Jinn and Shaytaan

**Mohamed_** · 08-08-2009

Salam aleiykum!

For first, I don't if this is the right place where I should post this thread. If not, please move it to the right one!

So, I have some question about Jinns and Shaytaan.

How a Jinn looks like when it's not a shape? I mean, it not look like human or any animal.
How can I see who is a Jinn?
What should I do if I meet one?
Does it attack humans?

And what are the different things between Jinn and Shaytaan? What are the common things between Jinn and Shaytaan?

How Jinn and Shaytaan contact to each other?
How to fight against Jinn and Shaytaan?

Not sure. Will read up on this tonight inshallah.

How can I see who is a Jinn?

The ones you'd be able to spot are those causing mischief (i.e the trouble makers) but they're usually in the form of an animal (common form is a snake) so there's no real visual way of telling.

What should I do if I meet one?

There are some ayats you can read. I believe the last few from surah Baqarah and some other ones. But, I'd advise you to leg it as we're not supposed to disturb or hurt them, but some of them try to disturb us. So it's best to just leave them alone.

Does it attack humans?

I think some can but generally they don't.

And what are the different things between Jinn and Shaytaan? What are the common things between Jinn and Shaytaan?

How Jinn and Shaytaan contact to each other?

I'll get back to you on that later (maybe tonight inshallah). Need to consult my book on the matter.

How to fight against Jinn and Shaytaan?

Read some ayats from the Quran for jinn. For shaytan, read the aoozu billahi dua.

If you have questions about jinn, you can ask brother abu_musab461. He made a thread 'Reality of jinn possesion' in aqeedah section.

Jazak Allah khair,

Before we ask these questions, really we should "how will they benefit us?"

I mean some of the things you've asked, i know the answer to (all praise be to Allah) but i dont see how it would benefit to know some intricacies regarding jinn.

Just wondering akhi.

Ah. I'm NOT trying to be on the Jinn or the Shaytaans side. I'd just like to know how the Islam thinks about them. And what Islam do against them.

The learn about the sunnah and be like the prophet (pbuh) and learn the protective dua.

I swear by Allah (swt) you will never do anything according to the sunnah except it will be opposite to the shaytan.

eg. The messenger of Allah said "Eat with your right hand because shaytan eats with his left"

"Don't sit half in the shade and half in the sun because it is the sitting of shayatn"

"Dont lie on your stomach this is the position of shaytan"

"Dont wear one shoe this is from shaytan"

"When you eat say bismillah"

"when you enter your homes say bismillah"

so really you should learn hadith and dua rather than learning about shaytan.

i can understand if you meet them face to face and have to talk to them or interact with them or give them dawah ect.

Like abu hurairah (ra).

But if you're not, just stick to the sunnah.
