Abstract

The concept of “magic” in two different religions is portrayed and interpreted in a surprisingly similar way. Magic has long been in existence in all cultures and traditions; it has preserved its impacts and importance regardless of such significant changes as civilization, urbanization and globalization. People in all parts of the world have had faith in magical beliefs ever since. This work provides a clear understanding of how magic is represented in two religions with relevant examples from reliable religious sources.
