I was Black Magic
The year was 1997. I was often being asked by those who knew me of the paleness shown on my face. My weight was reducing and I noticed that I was getting skinny each day. I was also having problems with my visions and my head was always experiencing throbbing pain. Most of the time my body ached alot, that I felt like an aged woman.
This happened about one year after I stopped seeking post-natal massage service from a woman in her late thirty. I was suspicious of her as I became addicted to her service. It became a weekly affair. Everytime, immediately after the massage I always felt good and strong. This went on for several months before I noticed how peculiar the sequence of my visits. So I decided to stop patronising her service.
Then one morning, I could not get off my bed. My head was too heavy to be lifted up. I kept on falling backward everytime I tried to get myself up as if someone was controlling my body preventing me to sit up. It was petrifying and I asked myself what could possibly happened to me. The noises in my right ear were hurting my head making me distressed.
My husband suspected that I was being controlled by a super-natural Being for I was not behaving as my normal self. He carried me to the home of an acquaintance who, was well versed in this matter. I was then in the state of semi-conscious while hearing the Qur’anic verses. Then I black-out. When I woke up, I was told by my husband that a Banshee was trying to control my body. However, this was not the end of my ordeal.
That night I could not sleep well because I felt that somebody outside my bedroom window was trying to get into my room to grab me. The next morning, even though I was able to walk as normal, I still felt the throbbing pain on my head. This went on for about a year and finally in late 1998, I decided to seek medical help.
I went to a neurologist who performed a thorough medical body check-up on me. He found that I was in perfect health. His reason for the throbbing pain on my head was due to stress. So he prescribed me a painkiller which I was unaware that I was allergic to it. I nearly died of Johnson Steven Syndrome, two weeks after consuming the prescribed tablets.
The hospitalisation was the most terrifying ordeal in my life. I was told by my doctor that I had lost two pint of blood within a day and he was unable to explain. He was puzzled with it since thorough examinations on me showed that there were no internal bleedings in my body. During my stay in the hospital for half a month, everyday between 4.00pm and just after sunset, my right eardrum hurt very much due to the buzzing noise that was blowing into my ear. I was discharged from the hospital soon after I was catagorised to be out of the danger zone. By now I suspected that someone had performed black magic on me.
Even though I was recuperating, I was still weak and feeble. Nevertheless, I was free to do what I want without restriction unlike when I was in the hospital. However, I still encountered the same pain during certain hours of the day. I was very determined to fight these demons that tried to control my body and life. I performed the Two Raka’at Mid-night Sholat to seek help from Allah. I also seek for Allah to show me the culprit behind such evil doings.
After few nights, I had a dream. In my dream, I saw the person who did the unspeakable act on me. In my vision, I saw her sitting in my bedroom in front of my bed performing her witchcraft. I could see her face clearly chanting and holding some leaves with smoke everywhere causing me to cough a lot and I woke-up from my sleep coughing uncontrollably. This woman whom I saw in my dream performing black magic on me was the massage woman whom the service I used to seek.
She seems to be a kind and good Muslim. Her voice was always gentle and her words were often kind. She was always concerned of her clients’ plights and very willing to help. I could still visualised her appearance; a chubby short woman with a smiling face. Little that I knew, behind those smiles there were evil intentions preying for victims squeezing money out of them to earn a deceitful livelihood. She was hiding her evil intentions behind her hijab mask. Indeed appearance can be very deceiving! Yet she called herself a Muslim when there was nothing Islamic in whatever she was practicing.
Recalling back my memories during those visits to her home, I reliased that every time I came back after the massage, my body vitalised like magic and I could do my house chores with full of energy. Then it only lasted for the most a week and I had to visit her again. I also realised that during the massage sessions when she was massaging the back of my body while I was lying on my belly, I could feel something blowing around my shoulders and I experienced goose-bumps all over my neck.
Thinking back, I was wondering who was the one actually massaging me while my face was facing the pillow. The massage woman or the devil she was having the pact with. Indeed the massage session was extraordinary. I realised that she tried to inflict harm on me by making my body constantly aching so that I will always seeking her service.
