When i was a child, i used to be afraid of dark and being alone in our house and any other place where no one used to be present. It was because i used to fear ghosts and their scary faces (which i used to watch in TV seasons etc). Now as i grew up, the fear did not go away. After I studied Islam, i came to know that there are no ghosts and the only potentially harmful invisible thing that is present is Jinns. And now i am afraid of jinns because there people here telling that jinns can harm humans physically. What should i do to protect myself from harm and fear of jinns?
Recite Quran in Arabic and in the language you understand best, some jinns aren't devils, they are good, and others are neutral, heedless and undecided, you never know, you may be a source of right guidance for them and a copy of their good actions may be deposited in your account and you may be pleasantly surprised on the day of judgement.

Have ghosts ever hurt you? If they haven't, you have spent all those years needlessly being afraid of nothing.

If I was afraid of everything I should be afraid of, I would be a nervous wreck, and probably do nothing in my life. I could get hit by a car, someone could stab me in the back, I could get harmful germs, there are thousands of things in this life that could harm me.
I give thanks that God has looked after me these last 67 years, learn to give thanks for several things every day. Thank Allah that you have not been harmed by jinns yesterday, and remember to thank Allah daily for all the things in your life.

I was just thinking a little more about the fear of ghosts, and maybe think of it this way by saying to yourself, I would rather be attacked by ghosts, rather than live in fear of being attacked by ghosts.
Say to yourself, I would rather be attacked by jinns, rather than live in fear of being attacked by jinns.
In life, I think you always become either more fearful, or less fearful, but you have to do things to prove to yourself that you are less fearful. When I was growing up, I was bitten by dogs a couple of times, and for years I was afraid when there were dogs around. Someone told me that the best way to react when dogs are around, is to stay fairly still and lower your hand for them to sniff. The fear is that the nose and teeth of a dog are in the same place. However, I did try, and the more I tried, I found that dogs just came up and sniffed then went away.
I know that fear is very real for the majority of people, but I also know that you can overcome it. Your life is in the hands of Allah, you just have to accept that he will not place a burden on you, that you cannot overcome.
In the spirit of praying for an inner peace that surpasses all understanding.

For the last eight and a half years I have been going out with the Street Pastor teams, until 3 - 4 am after the pubs have shut. We come into contact with violence fights and angry people, I cannot remember how many times I have stood in the middle of people fighting with the hope of trying to bring about some peace. I can only say that I experience an inner peace that is beyond my understanding, somehow these angry people take away my peace, and I seem to absorb their anger.
You already have the power to overcome your fear, you do not have to believe me, you only have to believe in yourself and believe that Allah is looking after you, Allah is more powerful than any jinn.

Brother Eric
I am always astonished by most of your posts since you always sound like a Muhmin (upper grade of a Muslim) but am perplexed since still you never embraced Islam.
frankly could you kindly, PLEASE open your heart what stops you from doing that ??

Dogs & Jinns can see each other and also posses some same traits. Jinns ALIKE dogs have the nature to threat people but if the believer is strong jinns become afraid of the people or VICE VERSA, like dogs if you run they will chase you but if you turn back and stare at them, they retreat.
Read Ayatul Qursi by which Allah appoints an angel to protect you through the night (hadith).

I am looking for a different outcome, I do not want dogs to be afraid of me, and I do not want to be afraid of them, rather we should all get to like each other. I can't speak about jinns, although I wonder if you could go for the same kind of outcome.

Thank you brother talibilm, there is no compulsion in religion, and I would ask, did Allah make a mistake when he made you a wonderful Muslim? And the answer is no, Allah does not make mistakes. So did Allah make a mistake when he chose me to be a Catholic? because I seem to have found a real peace through my faith.
Allah chooses whom he wills, it seems beyond my understanding, that he chooses us in different ways. But I sense that the purpose posed for mankind is this, how do we get on with each other despite our differences. If I take on board all the press on Muslims today, then I should live in fear of you all, but fear is an absence of love, and I don't want the barrier of fear between us.
In the spirit of praying to 'One God'

