Magic and Spells

JInn / Shaitaan or Allahs will ?

Dr. Sayeeduddin Mister

It is not proven by the Glorious Quran and Authentic Ahadeeth that a magic spell occurs due to the handiwork of Shaitan and Jinn, but according to the Glorious Quran and Authentic Ahadeeth it occurs by the will of Almighty Allah for testing human beings.

TRUTH BEHIND MAGIC AND SPELLS

Magic and spells exist and are mentioned in The Glorious Quran. They also have effects on many but it is wrong to say that their effects take place because of jinn and Shaitaan. This cannot be proved by The Glorious Qutan or authentic hadeeths. Its written in Surah Baqrah, Ayat 102, that two angels descended in Babel with magic and spells. Almighty Allah sent down angels with magic and it was sent down as a test for mankind. Just like poison can kill and Almighty Allah has made it so that He can test mankind so that one man doesnt kill another by poisoning him, similarly magic is also a test so that He can test mankind that one person doesnt harm another using magic and spells. Magic and spells work by the permission of Almighty Allah just like poison works by His permission. As the effects of a poison has no connection whatsoever with Shaitaan, similarly the effects of magic has no connection with Shaitaan. Its written in The Glorious Quran in Surah Taaha Ayat 69: A magician, wherefrom he is, will never succeed. This proves that a magician can never succeed but at times Allah makes his tricks successful making people think that the magician has succeeded. Allah has said in The Glorious Quran in Surah Baqrah They cant harm any person with their magic without Allahs permission. Practicing magic is a kufr since it involves words which are kufriya. As it is a kufr, a man learns it from Shaitaan among jinn or men. Both these Shaitaans make the magician perform many haraam acts but they (the Shaitaan among men and jinn) cannot make the magic effective as it is Almighty Allah alone who can make magic have its effect so that He can test us. This theory of magic having its effect because of jinn or Shaitaan is totally baseless and cannot be proved from the Glorious Quran or any authentic Hadeeth. Almighty Allah doesnt need anyones help in doing anything. All He has to do is say Kun and it happens.

THE EFFECTS OF MAGIC IS NOT BECAUSE OF SHAITAAN AND JINN

It is totally wrong to say that the effects of magic and spells are because of Shaitaan and jinns. Books on the subject of jinn and magic usually state that jinn or Shaitaan enters a persons body through some magic and harms him. When a magician wants a person to be paralyzed, he tells a jinn to harm the nervous system of the person, to paralyze him/her. All these things are totally baseless and cannot be proved either from The Glorious Quran or the authentic Hadeeths. Actually those who claim to capture jinns are liars, cheaters and frauds. No man has the power to capture a jinn and make him (the jinn) do things according to his (the mans) wish. Almighty Allah had given this power only to Prophet Suleiman (P.B.U.H) who had prayed to Allah O my Lord! Forgive me and grant me a kingdom that shall not belong to any after me in Surah Swad Ayat 35 and Almighty Allah accepted his prayers as a result of which Prophet Suleiman (P.B.U.H) had control over every animal, insect, air, jinn, etc. There is also a hadeeth of Sahih Bukhaari and Sahih Muslim that Allahs enemy, the Iblis, had once thrown a fireball at Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) while he was offering prayers. But by Almighty Allahs help, Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) caught him by his throat and wished to tie him in the mosque for others to see but was reminded of Prophet Suleimans (P.B.U.H) prayers and so he (Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)) set him free. This verse of Quran and the Hadeeth proves that men can neither capture jinns nor can men order jinns to perform any task. No magician can harm a person by ordering Shaitaan or jinn to enter someones body. Those who claim to capture jinns in bottles or destroy them by fire are cheaters, frauds and liars. They can never capture or kill a jinn. Some Alims say that if a magician becomes a terrible sinner and always utters kufriya words, the Shaitaan is impressed by him and becomes his (the magicians) disciple. He (Shaitaan) listens to everything the magicians tells him and harms anyone as ordered by the magician. All these statements are utterly nonsense and cannot be proved by the Glorious Quran or authentic Hadeeths. Pharaoh (Firoun) was an ardent enemy of Almighty Allah and a disbeliever to the extent that he declared himself god. He massacred thousands of innocent children and was involved in all kinds of heinous sins but there is no evidence that he reigned over jinns also. Shaitaan and jinns never became his followers and performed things according to their wish.

If a sinner of pharaohs magnitude couldnt control jinns then how could todays small-time magicians control them? Having such opinions that jinns can be controlled by men is a wrong belief and cannot be proved from the Glorious Quran or authentic Hadeeths. The effects of magic are only because of Almighty Allah who is using magic as a test for mankind. It cannot be proved from the Glorious Quran or authentic hadeeths that magic has its effect because of Shaitaan or jinns. Medical science and common sense also refute this theory because there is no science better than Islam and no science book better than the Glorious Quran. A human brain is an interesting organ which apart from controlling the whole body and its movement, also controls respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, power of hearing, power of seeing, power of smelling, power of feeling pain, cardiovascular system, etc. Its like the headquarter of human body which is connected to various offices (different organs), each of which perform its individual tasks. Human beings are Ashraful Makhluqaat (best of all creatures). Still without proper medical knowledge he doesnt know which part of the brain is connected to which organ or system. Then how could a jinn without any medical knowledge know that on which part of the brain he should attack to make a person paralyzed or to make him mad or to cause him cancer of precisely a particular organ? Without medical knowledge it is not possible. All these points prove that magic and spells are not because of Shaitaan and jinns but they are just a tool with which Almighty Allah tests us and they have their effects only by the will of Almighty Allah alone.

