Um... I do not believe Sleep Paralysis has anything to do with Jinns. I get Sleep Paralysis at least once a month, and it is very scary, but the most reasonable explanation for it I have heard is that the chemical that stops one from acting out their dreams is still in your body as you wake up, so you can't move when you may want to.

Hence why this is mostly common in children or through the puberty-stage where the body may be all messed up and changing.

It seems to me like just because something is inexplicable and 'not good', it must be related to evil spirits or Satan, which seems like you are jumping to conclusions a bit quickly.

After having it so many times, one gets used to them. Now, when I get it, I just relax and know it will be over with over time and my hallucinations aren't so bad.


There is a differnce of opinion amongst the scholar on the issue of sleep paralysis, i wont deny that there could be a medical reason for it, but at the same time i know jinns can cause it too.
 
:sl:Ya you are right. They don't hang around public places. But your bedroom is not a public place for sure. It is your private santurary. Also, the place where I use to live in USA was surrounded by trees and at night it became very still and dark. Anyway, congrats on being a muslim. Your other question about nightmares. Well, thats totally different thing. You are completely asleep. Your soul has left your body and has entered into another dimension which is not in your control. In this particular case, your soul is not in another dimension but is still with you. You can say its in transition but going towards sleep when these type of evils can attact you as you are vulnerable. Check out my dreams on [I]www.trueislamicdreams.com[/I] you would read about a dream in which a satan attached my private parts directly.
Ok, as far as protection is concerned our prophet has given us a strong recitation and he gave it the name Al-Muwadatain meaning " the protecting ones" these are the 3 surah : Surah akhlas, surah nas, surah falak. Read them 3 times each or 2 or 1 depeding on your state of exaustion at night and blow them on yourself. If you say ayat kursi as well , that would be really good. Inshallah no evil will come close. Even if it tries to attact, you would know in advance and would wake up. Inshallah


Sister you are making some very good points and i agree with you on most issues.

With all due respect, although our bedroom are suppose to be private sanctuaries, unfortunately jinns dont always see it that way so if we do not protect our homes by reading surah Baqarah it means that jinns can potentially enter into them.

There fore if ever you remove your clothes, even in the bedroom or bathroom or where ever, always say "Bismillah la ilaha ill Allah" (In the Name of Allah there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and the hadith continues to say that it forms a barrier over the eyes of the jinns so they can not see out awrah (parts of our bodies that need to be covered).

Sometimes males, lustful jinns see a female undressed and end up possessing her. So we need to protect our selves.

Allah Knows Best

May He (swt) keep us protected.
 
Abu-Musab
I am not a sister. Just a brother like you.
I agree with you though. Saying Allah's name rid of all evil spirits.
May Allah protect all of muslameen wa muslimaat from the evil. Ameen
 
This happens to me and I personally don't believe it has anything to do with jinn. Allahu alam. It tends to happen when I sleep on my back or if I wake up and for about an hour or two then try to go back to sleep, and it only ever happens when I'm falling alseep, never when I'm waking up.
 
i used to get this a lot,
im talking like day in and day out,
btw at the same time i used to have a lot of bad dreams,
but then i started to recite the last pages of surah al baqarah every night after maghrib salat,
and by allah i can feel that there is nothing in the house,
i can feel the difference from before and now,
might sound stupid but i feel less of a burden!

my non muslim mate of mine,
who i must say is a clued up guy,
he mentioned this to me once,
and he reckons its a jinn or satan

i dont know what to think lol
 
More people scared of jinns, Bimilar rahmanhir rahim, Alhamdu lillahi RABBIL ALAMIN ar rahmanir rahim. some muslims seem so proccupied with a riddiculous notion that jinns are waiting to pounce at every twist and turn, if you are truly fulfilling your covenant with Allah then He and the last day is the only thing you should be scared of./B][/B]

AN- AAM-6 part 8 vs126
126 This is the path of the Lord, a straight path. We have detailed Our revelations for a people who take heed.
127 For them is the abode of peace with their Lord. He will be their protecting friend because of what they used to do.
128 In the day when He will gather them together (He will say) : O ye assembly of the jinn ! Many of humankind did you seduce. And their adherrents among humankind will say : Our Lord! We enjoyned one another, but now we have arrived at the appointed term which thou appointedst for us. He will say : Fire is your home. Abide therein forever, save him who Allah willeth. Lo! thy Lord is wise, aware.

Thats your personal view and I respect that. But it doesn't mean it cannot happen to anyone else. Everyone goes through different life experiences and circumstances and we must respect that.
 
:sl:Tony, thats not true. Like I said maybe you didn't go through with this experience and thats why you consider it ridiculous. But everyone goes through different experiences in life and they have different narrations to elaborate.
You don't believe that Jinns caan effect anyone. Well they certainly can seduce human beings. Take for example the ayat you are quoting in your pasting
"""128 In the day when He will gather them together (He will say) : O ye assembly of the jinn ! Many of humankind did you seduce........."""
What does this tell you? You are quoting this ayat everytime you post a message and you have the answer yet you tend to ignore it?
I pray we all find Allah's protection from the Jinn kind and may Allah keep us informed and bestow on us wisdom from His Presence. Ameen

:w:
 
bro hrm sorry if it appeared I belittled your experience, I didnt intend to, I understand the terror thet comes from these experiences, and I am prepared to believe they may be jinns, what I mean to say is that with the fulfillment of our covenant with Allah we really have no reason to let that fleeting terror impact on our lives and that a lot of the power these jinn get is merely the power we impose on our own psyches. Allah is your protector brother, seek refuge in Him, even if you wake and cannot move, seek His refuge and sleep again. Who do these jinn think they are, our covenant is more than enough to thwart their attempts. Peace bro and may Allah guide and protect you, Ameen:D
 
Brother Abu Musab is a Jinn Buster from the ruqya shariya network. :D Welcome to the forums brother, its very nice to see your contributions here.
 
