Part 6: Pir's! Potions! Talisman! Magic!

All in the name of love...

It is now clear of the growing problem in society of jinn possession with the use of black magic. More and more people are visiting pirs and aamils to seek potions and taweez  [talisman] to help them recover from either their psychological problems, or to help them acquire love, money, good jobs, or even to simply seek revenge on their enemies. These people often don't stop and think of the repercussions of their actions. Or of the physical harm they are causing others they perpetuate to love and care for. To even go to these fake pirs and aamils seeking assistance in causing the downfall of their enemies is even beyond comprehensible. I mean if someone has been wronged then seek your justice but do it through the courts or get arbitraries from both sides and let them be judges. Why does one need to stoop to such a degree of getting one possessed? It just doesn't make sense. What does religion have to say about this? Surely these kinds of actions should be forbidden?

Well after considerable research I have found that in fact religions do have an order about the use of black magic, or visiting pirs and aamils to obtaining taweez for the purposes mentioned above. Islam clearly prohibits the use of magic and warns people of the dire consequences if one indulges in this practice. According to the Shariah Law the punishment for the one who practices magic and sorcery is death, as magic is an act of inflicting danger leading to destruction.

"And from them (magicians) people learn that through which they would cause separation between a person and his spouse, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's leave; and they learn that which harms them rather than profits them. And indeed they knew that its practitioner would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their own selves if they but knew" 
[Quran,2:101-2]




The use of magic and sorcery is also forbidden in Christianity. It is believed that magic and sorcery is a road leading to destruction. Christians are told to stay away from sorcery, magic and every other occultist practice. The Bible warns people of the punishment for one who indulges in magic and makes no distinction between black and white magic.

"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritualist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your god will drive out those nations before you."  [Deuteronomy 18:10-12]

Black magic is widely used in Hinduism. They believe that magic was given to them by the Hindu Gods for the sake of defending oneself from evil and doing good actions. According to Hindu scripture there are many verses called the mantra and tantra to either perform black or white magic depending on good or bad.

 

According to the Jewish scriptures whoever uses black magic should be given the death penalty and this is quoted in the King James Version of the Bible which states that Jehovah required an execution of all those who dealt in black magic and sorcery. Although the use of black magic is forbidden and a punishable crime according to scripture there is an occult that identify themselves as the illuminati and they indulge in freemasonary which is a form of Jewish magic. 



 

Well in this post I have found that the religions do prohibit their followers to keep away from black magic, potions, and sorcery. Some of these people however argue that black magic is wrong and forbidden but they don't see white magic as being wrong or forbidden but these religions do not make distinctions between the two types of magic. Hinduism allows its followers to partake in magic, as it is a means of self-defence from evils and a form to do good. But this begs the question of how much good do people actually do using magic? Throughout my research for this post I have not come across anything which suggested people used magic to benefit others or to benefit their society. Magic has always been used to cause benefit to one self by destroying another.
