2:102,103 MAGIC OR SORCERY
2:102 “ And they (i.e. the Jews) adopted (the black art of) magic (sorcery)
which the devils (amongst the human beings & jinns)recited in the
kingdom of (Prophet) Sulaiman (Solomon); and it was not (Prophet)
Sulaiman who disbelieved, but these were rather the devils who
disbelieved and who taught the people (the art of) magic. And they
(i.e. the Jews) also adopted (the art of sorcery) that was given to
the Angels Haroot & Maroot at Babil (the city of Babylon).
Nevertheless, they refused to teach any one (about sorcery) unless
they stated that they were a test for them and, therefore, they
must not become disbelievers (by adopting sorcery). The people
(despite such a warning) learnt from them (the art of sorcery or
incantation) with which they tried to create separation between the
man and his wife ; but the fact is they can not inflict any harm with
this (art) without the Commandment of Allah; and they learn that
(art) which is harmful and which does not benefit them. And they
surely know that who so ever purchased it (i.e. the filthy sorcery),
there is no mercy for such a person in the Hereafter; and how worst
it is with which they sold themselves; it would have been better if
they, if they could know (about it).”