Tony no problem. May Allah peace decend on every muslim in this world. Ameen
 
I went through something similar to this.

I was lying down at night when all of a sudden I could not move anything at all, except my eyes. Then on the left corner of my left eye, I saw a red light, and it was 'taunting' me, saying "what will you do now? i've got full control of you, you can't do anything", etc.

Because I could not move my body, my mouth was open by the way, and I could not move my tongue either. So I started reciting "La Ilaaha Illallah" as much as I could, without the movement of my tongue. Slowly slowly the taunting started to fade away, and so did the light, and I could move again.


SubhanAllah it was a scary experience, which I pray I never experience again.

May Allah protect us from the evilness of men and Jinn, Ameen.

:sl:Exactly, These are the type of experiences we go through. The evil can take different forms. The form I saw was black and human like as I menioned in my original post and you some something reddish. Like you recited the kalima, I have done it too and it works both ways. It will relax the hold of evil and you will start to get control of your body back. Infact, whatever of quranic recitation you remember at that time, say it. I have recited kalimi, surah aklas and once or twice ayatal kursi.

What a bliss the iphone is!!! In the middle of the night you think of googling about such things (which are present in your subconscious), but which you might not think about during the day or when you're free.
And so....


...I stumbled upon this forum!

Those of you who are lucky enough, discuss it with your better half.And for the rest of us....there's this forum :)


Nb:Discussing is different from telling them.
Plz dont take my words literally, it was not meant to offend anyone.
Also I dint mean that everyone who is on this forum has a spouse who doesnt know or care about the importance of discussion.

Brother hrm,
Something very similar has happened to me in the past.I will write about it and how it confirms your descriptions exactly! and more.I will also write about the different experiences I have come across regarding the supernatural or the jinn.They are varied and many, some general and some just concerning me..and sleep paralysis is one of them.Then my dreams(I might not discuss each one of them though)
I have read on your site(trueislamicdreams), and I very much agree with you about the fact that we can get true dreams. From my experience and from what I have read I understood the one quality of people getting those dreams is that they speak the truth always.
I am very eager to write, but there is so much I need to write and due to certain things going on in my life at the moment, I need some time to post back and InshaAllah I will, in a month or so....hopefully till then this thread is open.

Far :sl: :statisfie
Forgot to tell you my email is in my contact section of my website.. Click on that, write your dream and send it. Inshallah I will give you the best possible interpretation, depending on the background to your dream. Just make sure the dream is Islamic. If you want it published, minus your name, I will be glad to do that too.
:wa:
 
some muslims lie and say that they have seen the ginn in some type of a form which is impossible!

only the prophets were given that ability so its hard to belive some peoples stories in here to be honest with you!

ive heard vioces and things like this and one vioce woke me up in the night and started telling me that a certain person wasnt good but i could not see anything

Your an english revert im guessing?

it is possible to see the jinn if they take form of things- like lights, orbs or simply animals like cats and dogs, snakes.

But most people let thier imaginations run wild or the fear and expecting to see things makes thier brains make them beleiev they saw something,

or other times it is a illusion. not real jinn.

Allah Knows Best.
 
i always recite Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nash before i go to sleep. those surat can protect us having such an experience... :)

That is your view and I respect that. However, to judge someone based on your opinion or to call someone a liar, be it Muslim or non-Muslim, is neither friendly nor Islamic. In fact, I personally find it appalling. Please read my Original Post carefully before arriving at a conclusion.
:Koran: Sarah Araf vv. 27 "" .......Surely, he (Satan) see you, he and his tribe from whence you see him not..........""
Here Allah is telling us that we cannot see Satan (jinn and his likes) in their original form as Allah created them. Only on the Day of Judgment we will be able to see them in their real form.
Having said that, indeed prophets and even Sahabahs and even till today there are Aalims and Aalimas who have seen Jinn but in other then their original form. Many human beings have come into contact with them but they take the form of Humans or others as described by brother abu_musab.
Ubayy Bin Ka 'b r.z. long story about meeting with the jinn and talking to him and reporting back to the prophet is well narrated by Imam An-Nasa 'i and Imam At-Tabarani and is verified by none other than Al-Albani (Sahih ut-Targhib wat Tarhib no.662)A similar incident is narrated by Abu Hurayrah r.z. when the Prophet s.a.w. appointed him to guard the food collected for zakat-ul-fitr (charity for Ramadan) He caught a devil (shape of man) trying to steel charity on three consecutive nights, and was about to take the jinn to the prophet s.a.w. when the jinn taught him to recite Ayat-ul-Kursi for protection.
(Recorded by Imam Al-Bukhari and Iman An-Nasa'i in Al Kubra)

Similar incidents have happened in the past and in the present times as well but what I was talking about was a state of being when " neither you are fully awake not asleep" it is a situation in between and that’s when I observed that being belonging to the tribe of jinn. I could not touch or reach out nor do anything as I was paralyzed completely except I could only see her approaching. One cannot even shout or move. Only protection at that time is the Rukyah or ayats that the prophet s.a.w taught us to ward of evil called Mu'awwithatan. Since the time of my first sighting, I have had occasion of narrating this to others in my family and lo and behold 2 others of my family have had similar incidents. So I was not alone and I am sure right at this moment there are brothers and sisters who have gone through similar incidents. Since the repeated occurrences I have also got in touch with a renowned Aalim and he confirmed my suspicions and even has a name for this evil.
Hope I have made my point clear. If you have any other questions or observations, please feel free to discuss with me or some other brother or sister here. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon all Momeneen and Momeenat and may Allah protect us from Satan and his tribe. Aameen:wasalamex
