[CosmicPathos]

how do you know if its jinn or just psychological problems like schizophrenia ?

peace

How do you know its a psychiatric problem and not a jinn problem? \just because you believe jinns dont exist, you want us to believe in your dogma?

 

[MunirBinJulaihi]

If me, the only way to prevent these from sleeping paralysis is read Al-Fatihah before you gone to sleep. My parents thought me about this.

 

[Cabdullahi]

Salam Alakium wa Rahmatullah

To anyone who has suffered from sleep paralysis, Inshallah my experience can help you understand your power to overcome these terrifying experiences.

For years now I have suffered from extremely intense sleep paralysis, so severe that at times I would not sleep for 3 days just to avoid it; it happened almost every night. Eventually I felt as though I could not escape these bizzar experiences. They followed me to school, numberous times I would bacome paralysed in my desk in math class or history, and then I would hallucinate, hear screaming, and I felt as though I would suffocate, (And then i'd often get chided for sleeping during class!). I suffered insomnia and I grew paranoid. I felt as though I were being haunted by gin.

To give some insight on the extremity of my sleep paralysis experiences, heres just one experience that always seems to stick out in my mind...
On night I had just laid down on my couch to sleep. Within about 3 min I began to feel the beginning stages of sleep paralysis set in. I felt very heavy, I heard static buzzing and an angry, mocking laughter in my ears. I had trouble breathing and I began to panic, like usual. Then I felt as though something was going on "down there", I've heard many people recall being sexually assaulted during sleep paralysis. I tried to fight to move, but I couldn't. It's always strange because we are not sleeping during sleep paralysis, we are fully conscious, perhaps that is why it is so terrifying. I grew more and more exhausted and then finally I gave up trying to fight it. In that moment I suddenly felt very light, some stange sensation overtook me and then, suddenly I realized that I was not in my body anymore. I was looking down att myself from above and I saw my own eyes, open and staring back. They appeard dead to me. (remember I am fully conscious, not sleeping at all). Then suddenly the t.v in the room turned to static and the buzzing became SOOO loud. As it grew louder and louder i began to be sucked closer and closer to the t.v, I had no control over my movement. Just when I thought that I couldn't bear the excruciating loud buzzing any more, I was flung into the t.v. I swear I felt as though I became static. Then, The light from the window outside grew soooo bright, I was sucked into the window as I was sucked into the t.v. I then was in my own dream world. Completely lucid, however I was not fully aware of the control I had over my dreams. Consequently, I lost my power to control my lucid dream. I was on a busy street, it was night time, and many people were passing me by. As I walked I felt uneasy. I looked down at my feet and when I finally looked up to a persons face, I saw an old beggar woman with a face so twisted that I began to run from her. She laughed manically and ran after me screaming that I couldn't escape. I began to feel as though I would be stuck in this dream world forever. I knew it was a dream but I felt as though I was held captive in my own dream. That is until I found that no matter wher I ran, the wicked woman would follow me. I turned to face the beggar and I stared into her eyes. They truely did seem evil. But I knew that my only choice was to face her. I was terrified but the instant I looked into her eyes I saw that she was terrified for me to seee her for what she was.She was nothing but some terrible creature that lived off of my fear. The moment I found that I didn't fear her was the moment I was truely free from her. For the first time, I began to see the unlimited freedom I had in lucid dreaming. In that moment, I looked back to the dark streets and allys full of ghouls and wicked creatures. I was not afraid. I then turned my back to my nightmare and looked up too the sky. I flew away, lucid and free.

You see, I've learned that sleep paralysis can become a beautiful gateway to lucid dreaming. Once you recognize your power to control your dreams and to look at the evil thats haunting you in the eyes and tell it "Hey, I'm not afraid of you. Your not even something I have to challenge, your NOTHING" then, you can be free from the pain that sleep paralysis brings.

It also help if you put your trust in Allah, say" Audu Billah he min a shayton arra gem" . Recite from the beautiful Qur'an and remember, we must fear NONE but Allah.

Science explaines much about sleep paralysis and can be very helpful, (knowing what is happening to your mind and body during sleep paralysis is the firststep). For example, why do we experience HORRIBLE sensations and hallucinations? Because during this time the amigdula (fear sensor of the brain) is acutly active. Read scientific research about sleep paralysis. It may help.

But I don't doubt that gin are also involved, (the Qur'an warns us about Jathoom).


I know this was very long, but Inshallah it is helpful to whomever suffers from sleep paralysis.

If anyone would like to ask any questions about sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, insomnia.. please feel free. I am no expert but I've had much experience with all of the above and I've read alot of scientific/spiritual research.

this is our answer to J K ROWLING this must be the best story ever

 

[Cabdullahi]

^ i can't believe my eyes i cant believe this is happening i think im having sleep paralysis

 

[PersiaBeFree]

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.

