verses and chapters of Quran
including the last three chapters, and Chapter 2, verse 255.
This verse is known as the greatest verse in Quran and Prophet
Muhammad said that whoever recited this verse at night would be
protected until morning and whoever recited it in the morning
would be protected until nightfall.
The Quran talks extensively about sorcery in chapter 2 and this
chapter is one of the greatest means of protection from evil of
all kinds. It is wise to recite or play this chapter in your
home on a regular basis.
“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 did not teach anyone unless they said, ’We are a
trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].’ And [yet]
they learned from them that which can cause separation between a
man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except
by the permission of Allah. They learned what harmed them, not
what benefited them, knowing full well that the buyers of
it [magic] would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad
indeed was that for which they sold themselves, if they but
knew.” (Quran 2:102)
Every person, whether affected by sorcery or not, should try to
depend on God alone and put his trust in Him in all affairs,
knowing that God does not send a disease for which there is no
cure. God has given us permissible means for treating those who
have been harmed by sorcery and for protecting ourselves from
it. A person should turn to God; beseech Him with supplication
at the beginning of the day, at night and after every prayer.
For God is the One who removes harm and relieves distress and He
is merciful; He answers the supplications of all those who call
upon Him. In addition, while holding fast to God, seeking refuge
with Him, and putting our trust in Him, we can attain protection
from sorcery by striving to do what is right in the sight of
God, and turning away from sin.
Finally let us discuss a few important points to bear in mind
about the topic of sorcery. Sorcery is often referred to as
black magic. This gives the false impression that there is
something called white magic and thus not dangerous or as
dangerous. Magic is magic no matter what colour is used to
describe it. While the intent of the practitioner may range from
evil to good, believers have been told categorically to stay
away from magic in all its forms.
There is a lot of information about curing a person affected by
sorcery circulating on the internet that is downright dangerous,
as dangerous as magic. Some sites will tell you that physical
symptoms of ill health are signs of a magic spell, this is often
incorrect. People suffering from flu like symptoms or strange
conditions should seek the help of medical practitioners. Well
known and understood mental illnesses are often misdiagnosed as
the effects of sorcery; this is particularly dangerous,
especially when a person is suffering from delusions or
hallucinations. When medical efforts have been exhausted and
the symptoms have not been explained then it would be wise to
seek the help of a qualified person of Islamic knowledge.
However, be certain that any “cures” you are given must strictly
be in accordance with the instructions given by God and His
messenger, Prophet Muhammad.
Lastly remember that using the words of God, that is the Quran
itself, as a shield from magic is at all times recommended for
it achieves several purposes, including bring a person closer to
God.
