Sihr At-Takhyil (False Appearance of Objects)

Allah says:

They said, "Moses, will you throw something down or shall we be the ones to throw." He said, "You throw!" So when, they charmed people's eyes and overawed them. They produced a splendid sihr. And We revealed to Moses: 'Cast thy staff' And lo, it forthwith swallowed up their lying invention. So the truth came to pass, and false was proved what they were doing. 

So they were vanquished there, and they turned about, humbled. And the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves. They said, 'We believe in the Lord of al-'Alamin (Jinn and mankind), the Lord of Moses and Hārūn. (7:117-122)

They said, "Moses, either you will cast (something) or shall we be the first to cast (a spell)? It seemed to him under the effect of their sihrthat their ropes and stuff were sliding (17:65-66)

Symptoms 

1.A fixed object would appear to be mobile, while a mobile object would appear to be fixed for the viewer

 2 A smail object would appear large, while a large object would appear small for the viewer. 

3.The false appearance of objects: Under the effect of the magic of Pharaoh's sorcerers, ropes and rods appeared to viewers as real snakes. 

A magician would show the viewers a familiar object; then with incantation and the support of some demons, the object would appear in a form other than its real one

Someone told me that one day a magician recited an incantation and made an egg turn at a high speed.

 Another told me that a magician recited an incantation which made two stones fight like a pair of rams.

 These are all the tricks a sāḥhir uses in front of people in order obtain their money or display his dexterity. Sometimes, he includes this type sihr in other types. In the sihr of separation, for example, a man would see his wife in an ugly image, and in the sihr of love, he would see the opposite. These types of sihr are different from charlatanism, which relies on the rapid movement of hands.

How to revoke it This type of sihr is revoked with all the supplications which expel the Jinn out of a place, in general, such as: 

1. Announcing the A dan. 

2 Reciting āyatul kursiy. 

3. Reciting lawful supplications for the expulsion of the Jinn from a place. 

4 Saying bismillah; 

provided a person is in a state of wudhu' If you follow these measures and could not revoke the sāhirs tricks, then he is a magician who relies on the rapid movement hands; and not a sāhir.

An Exampleof the Treatment of Sihr AtTakhyīl: A Sãhir who made the Mushaf (copy of the Qur'an) Turn Around

Some time ago in a town, there was a magician who used to display his skillful tricks in front of people by making the mushafturn around. One day, he tied the mushafwith a string from chapter Yäsin (36), then tied the string to a key, and suspended the mushaf in the air. 

He recited an incantation on the mushaf and ordered it to turn right. The mushafturned right in a fast and amazing way. He then ordered it to turn left, and the mushaf would stop and turn left in a fast and amazing way; without moving his hands People saw him do it so many times until they were nearly impressed by his tricks, especially his magic involved the mushaf. 

What is commonly known among people is the fact that Jinn cannot touch the mushaf. When I learnt about the man's magic, a friend of mine and I went to see him, I was in my last year at high school, and I challenged him, in the presence of people, to do his tricks with the mushaf. 

People were surprised to hear of such a challenge, because they had seen the magician do his tricks so many times before. As the magician tied the mushaf with a string from chapter Yāsīn (36), to a key and held the key in his hand in front of the crowd; I instructed my friend to sit at one side of the crowd and to recite ayatul kursiy, repeatedly, while I sat at the other side and began to recite ayatul kursiy, silently.

 When the magician finished reciting his incantation, he ordered the mushafto turn right; but it did not move. He then recited another incantation and ordered it to turn left, but it did not move. Hence, Allah humiliated him in front of the crowd: Allah will support those who support Him (defending His religion) and the magician felt small in the eyes of his audience.
