According to al-Hafid, there are four opinions:
First: that they will enter paradise and this is the opinion of the majority. Second that they will be in the outskirts of paradise, and this was mentioned by imam Malik and a group of other scholars. Third that they are the companions of al-A'raf (the Ramparts). Fourth that one should abstain from answering such question!
Ibn Kathir said: "The truth is that is that their believers (the Jinn's) will enter paradise just like human believers: this was the opinion of a group of our ancestors, and their proof is Allah's verse (In them are maidens with eyes for them alone, untouched before them by either man or Jinn) and an even stronger proof is (For those who fear the station of their Lord there are two Gardens. So which of your Lord's blessings do you both then deny?) Allah (S.A.W) has blessed Jinn and men by rewarding the righteous among them with admission to paradise.
The jinn responded to this verse with a profound expression of thanks to Allah, saying: 'We deny none of your blessings, O our Lord: and all praise is for you'. Allah (S.A.W) would not promise them a reward that they could not receive.
I say: Ibn Kathir referred to a narration by al- Tirmidhi, on the authority of jabir bin Abdullah (R.A) who said : The prophet (S.A.W) came to his companions and recited Surah al-Rahman (55) from the beginning to the end, but they remained silent. Thereupon he said: I reacted this before the Jinn on the night of Jinn, and their response was better than that of yours. When I came to these words: (Which of the blessings of your Lord do then you deny?) They said: "Lord, there is nothing that we deny of your blessings: to you all praise is due " Ibn Taimiyah said: "The disbelieving Jinn will endure punisment in the Hereafter, but the believers among them will enter paradise. "This is the opinion of the majority of scholars.
It was also said that they will be in the outskirts of paradise, where humans can see them (but they cannot see the humans); and this statement was quoted by Malik al shafi'i Ahmad bin Hanbal, and Abu Yusaf. According to Abu Hanifa their reward is to be saved from the Hell fire.
Ibn Abi Dunya narrated from Mujahid: "As I was praying one night, the shape of a young man stood in front of me, so I charged at him to grab him, but he leapt over the wall, then I heard him fall on the other side, and he never came back after that day.
Mujahid: They fear you as much as you fear them. So whenever you meet them. do not show you fear it will encourage them to attack you; attack them instead and they will run away.
Jinn envy humans
Ibn al- Qayyim said: "The evil eye is two types: One of jinn and humans. According to an authentic Hadith from Umm Salama (R.A) the prophet (S.A.W) saw s maid in her house, whose face had a black spot; so the (S.A.W) said: "She is under the effect of an evil eye, So treat her with a Ruqya."
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (S.A.W) said : "The prophet (S.A.W) used to seek protection against the Jinn and the evil aye till the Suras al-Falaq and al-Nas were revealed. After they were revealed he stuck to them and discarded everything beside them" Therefore, it is clear that jinn can possibly envy humans, and I will show in my next book God Willing how to be cured of their envy.
Do Jinn marry and reproduce?
Allah says : (when we said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves to Adam' they prostrated except Iblis. He was one of the jinn and wantonly deviated from his Lord's command. Do you take him and his offspring as protectors apart from Me when they are your enemy? How evil is the exchanges the wrongdoers make! )
The Qadi Badr al-Din Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah al-Shibli said: 'And that is a proof that they marry to have offspring.'
Some scholars support the idea that Jinn do also marry, by referring to the following verse:(In them are maidens with eyes for them alone, untouched before them by either man or Jinn)
Ibn Mas'ud reported that the prophet (S.A.W) said "A group of jinn that consists of fifteen brothers and cousins is coming tonight so I can read the Qur'an for them. Ibn Jarir narrated that Wahb ibn Munabbih was asked whether Jinn eat drink, get married and die? He said: 'They are of different races: the pure race are in a form of wind; they neither eat, nor drink, nor get married nor die . The other races do all these things.'
Jinn are witnesses to the Muadhin on the Day of Resurrection
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri narrated that the prophet (S.A.W) once told him: "I see you like sheep and the wilderness. So whenever you are with your sheep or in the wilderness and you want to call for the prayers raise your voice in doing so, for whoever hears your call for the prayer, whether a human being a Jinn or any other creature, will be a witness for you on the Day of Resurrection"
It is for this reason that whenever Satan Allah's curse upon him hears the Adhan, he runs away as far as possible in order not to hear the call, because if he hears it, he will have to be a witness for the Muaidhin on the Day of Resurrection, although he is the enemy of the believer (so he does not want to be a witness for his enemy).
