Question:
SLM.I would like to know the Islamic definition of magic as it has been asked a lot to mebecause there are many believers who ask about it but we do not know the answer, after a search to find out what is magic, we find some definitions as Universal Definition of Magic:The act of manipulating spiritual energies, making use ofany form of magic exists, regardless of their origin, through objects of any kind, actions or reactions, in order to achieve their own wishes or others;Magic is the science and art of causing change in conformity with Will.(Crowley). An introductory book on magic even quotes the example of the five prayers and the direction of the qibla, many magicians use it saying it is a form of magic, it is hard to see that everything involves magic, even to consider some magic technology, as well a others see science as magic.
