Bismillah,

Please post any information on possesion by Jinn and what respectable Muslims do to determine that a person is possesed, and what the standard solutions or paths to solutions are.

Please comment on what non-ethical/respectable Muslims do as well. 

I urgently require this information. I am asking for anyone and everyone's information and point of view.

When a person is possed by an evil "spirit" or soul.  It is a jinn.  The jinn that enters into the human being is a "soldier" or helper of Iblis (Satan).  Many people think it is Iblis himself but it is not.  Jinns have the ability to be disbelievers or believers (non Muslim or Muslim) and when one decides to be a disbeliever then he may become a helper of Iblis.

I do not know much about the process of getting the evil jinn or spirit out of the human being.  I do know that these people exist all over the world and that is it possible to be posssed and that it is possible to drive out the evil spirit from the human.  I would encourage you to see a local Imaam, he may know something or someone who can tell you more.

Bismillah,

JazzakAllahKhayr for giving the info that you have. 

Please, anyone else if you have links or direct knowledge of this, please post it.

JazzakiAllahKhayr.  You dear, you researched this for me!  I read the links, and forwarded them.  Thank you so much!

Waalaikum salaam Sister Herjihad,

You are most welcome.  I do hope the information helps those who need it.

�We have committed to Hell multitudes of Jinns and humans. They have minds with which they do not understand, eyes with which they do not see, and ears with which they do not hear. They are like animals; no, they are far worse-they are totally unaware." (7:179)

The above verse may be �allegoric�, however if the subject of Jinns having a �mind, ears, and eyes� is allegoric, then the same would have to be said for the humans mentioned in the same verse!.

�Say, "If all the humans and all the Jinns banded together in order to produce a Quran like this, they could never produce anything " (17:88)

Again, we see a �physical �description being given to the Jinn and humans together (producing a Quran).

"And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)! (37:158)

Why would the disbelievers claim that the prophet had a �blood-relation� (Nas�ab) with the Jinn?. Is this not a physical attribute!.

�O you jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the limits of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and penetrate. You cannot penetrate without authorization." (55:33)

Again, we see a �physical� movement or penetration of limits/boundaries described for BOTH species.

�The day will come when He summons all of them (and says): "O you jinns, you have claimed multitudes of humans." Their human companions will say, "Our Lord, we enjoyed each others' company until we wasted the life span You had set for us." He will say, "Hell is your destiny." They abide therein forever, in accordance with GOD's will. Your Lord is Wise, Omniscient." (6:128)

So if we follow the logic that jinns are not a ghost, but like ghosts. How do you enjoy their company?

�Recall that We directed a number of jinns to you (Mohammed), in order to let them hear the Quran. When they got there, they said, "Listen." As soon as it was over, they rushed to their people, warning. They said, "O our people, we have heard a book that was revealed after Moses, and confirms the previous scriptures. It guides to the truth; to the right path. "O our people, respond to the call of GOD, and believe in Him. He will then forgive your sins, and spare you a painful retribution."" (46:29-31)

If members of the Jinn race were present at a reciting of the Quran, and if these are �physical� beings as i have been pointing out�then the conclusions become very CLEAR:

Jinn and humans can look alike.

The prophet was unable to know that the Jinn were listening to the Quranic recitation except through �inspiration� from GOD in the verses above!.

The Jinn even made claim that they are aware of the Book of Moses and its teachings (a book with physical laws for physical people).

Here is the longer version of the same story again with more clues:

�Say, "I was inspired that a group of jinns listened, then said, `We have heard a wonderful Quran. " `It guides to righteousness, and we have believed in it; we will never set up any idols beside our Lord. " `The Most High is our only Lord. He never had a mate, nor a son. " `It is the foolish among us who used to utter such nonsense about GOD." `We thought that neither the humans, nor the jinns, could possibly utter lies about GOD. " `Human men used to seek power through Jinn men, but they only afflicted them with a lot of adversity." `They thought, just like you thought, that GOD would not send another (messenger). `We touched the heaven and found it filled with formidable guards and projectiles. " `We used to sit there in positions to listen. Anyone who listens NOW is pursued by a powerful projectile. " `We have no idea if something bad is intended for the inhabitants of Earth, or if their Lord wills to redeem them. " `Some of us are righteous, and some are less than righteous; we follow various paths. " `We knew full well that we can never run away from GOD on Earth; we can never run away and escape. " `When we heard the guidance, we believed therein. Anyone who believes in his Lord will never fear any injustice, nor any affliction. " `Among us are the submitters, and among us are the compromisers.' "As for those who submitted, they are on the right path. As for the compromisers, they will be fuel for Hell. If they remain on the right path, we will bless them with abundant water. We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution.( 72:1-17)