Abu Hurayra (R.A) narrated that the prophet (S.A.W) observed: “When he Adhan is pronounced satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan. When the Adhan is completed he comes back, and again he takes to his heels when the Iqama is pronounced. After its completion he returns again until he Whispers into the heart of a person (to divert his attention from his prayer) and makes him remember things which he did not call to mind before the prayer and that cause him to forget how much he has preyed.
When do demons spread out?
Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah (R.A) narrated that he prophet (S.A.W) said, “When night falls ( or when it is evening), stop your children from going out, for the devils spread out at that time. But when an hour of the night has passed, released them and close the doors and mention Allah’s Name, for satan does not open a closed door. Tie up the mouth of your water skin and mention Allah’s Name. Cover your containers and utensils and mention Allah’s Name.
Cover them even if only by placing something across it, and extinguish your lamps” In this Hadith, there are five commands: to stop the children from going out; to close doors; to tie the mouths of water-skins; to cover containers; to mention the name of Allah and to extinguish lamps at bedtime
The prophet (S.A.W) has shown the reason for the first and second commands, in this Hadith the reason for the third and fourth commands were explained in another narration: “Cover your containers and utensils, tie the mouth of your water-skin close the doors and extinguish your lamps; for Satan cannot untie the mouth of the water skin or open a closed door or uncover a container (And if you don’t have anything to cover your utensil) you may put across it something (e. g a piece of wood )” as for the fifth command its reason was shown in a Hadith transmitted by Abu Dawud, on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas (R.A) “A rat dragged away the wick of the candle and dropped it on the rug on which the prophet (S.A.W) was sitting; So it burnt a spot a size of a coin. The prophet (S.A.W) then said, “When you go to bed, extinguish your lamps, for Satan encourages such things as rats to do this, in order to burn you.”
Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah (R.A) narrated another Hadith directly from the prophet (S.A.W) “Do not let your children and animals out from the time of sunset until the end of the darkness of ‘Isha; for the devils spread out in that time.”
Ibn al-Juzayy said: “The reason why they spread in that time is that they can move more easily at night than during the day, because darkness gathers evil forces. From this context comes the Hadith of Abu Dharr, in which the prophet (S.A.W) said: ‘The black dog is a devil”’
Some animals can see devils
Abu Hurayra (R.A) narrated that prophet (S.A.W) said, “When you hear the crowing of a cockerel, ask for Allah’s blessings for (their crowing indicates that ) They have seen an angel . When you hear the braying of donkeys, seek refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates that) they have seen a devil”
Jinn telling of the whereabouts of the prophet (S.A.W) ( when he (S.A.W) left Makka) Ibn Ishaq reported the following narration from Asma’ daughter of Abu Bakr (R.A) “when the Prophet (S.A.W) left makka with Abu Bakr, a group of the Qurash led by Abu jaohl stood outside the house Abu Bakr .I went out to them and they asked: ;Where is your father?’ I replied: ‘By Allah, I do not know where my father is’ Abu Jahl, that vicious, raised his arm and struck me in the face so that I fell down, then they left. We remained three nights without any information of the whereabouts of the prophet (S.A.W) until a man from the jinn, came crossing the city of Makka, singing some Arab poetry; people could hear him but could not see him. In his verses. He divulged the direction and the place the prophet had stopped at in his journey to al-Madinah.
The devil’s shout on the day of the pledge of Allegiance at Al-‘Aqaba
Ibn ka’b ibn Malik: “When we pledge our allegiance to the prophet (S.A.W) the devil shouted so loud, from the top of al-‘Aqaba, warning people about the gathering of the prophet (S.A.W) and his companions. The prophet (S.A.W) recognized him and said to him: “Do you hear me, O enemy of Allah? By Allah. I will devote my time to working against you”
The devils gain hearing by stealth from the heavens
Ibn ‘Abbas (S.A.W) said: “One of the prophet (S.A.W) narrated that while they were gathering with him one night, they witnessed a shooting star (a flame) in the sky, so he (S.A.W) asked them: ‘What did you use to say in the Jahiliyya (with regards to such events)? ‘They replied ‘We used to say that a great man was born that particular night. And another great man died.’ The prophet (S.A.W) said:”Such flames are not shot because of anyone’s birth or death. But when Allah decides on something, the angels who bear the Throne make tasbih (expressing praise and glory to Allah), followed by every angel in the heavens, until the news reaches the word sky above us, where the Jinn gain hearing stealthily and inform their company. They give them the news that is true, but they add to it”.
