Symptoms of Black Magic (Sihr) in Islam
In Islam, Sihr (black magic) refers to harmful magic performed with the help of devils or jinn to affect a person’s health, emotions, relationships, or life circumstances.
Islam acknowledges the reality of sihr. It is mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Al-Baqarah where magic was practiced during the time of the prophets.
However, many symptoms may also be caused by medical or psychological conditions, so it is important to seek medical advice along with Islamic Ruqyah.
