What Is Black Magic in Islam?

Black magic (sihr) is a form of evil practice where someone seeks the help of jinn or shayateen to harm another person. This harm can be:

Physical – like sudden illness with no clear reason
Emotional – depression, fear, anxiety
Social – fights at home, broken relationships
Financial – sudden loss, constant failure in business

Islam strictly forbids black magic. It is a major sin. But if someone has done it against you, remember: Allah knows, Allah sees, and Allah is the Healer (Ash-Shafi).

Common Signs of Black Magic

Not every problem in life is due to black magic. Sometimes it’s just a test from Allah, or even our own mistakes. But some people experience strange patterns that may be signs of sihr.

Here are some commonly mentioned signs:

Sudden, unexplained fear or panic
Bad dreams or nightmares again and again
Hearing voices when no one is there
Feeling like someone is watching you
Extreme laziness only during worship (like you can’t pray properly, can’t focus)
Constant fights in the house for small reasons
Sudden hatred between husband and wife
Continuous failures, even with hard work and planning

If you recognize some of these, don’t panic. Instead, turn calmly toward Allah. The Quran itself is a cure.

The Power of Quran and Dua Against Black Magic

The best protection and cure from black magic comes from:

Quranic recitation
Sincere dua
Tawakkul (trust in Allah)

Allah says in the Quran that it is a healing and a mercy for the believers. When you recite it with belief, it becomes a shield around you.

Think of it like this: if black magic is a dark cloud, then Quran is a bright, powerful light that burns through it.

Powerful Duas and Surahs to Remove Black Magic

Below are some well-known verses and duas that many scholars recommend for protection and treatment from black magic. You can recite them for yourself, your children, or your home.

1. Ayat-ul-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255)

Ayat-ul-Kursi is one of the most powerful verses in the Quran. It talks about the greatness and power of Allah.

How to use it:

Recite Ayat-ul-Kursi after every fard (obligatory) salah.
Read it before sleeping.
Blow lightly over yourself or your children after reciting.

It acts like a spiritual shield. Many authentic hadith mention its power against shaitan.

2. The Last Two Verses of Surah Al-Baqarah

The last two ayahs of Surah Al-Baqarah are also very powerful for protection.

How to use them:

Recite them at night before sleeping.
If you are going through difficulties, make it a daily habit.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said that whoever recites them at night, they will be enough for him – meaning they bring great protection and reward.

3. Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas (Al-Mu’awwidhatayn)

These two short surahs are specifically about seeking protection from:

Black magic
Those who blow on knots (a method used in sihr)
Jinn and shaitan
Hidden and open evils

How to read them:

Recite Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Naas three times in the morning and three times in the evening.
After reciting, blow into your hands and wipe over your body.
Do this before sleeping as well.

This was the daily practice of the Prophet (ﷺ).

4. Surah Al-Fatiha as a Ruqyah

Surah Al-Fatiha is not just for salah. It is also a strong ruqyah (spiritual cure). Many sahabah used it as a healing recitation.

How to use it for black magic:

Recite Surah Al-Fatiha seven times.
Blow over water and drink from it.
You can also gently blow over yourself or the affected person.

Do this regularly with firm belief that the cure is only from Allah.

5. A Simple Dua for Protection

You can also use simple, heartfelt duas. For example:

“Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min kulli sharrin wa min kulli sihrin wa hasadin wa shaytan.”
(O Allah, I seek refuge in You from every evil, from every magic, from jealousy, and from shaitan.)

You don’t have to know long Arabic duas. You can even ask in your own language:

“Ya Allah, if there is any black magic done on me or my family, remove it completely. Protect us from all evil, seen and unseen.”

The key is sincerity.

Daily Habits to Protect Yourself from Black Magic

Prevention is better than cure. Even if you feel fine, try to build these habits:

Pray your five daily salah – Salah itself is a huge protection.
Morning and evening adhkar – Short duas from the Sunnah that you read after Fajr and after Asr or Maghrib.
Recite Ayat-ul-Kursi after every fard salah and before sleeping.
Read Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas three times in the morning and evening.
Keep your home clean and filled with Quran – Play Quran recitation often in your house.
Avoid sin – Sins open doors for shaitan; obedience to Allah closes them.

Just like you lock your door at night to stay safe, these spiritual habits are your locks and alarms against unseen harm.

Should You Visit a Healer for Black Magic?

Some people run to anyone who claims they can “fix” black magic. Be careful.

Avoid:

People who write strange symbols or ask you to do haram things
Those who call on jinn or give you amulets with unknown writing

This can make the problem worse and take you toward shirk.

If you want help:

Look for a trusted, practicing Muslim who uses only Quran and authentic duas.
They should always remind you that Allah is the true Healer, not them.

Final Thoughts: Your Hope Is with Allah

Maybe you’re reading this because you feel stuck, scared, or confused. Maybe you’ve been told someone did black magic on you. It can be very stressful.

But remember:

No magic, no jinn, no person is stronger than Allah.
Every harm happens only by His permission, and He can remove it whenever He wills.
Your dua, your salah, and your patience are your strongest weapons.

Turn to Allah with a soft heart. Read the Quran daily. Recite these powerful duas to remove black magic and protect yourself. Take small steps, but be consistent.

Do you feel ready to start today? Begin with one thing – maybe Ayat-ul-Kursi after each salah – and build from there. With time, inshaAllah, you’ll feel lighter, calmer, and more protected under the care of the One who never sleeps and never forgets.