“Aishah reported that some people asked the Messenger of Allah about the soothsayers. . He said: “They are nothing.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah sometimes they tell us of a thing which turns out to be true. “ The Prophet said: “A Jinn snatches that true word and pours it into the ear of his friend (the soothsayer) (as one pours something into a bottle). The soothsayer then mixes with the word one hundred lies.”
Is it possible for a Qareen to embrace Islam?
Dr. al-Asqar wrote: “The most that one can say is that a Muslim may have a good influence upon his Qareen who eventually embraces Islam. Ibn Mas”ud narrated, as transmitted by Muslim in his Sahih book and Ahmad in his Musnad, that the Prophet said” None of you is without a close companion from amongst the Jinn (devil). They (the Companions ) said: “is there one with you too, Messenger of Allah? Thereupon he said, ‘ Yes, but Allah helped me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not tell me to do anything but good.:
I (the authjor) say: The words of Dr. as-Ashqar - May Allah protects him – give a strong impression that any Muslim can influence his Qareen to embrace Islam; but it is not always likely to be the case, for it applies exclusively to the Prophet (S.A.W.) who was protected by Allah against any evil intention from the Devil. Therefore, whoever claims that the matter applies to all people must provide evidence from the Qur’an or the Sunna to support his claim.
‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab had strong faith, firm ‘aqeedah’ and was very attentive in the practice of his deen. His aim was to make the Devil fear him, but he could not influence the Devil to embrace Islam. If we were to suppose that a Muslim - apart from the Prophet (S.A.W.) - managed to persuade the Devil to be good, then the wisdom of the test and trial that Allah has set His servants through him would be annulled.
It is true that the Muslim might weaken his Qareen by the intensity of the membrane of Allah, by the practice of all acts of worship, ad by the recitation of the Qur’an, as understood in this Hadith, narrated by Abu Hurayra. The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “The believer controls his Qareen the way you control your mount in your journeys.” According to al-Haythami, this Hadith was narrated by Ahmad, and the authority includes Ibn Lahi’ah (known for his weak narrations).’
I (the author) say: The narration also includes Musa ibn Rawdan, who is not reliable.
The devils are chained up in Remadan
Abu Hurayra narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “When Ramadan starts, the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.” According to another narration, he said: “When the first night of Ramadan comes, the devils and the rebellious Junn are chained, the gates of Hell are locked and not one of them is opened; the gates of Paradise are opened and not one of them is locked….”.
The scholar Muhammad ibn Muflih said: “The devils are chained in Ramadan, as pointed in the Hadith – or the rebellious ones (Jinn) as in the second narration. It was likewise confirmed by Ibn Hibban and other scholars. It does not mean that evil will not exist then, but that it will be reduced because of the weakness of the devils during this blessed month.
Imam Ahmad took this Hadith t its surface meaning. His son ‘ Abdullah said: ‘ I remarked to my father. ‘but sometimes we see a man possessed in the month of Ramadan.’ He replied: ‘The Hadith was quoted from the Prophet (S.A.W.) in this manner, and there should be no other interpretation for it.’ Imam Ahmad did not try to find other interpretations for the Ahadith, Apart from those the Salaf (righteous ancestors) had made before.”
It is prohibited to sacrifice animals for Jinn.
All the scholars agreed that the sacrifice for the Jinn is haram; rather, it is form of polytheism, because it is not done for Allah. Therefore, it is not lawful for a Muslim to eat from it, let alone to do it. Yet we see ignorant people, in all times and places, practicing such evil acts,Yahya ibn Yahya said: ‘Wahb told me that once, in Makka, people dug a source (of water) and wanted to run its course, so they sacrificed an animal for the jinn (at the devils’ request so that they would not ruin the water in return) and fed people. When Ibn Shihab received the news, he said: “The sacrifice (of the animal ) is haram , and he has fed people with unlawful meat; for the Prophet (S.A.W.) has prohibited offering slaughtered animals for Jinn”.