THE RIGHT TREATMENT OF MAGIC AND SPELLS

Thousands of books have been written on the subject of treatment of magic and spells. Various types of Jhaad Phoonk, amulets, Keel, Falita, cassettes are used although they are not proved from the Glorious Quran or authentic Hadeeths. Most of these books, written by both Ahl-e-Hadeeth and non Ahl-e- Hadeeth authors, are full of Biddah and Shirk. When Allahs last prophet, Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), became ill because of magic spell done on him, it was angel Gabriel who cured him after praying to Almighty Allah and his prayer as mentioned in Sahih Muslim was: In the name of Allah, I do dum from everything which harms you, from the wickedness of every creature and of those who are jealous, may God cure you. I do dum in the name of Allah. After this the angel Gabriel recited the last two chapters of the Glorious Quran, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas, and untied the pieces of the hair which were under the spell. This prayer cured Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) of magic. Now it is obligatory upon the Muslims to use only these prayers in treatment of magic and spells as all other methods, be it the recitation of other Quranic verses, will be a Biddah as they were neither practiced nor advised by Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). It can be proved from authentic Hadeeth that two last surahs of Quran, Ayat-al-Kursi and ajwaa dates are to be used to prevent oneself from magic and spells but if someone has already become a victim of magic and spell then the only treatment is to use the prayers of angel Gabriel and Surah Falaq and Surah Naas. All other treatments are Biddah and every Biddah leads to hellfire. There is no need to visit any Amil or Moulvi in case someone is under a magic spell. Just recite the prayer of angel Gabriel and last two chapters of the Glorious Quran at your hands and run them across your face, then head and your whole body. Repeat it a few times, if you are under the spell of a magic and you will be cured, Insha Allah. When a person falls ill then we should first think that he is suffering from a physical disease and so we consult the doctors of the concerned field. Along with that we should continue to pray to Almighty Allah to cure the patient as it is He who will ultimately cure anyone and it is because of Him alone that medicine helps in curing diseases. While treatment is underway, if you feel that the patient is actually a victim of a magical spell, then there is no need to visit any Amil as the prayer of angel Gabriel and the last two Surahs of Quran, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas are sufficient for treatment of a magical spell. Insha Allah the person will be cured if these are recited 4 to 5 times. And if the person is still not cured, then consult some doctors with the conviction that the person is actually physically ill. If not satisfied, then consult other doctors, but meanwhile continue to pray to Almighty Allah. Dont visit Amils and Moulvis for Jhaad Phoonk, amulets, Keel and Falita. All these are Biddah. Refrain from them in order to keep Almighty Allah pleased.

If one lakh people are treated for being affected from a spell of magic, 99999 of them are actually mental and physical patients. Only one out of one lakh may be affected by spell.

SHAITAN HELPS MAGICIANS AND FORTUNE-TELLERS

It is narrated in Sahih Bukhaari (6213) that 'Urwa reported from 'A'isha (radhiallahu anha) that she said that people asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about the kahins (soothsayers/fortune-tellers). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to them: They are nothing (i. e. it is a mere superstition). They said: Allah's Messenger, they at times narrate to us things which we find true. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches away and then cackles into the ear of his friend as the hen does. And then they mix in it more than one hundred lies. Also, al-Bukhaari (4701) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: When Allaah decrees a matter in heaven, the angels beat their wings in submission to His words, making a sound like a chain striking a rock. When the fear is banished from their hearts, they say, what is it that your Lord has said? They say: 'The truth; And He is the Most High, the Most Great.' (Quran 34.23) Then the one who is listening out (the shaitaan/jinns hiding and waiting to snatch the news) hears that, and those who are listening out (i.e. shaitaans/jinns) are standing one above the other Sufyaan [one of the narrators] demonstrated with his hand, holding it vertically with the fingers outspread. So he hears what is said and passes it on to the one below him, and that one passes it to the one who is below him, and so on until it reaches the lips of the soothsayer or fortune-teller. When the Angels see the jinn they attack them with fireballs/flames. Maybe the fireballs/flames will hit him before he can pass anything on, or maybe he will pass it on before he is hit. He (soothsayer/fortune-teller) tells a hundred lies alongside it. But it will be said (by people), Did he (soothsayer) not tell us that on such and such a day, such and such would happen? So they believe him because of the one thing which was heard from heaven. i.e., he is believed because of the one true word that was heard/snatched from heaven by the shaitaan/jinn and passed on to the fortune-teller. This is the reason given by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) when he was asked as to why sometimes the sayings of fortune-tellers come true. The matter of fact is that, the Shaitaans who try to steal and pass the information from the heaven to fortune-tellers are neither under the control of the fortune-tellers nor these Shaitaans are their slaves. The fortune-tellers do not appoint them for such work. When a person goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something and believes what he says. This is disbelief in Allah (kufr), because he is believing the fortune-tellers claim to have knowledge of the unseen, and believing a humans being claim to have knowledge of the unseen constitutes disbelief in the verse in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghayb (Unseen) except Allah [Surah al-Naml 27:65]. This is what the Shaitaan wants. The Shaitaans do such work in enmity to Allah, so that the sin, misguidance, shirk and the disobedience to Allah increases in the world which is the only mission and motive of the Shaitaans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yours truly DR.
