Description:
Is black magic allowed in Islam? Do Jinn live amongst us? Can we see them? Is someone with Schizophrenia “possessed”? Will amulets and spells work? Surely Prozac will help?
Jinn and black magic are common in Muslim communities which account for many marriage breakdowns, splitting of families and mental disorders. Unfortunately, this area has many misconceptions which lead Muslims to even greater problems i.e. seeking help of 'magicians', Peers/“Saints” and amulets/taweez.
Also, genuine mental disorders are labelled as possession and legitimate medical help is not sought.
To help educate ourselves, IlmStoke is pleased to present this unique course covering:
1. A detailed and academic study off the world of the Jinn and black magic with Q&A and course folders provided
2. Medical insight by a Consultant psychiatrist educating us about mental illness in the community
