"I'm scared of jinn..."

i think the problem with people getting scared is that there is a simple lack of knowledge!

The jinns used to be scared of muslims but because the muslims have now gone so into the duniya (world & materials) the jinns now realise that the muslims are scared of them, with time the tables have turned!

jinns are like humans in a sense where you get a group of men bullying one man, you could get a group of jinns bullying one human.

so yes you can be possesed by them!
jinns can take different forms,
they have strength, very powerful, have long lifes.

there is no need to be afraid of jinn... jinns are Allah's creation... so ask protection from Allah from them...

i used to be afraid of jinn, but now not anymore, coz i fell Allah always watch and protect me all the time... the jinn act always with Allah's permission, so what to be afraid of??

jinn wants to know whether our emaan to Allah is pure or not, like test us, do we really believe there is Allah, Our God...

I agree with saj1985, it is a lack of knolwedge that scares people. There are so many scary stories, films and programmes about jinn and stuff. Stuff like that is spread around to people soooooo easily but when it comes down to the actual knowledge- that there are angels to protect us from jinn etc, people just don't know.

you know when you say 'stories' that sums it all up for me,
even if the 'story' is true by the time you hear about it there has been so much added to it,
its blatant chinease whispers!

i personally think its this chinease whispers that freak people out!

just remember even if something happened to you because a jinn,
its because Allah let it happen.

GOOD and BAD is from Allah, as a muslim that is your AQEEDAH (belief)

She helped me out on the fields for years and would never leave him alone.. She would only join him once he would go out to work.. He always asked her to leave him alone and she always requested for him to remove the axe from his shoulder just once.. One day, out of frustration he threw the axe at her, telling her to leave him alone but before the axe could hit her, she jumped so high, landing on the top of the hill.. The last thing she sed to him before her permanent disappearance was "I am leaving you today but your coming generation will remember me"...

Who / what was she? We have faced so much as a family.. like my uncle was later possessed which led to deterioration of his health and eventually death..

Makes me think... hmm..

Can someone possibly post recommended surahs for protection from Jinns?

Salamaleykum

as long as u near with Allah (i mean you are piety and do good deeds) and after ask for protection from Allah..you have nothing to be worried about...:sunny:

Salamaleykum

i spoke to a scholar once (maulana, hes a principal of one of the daru looms in england), hes quiet a close friend of mine now,
he comes from a very pious family,
his father is a shaykh ul hadith (well known throughout england, india and africa),
1 brother is a scholar (maulana), and
the other is a mufti (maulana whose basically a specialist in a certain department)

anyways i asked him about jinns, and when i asked him,
he started laughing saying 'don't get slapped by one',
(me like an idiot started laughing lol!)
and he mentioned quiet a few things about them.

anyways i asked him if hes seen one,
he said hes seen them because his father used to do exorcisms,
but he has stopped now because hes old and to do so you need to be phsyically strong (also mentally/emotionally/spiritually strong),
but he also mentioned this that if it goes wrong, the jinn can haunt you and your generations to come, i mention this only because i notice you mentioned about the post about the generations.

p.s also you need be aware that black magic is a common thing these days.

pray these....
the last verses of surah al baqara (the cow - chapter 2),
pray at night and no shaytaan can enter your house,
also have ayat ul kursi at front and back door,
pray ayat ul kursi at night and the quls, durood shariff and all your kalima,
inshallah with the will of allah you'll see and feel the difference

try and get a hold of kitaab called manzil,
pray it every morning and night,
its got different quranic surahs and ayats in it, including ayat ul kursi,
is very beneficial for protection,
hope this helps you.

http://ibnayyub.wordpress.com/2007/0...-and-the-like/

hey i just found this link, download this ebook, its an electronic book of the manzil kitaab i just mentioned in the earlier post.
its from fisahbillah publications who are based in leicester who distribute leaflets/books and ebooks (electronic books) about islam,
a well trusted source.

btw its got an introduction at the start explaining what the kitaab is about.
its got arabic with transliteration in england and translation in english

pray morning and night, hope this helps,
remember me in your duas.

all i know is that HUMANS are the BEST creatures that Allah (SWT) has created and the ANGELS AND THE JINNS were COMMANDED to bow down to him (Adam)

im pretty sure that there must be something that humans equal out in the jinn.

you know what i mean??

It seems to me that it is the people who are fascinated and scared and excited by the 'other world' who are bothered by these creatures. I believe the 'other world' should remain 'other' and would ignore or dismiss any silly things like moving shadows or lights going on and off or whatever. 99.9% of the time there is a practical explanation. And amazingly, considering how rampant jinni are, I am absolutely certain that I have never had an encounter with one, not even close.

It's a terrible shame how people would sit around at night time trying to scare each other to death with stories (whether real or not) about jinn. End result = terrified Muslims, whose belief in God is adversely affected, because somehow they don't feel safe even after reciting qur'an and duaa.

so my advice is, have faith in Allah swt that He is your powerful protecter, recite the duaas of protection, and very importantly - don't repeat stories whose only purpose is to scare people.

assalamu alaykhum,

i found this thread interesting and just wanted to ask a question inshallah, i've been told that for every person created there is a companion jinn with them through out there live, can some one please provide me with the daleel of the matter if possible and if one was to practise islam would that encourage the companion to do so too?

Ibn Mas’ood said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘There is not one of you who does not have a jinn appointed to be his constant companion.’ They said, ‘And you too, O Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, ‘Me too, but Allaah has helped me and he has submitted, so that he only helps me to do good.’” (Reported by Muslim, 2814). Al-Nawawi said in his commentary on Muslim (17/175):

“‘He has submitted’ … he became a believing Muslim. This is the apparent meaning. Al-Qaadi said: Know that the ummah is agreed upon the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was protected from Shaytaan, physically and mentally, and with regard to his speech. This hadeeth contains a reference to the warning against the fitnah (temptation, trial) and whispers of the qareen (constant companion from among the jinn). We know that he is with us so we should beware of him as much as possible.”

How does one find out if they were assigned a good jinn?

Also, can someone please explain to me how it is at all possible for someone to marry a jinn? I always thought they basically lived in another plain of existence and can sometimes cross over onto our side. So how is it possible to marry one? And why would someone want to marry one?

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had a qareen also, however - this one became Muslim, according to the explanation mentioned earlier. We cannot say ours has become good or Muslim, since this is our trial as believers. The Prophet is protected because it is his duty to convey the message, so he is protected from error by the Mercy of Allah.

Thank you Qatada, I find this topic very interesting and I must say I agree with the main point made in the link you provided: to chose a mate of the same kind.

Yeah, that's the best and probably most safest option.




Peace.
