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

Magic (sihr) is a reality mentioned clearly in the Qur’an. However, understanding whether someone has been affected by magic requires caution and proper knowledge. Islam teaches that healing and protection come only by Allah’s permission, and identifying signs should lead a person not to fear, but to seek spiritual closeness to Allah.

In this article, we explain the potential Islamic signs of sihr, common misconceptions, and the proper way to seek healing.

Magic in the Qur’an

Magic is mentioned in the Qur’an, especially in Surah Al-Baqarah:

“They could not harm anyone except by Allah’s permission.”
(Al-Baqarah 2:102)

This verse teaches two essential points:

Magic is real and can affect people.
Its effect is only by Allah’s will.

Possible Signs of Magic (Sihr)

The following signs are based on Islamic scholars’ observations and traditional ruqyah experience.
These signs can vary from person to person and are not absolute proof of magic.

✔ 1. Sudden Emotional or Spiritual Changes

Unexpected anger or irritability
Crying without reason
Persistent anxiety or inner unrest

✔ 2. Difficulty Performing Worship

Intense distraction during prayer
Feeling discomfort when hearing Qur’an
Trouble making dua or focusing spiritually

✔ 3. Disturbed Sleep and Nightmares

Recurring nightmares
Feeling pressure, fear, or choking in sleep
Waking up tired despite sleeping enough

✔ 4. Unexplained Physical Symptoms

Headaches with no medical cause
Nausea or stomach discomfort
Feeling heavy, drained, or weak

✔ 5. Sudden Decline in Life Circumstances

Relationship problems appearing out of nowhere
Tension and conflict at home
Loss of work, income, or blessings
Persistent bad luck or unexplained obstacles

Are These Signs Definitive Proof of Magic?

No.
These symptoms can also result from:

✔ Stress
✔ Anxiety or depression
✔ Health problems
✔ Life difficulties

Therefore, one should not jump to conclusions.
The correct approach is to:

✔ Strengthen worship
✔ Make dua and ruqyah
✔ Seek medical help when necessary
✔ Consult a trusted Islamic practitioner

How Is Magic Removed? (Islamic Methods Only)

Islam teaches that magic is removed through:

✔ Qur’anic Ruqyah

The most powerful verses for protection include:

Surah Al-Fatihah
Ayat al-Kursi
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102
Surah Al-Falaq
Surah An-Nas

✔ Dua and Dhikr

Repentance, salawat, morning–evening adhkar, and sincere dua strengthen the soul.

✔ Reliance on Allah Alone

No object (amulets, talismans, symbols) has power.
Healing comes only by Allah’s permission.