The clues which can be gleaned from the above passages are as follows:

1. Jinn could not be identified from humans when they listened to the Quran;

2. Jinn follow various man-made religions just like humans;

3. Jinn do not know any more than humans do (what is true or false);

4. Jinn have male species similar to humans;

5. Jinn have the ability (or technology?) to travel outside our known universe (logically due to their race being much older that ours);

6. Jinn have been BLOCKED from reaching certain points in space that they used to travel through before (this could be a 'mental' block on astral if not physical travel);

7. Jinn have believers amongst them, as well as rejecters (good & bad).

8. Jinn confirm they are �physical� due to the identification with �fuel� for hell.

In the story of Solomon, we are able to again identify major characteristics of the Jinn:

�Mobilized in the service of Solomon were his obedient soldiers of Jinns and humans, as well as the birds; all at his disposal." (27:17)

�One audacious from the Jinn said, "I can bring it to you (the throne of Sheba) before you stand up. I am powerful and am to be trusted to do this." (27:39)

�To Solomon we committed the wind at his disposal, traveling one month coming and one month going. And we caused a spring of oil to gush out for him. Also, the Jinns worked for him, by his Lord's leave. Any one of them who disregarded our commands, we subjected him to a severe retribution. They made for him anything he wanted-niches, statues, deep pools, and heavy cooking pots. O family of David, work (righteousness) to show your appreciation. Only a few of My servants are appreciative. When the appointed time for his death came, they had no clue that he had died. Not until one of the animals tried to eat his staff, and he fell down, did the Jinns realized that he was dead. They thus realized that had they known the unseen, they would have stopped working so hard as soon as he died. (34:12-14)

1. Physical beings able to make part of an army;

2. Technological or Telepathic ability allows the transfer of large, bulky items across physical space;

3. Posses artistic as well as construction abilities;

4. Unable to know future events just like humans.

And so on and so forth. There are a massive amount of evidence in the Quran for what i claim. And this:

"..When the appointed time for his death came, they had no clue that he had died. Not until one of the animals tried to eat his staff, and he fell down, did the Jinns realized that he was dead. They thus realized that had they known the unseen..."

Bismillah,

Do Jinn have certain doorways that make it easier for them to harm people?  Why would there be certain places, like Maryland, for example, where a person who has been affected by Jinn, is more likely to be attacked?  What a horrible ruse to get someone to stay away from a place to say that this place is dangerous for you because the Jinn have reached you there and will have more power over you there.  Has anyone heard of these "exorcists"?

I think that prayer should protect us from evil, and that shysters and control freaks use the "Science of Jinns" to misdirect people.

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

assalamu alaikum

There are adifferent types of jinn, each person on this earth has a companion from among the shaytan attached to him this is by the leave of allah and we can not get rid of him, this type is not what poseses people as in your case there manily there for waswasa.

if you listen to the lectures i gave a link to you will find out about other types and what they do, basicaly they are around us and interact with us in many of our actions. They wait for opertunaties to open up for them and they take advantage and try to turn a uncomfertable situation into something worse.

Eg is you may get upset over something or with someone but you are in control the shaytan sees this desire/anger in you and comes and tries to make it worse by making you think certain things.

Shaytan can not read our thoughts but they do know our desires, it is this element in us which is the doorway if you like for them to manipulate us how they like, this is the opertunaty they look for and take advantage of.

the only way to free our selves from them is to control our base desires through tzkiyah an nafs or taharah an anfs, which basicaly means to cleans our self of bad qualities and replace them with good qualities. This closes the door for them on manipulating us, as we draw closer to allah step by step shaytan has lesser and lesser opertunaties to attack us.

This is a main aspect of why we pray, fast, pay zakkat go on hajj. its so we are not attached to what is in this world as atachment is what causes desire for something which is what shaytan wants.

You do not just pray, pay zakkat, fast go on hajj and out of nothing but simple actions with out a purpose or intention cure your self or strengthen your inner self against shaytan you have to have the right intention and for that you need knowledge of what the purpose of these 5 things are.

I strongly recomend you read Imam al Ghazali's Inner dimensions of Islamic worship its a small book whcih deals with why we pray, fast, pay zakkat, go on hajj. Becouse Allah comanded us is not a correct answer and is the reality of why our ummah has sunk to the depths we are in today.

we are instructed to perform them but an action without intention is not worth much, Rasul Allah (sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam) said Everything is according to intention and Allah gives according to your intention. Imam Bukhari began his sahih with this very hadith becouse of its importance and its implication in every action in our life.