Ibn al-Qayyim reported that the above mentioned incident took place in Makka, where one of the men were digging came out possessed. He stood quiet for a while, then he shouted: O Muslim people, why do you act unjustly towards us? Khalifa ibn Mahmud al- Kilani, who was in charge of the digging, replied: ‘But how did we act unjustly towards you? The man said: ‘We (Jinn) are the inhabitants of this land, and by Allah, I am the only Muslim among them; and they have sent me to tell you that we will not let you run the course of water until you fulfill our right.’
Khalifah asked him: ‘And what is your right? He said, ‘Your take a bull and adorn it with the best ornaments, and walk it through Makka – with celebrations – as far as this spot, then slaughter it and throw us its blood, its organs and its head in the well of Abd al-Samad, otherwise we will never let the water in this land. Khalifa replied: ‘Yes, I will do so,’ Then, the man came around wiping this face, saying: ‘La ilaha illa Allah, where am I ?’
Ibn al-Qauuim said that in the pre-Islamic era people in Egypt used to adorn a beautiful maid and throw her in the river Nile, until the river rose with water. But Allah abolished that Jahili practice by order of the person feared by the devil, himself: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab. So if that source and its likes had been dug by a man like ‘Umar, then the devils would have run away, and the course of water would have run without even a bird being slaughtered for the Jinn.
The man who informed me of this story was my neighbor, and I was his guest. He was one of the most truthful of men; he observed well his religious obligations and was very trustworthy. All the people of Makka confirmed his truthfulness, and they had witnessed the incident themselves.’
I (the author) say that the sacrifice of animals for the Jinn is still practiced today, by sorcerers who make contact with Jinn.
We ignorant people consulting sorcerers to undo a spell, or to treat a person who is possessed. They ask them to provide particular animals to slaughter and spray the “sick” person with their blood, and throw the sacrificed animals in certain wells - and the Name of Allah should not be mentioned when animals are thrown in a well. This is the slaughter of animals for the Jinn which is prohibited in Islam, even if the person who slaughtered the animals does not utter the word “Jinn”, because actions are based on intentions.
Anyone who slaughters animals not for Allah is cured. ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib reported that the Prophet said: “Allah has cursed those who sacrifice for anyone besides Allah”.
It is haram to seek refuge with Jinn
Allah qu0tes the Jinn as saying: (Certain men from among mankind used to seek refuge with certain men from among the Jin,, but they increased them in wickedness).
According to ibn Kathir, it means, “We used to consider that we had points of superiority over mankind, because they used to seek refuge with us when they attend a river or a deserted place – like the Arabs who used to seek protection with the great (personality) of the place from the Jinn and any other evil that might occur to them. Therefore, when the Jinn realized that mankind seek refuge with them, as they terrified of them, they increased their Burden of oppression, that is of wickedness; the Jinn became more encouraged to oppress them.”
Al-Suda’I said: “A man would set out on a journey with his family, and when they landed at a particular place, he would say:: ‘ I seek refugee with the mater of this river from the harm of Jinn to me, my property, my children and my herd.’ Au Qatada said: “When they sought refuge with them and not with Allah, the Jinn afflicted them with more oppression and wickedness.”
Ibn Abi Hatim related from “Ikrima: “The Jinn fear mankind the way that mankind fear them, or even more. When people of mankind stop at a river, the jinn flee from the area; but when the leader of the group says: “We seek refuge with the leader of the tribe to which this river belongs; then the Jinn would say: “They fear us as we fear them” so they were encouraged to afflict them with mental disorder and insanity.”
I, the author, say: To seek refuge with Jinn is a form of polytheism. Allah has taught us what to say, as Khawla bint Hakim reported that the Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “When anyone arrives at a place, and then says: “I seek refuge in the Perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, nothing would harm him until he moves on from that stopping place:”
Abu Hurayra narrated that : “A person came to the Prophet (S,.A.W.) and said: “O” Messenger of Allah, I was stung by a scorpion during the night.”
