as soon as this person found out we shouldnt intentionally be in contact we ceased all lines of communication.
so my belief in them is pretty strong lol.
Assalamu Alaikum
This reminds me of something that I experienced in my days of Jahaliyah. MY parents were going through a hard time and during that time I visited Pakistan. My aunt took me to a man who had a jinn. The man who was now old was a muallim and the Jin had been his student as a child. After completing al-Quran he appeared to him and offered his services to him. The muallim refused but the jinn insisted and the rest is history...
So, during our visit the muallim covered my and my aunty's head wit a sheet saying we could not see the Jinn as we'd get frightened since he actually appears and we were to say salam to him when he did.
The muallim began reciting something and next we heard a great booming voice as if it were coming from a stereo surround system. Bear in mind this place was a masjid in the poorest of villages and as far as I know without electricity.
Anywayz to cut it short, I had a convo with the Jinn. And he told me some 'truths' about the problem my parents were facing. But that isn't surprising. The strange thing was I developed a fascination with the Jinn. He had a beautiful muslim name and after my return to the UK, I would call upon him by his name. Perhaps I wanted him to appear. After days/weeks (can't remember) I had a dream and in the dream I sensed a presence and I knew it was him. But sadly, in my dream a voice told me to stop calling him. So yeh I had to stop trying to contact him which I did - just incase he got mad at me lol.
I believe ghosts are Jinns and they do appear as humans@Curad. Ghosts aren't spirits of the dead as many people believe as spirits cannot escape the Barzakh at will. Br. Woodrow's post was bang on.
