EFFECTS OF BLACK MAGIC
Common arguments are different from the ones due to black magic as they are based on real and understandable issues that can be handled through reasoning and dialogue with or without a marriage counselor. The two symptoms previously mentioned are very characteristic of black magic. Black magic does not exclude real problems within the couple, but it will make it impossible to properly resolve them. Eventually, if nothing is done to stop them, disputes can worsen and end up in destroying the love within the couple, reaching a point of no return – especially if the couples’ families get involved. It is therefore important to diagnose black magic as early as possible to control its drawbacks.
In addition, black magic may be used to prevent the wife from having children or the man from having sexual intercourse. This may happen in various ways: the wife may have no periods or never gets pregnant, or she is victim of miscarriages after a few days or months of the pregnancy, or the baby might die before birth, or the husband will have no erection or will lose it when approaching his wife or even during intercourse. The patient in need of a cure must honestly explain all issues so they can be fully understood and resolved.
PREVENTING WORK / FINDING A JOB
In this case, a victim meets all requirements for a job but for no valid reason, each of his attempts fails. The job may be promised, due or guaranteed, but something will happen so it does not work out, or the person will face a lack of energy or ambition.
STOPPING STUDIES
This can happen in various ways: the student cannot think but only learn by heart; he will forget everything; he will get headaches whenever he tries to study; problems occur whenever taking an exam; he thinks he will succeed but his results are just below the required score, etc.
HEALTH PROBLEMS
Black magic may cause severe health issues. We have mentioned women’s sterility and men’s sexual impotence. Black magic can also cause cancer, hemophilia, diabetes, the failure of kidneys or ovaries, water in lungs, hair loss, eczema, Psoriasis (dandruff). Doctors do not understand their cause and have no appropriate treatment for it. The medical responses are:  “Nothing irregular in the body, everything is alright”. But the person keeps suffering. They’d say: “There is a problem but we have never come across such one.” or “It’s stress” and they prescribe anti-depressant drugs that create another problem without solving the former one. They’d say that the patient has such and such illness but they “don’t understand what caused it”.  In all cases, there is no treatment or the treatment is not effective.
APATHY
The person loses complete motivation. He will constantly postpone things, sleep all the time, start taking action on something but soon after give up, etc.
MADNESS AND DEATH
The person will lose his grip, doubt everything and everyone, speak alone, think they are someone else, see things, make connections between all kinds of things, etc. Regarding death, the person will be tempted to commit suicide and feel something is pushing them to a window, or will want to cut their veins with a knife, take lethal drugs, or throw themselves under a running car, etc. They may also experience very dangerous accidents and close escapes.
FAKE LOVE
The person, man or woman, is not in love with the other person but is obsessed about him or her, constantly thinking of them, and starts seeing them everywhere. The victim might think they are truly in love whereas there is no real affinity or logical reason for that person to be attracted to the other person. Often there is an interest in the person to marry the other one (the victim) for material reasons, e.g. money and/or the US green card. Sometimes, it is the interest of a third party, e.g. a mother, who does black magic on a wealthy guy so that he’ll want to marry her daughter.
SUBJECTION
The person will obey the sorcerer or the person who requested the sorcery with no questions asked. They will not resist or express disagreement to the sorcerer or requester. This kind of sorcery is used in many cases, e.g. to financially exploit someone; a wife who wants to dominate her husband, or vice-versa; a mother who wants to lead her children to happiness; or when a sorcerer wants to use someone to carry out his black magic. This type of black magic can also be combined with the fake love black magic mentioned above.
DISOBEYING CHILDREN
Sorcery affecting children mostly has an influence on their behavior and studies. The child will repeatedly get into mischief and will not stop regardless of punishment. The child himself does not understand what is happening to him and feels thrown into mischief and is unable to behave.
BLACK MAGIC IN THE HOUSE, WORK OR CAR
This goal of black magic may cause disputes in the house and car accidents. At work, it can also bring about disputes, cause a decrease in activity and result in accidents. Black magic can also be directed to any object, e.g. it may be the cause of car breakdowns.
DREAMS
The coming of black magic is often announced in a dream, e.g. the person is bitten by an animal, hurt by someone or falls endlessly. He may also see snakes, dead people or graveyards. He may also see the perpetrator harming him. According to Ben Halima Abderraouf, based on his experience, these types of dreams are always a sign of black magic.
INHERITED BLACK MAGIC
In this case, a child gets the black magic from the mother’s womb. This generally goes along with weak health for the child, disobedience and refusal to learn / study. The child may be very rebellious until the late teenage years. As it is not meant for them in the first place, inherited sorcery has random effects on children. On the other hand, if sorcery is directed to a pregnant woman with the aim of killing or spoiling the child, the child may become handicapped.
CONDITIONAL BLACK MAGIC
Black magic can also take effect only when certain conditions are met or events occur, e.g. the couple will break up after the birth of their first child, the husband will lose his job every time his wife joins him, etc.
OTHER SYMPTOMS

• Imprisonment: the person will never or rarely leave their home
• Loss of money: the person will keep losing money, or if he earns money, he will not earn any more until he has spent all his money
• Irritation
• Unbalanced personality: the person will constantly experience changes in decisions, ideas, or moods.
• Pathological doubt, fear and anguish
• Endless streak of problems and misfortunes in life.

People also use black magic to succeed in life, e.g. in order to get good a job, to succeed in studies, to obtain a drivers license, to win a court case, to attract clients, etc. This is obviously forbidden and puts one out of Islam, just as “evil” black magic is. This type of black magic is not discussed on this website as the people doing it are not seeking a cure.
