I've heard that people practice black magic via reading the Quran backwards, can a holy book be used for such evil?

Question

I really dont believe this can be the case? As the quran is so holy but someone told me that this is how the evil practice magic by reading the quran backwards? Is this true?

Answer

We are not aware of such a practise. However, should it be proven then it is Haraam to use the Qur'aan to practise black magic.