Thereupon he replied: ‘Had you recited these words in the evening: ‘I seek refuge in the Perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,’ It would not have done you any harm’
‘Abdullah ibn Amru stated that when the Messenger of Allah traveled and night fell, he would say: ‘O earth, my Lord and your Lord is Allah; I seek refuge in Allah from your evil, the evil of what you contain, the evil of what has been created in you, and the evil of what creeps upon you; I seek refuge in Allah from lions, large black snakes, other snakes, scorpions, the inhabitants of a settlement, and a parent and his offspring’. The Hadith was regarded as sound by al- Hafid Ibn Hajar.
According to al-Khattab, the expression, ‘the inhabitants of a settlement’ means Jinn; it could be any settlement even if there are no buildings in it; and it is possible that ‘ a parent and his offspring’ may mean Iblis and his offspring”.
Al-Qurtubi said: “It is clear that seeking refuge in the Jinn is a form of unbelief and polytheism.”
It is haram to seek help from Jinn.
The method of sorcerers is based upon seeking help from Jinn and devils, which is a form of polytheism, because this is seeking help from someone besides Allah. What is worse is that the devils do not execute the orders of a sorcerer until he becomes a disbeliever - whether by an expression or an act; and the more he is disobedient to Allah, the better he is served by the devils. We used to hear, when we were young, how a famous sorcerer used to have his sorcery carried out by the devils only the condition that he wore the Qur’an on his feet as a shoe, and even walked into the toilet with it. The devils even used to serve him at home.
This is pure polytheism, and the sorcerer knew it; but the sad thing is that there are some sorcerers who commit acts of polytheism without being aware of it. The expressions and encrypted characters that they prepare are acts of polytheism and disbelief in Allah. Because they are written in unrecognizable characters, and my even include some words from the Qur’an, ignorant person tend to believe that sorcerers only use the Qur’an.
I have examined many of those expressions, however none of them were free from polytheism. So the sorcerer who uses those expressions becomes a polytheist, even if he does not know it. You might see him performing Salat and fasting although he is a polytheist. May Allah protect us from their evil and wrong-doing. They are the ones who have lost both this word and the Hereafter; that is indeed a manifest loss.
Do Jinn ihabit people’s houses?
It is often said that a certain place or house is inhabited by Jin; could that be true?This may be true or may be false:The truthful side of it is that it is a possibility, and that it does indeed take place in the real world, as mentioned in Islamic sources. Earlier we mentioned the Hadith of the Ansari youth who returned to his house to find a Jinn disguised in the form of a snake, and this long version of the Hadith is in Sahih Muslim.
Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn al-Qurashi said: It is narrated by al-Hassan ibn Jahwar ibn Abi Ilyas, that Abu ‘Abbad ibn Ishaq ibn Muhammad ibn Talhah narrated from Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas who said : ‘Once, while I was in a place far from my house, a messenger came to me from my wife to say that she requested me to come home. I was displeased by her request, but I went and said: “What is it?’ She said: ‘It is this snake (and she pointed to it); I used to see it in the countryside when I was alone there. But I have not seen it for a while, until now.
It is the same snake: I recognize it by its eyes.’So Sa’d made a speech in which after praising Allah, he said: ‘You have harmed me, and I swear by Allah that if I see you again, I will kill you’. Thereupon, the snake slipped under the door and went out.
Ibn ‘Uqayl said: “We used to have a house in Adhafar - which is an area of Baghdad - and whenever people stayed there, they were found dead the next morning. Once, a man who was a muqri ‘ (learner of the Qur’an) rented the house; so we anticipated the outcome, but the following day he was fine. The neighbors were astonished, so they asked him about it. He replied: “Last night, I performed Salat at ‘Isha’, and read the Qur’an; then a young man emerged from the well in the house and greeted me. I was scared, but he said: ‘Do not worry, but teach me the Qur’an’. My anxiety left me and I regained composure.
