Re: Belief in Black magic
You are right to think of it as ignorance and folk lore that lead to the practices of satanistic cultic black magic, but that does not mean it is not real and does not have real affect. Have you heard of any studies that discredit it? And it will be impossible to discredit …
First of all, there is so much information that proves the reality of this. There was a psychiatrist who went in to an asylum to treat people believing that people were deluded and the notion of demons was just in their head. However, after some years of seeing similarities and patterns he concluded and wrote a book about why he was convinced that there is truth in that.
People have become possessed and there are many records of people remarkably becoming better without any medical intervention, but all medicine failed them when they were suffering. Details were not given by the holy prophet (PBUH) out of concern that would distract us from our important affairs.
