As per the Constitution of Pakistan, there can be no law that is repugnant to Islam. It is the Holy Quran that strictly prohibits Muslims from the practice of Black Magic in stricter terms than in the indulgence by believers from consumption of any addictive substance. Black magic was practised by Pharaohs and idol worshippers but is not allowed by any of the three monotheistic religions. Yet, despite this clarity on absolute refrain from the practice of black magic, it is being practised openly in almost all major towns and cities of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, at their outlets which are advertised. The practice of black magic is destroying families and the lives of ordinary citizens of Pakistan.
Are we living in the stone ages where such practices are allowed? It was shocking and repulsive that a pregnant woman of KPK had a nail inserted on her skull, presumably on the recommendation of a fake Pir or Aalim that this would ensure the birth of a male child. The poor lady was brought to a hospital located in KPK, in this condition, yet law enforcement or the government has not taken those responsible to task. If this insertion of a nail on the skull was on the advice of a so-called Aalim, why is he/she not being prosecuted for the practice of such an inhumane act, which Islam does not allow, under any circumstances? These fake Pirs have brought disrepute to many pious people whose spiritual guidance is sought by many citizens of this country. The immoral activities indulged by these “Fake Pirs” must be dealt with an iron hand.
