Doing black magic to make a person fall in love with someone
What should I do after enternaining the thought of doing magic to make a man fall in love with me? What if I did some magic? Should I give up all forms of beautification for my repentance to be complete?

As Salam Alaykum brothers
I wanted to know if playing games that contain knowledge of magic like The Witcher 3, or consulting an oracle in Assassins Creed Odyssey, does this entail shirk or kufr? Even if my intention is not to do these sins and i dont believe even a little bit in these acts, just doing it to advance in the game
For example, im pretty sure that killing in a game is not considered killing in real world, but knowledge of magic and consulting an oracle, i think there is more depth on the subject

Does magic exist in reality?
I hear and read a lot about magic in islam, but I've never known anyone who knows how to do it? Does Islam have some sample magic that one can try out? For example, I was given a Quranic cures book once, in which you can find many Quranic cures. One of them is this: ECZEMA: Recite ([Quran 23:14][1])...

Does Islam have some sample magic that one can try out?
For example, I was given a Quranic cures book once, in which you can find many Quranic cures. One of them is this:
ECZEMA: Recite (Quran 23:14 ) 21 times daily for 41 days in the morning and evening, blow on water and drink.
Is that an example of Islamic magic?

Will i be forgiven?
I believe I was 12 or 13 years old when I saw a TikTok about a whisper method where, if you whisper someone's name, they will think about you or something like that.

I believe I was 12 or 13 years old when I saw a TikTok about a whisper method where, if you whisper someone's name, they will think about you or something like that. I don't quite remember, but it was from a fellow Muslim creator. I didn't have much knowledge back then and didn't know that it could count as sihr and shirk. I don't even remember if I did it or not, but I feel completely lost. I believe in the mercy of Allah and am aware that He will forgive me, but something inside me just needs that clarified.

I have been told that my husband has been affected by sihr. I came home one day and i caught him taking drugs so i confronted him. He chased me in the house while i held my daughter and kept punching me in my face and hitting me. He smashed my phone and started swearing vile swears infront of my children about me. His family say its not him its the sihr but is it even possible for sihr to make you act like that or are they making excuses?

AoA, I often see jinns, specifically 2 hours before Azan of fajr. Suddenly In my sleep I hear there's some voice coming saying la ilaha illallah. Slowly this voice getting strange and it disappears. After it suddenly I hear some evil voices. I fear and then suddenly gets up but there's weight on me by which I can get up. I see a black jinn in front of me and my body gets dragged and my right hand gets up automatically. I start to recite Ayat ul Kursi due to which I feel severe headache and feels like someone is pressing my very strongly. During this I'm constantly seen jinn in front of me and I'm sitting but I can't move. I keep reciting Ayat ul Kursi or any ayat which come to mind. Suddenly everything disappears and gets to normal and I'm enable to stand. But still there remains strong pressing of my head and shoulders like someone is still pressing it until some other person see me. It always happens when I'm sleeping alone or everyone around me is sleeping. It's very painful and disturbing. I try to read Quran and offer Nimaz, but strong immediate reactions are shown after nimaz or Quran, Like Yawning and strange pain in my head and body. Please someone tell me what are these things and Why it is happening to me. Also tell me How can I get rid of all these things and return to normal life.

My mother went somewhere for ruqya and they gave this for adding to the water we drink. I am not good at reading Arabic hand-written like this. So I want to confirm if this is something from the Quran or God forbid something haram (in which case we should throw it away), as we don't really know the person who gave it to us.
It has been sitting in my purse for a while.
I know it starts with BismiAllah-i-Rahman-i-Raheem. I understand this much. Is that a Quranic verse after? I want to make sure that it is all Quran.
_____________________________
JazakAllah khair for the comments.
It has been indicated in some comments that it is not a part of islam that we write things on paper and add to drinking water. **But I do believe and have always felt that the word of Allah brings so much barakah in one's life. Also, I keep worrying that if I am not protected by Allah for less than a nanoseond (or smallest), shaitaan will harm me as he is such a shitshow beyond words. I feel a lot of anxiety in this regard.**
However, since it is not Quran, how and where should I discard it?

