How Do I Know If Someone Has Done Magic on Me?

Today, many people who experience unexplained difficulties ask themselves:
“How do I know if magic has been done to me?”

In Islam, magic (sihr) is real and is clearly mentioned in the Qur’an. However, the correct approach is to avoid fear and superstition, and instead rely on Qur’anic guidance and Islamic principles.

Every believer should remember this essential truth:

Magic cannot harm anyone without the permission of Allah.
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102)

Below are the signs that may appear when magic is involved, along with the proper Islamic approach and Vedat Gülmez Hoca’s Qur’an-centered perspective.

1. Spiritual Distress and Inner Turmoil

One of the most common signs is intense spiritual pressure and unexplained emotional heaviness.

A person may feel:

constant anxiety,
inner restlessness,
fear without reason.

These signs are more significant if they are accompanied by a sudden disinterest in worship.

2. Sudden Disconnection from Worship

A major sign mentioned by Islamic scholars is that magic often aims to distance a person from acts of worship.

This may include:

difficulty performing salah (prayer),
reluctance to read the Qur’an,
avoiding dhikr and dua,
a heavy, negative atmosphere at home.

Such effects align with what is described in classical Islamic texts.

3. Disruptions in Daily Life

Magic may manifest through continuous difficulties such as:

constant bad luck,
unexplained losses,
disrupted work life,
persistent family tension.

The person may feel everything is going wrong.

4. Marital or Relationship Problems

Especially in cases of separation magic, people may experience:

sudden arguments,
loss of love and compassion,
feelings of anger or hatred,
emotional detachment.

This type of magic is mentioned in Islamic scholarly literature.

5. Physical and Psychological Symptoms

Some people may experience symptoms with no medical explanation:

recurring headaches
stomach discomfort
sleep disturbances
nightmares or sleep paralysis
constant fatigue or weakness

These symptoms alone do not confirm magic, but together with other signs, they may be indicators.

6. Feeling “Not Like Yourself”

The affected person may feel:

“I don’t feel like myself…”
“It’s as if something is controlling me…”
“I can’t focus or stay balanced…”

This can be linked to spiritual disturbances caused by magic.

How Can Magic Be Properly Identified?

The correct Islamic approach is:

✔ Only an experienced, Qur’an-based, trustworthy hoca can identify magic.
✔ Methods like fortune-telling, tarot, mediumship, spirit-calling or sorcery are forbidden (haram).
✔ Diagnosis and treatment must be done only through Qur’anic practices.
