An effort has been made to explore how the black magic and witchcraft penetrate in the societies, why these are used and influence the masses. Since, the entire creature living under the oceans over the land and in the skies is created and controlled by the Lord and their destiny and fate is controlled by God therefore, it is forbidden to practice black magic and witchcraft so that the people may not lose their faith on God. Black magic is a knowledge which was acknowledged and practiced in ancient people who were the firm believer of this craft, but now it has being used for misleading innocent people by doing different tricks and making people believe that this is the only resurrection for their frustrations but, the repercussions are always dire. The main purpose of this research was to highlight and discuss the negative impact of black magic and witchcraft in the social framework. An attempt has been made to explore how Muslim community is affected by this kind of evil craft. This research focuses on many important aspects which include frustration, the existence of black magic, fake magician, opposite effect of black magic, unawareness of people, media impact and waste of time because of black magic. Now a day's black magic and witchcraft are increasing day by day and people are trying to solve their problems through short cuts by adopting wrong ways and methods and keep their eyes away from the realities and repercussions. This research was conducted in Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad Pakistan. The qualitative anthropological research methods were used to collect empirical data.

Someone asked form Neil Armstrong the reason of being converted into Muslim; he heard a voice on the moon which was call of adaan. It is understood that whatever the creature under the oceans over the land and in the skies is being controlled by the Lord so we need to consolidate ourselves with the religious knowledge which will save us from black magic and witchcraft. Black magic and witchcraft is the act of those who are uneducated people and unaware of anything. Black magic and witchcraft is used to remove all the frustrations, greed, hate, selfishness but people forget its consequence and black magic is forbidden and harmful.

That’s how infants are taken cared? What type of swaddling they do? Cradling? And other things. After infancy entering into early childhood how the child is learning the culture and the practices. Learning of value and the effect of the environment is also important. Different authors have given theories of personality development. And many anthropologists did fieldwork and tried to find the relationship between the child rearing practices and individual personality development. The personality building is one of the important part of life and it starts when a person is born. The different child rearing practices actually help in the personality building of the child. Every culture has its own child rearing practices and when we talk about the Punjabi culture, it is different from the other cultures. There are different methods of child rearing practices which have different impact on the child personality building. In Punjabi culture, the stages of rearing a child start from infancy where feeding, cradling and swaddling are the important activities. Then in early childhood toilet training of the child starts which is helpful in the personality build. The qualitative anthropological techniques were used to collect empirical data.