In Qur'an , it is told ( I don't remember exact verses but I am sure that it exists.) stating about prophet(s) like Musa ( Moses ) and Suleiman ( Solomon) that they came with miracles to counter magic and guide humanity with the message of God.
However, atleast in this progressing era, magic is (commonly) believed to be just a game of illusion and tricks. Many magicians and there tricks have been debunked. So , is a muslim necessarily obliged to believe that magic exists as something supernatural and it's not just visual and others type of tricking of gullible people ?

How would a non-Muslim differentiate between Magic and Miracle of Prophet?
Is there a differentiation between Miracles of the Prophets and Magic? How would a **non-Muslim** differentiate between Magic and the Miracles of a Prophet? The Person may think all Prophets were magician.

What are "divining arrows" in Qur'an 5:3 and Qur'an 5:90?
The Qur'an contains the following: > ... and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows** ... -- [Qur'an 5:3][1] > > O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work...
The Qur'an contains the following:
> ... and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows** ... -- Qur'an 5:3
>
> O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. -- Qur'an 5:90
I'm curious as to precisely what "divining arrows" is referring to.
**Question**: What are "divining arrows" in Qur'an 5:3 and Qur'an 5:90?
Google suggests it's some kind of magic, fortune telling, or witchcraft. This post gives an example of someone throwing arrows into the air, and where they land resulting in a decision being made.
But I'm still not sure what this "divining arrows" is about.

Are Jinns and Black magic real?
I’ve never seen any evidence of jinns or black magic ever no matter how hard I try to find something.

I’ve never seen any evidence of jinns or black magic ever no matter how hard I try to find something. There’s always someone debunking it or in the very few “supernatural” occurrences I’ve had in my life as I’ve grown I’ve come to realise that something else was the cause.
Is there any actual evidence that any of these things exist or are they metaphorical/references to some archaic practices in the verses they are mentioned in the Quran?

I already know there are some questions here and on other sites on the ruling of games and it's elements etc. But i still don't think i have found a specific answer to my question, so here goes.
Is the game Minecraft forbidden? You basically make a new world. Would that count as imitating Allah?
Not only that, there are also different types of things that questioned me, such as zombies (undead), witchcraft, enchantments, and different dimensions.
Please, i'd like a serious response, not those “it's just pixels on a screen that goes on-and-off” answers.

I was wondering because as a Muslim I know that no one can do anything beyond the means of a human but Allah and creatures he allows *some* supernatural abilities to like Jinn and Angels etc.
However - I am wondering why are their so many hadiths and things to protect you against witchcraft? Why should we even be scared of Magic and witchcraft?
In my mind I thought all of this stuff was fake and all pretend and make believe to fool the eyes using visual tricks. They have no real power to harm anyone or do anything using magic if it was even real. So why are we trying to protect ourselves against it?
Shouldn't we just brush them off as frauds and visual tricksters (my current position) or should I genuinely be scared of that stuff in my mind as something that is real and that can harm me.

I have read from a different post that ghosts do not exist according to Islam. My parents used to work at a kindergarten. They used to clean there after it closed. Sometimes music would randomly start playing without anyone being in that room. My fathers bucket of water would also fall multiple times. My father has talked to a ghost there. He said that he was killed over 200 years ago and has been there since. My mother has heard him talk to the ghost but she has not seen it herself. My father used to pray there aswell. He told me that sometimes when he finished the salah, the ghost would be sitting next to him. There has been other places my father has seen ghosts. At another place, there was another ghost. My father told it that he simply wanted to do his job. The ghost disappeared and my father has not seen it again. I am very unsure if ghosts are real. Is it possible that these encounters was part of my fathers imagination? Or are ghosts real?
Allah SWT knows best. May Allah protect us all.

I suspect somebody has cast evil spill on my son and his wife. Although they married out of their own willingness, their marriage is in tatters 1 year into their marriage. My son apparently didn't have sex with her for months and treated her very badly. She says she no longer loves him and doesn't want to see his face. Our family is close to collapse, is there an Islamic way to find out if sihr is involved? And how can I find a Muslim scholar to help us. I just don't want to get involved with people involved in satanic rituals who work under the guise of Islamic scholars.
*Please help my family*.

Can Satan or jinn do physical harm to a person?
Can Satan or jinn do physical harm to a person? If so, does isolation of a person help them to do that more in any way? Or is whispering to us to do bad his only act?