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Assalamu Alykom Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakato

Dear brothers & sisters,

It's a well known fact for every muslim who raeds the quran that Allah mentioned Jinn more than once,and that Jinn were mentioned in the Sunnah as well,and bottom line they do exist and moreover they can interfere with our lifes ,they can even cause a lot of sicknesses but ofcourse after the permission of Allah ,and here is the thing .....Yes Jinn and demonic possession and Magic do exist but they don't effect the human being unless God permit that,and God let that effect as a test for the faith of the Muslim and see what type of believer the Muslim is.

Always remmember that Quraan and Sunnah are the only & biggest fortresses that a Muslim  can shelter within, & anything other than that will  lead to the total misleading of the muslim and will cause the total destruction of his/her life and fate.

For any more information or any support please contact me & don't forget me in your prayers.

What your saying is true, however, the last prophet (PBUH) was also afflicted with magic by a jew if you can recall. I believe I read something previously that informed me that there were a few surahs in the Qur'an that were revealed to the last prophet (PBUH) specifically for magic. So this is a test for me maybe, i do not know for sure, what I do know is that i must keep strong faith and Iman and also keep continuing to seek solutions that can defuse my situation.

Rami, having complete faith and strong Iman is one thing. I have said before that I am working on strengthening all aspects of these areas. Though I believe these qualities are big and useful in my situation I do not believe that these alone will solve problems, since Allah gave us the will power to act to help ourselves too. Though you have given great advice I do believe your solution to the problem is just "part" of the solution rather the solution as a whole. Reality is it's not really easy to get rid of a problem such as mine, i've been with this stuff for approximately 9 years. Having strong Iman is a very blessed thing to have. Put it this way, if you just have Iman soley in this life, will it take you to Heaven in the hereafter? I don't think so, Iman along side with action.. salat, zakaat, hajj, rosa are also required. The approach your giving me is one where I have to strengthen areas of iman and action and how to do it right, and classifying the heart. Once more, these are how to "better" oneself in practicing Islam. Though it may play a major role in solving my problem, I believe it doesn't play a complete role. As I have stated before, I do these things already and I believe a lot of good muslims have Iman out there, but keep in mind no one is perfect. People try to better themselves and this is a good quality to have as a Muslims since Allah knows intentions of the person. Someone once taught me that If you move one step towards Allah, Allah will move 10 steps towards you. He is Almight All Wise, All Merciful.

Note: Becoming obsessive with this is not the way people who are ill percieve this problem rather the illness forces people to experience it in their everyday of their lives whether or not the person tries to ignore it.

Bismillah,

The surahs are Al-Falaq and An-Nass are the ones that you are referring to, Enoch.  With your strong belief and faith I would suggest that you recite these and make Dhikr at the most difficult times.  Well, really anytime.  It is also helpful to just say:  I seek protection from Shaytan the rejected one with Allah.  Having something quick and short to say in stressful times can avert difficulty.  We all will pray for you, ISA.

yeap those two are it. That's a nice name you have there, my sister named her newborn son Isa also. Thank you for your prayers brother. I too shall ask Allah to help those who help other fellow muslims. Amen.

My Brothers in faith,

Angels don't have the characteristics of devils, and devils do not have the characteristics of angels, but humans can have the characteristics of both.

Every human being born to this earth has been given a companion, namely angel and jinn. The jinn who accompanies humans from birth is to tempt and mislead humans, therefore, this jinn is called a devil.

Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam said:

ما منكم من �£حد إلاوقد وكل به قرينه من الجن

“Every one of you has been sent to him a "qorin" (companion) from the jinn.”

(Narrated by: Muslim)

Imam An-Nawawi said, "In this hadith there is a strong warning against the temptations of the jinns and their whispers. The Prophet Shallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam told that jinn was always with us, and we must always be vigilant as much as you can." (Syarh Shahih Muslim, 17: 158)

Based on the Quran and sunnah, it can be concluded that the jinn who are always with us are misleading, disturbing, and also whispering anxiety. The temptation of this jinn will weaken according to the strength of faith in a person. And the way to protect ourselves from the jinn is by means of many dhikr and asking for protection from Allah, and if we truly do this, Insya Allah, there will come protection from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah said:

 وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

“And if an evil whisper comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.” (Al A’Raf 7:200)

In addition to dhikr, we also often read the Quran so that jinn do not interfere.

 وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ

 “And whosoever turns away blindly from the remembrance of the Most Gracious Allah (The Quran and worship to Allah), We appoint for him satan to be a Qarin (a companion) to him.” (Az-Zuhruf 43:36)

On that basis, we must be able to equip ourselves continuously in order to have a powerful weapon to fight and dispel the internal enemies of humans.

Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam said:

"A mujahid / fighter is one who is able to strive to subdue his passions to obey Allah's commands.”

(Narrated by: Bukhari and Muslim )