Then I said: ‘What is the story about this house?’ to which he replied: ‘We are Muslim Jinn; we read and perform Salat, but this house has only been rented by wrongdoers; they gather to drink wine, so we suffocate them.’ I said” ‘But I am scared of you at night; could you turn up only during the daytime?’ He replied: ‘Yes’. So he used to come out of the well during the day, and I got used to him’. “
The false side of the allegations concerning the Jinn is in those invalid rumours, often circulated by people for their own personal interests. Here is a real story related in its true context by Shaikh Yasin Ahmad al-‘Id: “A man died in a village, leaving a beautiful, secluded mansion; it was very large, with many rooms, all beautifully decorated; it had a fountain built in the middle, with different, multi coloured statues that had water spouting out form their mouths.
The man had no child to inherit from him, so the mansion was left empty; but his relatives decided to sell it. They were hoping to raise a fortune from its sale; but as soon as it was put for sale, a rumour circulated that the house was inhibited by demons. The news spread far and wide, and became a daily topic of discussion. Anyone who wanted to discover the truth went to the house at night, yet returned convinced that the house was really inhabited by demons.
People avoided buying the house. The inheritors dreaded the consequences, especially when a man offered only the quarter of the selling price. But just before the sale was concluded, a brave young man heard about the rumours of the house, and since he did not care about Jinn and was not afraid of demons, he approached the inheritors and offered to clear the house of any demon for a particular sum of money. They agreed and handed him half the sum.
At night, the young man took a gun with him in case he needed it, and headed for the house. He rested for some time, then extinguished the lamp and went to sleep.
After a while, he left a hand pulling his cover away. He grabbed hold of the hand powerfully, and said: ‘Who is pulling the cover?” He heard a voice say: “I am a demon, and I need the cover or else I will have to wear your body.” So the young man let go of the cover, and heard the demon fall, hitting the back of his head. He leapt forward, stood on the chest of the demon, and pointed the gun at his head, saying: “Tell me who are you?” The demon was terrified and replied:” Leave me alone, and I will tell you the truth about my case.”
The young man said: “You may talk, demon,’ He answered: “I am not demon or a devil. I am a human like you; I differ from you only in the blackness of my skin and my unpleasant appearances.” The young man let go of him, and went to turn on the lamp, only to see a black; naked servant. He said to him: ‘Tell me, servant, what is the reason for your being here?’ He replied: “It was necessary that forced me to come here; I am a poor man, with no income, but with the large family to look after. I asked a man to find me a job in order to make a living, so ordered me to come here every night and pretend to be a demon, to frighten people away.
He told me to keep it a secret.” When the young man heard his story, he took him to the inheritors of the house to relate the story to them. Thereupon, they discovered that the man who had employed the servant was in fact the same one who had offered to buy the house at a much reduced price
How to chase Jinn away from a house?
If you are convinced that there a re Jinn in a house, chase them away by the following means:-
(1) Go to the house with two other people and say many times over three days:-
Unashedikum bilahdi al-lathi akathahu alaykum Sulaimanu an-takhraju wa tah-halu wa tar-halumin baitinah. Wa nashidukum Allaha an-takraju wala tukthu ahadah.“ I earnestly appeal to you, with the pledge exacted on you by Sulayman (the Prophet Solomon) to leave this house. I adjure you by Allah, to leave and not harm anyone.” You repeat this appeal for three days.
(2) If you still feel that something is in the house, then fill a container with some water, put your finger inside, put your mouth over it, and say.:
Bissmillahi am-saina billahi al-lathi lasa minhu shayun mumtayniah, wa-bi’izthati lahi al-lati la-tiramu wa la tudamu, wa sultani illahi al-manel’e na-tajibm wa bi assma-ehi al husna kulliha ah-ithun min al-abbalisa, wa min sharri shaiatini al insi wak hubu wa nub sgarru jykgu nyakabub aw-mussirm wa-min sharri ma-yakhruju bil-layli wa ma yakmunu bi hari wayakmunu bil layli wa a yakamunu bin hari wayakmunu bil layli wa yakhruju bin-hari wa sharri ma khalaqah wa zaraha wa bara’a wa min sharri ibleesah wa junudihi wa min sharri kulhi dabatin anta akhithun binahsiyatiha inna rabbi ala-siratin mustaqim.. Audhu bimastaza bihi ibraheemu wa moosa wa eesa wa muhammaddun min sharri ma khalaqah wa zara’a wa bara’a wa min sharri ibleesah wa junudihi wa min sharri mayabri.
