Abstract
The human soul interacts with and influences the outside world, and as much as it becomes stronger, its scope of influence extends to the outside world. This is the main hypothesis of our analysis in the discussion of the origin of Magic. Thus, the main question of the paper is what is the view of Ibn Sina and the Sadra School about the origin of Magic? In addition to the philosophical theories, we will get help from religious teachings to answer the question and prove that the nature and the origin of magic is the human soul. The research method in this paper is a descriptive-analytic one, which seeks to state that extraordinary actions such as magic stem from the faculty of the Will of Human soul, and that its influence is grounded in the laws of nature, e.g., the law of cause and effect. In other word, the spiritual power of some human beings is the origin of extraordinary actions like magic.
