Black magic and its punishment

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem


For many people the idea that they may be under a curse or perhaps suffering the effects of some "evil art" is far fetched and the absolute last resort thought after all the last resort thoughts possible.

However, the effects of Black Magic can be subtle, can mimick physical illness (without ever a real root cause) and can damage individuals, relationships, and actually eat away at the fabric of society.

For many people speaking of black magic harks back to some Middle Ages era and it sheer rubbish. For many others it is a daily reality. The proof that such things do exist lies in the fact that our Prophet (saw) himself was victim to it. Here is an interesting article concerning punishment under Islamic Law.For those of you may be considering what appears to be "an easy way out", let it be a warning, for those who may already have engaged in such depravity of the soul, it is a promise that what's coming to you will find its way unless you repent and stop, and undo whatever you can.
Let me start off by saying that Black Magic, Sihr, Jaddo, witchcraft or whatever you want to call it is PROHIBITED by ALLAH most High. To engage in it is beyond an attempt of manipulation of life or the livign, it is in fact trying to alter the present or future to suit one'self without going to Allah, but through your own means, or the means of a Saahir (someone who performs such evil).

WARNING: IF you are engaging in Sihr, and do not stop immediately, that which ALLAH will do to you is far worse than what any human being can do when being oppressed in such a fashion

" Punishment under Islamic Law for Practicing Sihr [Magic] The Messenger of Allaah said, “He is not of us, the one who sees evil omens, or the one the one whose behalf they are seen, or the one who practices soothsaying, or the one on whose behalf it is practiced; or the one who practices sorcery, or the one for whom sorcery is done.” (At-Tabaraanee) He also says, “And the magician will never be successful no matter what amount (of skill) he may attain.” (Taahaa 20: 69) The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, said: ‘Kill every sorcerer, for this is the punishment ordained by Allah.’ This is the opinion of Abu Haneefah, Maalik, and Ahmed. Imam Ahmad said, “Capital punishment for the sorcerer has been authentically reported from three companions of the Prophet. It is reported from Umar that he wrote, “Kill every sorcerer and sorceress.” Bujaalah (a sub-narrator) said, “Then we killed three sorceresses.” It is also authentically reported from Hafsah (Prophet’s wife) that she ordered a maid of hers to be killed because she did sorcery on her.” Jundub bin Kaab was also authentically reported that he beheaded a magician who was playing his magic in front of Waleed and said, “Let him use his magic for his own benefit now.” According to Imam Malik, a person who practices Sihr (Saahir), but does not have it done for himself is similar to the person Allah describes in the following verse: “And they learned what hurt them, and did not profit them, knowing well that whoso buys it shall have no share in the world to come.” (al-Baqarah 2/102) According the verse, Imam Malik believed that the punishment for practicing Sihr is the death sentence. (Muwatta, 628) According to Ibn Qudamah, the punishment for practicing Sihr is the death sentence. This view was reported by Umar (radiyallahu anh), Uthman Ibn Affan (radiyallahu anh), Ibn Umar (radiyallahu anh), Hafsa (radiyallahu anha), Jundub Ibn Abdullah (radiyallahu anh), Jundub Ibn Ka’b (radiyallahu anh), Qays Ibn Sa’d (rahimahullaah) and Umar Ibn Abdu’l-Aziz. It is also the view of Abu Hanifa and Malik.

You cannot say you did not know, you cannot say you did not intend, you cannot say you meant no harm.

THE WORLD IS A DANGEROUS PLACE, NOT BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO DO EVIL, BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO LOOK ON AND DO NOTHING"