You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.
you can not trust Jinns, you don't know who is good and who is bad. And they are known for lying, and twisting the truth.
Of course we have our Muslim Jinn brothers and sisters. A truly practicing Muslim Jinn would not (afaik) approach a human. A scholar can correct me tho. They like to instill fear, so do not fear.
The more you fear, the more they like to tease you.
Meaning of Shirk according to The Qur'an
" Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah " or " distributing anything exclusive to Allah, to anyone or anything else "
Meaning of Tawheed according to The Qur'an Worshipping none but Allah. Affirming whatever is exclusive to Him, Him alone.
I am leaving this info on this thread incase someone needs it.
Islamic solution to schizophrenia that helps me.
I have schizophrenia but I have found the solution that helps me. There are times when this solution is too difficult for me especially when I am being overwhelmed. When things are easier, when the voices are not too much then I go back to my regiment. It’s important because it is a form of meditation that is very peaceful. My parents and family were also very patient with me when this all started, this was also vital. The important thing for me is that I was reminded everyday of God’s oneness. This really helped me because I was hearing terrible things about God.
The solution that helps me.
1. I Pray everyday
In Islam, Muslims pray 5 times a day. When this all started all I could do was prostrate and declare God’s oneness with my index finger. But things did get better for a while. I still struggle with prayers but I still do my best which does make me feel better.
2. I write to God about my life in a dairy.
My problem is that I forget easily the blessing in my life. Hearing the voices everyday makes one really depressed. But having a diary to God really helps me. Reason being is that I replace a negative thought process with a positive one. I don’t write about negative things in my diary. I talk about comics, good jokes, heaven, art, computer graphics, good deeds that I see people doing and especially my family and friends etc.
3. I Recite God’s names
In Islam, God has many names which relate to his personality. This helps me understand God better which helps me realize that God is with me through my sickness God willing.
The following are examples are God’s names
God: Allah
God the Merciful : ar-Raheem
God the Healer : al-Qayoom
God the Compassionate : ash-Shafee
God the Granter of Peace: as-Salaam
I was really struggling in the beginning and then I found a book of God’s names. The first name I read was (al-Muqmeen) God - The preserver of faith. To this day it’s one of my favourite names of God because I do believe without His support I would have lost faith a long time ago.
Please note: I try everyday to make relevant prayers by each of God’s names. For instance God the healer (al-Qayoom), Here, I pray for my health as well as my family and friends etc It really helps me find peace. In Islam we repeat God’s names as a form of Meditation. It’s called thikr. We use rosemary beads which really helps Muslims go to a peaceful place.
4. I also Read Quran/Surah Hasr
Allah is He than whom there is no other god Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He Most Gracious Most Merciful.
Allah is He other than whom there is no other god the sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), The Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (high is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.
He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or colors). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: Whatever is in the heavens and on earth doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the exalted in Might the Wise.
5.I also Read Quran/Surah al-Ikhlaṣ
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to none like unto Him."
6. I take Medication
I do take medication which really helps. I did find a psychiatrist and medication that suits me. I believe God provides relief that’s why I never forget to take my meds.
I hope that this information helps you and all those suffering from schizophrenia.
I've been attacked by Jinn for a long time, now. In the beginning I was very scared but now I am coping, mashallah. I know Allah is more powerful than them Alhamdullilah. That why it is Akunna Matatta mashallah. I am a good muslim and I have nothing to fear except Allah, mashallah. So take it easy, Allah will protect you inshallah.
THe shirky thoughts is messing up my ability to do homework i should just ignore them - yes.
But they make me FEEL shirky whenever i go into analytical mode or try to do exams.

nice one Bob, thats the way to deal with it!
and on a side note hope you dont mind me being a 'mirror' to you , it will help the jinn loosen it's grip on you even more for it takes advantage of whatever 'weakness' it can find in a muslim
basically to say 'i'm a good muslim' is in a way arrogance, now i know your not arrogant but saying that just may somehow turn into that; let me give you the reference where i got it from too; Shaykh Hamza Yusuf [ra] said that to say, 'welcome to my humble home' is an arrogant comment too because a person calls himself humble so i think this applys to any type of self praise
To have self confidence is good. You must have it because guilt is also a sin if taken to far. Doubt is one of the ways Shaitan uses on believers to make them feel guilty and depressed. There is only two options. You either good or your bad. I prefer to make a choice that I am good muslim. What is wrong knowing who you are?
Imagine you on your deathbed and Shaitan tells you, you are a bad muslim to cause the believer to fall into despair of Allah's mercy. Are you going to believe him? No you won't because you know you are a good muslim. You must have confidence in yourself or else Shaitan will use this against you.
The only one I try to impress is Allah, as long as I know this and not worry about what other people think, then I know I am not arrogant.
The thing that makes jinn scary for me is that if I could be invisible to an entire species (in this case humans), do you know how many practical jokes I would be pulling on them? Of course if I was a jinn, I would be Muslim anyway so I wouldn't do that... most of the time