After realising I was black magic, along with my husband I seek the help of a religious teacher who recited the verses from the holy Qur’an to ward off the evil invisible Being that was sitting on me. It was controlling my eyes and causing throbbing pain as it rested on my right shoulder with its fingers holding tight on the right side of my head. It flew off after few recitations as I could feel that my shoulder was free of the heavy weight. The religious teacher than gave my husband the appropriate verses to be recited everyday into my right ear to stop the evil Being from trying to control my body.
The above black magic that I encountered was not the first neither was it the last. It was the worst that nearly got me killed. Indeed the fact that I am still alive, the evil power of those who had tried to use black magic on me has its limitation. Without the Will-Power of Allah, they cannot make me dead even though how many times they tried to kill me using black magic. They can never change my destiny without Allah’s Will!
Appearences are deceiving, aren’t they?! I’ve learnt that over and over again… but what can we do? As muslims, we would, of course, tend to be more trusting towards others who call themselves muslims as well.
Alhamdulillah for your recovery.
Thank you for stopping-by, seeker94.
I can’t agree less than you. Appearences are indeed deceiving. Even through observation of behaviours may not give correct judgement on the type of person one can be. Not to mention, judging an individual by looking at the way he/she dresses. I do not see the specialities in those who observe Hijab. They are just ordinary Muslimah, not free from the human imperfection in behaviours, trying to adhere to the command of Allah to observe modesty. For all you know their hearts may be worst than those who are not observing one. It is the likeness of a mango with strong nice fragrance that appears good from the outside but infested by worms inside it.
I ever came across a Muslimah observing Hijab who simply refused to speak to those who were not wearing one, looking down on them with disgust. Tell me what kind of a person is that? Islam teaches Muslims to respect others and be kind to all, always. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. did not have such behaviour and did not teach his followers to behave arrogantly as such.
To those who tend to look down on others, please refrain from such behaviour. To appear good without sincerity, projecting oneself to be seen as a good muslim will not guaranty that paradise will be rewarded when the heart is not properly be taken care off. What matters most is a good heart with good intentions in the path of Almighty Allah.
Yes, Al-Hamdulillah, I am back to my normal self, physically and emotionally. I Redha for all the things that had happened to me and learnt that they were my trials and tribulations. Indeed they were tests of faith from Allah, the Most High. It was also a message from Allah to me, not to be too trusting to others in the future. People may claimed themselves as Muslims but I should asked myself; “Are they true Muslims adhering strictly to the teaching of Islam, practicing the faith as they should?”.
I learnt that appearences could not to be made as a mode in judging people, evaluating what lies in the hearts. Neither through observation of characteristic on behaviors could give the correct answers. They only provide guidelines to whom one prefer to be with.
Nowadays, I tend to be selective among my Casual friends, i.e. all the people I stumbled upon, in choosing them whom I can called Good friends. Even among the Good friends, I will normally screen them to be called Family friends. However, none can ever be close to me to be called Best friends. I am still as friendly as before, mixing well with others but, no longer a person who can easily be convinced. I am not trusting towards others anymore.
[...] led to severe migraine; which I found out later that the throbbing pain on my head was the work of Black Magic. I was prescribed with painkiller by the neurologist and ended up in the hospital bed [...]

Assalamu Alaykum
I’m intrigued by this post. I do not believe in Black Magic or anything of the sort. My attitude is that something as extraordinary as that would require extraordinary proof.
Of course I do believe in God. But what if I told you that it is precisely because you believe in supernatural beings that they are real - to you at least. Certainly I don’t think an Aboriginal/Dinka/isiXhosa shaman incantation would drive out was visiting you because none of these beliefs played a role in setting up the construct that allowed you to believe in these supernatural beings in the first place. ie. No belief in xyz so no possession by xyz requiring exhorsism by xyz-authority.
I’m asking this because in the part of the world I come from (Cape Town, South Africa) these beliefs are still common and in fact the young lady I will marry soon carries beliefs similiar to this and I want to draw a line about these things.
