What is magic?

The concept of magic exists in almost all religions and ancient belief systems. In Arabic and ancient Islamic sources, this concept is referred to as "sihr".

In terms of content, magic is a ritualistic tool prepared by the practitioner (sahir/sorcerer) through performing special rituals to summon metaphysical beings (jinn) and utilizing various items (bone, hair, candle, soap, special writings, etc.) in exchange for meeting their conditions.

It is possible to get rid of magic, but we would like to bring a few key points to your attention.

Deliverance from magic is possible solely and exclusively through operations conducted within the framework of the Islamic religion; other religions and non-Islamic methods can never invalidate (batil) magic.

The popular method in Azerbaijan of finding and extracting the physical magic object is absolutely not a solution. As mentioned earlier, magic is an object; removing it does not eliminate its effect. It might temporarily (for a few days) reduce it, but it definitely does not eradicate it. This is because the active force is not the object, but the jinn.

The ritual performed while casting the magic can only be broken through Islamic science; that is, expelling the harmful jinn coming from the magic is only possible in Islamic science.

It is not possible to be completely freed from magic solely by performing Ruqyah, but it is possible to temporarily reduce its effects. However, alongside reciting certain verses and surahs of the Holy Quran, drinking [water recited upon] and performing a ritual bath (ghusl) correctly and systematically for a specified period (mostly 45 days) can cleanse it by about 80%, which is noticeably beneficial.
