Then He says (interpretation of the meaning): Sulaymaan did not disbelieve, but the Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic”Īllaah informs us that they (the shayaateen) committed kufr by teaching men magic. “They followed what the Shayaateen (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaymaan (Solomon). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
This is blatant kufr as the Qur’aan states. “And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots”Īnd it may involve other things which they manage to do through the shayaateen (devils), so they do things that may affect a man's reason or make him sick they may cause division between a man and his wife, resulting in her looking ugly to him, or by making her hate her husband or be put off by him. Sihr may involve things that the magician does when tying knots on which he blows, as is referred to in the Qur’aan (interpretation of the meaning): That which they have made is only a magician’s trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill) he may attain.’” We (Allaah) said: ‘Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.Īnd throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. Moosa said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast. “They said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’ As Allaah said concerning the magicians of Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning):
And the lungs are also called sahr, because they are hidden inside the body.Īccording to sharee’ah, the meaning of sihr is what the magicians do to delude and confuse people, so that the one who is watching thinks that it is real when in fact it is not. Hence the last part of the night is called sahar, because at the end of the night people are unaware and they do not move about much. Sihr is so called because its means are hidden or secret, and because the practitioners of sihr deal with things in secret which enable them to perform illusions to confuse the people and deceive their eyes, and to cause them harm or steal their money, etc., in a secretive manner so that in most cases nobody realizes what is happening. The Qur’aan and Sunnah have described the kinds of sihr and the rulings on these matters. When knowledge prevails and faith increases, and the Islamic authorities are powerful, the number of these evil people shrinks and they move from one land to another, seeking a place where their falsehood will be accepted and they will be able to engage in their trickery and corruption.