If you could help me understand what sustains this belief that would be much appreciated.
Btw, may you be granted a Hajj Maqbul and Hajj Mabrur. I went last year, it was quite an eye-opening experience.
Zahir
Thank you for visiting this blog of mine, Zahir. May you be given Hajj Maqbul and Hajj Mabrur during the Hajj performed last year. Indeed Hajj is an eye-opening experience!
Zahir, I am afraid that this is going to be a long reply. Magic is indeed an intrigue topic because it involves the World of Ghaib and it is the nature of humans to be curious putting interest in this matter. However, such phenomenon always challenge human intelligence to seek logical answers that satisfy sane minds. I can understand that it is difficult for anyone to accept something to be caused by Supernatural Beings; i.e. the Beings with the power beyond the natural capabilities of Humans. Certainly, these Beings are not Human Beings!
You are right; Yes, I believe that Supernatural Beings are real. My mind is not playing tricks on me about their existence because it is mentioned in the Qur’an that they exist. As a Muslim, I do believe in the existence of such beings living in the world of the Unseen.
Almighty Allah, the Angels, Satan, Jinns and the Souls of the dead are all in the World of Ghaib, that is, the world which in normal circumstances, cannot be seen by humans. There are many surahs in the Qur’an mentioned about such existence. Surah Al-Jinn, in particular is about the Jinn, another form of Beings created by Allah.
What I had experienced with Supernatural Beings was real. I was not imagining and I truly believe that I was Black Magic. I am not a person who takes things at face value. It took me several months to gather information and evidences, reasoning out everything that I had experienced, to really convince that somebody with an evil heart had used Black Magic on me.
The dream I had about the woman, was a pointer for me to start with my investigation work to find answers to the strange phenomenon that happened to me. And it took a lot of courage to confront with such devilish, evil work of witchcraft performed by a sorcerer. One must have strong faith in Allah, the Most High, and that only the words of Almighty Allah; i.e. the Qur’an, can defeat and destroy such evils….this is what I strongly believe.
Certainly, I do not believe that I had been possessed by any form of Supernatural Being as suggested by some people around me who knew about my encounters. What I believe is that my body was controlled by a Supernatural Being through the work of Black Magic done by a sorcerer (May Allah curse her for her evil work).
I was then, not behaving my normal self not because I was being possessed, but because I was distressed by the buzzing noises that went into my ear hurting my eardrum. It had hurt so much causing throbbing pain on my head. I felt as if fingers with pointed nails piercing into my forehead just above my right eye. I felt a heavy load on my shoulders too, especially on the right side, as if somebody heavy was sitting on my neck causing me to keep on falling backwards. And sometimes I felt as if somebody was holding my shoulders firmly preventing me to sit up.
All these made me distressed, spinning my dizzy head, causing me to be in the state of semi-conscious most of the time. When my husband carried me to the religious teacher’s home, that was the worst period of my sufferings that I finally fainted due to the unbearable pain not because of any exorcism or hearing to Qur’anic verses recited by the religious teacher. The pain was real but the things that I saw, I believe it was caused by hallucination due to the effect of Black Magic.
And I was hospitalized definitely due to Steven Johnson Syndrome, not because of Black Magic. The burnt marks on my body and my horrid face with red shooting eyes lying semi-conscious in the hospital bed was not because of a Banshee, the blood sucking female like Being, sitting inside my body controlling my soul or caused by witchcraft as claimed by some people around me who speculated my ordeal as such. I was in that state because of the effect of Steven Johnson Syndrome.
The only thing that I cannot reason out was, losing 2 pints of blood within a day without any bleeding or internal bleeding. Some said it was the work of a Banshee (In south-east Asia, ”Banshee” is called “Pontianak”, the soul of a dead female human who died during giving birth to a child and being kept like a prisoner slave-like by a sorcerer for the work of Black Magic). However, in my opinion the only logically answer to the loss of such blood can only be acquired through medical explainations. It was just at that time, the doctors were unable to find out or detect the causes.