It happens to me on rare occasions, in the situation you described.

I know it is because I am only dreaming that I'm awake.

It is well known that the brain shuts down the motor nerves for normal sleep. Occasionally sleep can be so light that one becomes aware of the paralysis.

 

[bilaljamil]

Brothers this used to happen to me in ramadan for the past two three ramadans. i realised when ever i used to follow islam and pray n read quraan this used to happen to me. it happens at times and its a very bad experience. brothers any sugesstions what i should do???

 

[abu_musab461]

read the three quls wipe over your self and insha Allah it wont happen.

I know people who can testify thaT it solved thier problems. You need put your trust in Allah (swt) because Allah does not get tired of protecting His slaves.

 

[believeByHEART.]

i have experienced this and to add for the sake of the post above, i am 15 years old. it was December just gone and i had slept sometime late, as usual its my habit at the moment;D, and i had a dream, and it was the most strangest dream i have ever experienced it was filled with these images that you'd see in horror films you know blood a zombie etc but that didnt affect me, i mean ive seen horror films so could always get into my dream, understandable logic. but it was when the dream stopped i was like half awake and half asleep and my room was coming in and out of focus, everything was blurred and it was like my vision was pulsing and i couldnt move my arms or my legs, and to be honest it felt like i couldnt feel my limbs and i looked up into the lefthand top corner of my room and ther was these 2 black figures close together hovering under the ceiling, they were colourless i mean completely black but i could make them out as two girls/women cause ther faces were like out-lined and it was like they were cackling? and then i jus felt a rush of panic and then i turned away to the right hand side of my room and then it was like i regained control of my legs and i shuffled in my bed and then i fell back to sleep.

i awoke the next day and told my mum but she think i was talking a load of rubbish and just said it was nightmares, even though i cried about it cause it had affected me enough to reduce me to cry and i have never cried over a dream before and never have come across something like this.

im still in shock about it now

 

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


Question: Our daughter is having strange experiences during sleep. She complains of feeling something pressing down on her chest which paralyzes her entire body. She cannot even speak. This stops and starts throughout the night. It happens so frequently that she has become depressed and angry. We feel that this is an attack from the Jinn and we want to know what she can do about it.

Answered by the Scientific Research Committee - IslamToday.net
These symptoms should not be construed as an attack from the Jinn. This is a very common problem. It is a condition known as sleep paralysis (SP).

Sleep paralysis is defined as a condition in which someone, usually lying in a supine position, about to drop off to sleep, or just upon waking from sleep, realizes that he is unable to move, speak, or cry out. Many complain that they try to recite Âyah al-Kursî but are unable to do so. People in this condition are often beset by feelings of fear or dread and frequently try, unsuccessfully, to cry out. After seconds or minutes, they feel suddenly released from the paralysis, but may be left with a lingering sense of anxiety.

Many people experience this sensation while falling asleep or as they are waking up and it can cause them discomfort. Some people describe it to be as if they feel as if someone is sitting on their chest.

Common secondary symptoms of this condition are as follows:

• A feeling of being choked or suffocated
• A feeling of being pinned down or sat upon (particularly in the chest area)
• Auditory hallucinations, typically the sounds of footsteps and voices nearby or knocking or banging on the walls
• Visual hallucinations, typically beings or dark shadows surrounding or standing near the bed
• A frightening feeling of descending or encompassing evil or dread
• Shaking of the body or a rumbling sensation (ringing) in the ears
• A feeling of intense, suffocating evil
• A feeling of being in a dream-like state while at the same time sensing being awake

The source of this phenomenon is a natural bodily function. When you sleep, your brain shuts off the signals coming from your muscles so you do not get up and act out your dreams. This is to prevent you from injuring yourself in your sleep. For some reason, people with sleep paralysis come into consciousness before the brain returns voluntary control back to the muscles, creating a sense of feeling paralyzed. This sensation is quite uncomfortable and understandably frightening, which can lead the not wholly conscious person to experience some of the secondary symptoms of this disorder that can often be very frightening and realistic.

None of what you describe is strange, peculiar, or in the least bit exceptional. It is a benign condition. Several recent surveys suggest that between 25-30% of people have experienced at least a mild form of sleep paralysis at least once and about 20-30% of these people have experienced it on several occasions.

However, if it is a frequent problem for you that is impairing your sleep or causing you discomfort, then you should seek medical attention for it. There are actually many treatments and prescriptions for this condition.

Doctors suggest that getting on a regular sleep schedule and avoiding sleep deprivation are helpful in alleviating this condition.

And Allah knows best.