‘A’udu billai mina shayatani rajim (Was-saffati saffan, faz-zajirati zajran, fat-taliyyati dikran, ‘ inna ilahakum lawahid, rabbussamawati wal-ardhi wa ma baynahuma wa rabbul –mashariqi, inna zayyanas sama ad-dunya bizinatinil—kawakibi, wa hifzan min kulli shaytanin marid, la yasmma ‘ una ilal-mala’il-a’la, wa yuqdafuna min kulli janibin, dihuran wa lhum ‘adabun wasib, illa man khatifal-khatfata fa’atba’ ahu shihabun thaqib.)
“Bismillah, We start the evening in the care of Allah; He has power over everything……”
Then you spray a bit of the water in every corner of the house, and the Jinn would then leave the house, by the Will of Allah.
Now you have the cure right in front of you; therefore, you only need to intend sincerely when you start making du’a (supplication) and seek help from Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and Earth. Beware Do not leave this true guidance and go to consult the sorcerers and their misguidance; they will subject you to more hardship and tribulations. We ask Allah to keep us always seeking help and relying on Him alone.
Jinn are less dignified than mankind.
Shaikh Abu Bakr al-Jaza‘iri says “ The Jinn, even the righteous among them, are less dignified in Allah’s sight than humans. Allah has confirmed the dignity and honour of mankind when He said: (We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them the sustenance things, good and pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of Our Creation.). Such honour was not mentioned for the Jinn, either in any of the Holy Books of Allah, or in the sayings of any of His Prophets. Therefore, it is clear that humans are more dignified than Jinn, and this is confirmed by the fact that the Jinn themselves feel a sense of inferiority before the humans.
So whenever humans seek refuge in them and request their help, they feel both exalted and presumptuous- a state which is not common in their lives - so they serve the humans and increase them (humans) in wickedness. Allah said (Certain men from among mankind used to seek refuge with certain men from among the Jinn, but they increased them in wickedness.). They feel weakness and baseness before a human believer who believes in Allah and His Messenger, and is faithful in his worship to the oneness of Allah. As for the person who does none of these, the righteous Jinn are better than him/her, and are more dignified than all the disbelievers of mankind.”
Do Jinn harm mankind?
Shaikh Abu Bakr Al-Jaza’iri said: “The harm done by Jinn to humans is confirmed and cannot be denied. It has been proved by both heard and tangible evidence and it is also acceptable to the rational mind. If it were not for the angels that Allah has assigned to preserve mankind, none of the Jinn and demons would have survived, because humans cannot see them and they have the ability to transform quickly, Therefore, there is no doubt that some Jinn harm people for different reasons, such as when a person harms them first by pouring hot water on them or urinating on them or jumping to their places without being aware of it, so they would avenge themselves and harm him/her.
Sometimes, Jinn harm people unjustly without any reason, as also happens among mankind themselves, they inflict pain among themselves out of tyranny, because of their corrupt nature and weak faith.
The young Ansari, in the ;previously mentioned authentic, had killed the snake, which was actually a demon that transformed as soon as the snake died. The demon in that incident avenged the snake and killed the young Ansari, who died so quickly that Abu Sa’d al-Khudri said : “It was not known who died first: the snake or the young man. ”Because this fact is so well-known and widely accepted, we do not need to add further evidence to support it. The incident of the young Ansari, mentioned in the Sahih book of Muslim will suffice. But I will relate another real life incident which my family and I witnessed and endured:
I had a sister named Sa’diyya. When we were very young, we used to climb a rope up to the top of the house., One day Sa’diyya fell from the top and landed apparently, top of some Jinn. Her landing might have hurt the Jinn badly, so he decided to avenge himself upon her. He used to come to her three to four times a week – sometimes more - and suffocate her. She would struggle with her feet, like a slaughtered sheep, yet he would only leave her when she was nearly dead.
He once spoke through her, admitting that he was punishing her because of the harm she had done to him on such a day, and in such a place. He kept on possessing her and torturing her during her sleep until he killed her, after ten years of unbearable torture. May Allah forgive her and bless her with His Mercy, Amin. This is an incident that I lived through and witnessed myself. The one who witnesses something is not the same as someone who only heard about it..