Black Magic is a kind of magic practice by human who made a pact with the Devils, packing themselves with Satan, a union that will only drag them to Hell in Hereafter. People who practice Black Magic have the intention to earn deceitful income by inflicting harm to others, pretending to help after convincing the victims that they are able to communicate with the Supernatural Beings that caused the harm, of course for a very small amount of money per visit of consultation that occurs frequently within a short period of time which can be continuous for several years.
Magic has no place in Islam and learning it is Kufr. The practice of Black Magic is Shirk. To believe in Black Magic is an act of Shirk too. There is a great difference between “believe in Black Magic” and ”believe in the existence of Black Magic”. To believe in Black Magic is to have faith in Black Magic whereas, to believe in the existence of Black Magic is merely to believe that Black Magic does exist.
As a Muslim who has faith in Allah s.w.t., I do not believe in Black Magic because I strongly believe in the Greatness of Almighty Allah, the Most High. No other Entities/Beings can ever be above Allah, the Most High and no other powers can defeat the Power of Allah, the Almighty. Other than the fact that I was ever been Black Magic, I do believe that Black Magic exist because its existence has been confirmed by the Qur’an and Hadiths.
“They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulayman (Solomon). Sulayman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)’. And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah’s leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their own selves, if they but knew.” (Al-Baqarah, 2:103)
According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir, this ayah is referring to Magic that existed before Prophet Solomon. Below is a Hadith narrated by Aishah r.a. pertaining to this topic.
“Magic was worked on Allah’s Messenger s.a.w. so that he began to imagine that he had done something although he had not. One day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period and then said, ‘O Aishah! Do you know that Allah has instructed me regarding the matter I asked him about?’ I asked, ‘ What is that, O Allah’s Messenger?’ He said, ‘Two men came to me; one of them sat near my head and the other sat near my feet. One of them asked his companion, ‘What is the disease of this man?’ The other replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic’. The first one asked, ‘Who has worked magic on him?’ The other replied, ‘Labid bin Al-A’sam, a Jew from the tribe of Bani Zuraiq.’ The (first one asked), ‘With what has it been done?’ The other replied, ‘With a comb and the hair stuck to it and a skin of the pollen of a male date-palm tree.’ The first one asked, ‘Where is it?’ The other replied, ‘In the well of Dharwan.’ Then the Prophet s.a.w. went along with some of his Companions to the well and looked at that, and there were date-palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, ‘By Allah, the water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna leaves, and its date-palms were like the heads of devils.’ I said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger! Did you take those materials out?’ He said, ‘No! As for me, Allah has healed me and cured me and I was afraid that (by letting it know to the people) I would spread evil among them. The he ordered the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled up with earth. (Recorded by Imam Al-Bukhari)
Zakir, I hope the above will provide answers to the questions pertaining to this topic. You may like to read my earlier posts about Magic.

Finally, All the best in your up-comming marriage. May it be a happy one, bringing lots of love and sunshines with several little ones, gifts from Allah s.w.t., in the years to come.
Ibn Kathir wrote splendid explainary to the above quoted Ayah from the Qur’an, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:103. Now in the market, there is a set of 10 volumes on the abridged Tafsir Ibn Kathir translated in English published and distributed by Darussalam.
The tafsir was abridged by a group of scholars under the supervision of Shaykh Safi-Ur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri from the Islamic University Al-Madina Al-Munawwara, who wrote the First Prize Winner Book, Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar - Biography of the Noble Prophet). It is worth buying the set of Tafsir Ibn Kathir to read the volumes. I have no regrets in doing so!
Assalamualaikum Sister 2jay,
Alhamdulillah Allah helped you.. I recognize a great deal of what you say. I’ve had incredible things happen to me since my divorce, and recently realized it might be black magic.. the heaviness, the buzzing in ears (my ears started oozing something black and foulsmelling, and I had recurring infections the doctor couldn’t understand), weakness, total changes in health, income, etc.. Alhamdulillah learning and applying the sunnah is helping, though I have not found someone who can read the verses over me, so I’ve got to go it alone till Allah sends someone, inshAllah. In any case, it’s gradually improving as I practise Islam more and more, but I wish I knew more..!
