The Origins of Magic, Jinn, and Amulets: An Islamic Perspective

The question “How ancient is Babylon?” opens the door to one of the most profound narratives in Islamic tradition about the origins of magic. Babylon is described as one of the earliest and most significant cities in human civilization, often associated with the first organized human societies long before the eras of Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Musa, and Prophet Sulaiman.

According to Islamic scripture, particularly the Qur'an, magic has its origins in this ancient city, where Allah sent two angels, Harut and Marut, as a test for humanity. These angels possessed knowledge related to magic, specifically the ability to access or influence the jinn.

"And they followed what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But neither of these two taught anyone unless they said, “We are only a trial, so do not disbelieve.” And yet they learned from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And they learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased it would have no share in the Hereafter. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew." (Holy Quran 2:102)

However, before teaching anyone, they issued a clear warning: they were a test, and learning magic would lead to disbelief (kufr). Despite this explicit disclaimer, many people still chose to learn from them. The Qur'an states that those who pursued this knowledge often used it to create division, such as causing separation between husband and wife, and that magic ultimately brought no benefit—only harm. It further emphasizes that magic cannot harm anyone unless Allah allows it, reinforcing divine supremacy over all creation. The scripture warns that those who acquired magic traded their share in the afterlife for worldly gains, an exchange described as an evil bargain.

Magic, in this theological framework, is described as a transaction—a business deal—between the magician and the jinn. The magician offers something in exchange for services performed by the jinn, but the jinn hold the upper hand in this exchange. Unlike humans, jinn do not require money, food, or material wealth. Instead, the price they demand is spiritual corruption: acts of disbelief, blasphemy, and disobedience to Allah.

According to narrations cited in Islamic lectures, magicians often must commit severe acts such as desecrating sacred texts, abandoning prayer, living in filth, or committing major sins to prove loyalty to the jinn. One reported account describes a magician who repented and explained how he was instructed to isolate himself in darkness, sit in his own waste for days, and progressively commit worse acts, including immoral acts with close relatives, before the jinn would grant him greater abilities. This progression illustrates that, within this belief system, magic requires increasingly extreme levels of disbelief and moral degradation.

Islamic teachings also describe the jinn as a diverse creation with different types, abilities, and moral alignments. According to a hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad, there are three main categories of jinn: one type flies through the air, another appears in animal forms—most commonly snakes and dogs—and a third type moves among humans, appearing and disappearing. Islamic scholars note that these categories are examples rather than an exhaustive list, indicating the diversity of jinn.

The Qur'an itself states that some jinn are righteous while others are unjust, and that they follow different religions and ideologies, including Islam, Christianity, and disbelief. This diversity mirrors human society. The hierarchy among jinn includes powerful entities called ifrit, described as among the strongest and most rebellious. One famous Qur'anic story recount how an ifrit offered to bring the throne of the Queen of Sheba from Yemen to Jerusalem instantly, demonstrating extraordinary ability. In Islamic interpretation, this event illustrates the immense capabilities attributed to jinn, though always within the limits set by Allah.

Another major issue discussed in Islamic teachings is the use of charms and amulets, often called taweez. These are objects worn or carried for protection or benefit. Islamic scholars divide them into two categories based on belief and content. If the amulet contains anything other than the Qur'an and the person believes it has independent power, it is considered disbelief. If the person believes Allah is the source of benefit but uses the amulet as a means, it is still considered a major sin and an innovation without basis in authentic prophetic practice.

Historical reports suggest that companions of the Prophet strongly opposed wearing such objects. Some scholars who examined large numbers of amulets—reportedly hundreds or even thousands—claimed that only a very small fraction, sometimes as few as three, contained purely Qur'anic text, while the vast majority allegedly included symbols, misspellings, names of jinn, or phrases seeking help from other than Allah. This led to warnings that many people are deceived into thinking they are using religious protection when, according to these scholars, they may actually be engaging in prohibited practices.

Statistically, the theological framework presents several structured classifications: two angels sent as a test, three primary types of jinn, and multiple hierarchical levels among evil jinn such as shayateen, marid, and ifrit. It also emphasizes a consistent pattern: 100% of magic is described as harmful with zero spiritual benefit, and acquiring it is portrayed as resulting in total loss in the afterlife. The narrative also repeatedly stresses that magic operates only under divine permission, reinforcing the concept of absolute divine control.

Magic, Illusion, and Mind Control: A Serious Warning

What about the ruling of this pretend magic? What about buying your kids a little box set on how to do little magic tricks and make the card disappear and pick a card, any card? In reality, this is something without a shadow of a doubt which is very haram.

Why? Because it leads to imitating the magicians, it makes somebody love magic, it makes them love magicians, it makes them encouraged towards practicing it, and at the end of the day it shows a kind of an affinity and a kind of a love towards magicians, and it is a step towards practicing real magic. So, it's not permissible for people to buy these kinds of kits.

Other forms of knowledge that are related to magic have the same ruling: fortune-telling, soothsaying, reading the tea leaves, reading the palms, astrology, a diviner or a seer, someone who says that I can tell you where your car got stolen, who's got it, I can tell you who did this, somebody broke your window last night, I can tell you who it is.

