Islam has its own guides to shielding one from black magic Photo Pexels
World – In today’s fast-paced world, individuals often find themselves facing various challenges that affect their well-being. It is not uncommon for people to undergo extensive medical tests and investigations only to be told that nothing is physically wrong, yet they continue to feel unwell. In such instances, there may be underlying factors that conventional medicine fails to address, such as the effects of black magic (Sihr).
Islam encompasses guidance for every aspect of life, and protection against black magic is no exception. Islam provides us with profound solutions to overcome the challenges we encounter. The teachings of Islam offer a comprehensive approach to safeguarding oneself from spiritual harm. By incorporating specific actions into our daily routines, we can create a shield against black magic, explained Moulana Abdullah Khan, Administrator at Jamiatul Ulama KZN.
“The first advice that I will give you is that as far as possible a Muslim person should stay in the state of Wudhu (ablution) at all times. The moment we leave home we should be in a state of Wudhu. If our Wudhu breaks at any particular time or we have to use a toilet or we have to pass wind or something of that sort that caused our Wudhu to break, then it will take a few minutes for a person to refresh his Wudhu. In that particular way the first form of protection is to always remain in a state of Wudhu.”

Recitation of the three Quls as a form of protection against black magic
Moulana Khan emphasised the significance of reciting the three Quls (chapters) from the Quraan as a means of protection. According to a Hadith (narration of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)), the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) instructed a companion named Hazrat Abdullah ibn Khubayb (RA) to recite these chapters in the morning and evening. The three Quls are the last three Surahs in the Quraan which are Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Nas.
“This should be recited three times. It means you will read each Surah three times then you will read. A person who makes Amal (practices and does this action) on this in the morning and in the evening, morning is after Fajr and evening is after Maghrib Salah, it will be a form of recitation and a form of protection for us. The Hadith says that this will protect you against everything.”
The power of Ayatul Kursi
Another powerful verse mentioned by Moulana Khan is Ayatul Kursi. This verse, found in Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2, Verse 255), is regarded as one of the most “auspicious” and significant in the Quraan.
“There is such protection in Ayatul Kursi that Nabi (SAW) encouraged us to recite it at the time when a person goes to bed. When you recite it at the time when you go to bed, the Hadith says that Allah (SWT) will assign for you a protector, a guard, who will protect you the entire night and Shaytan (Satan) will not be able to come near you right until dawn.”
Moulana Khan’s guidance offers practical ways to protect ourselves from various challenges, including the effects of black magic. By maintaining a state of Wudhu, reciting the three Quls, and regularly reciting Ayatul Kursi, we establish a spiritual shield against adversities. It is crucial to place our trust in Allah (SAW) and practise these recommendations consistently. Let us embrace these teachings and seek the strength to face life’s challenges with faith and resilience.