Best wishes
Wa’alaikum salam, Xen,
Thank for stopping-by taking the time to read my post, leaving with a comment. Alhamdulillah, I had recovered from the effect of Black Magic casted on me. I am no longer experiencing the buzzing noises in my ears. Since then, I have been adopting Zikr Al-Haddad after every sholat Subuh and Maghrib to protect me from evils. Perhaps you would like to adopt the Zikr too. The Zikr is now made available in a book entitled “The Gifts of Imam Al-Haddad” published by Warid Press. If you are from Singapore, you can get the book from Darul Arqam Book Shop costing S$8.00. The Zikr was taught to me by my Ustadz who currently teaches on the subject Fiqh, at Salem Chisty Learning Centre, Singapore.
Best Wishes to you, Xen. May Almighty Allah continue to protect us from evils at all time, Aameen, Aameen, Aameen.
i am nearin death many thinga happening to me
something stopping me frm praying workin goin out no interes in anyth feeling im buried
Dear Asim, DONT ever give up hope. Pray and ask GOD to give you strength and tell yourself that you WANT to live. Try to see things in positive way. For your info i`m also a black magic victim. My condition is quite bad but i`m determined to get cured. God is great, smile and do your prayers daily.
Dear 2jay, I`m just like you a black magic victim too. I was not aware that someone has has cast the black magic spell on me 2 years ago, until my condition became so bad. Had the curse removed, but it`ll take a long time for me to recover. I would like to know how long did it take you to recover fully? I am doing my daily prayers. I used to get bad dreams that someone is planning to harm me, then i actually fell sick. the dreams are on going. I know who is doing this to me. Hope to hear from you.
Thank you Manmeet Kaur, for stopping-by.
Asim, Manmeet had given you good advise. Do not give up hope and do not stop praying. Seek Almighty Allah’s help and protection from evils through sholat, du’aa and dzikir. Be strong, patience and have faith in Almigthy Allah that He will not turn down your supplications for He will protect those who sincerely and constantly seeking His help. Remember, nothing is impossible except Almighty Allah and none can be above Allah, the Most High.
Thank you Concerned, for visiting my blog and taking time to read this post. Indeed, the ordeal of black magic was terrible but the ordeal of punishement on those who practice it will be worst, if not on this earth, it will happen in the hereafter. For me, the recovery was slow and gradual. One need lots of patience and absolute faith in Almighty Allah that nothing can defeat the power of Allah, the Most High. It took me about five years to recover fully.
Yes, those dreams are very familiar to me. I had experienced them too now and then during the period of recovery. I would fall ill the next morning. Indeed, it was the work of black magic. I simply knew it, for the symptoms were obvious. The one who practiced it had used the Wind as means of transporting the spell on me, blowing irritating noises into my right ear that made me distress. The pain was unbearable and I used to instruct my husband to recite into my right ear several surah and ayat rukya from the Qur’an as Shifa’ whenever it happened. Simultaneuously, I constantly performed the night prayers and dzikir seeking Almighty Allah’s assistance and protections. Gradually, such happening ceased as days gone-by and dissappeared eventually.
For all the terrible things that had happened to me and for all the good things that came after those difficult periods, I felt that Almighty Allah had pardoned me of all my previous sins and given me a second chance to be a true Muslim. I felt that during those miserable years, Almighty Allah had given me the space to think and reflect on myself.
I went into deep thoughts and asked myself what I had done wrong in life to receive such trial. I realized that Almighty Allah loves me and had taught me a great lesson. Almighty Allah had given me the chance to ponder about this life, to understand the purpose of being sent to live on this earth and to realize of the past mistakes. Indeed, Almighty Allah had gave me the chance to repent and reform into a better person than I was before. Alhamdulillah.
So to those who experienced the same, be positive, observe patience, perform daily prayers with constant supplications and have strong faith in God the Almighty that He will help to fight the evil ones by His Will power.
