Prohibited. Black magic does exist but is a sin(haram) to practise.
Yes, black magic is considered haram (forbidden) in Islam as it involves seeking help from supernatural beings other than Allah and goes against the teachings of the Quran.

Faith in magic is very important and it is what influences all your magic activities. Its like those who believe in christianity, Islam etc, without faith you can't believe and if you don't believe that means you can't practice magic.

Yes Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson converted to Islam as he thought it was a peaceful religion.
Non-Muslim PerspectiveIt seems to be because witchcraft is banned. Also, if you are trusting in magic, you are not putting all of your trust in Allah. The Old Testament makes it clear that nobody is to practice witchcraft. In Christian circles, there is a debate about what witchcraft as banned in Scriptures is. For instance, some believe it only refers to someone who creates potions to poison others. So they would take "suffer not a witch to live" to be directed at those who poison others.
Indeed they are. Check the Quran for references (Surah Baqarah, Taha, Su'araa) and check the hadith literature concerning black magic in Bukhari, Muslim, and Tirmidhi. Whoever wants to improve this answer MUST PROVIDE REFERENCES!

It was a fusion of Islam and traditional African religion - religion that involved magic, animism, etc. Even when Islam dominated, aspects of tribal African religion remained with legends of genies and accounts of magic.
Answer 1No difference. Both follow the same Islam fundamentals and same Islam morals. see questions below.Answer 2Generally speaking, Answer 1 is correct. However, there are large swathes of syncretic African religions that incorporate major tenets of one faith with practices of other faiths. Islam is just as susceptible to this hybridization as Christianity and indigenous Animist faiths. For example, such an African Muslim might believe that the spirits of his ancestors can be invoked by a magic potion while still believing that Mohammed is the final prophet. This, however, would not be considered proper in Arab Islam.
