With Satan having new powers, the devils were now free to do whatever they wished. How black magic and fortunetelling became widespread?

To get more valuable Islamic content on a regular basis, please subscribe to our newsletter here Prophet Sulaiman endured this with patience as he knew that this was a test from Allah the Almighty. Later, when Sulaiman came seeking his ring from the woman, she accused him of being an imposter. As Allah had decreed to bless the holder of the ring to have many powers, all mankind, the jinn and devils submitted to Satan. Satan took advantage of this opportunity, came in the form of Sulaiman, and took the ring from her and put the ring on. One day, as it was his practice, before going to answer the call of nature, Sulaiman (alaihis salam) gave his ring to a woman called Al-Jaradah. Satan wanted to deprive him of this power. Allah’s revelation in the Quran about Sulaiman (alaihis salam) also clears the misconceptions that the Jews had about him that he was “just a sorcerer or idolator who was carried by the wind.” Prophet Sulaiman’s PowersĪllah had bestowed Prophet Sulaiman (alaihis salam) with certain powers over mankind, Jinn and all other living creatures. They are mentioned in connection with the events that took place during the time of Prophet Solomon / Sulaiman (alaihis salam) the wise prophet and king, who came after Prophet Moses / Musa (alaihis salam).

Quran clarifies the misunderstanding related to their role. Harut and Marut (mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah) were two angels who are known to be behind bringing black magic to this world. The events in this post are based on two Quranic verses of Surah Al-Baqara and Ibn Kathir’s writings.