People who write horoscopes and so on and so forth, all of these things together are under the ruling of magic, and everything that I've said applies to them. Studies and surveys show that around 23% of Americans have used astrology to guide financial decisions, including investing or job seeking.

According to the Pew Research Center, about 27% of adults in the United States believe astrology influences people’s lives, demonstrating its continued cultural influence. Globally, astrology remains extremely popular. Surveys show that 31% of adults in the United Kingdom believe in astrology, and in some countries, belief rates are even higher.

In the United States, approximately 30% of people consider astrology scientific, and millions use horoscope apps regularly.

These numbers demonstrate that belief in supernatural prediction remains a significant social phenomenon, influencing decisions, relationships, and personal identity. Studies and surveys show that around 23% of Americans have used astrology to guide financial decisions, including investing or job seeking.

What about these people we see on TV? What about David Blaine? What about Criss Angel and all of these people that are seen on TV, and what is the ruling of watching them? It is said that some of these people use tricks of the camera and tricks of the studio and computer-generated graphics to do what they do. Even if this is true, it would be haram to watch them.

But from my experience and what limited knowledge I have, and Allahu a‘lam, it seems to me that these people are genuinely engaged in magic, and it is very clear that the description of the magician applies very closely to them, and many of the tricks they do cannot be explained away by tricks of the television.

Even if they were tricks of the television, it would not be permissible for you, because this would be something that is showing love towards the magicians, imitating the magicians, loving the people who hate Allah and His messenger, so it would not be permissible anyways. But it seems that they are genuinely magicians, the majority of them, and it is extremely, extremely serious to watch.

The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, said whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks a question, his salah will not be accepted for 40 days, and whoever believes in what they say has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wasallam. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2230 and Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith 3904)

Watching a magician on TV, according to the opinion of most if not all of the scholars who have answered this question, watching a magician, reading your horoscopes, makes you from the people whose salah is not accepted for 40 days. Believing in what you read makes you a disbeliever who has left the religion of Islam. Watching someone like this on TV, your salah is not accepted for 40 days, wallahu a‘lam. Believing in their magic and the way that they do things and their power, you leave Islam. So, it is a very, very, very serious, serious thing to do.

Sometimes people are lured into practicing magic because they enter into things like, for example, they get involved in tricks, tricks of the hand. Maybe it's as simple as putting something under the sleeve and it comes out the other side, and then they want more, like a drug addict, more and more.

It's not enough to simply make a coin disappear in the hand and appear in the other hand, then it has to be more and more and more until they go into things, maybe they go into a Ouija board or something like this, which involves calling upon the Shaitaan, and then once the Shaitaan gets hold of them, they go into it further and further.

Some people are lured innocently into the practice of magic by reading books in which it says try this, this is a particularly good thing, this will make your wife love you, this will make your husband love you, this will make your enemies hate you, this will destroy your enemies, write these things, say these things, do these actions. So, people come into magic in different ways. Some of them follow their desires for richness, for fame, for wealth. Some of them are overcome by their desires for the world.

Some of them are lured by steps, step by step, they begin by something light, they begin by tricks, they begin by potions, and then they get into worse and worse and worse until they enter into real magic. And sometimes people find this information in books, and they mistakenly believe it to be something beneficial and something good, and once they get involved in it, the Shaitaan gets hold of them, and once the Shaitaan gets hold of them, they begin to enter into real magic.

Because we are human, we all have special heads. Our intelligence allows us to be masters of our universe. A lot of what's happening today is in this realm, and it's very difficult for people to understand this. But when you study it, what you find is that a lot of the people involved in mass control are actually heavily involved in this science, and that's what you find out when you do the research.

Many of the people that are involved in film, many of the people involved in music, many of the people that are involved in use casting, they know how to manipulate the minds of people. And whether it's done with this type of magic or simply with the power of technology and the higher magic, the result is the same: you get people that are as if they're possessed.

It's very strange that they place these satellites at 22,000, because those are their numbers, 11, 22, 33. They like multiples of 11 and things like this. So, I don't know, I mean we're all trying to work this thing out, aren't we? But these things are real, and sihr, whatever you want to call it, it's real.

In the last few years, it's become much clearer to me how much this is actually a force working in the world, and it makes much more sense to me now why there are so many hadith and so many protective duas against this stuff. These influences of the demons promise or whisper, and they should become present. The demonic realm is real, and there are people, unfortunately, that are actively involved in attempting to bring that realm into this realm, and this is where it gets very strange.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Islamic narrative about magic traces its origins back to ancient Babylon and frames it as a divine test, a forbidden transaction with jinn, and a path that leads to spiritual destruction. It describes the jinn as diverse beings with varying abilities and moral choices, emphasizes the dangers of engaging with magic, and strongly warns against the use of charms and amulets.

The central message repeated throughout Islamic teachings is that while such practices may promise worldly results, they ultimately bring harm, spiritual loss, and distance from God, making them among the most serious prohibitions in the faith.
