The origin of Black Magic

 The origin of Black Magic - city of Babylon 

Assalamu Alaikum dear Brothers and Sisters 

We all have heard about Black Magic - but not many of us knows where does it originates? how come people know about the art of magic? So in this blog, I'll be sharing answers to the above questions as described in the Qur'an.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Two angels named Harut and Marut came down to the city of Babylon. Where is Babylon ? It's in Iraq (mesopotamia) and is said to be the most ancient city, the first real civilization. 

 

-So Allah tells us in the Qur'an how did Black Magic begin. 

 

Allah sent down two angels with the knowledge of how to control or access the jinn and the angels were sent to the city of Babylon and they were allowed to teach anybody who wanted to study with them the art of magic. The angles also came with a warning which was "we are a test from allah so do not commit kufr by learning from us". They angels also said "whoever learns the knowledge of black magic they would have no share in the next world".

 

Nevertheless, the babylonians learned the spell which they would use to cause a fight between a man and his wife, would cause a divorce between them. Though they are never and were never ever able to cause any harm to anyone except by the permission of allah. Allah tells us that whatever they learned itself had no value except if Allah gave permission and they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. 

 

Now its interesting what the babylonians were learning was to try and harm someone else but Allah describes it as something that they would learn to harm themselves because they're gonna have no part in the Akhirah and what a horrible thing they sold themselves for had they only known.

Black Magic has no benefit unlike alcohol. 

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." 2:219

Allah also says in the qur'an that alcohol is harmful and yet it has some benefit, but the harm outweighs the benefit and as far as Black Magic is concerned there's no benefit, it's only evil. 

Those who studied it became the first magicians and all magic that exists today somehow goes back to babylonians. There are different school of thought, different arts, different ways, different forms within magic its not the one but they all originate at Babylon. 

-that's all with the origin of Black Magic. 

There's this thing that I also wanted to share with you and that is "Nothing happens in this universe except by the permission of Allah" so make Allah the witness of your problems and wait for his permission. Indeed, those who are patient Allah is with them and Allah alone is everything you need to prosper.
