Black magic (sihr) is real and dangerous—and spiritual protection is essential in today’s time. Many people experience unexplained issues: sickness without diagnosis, broken relationships, business failure, fear, or recurring nightmares. The root cause? Often it’s magic, evil eye, or spiritual negativity.
But there’s good news: Islam provides a powerful remedy. A Quranic verse, recited just three times before sleeping, can expose the face of the person who cast black magic and shield you from its effects. Read on for the full spiritual solution.
What Causes Black Magic?
According to Imam Abu Hanifa (RA), a magician (sahir) is worse than an apostate. While an apostate harms only himself, a magician uses evil forces, calls upon devils, and harms many. Magic is often caused by:
-
Living in a state of impurity (without wudu)
-
Neglecting daily prayers
-
Disconnection from dhikr (remembrance of Allah)
Signs You May Be Affected by Black Magic
Here are early and advanced symptoms of black magic (sihr), according to Islamic scholars:
Early Signs:
-
Nightmares of wild animals like dogs, cats, snakes, or scorpions
-
Seeing lizards, insects, or monsters in dreams
-
Feeling tired even after sleep
-
Recurring headaches, especially unexplained ones
-
Feeling something following or watching you
-
Negative, obsessive thoughts about Allah, His Messenger, or religion
Advanced Signs:
-
Constant pain in shoulders, joints, spine, knees, or feet
-
Feeling like pins or needles in the head
-
Sudden anger or fear toward specific family members or friends
-
Infertility despite clean medical reports
-
Failed marriages or no marriage proposals for years
-
Business failure despite effort and planning
-
Doctors say “you’re fine,” but symptoms persist
If these symptoms stay consistent over weeks or months, it may be spiritual magic or jinn possession.
Powerful Spiritual Solution: Surah Al-Baqarah
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Recite Surah Al-Baqarah in your homes, for the shayateen do not enter the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.”
— Sahih Muslim
How to Break Black Magic Using Surah Baqarah:
Perform wudu before sleeping
Sit in a clean place, facing the Qiblah
Recite Surah Al-Baqarah (full surah if possible)
Blow on:
-
Your water
-
Your body
-
The four corners of your room
-
Sprinkle that water in all corners of your house
Do this for 3 to 7 nights and continue regularly for protection. This is a highly effective ruqyah (spiritual treatment) proven to remove magic, jinn, evil eye, and hidden illness.
Nighttime Verse That Reveals the Magician
Before sleeping, recite the following short Quranic verse 3 times, with full attention and faith:
“Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel”
(“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs”)
Reciting this verse with conviction can lead to dreams or signs exposing the magician. Many have reported seeing the face of the person who harmed them spiritually.
Bonus Tips for Protection:
-
Keep yourself and your home in purity
-
Play Surah Al-Baqarah audio daily in your house
-
Avoid sinful habits; be regular in Salah (prayer)
-
Feed the poor or give sadaqah after recitation for added barakah
-
Avoid blaming every problem on magic — seek both spiritual and practical solutions
