Question

Which surah can be used to prevent anyone from Hindus or Muslim black magic from doing marriage forcefully. Please tell me any working surah so that I can protect someone.

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Answer

The concept of black magic has been proven through the Holy Quran:

‘Sulaiman Alaihis Salam did not disbelieve but the devils disbelieved, teaching the people black magic’

(Surah Baqarah, Verse 102)

It has been reported by Abu Saeed al Khudri RadiAllahu Anhu:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to seek protection against the evil of jinn and the evil eyes till Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas were revealed. After they were revealed, he took to them for seeking Allah’s protection and left everything besides them.

(Riyadus Saliheen, Chapter about the Funeral, Hadith 1015- extracted from Jami Tirmidhi)

With regards to your question, you should firstly ask for help from Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala and also to seek refuge from him by using the Surah Falaq and Naas mentioned in the above Hadith.

Only Allah Knows Best
