On looking back at my posts I could not find a single line where I encouraged any form of black magic or superstition. Can you point it out where I said that. Certainly Quran has healing power both spiritually and mentally and physically. For example black magic was casted upon the Last Messenger peace be upon him. He recieved the orders to recite Surah Falaq and Surah Nas to cure it. Do you remember the symptoms He had due to the black magic that was casted upon Him. For that kindly update your knowledge again. There are hundreds of forms of black magic ranging from causing someone a brief mental block leading to harm upto causing a fatal disease leading to death. Now tell me doesnt the Quranic verses help in treating the diseases caused by black magic. I do hope that you dont deny that black magic is a form of satanic guided ritual and do hope that you agree that it exists. If not then let me know and I will show you that from Quran. Also if you dont believe that balck magic can cause diseases and other bodily and mental harms then I will give you some authentic information about that as well. Also if you dont believe that there is a creation called jinn who can be good and bad and the bad ones can cause mischief and evil then do let me know.
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn [113:1]
From the mischief of created things [113:2]
From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads [113:3]
From the mischief of those who practise secret arts [113:4]
And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy [113:5]
Thank you dear Cheeko for responding. I do not agree that anyone ever had any supernatural power to overcome any prophet of Allah let alone the last of the divine messengers. Only and only Allah has the supernatural power and that is because he is supernatural being.
The prophets of Allah are mentally fit people and most reasonable and rational of all human beings of their time. The message they bring is absolutely rational and supernatural beyond human creation. This is their strength and what they rely upon. People may harm and kill divine prophets but they cannot overcome them by reasoning and evidence based arguments.
No prophet was ever sent to prove his divine appointment by any other means than divine message.
Word SAHR in the quran is used for deception and conspiracy. If you are aware of how world works then you will have no problem understanding what people do and how they do it or why they do it.
These verses are part of 16/98. when you recite the quran SEEK refuge in Allah from satan the rejected.
This verse does not mean before you get ready to read the quran recite this verse ie TAOOZ. It means when you read the quran you should read it for the stated purpose. And what is that purpose?
It is to seek knowledge from the quran which protects against harm. Look at 16/98 and see the context. Allah tells what is wickedness and then comes seek refuge verse.
Likewise the QULs are not about magic but conspiracies and secret plots people make against each other for political, social, cultural or economic etc reason.
The quran is telling us these thing people do so take care that you are not harmed by their these plots. All prophet were opposed by wicked leadership of their time. The quran mentions chiefs of people of noah, as well as chiefs of people of egypt and so are mentions chiefs of makkah etc. These people wanted to bring down prophets and their followers so Allah warned his people to be careful.
One needs to look at situations and circumstances the prophets and their people faced and what their enemies were busy doing. If one understands this then quran will make perfect sense.
The quran is discussing power game between people to control land and resources. It condemns absolute imperialism whereby one enslaves all others. It likewise condemns economic imperialism whereby some people enslave others.
It offer alternative moral or islamic imperialism where all rules are same for everyone and people are told to live like a single family searching, exploring, creating, sharing and caring etc.
There is no verse in the quran that say anyone has any supernatural power other than Allah or that Allah has given anyone any supernatural power.
The context of the quran is clear if one could see why the quran was revealed. The reason is same why the other books were sent by Allah to his other messengers.
Islam is not a personality cult but a rational explanation of universe in sense of its origin, how it was brought about and why.
regards and all the best.
