Black magic is the use of demons to receive their whispers in the minds of people (intended to charm them), so they imagine things that are not their reality. They may see the ropes and sticks as if they were seeking snakes. It may cause them mental illness. This may also cause a person to separate from one's wife. The enchanted person may fantasize about things that did not happen and did not do. It may also delude severe pain despite the absence of any pain or organic disease, which is what doctors call mental illness, and it leads in few cases to physical physical effects due to psychological delusion.

This magic was forbidden in the laws of all the prophets, and some of the later philosophers and Mu'tazilites denied it. As for the great philosophers, they did not deny it except that they called them earthly spirits, whether they meant the jinn or the spirits of the dead (i.e. what Westerners call evil spirits), except that It is not possible to seek help from the souls of the dead, as the soul has something in the world of the isthmus that distracts it from us, but the devils (i.e., the disbelievers of the jinn) often claim that they are the spirits of the dead, as happens to the burials seeking help in the graves of saints, where the demons speak to them in the voice of that saint to dress them in their religion.

And the summoning of demons is usually by means of specific spells, which magicians know as much as they know, and there are printed books available in the markets, and unfortunately some of them are sold in front of famous mosques! And magic may be to seek the help of the jinn to find out the location of stolen items, for example, or to find out the unseen, and this is called hitting the mandal, and it is also forbidden.

The polytheists claimed that magic is real and not just fictions, that is, they claimed that the miracles of the prophets are of magic, and this is a lie because all miracles are real, while magic is only an illusion as it was defined, so when the magicians of Moses saw how the snake swallowed their ropes and sticks on the face In fact, they knew that this was really a prophet and not a magician as they thought at first, because a magician, no matter how skillful he is, cannot turn the truth of things, and this is something that Pharaoh and his soldiers did not seem to understand.

Likewise, the Jews claimed that magic is true and they claimed that Solomon - peace be upon him - was a king and not a prophet, and as for harnessing jinn, birds, wind and dripping for him and many of his miracles, and from his possession that no one of the worlds came like him, all of this the Jews claimed that it was witchcraft and not a miracle, and they claimed One of the demons deceived him and took his ring, and thus he took control of his entire possession and ruled according to his command, and his wives came, and this is all from their myths, God fought them.

Because these apparent miracles are impossible to be magic, because magic is nothing but people's delusion of something that has not happened, and since Solomon's miracles - peace be upon him - were among the tangible things that it is impossible to deny, they were inevitable miracles that only the prophets are capable of, and they are impossible to be magic.