Our family used to go on camping a lot on holidays, and I really got lost in the woods in one camping trip. It was evening and it was getting dark, it was almost dark. That area had coyotes and other wild animals that could have killed. I was small, about 10yrs, scared, and crying. But just then I saw an old men. He had white cloths, i did not see his face, he back was facing me. But he and long big beard I can see even from the back. On 1 hand he had a torch/lantern type thing brighting the area around. I started to run toward him but he started walking. I could never get closing to him and he never looked back for my calls, shouts, and crying. Then he disappeared right in front of my eyes. And there was the camp. He led me back to safety.

Now I talk to people, some people suggested it was not jinn but khizer (as).

 

[abu_musab461]

may have been a good muslim jinn Allah (swt) Knows Best.

He definatly wasn't kidhr (as) because he was a prophet and like all prophets he died and dead dont come back to life.

 

[CosmicPathos]

Sleep paralysis is not a Jinn possession. That belief is superstitious and it was present among Chinese, Japanese people as well that a ghost sits on your chest during sleep paralysis. My Asian physio prof gave example of that from his culture.

 

[CosmicPathos]

may have been a good muslim jinn Allah (swt) Knows Best.

He definatly wasn't kidhr (as) because he was a prophet and like all prophets he died and dead dont come back to life.

Dead coming back is prevalent in Hindu popular mythology.

 

[Chuck]

may have been a good muslim jinn Allah (swt) Knows Best.

He definatly wasn't kidhr (as) because he was a prophet and like all prophets he died and dead dont come back to life.

There is a difference of opinion. And the description according to the hadith fits him (kidhr (as)). But I don't really know who that was, I'm just glad he guided me to safety who ever he was.

About Khidir (as):

Question: Is it true that Hadhrat Khidar (A.S.) is still alive and only those who are very pious get the chance to see him? If this is true then do you know any Ulama of our time who have met him?

JazakAllah

Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

The great Hadith expert (Hafidh) Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (Allah have mercy on Him) deals with aspects related to Sayyiduna Khadir (or as some call him, Khidar, Peace be upon him) in his monumental commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari, ‘Fath al-Bari’. The following is the summary from ‘Fath al-Bari’, in relation to the following Points:

1) His real name

2) Was he a Prophet?

3) Is he still alive?

As far as the first aspect is concerned, in a Hadith recorded by Imam al-Bukhari in his ‘Sahih’, the messenger of Allah said:

“He was named Khadir because he sat over a barren white land. It turned green with plantation after he sat on it”. (Sahih al-Bukhari).

It should be remembered that the word ‘Khadir’ is from the word ‘Khadrah’ which means greenness and to be green. It has been narrated from Mujahid (a great scholar of Tafsir) that another reason for him being called ‘Khadir’ is that when he used to pray and worship Allah, everything around him would turn green.

The Scholars have debated about what his real name was, prior to being called Khadir. Wahb ibn Munahbah said: It was ‘Balya’. Some said: His name was ‘Ilyas’. Others said: ‘Aamir’ and some mentioned that it was ‘Kadirun’. (Allah knows best)

With regards to the second point, most of the Scholars are of the view that he was a Prophet, although some have said: “He was a pious servant of Allah.”

The third question of whether he is still alive or has passed away was a matter of great debate between the Scholars. Ibn Salah said:

“According to the vast majority of the Scholars, he is still alive. Only some Hadith Scholars have denied this including Imam Nawawi. The incidents and stories of his meeting with many people reject there opinion”.

Ka’b ibn al-Ahbar said:

“There are four Prophets who are alive and a source of security for mankind. Two are in the heavens: Idris and Esa , and two on land: Khidar and Ilyas”.

There are also some narrations which indicate that he came at the time of the demise of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and also met some of the Companions (Sahaba). However, most of these narrations are either weak (Da’eef) or fabricated (Mawdu).

The answer to your question “Do you know any ulama (scholars) who have met him” is, I really don’t know neither do I look out for somebody who has.

In conclusion, there is uncertainty with regards to Sayyiduna Khadir (Allah bless him). The scholars have many different and conflicting views regarding his name, age and whereabouts. Nothing can be said for certain.

Therefore, it is best that we leave the knowledge of this to Allah Almighty. One will not be asked regarding this on the Day of Judgment. What we will be asked about is, the necessary knowledge relating to purity, Salat, Zakat, etc…


And Allah Knows Best

[abu_musab461]

Was al-Khidr a Prophet?
Was al-Khidr an angel, a Messenger, a Prophet or a wali (“saint”)?

Praise be to Allaah.

The from the general meaning of the Qur’aanic verses it appears that he was a Prophet.

Shaykh al-Shanqeeti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his commentary on the aayah (interpretation of the meaning)

“Then they found one of Our slaves, on whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Us”

[al-Kahf 18:65]

“But it may be understood from some aayahs that the mercy mentioned here was the mercy of Prophethood, and that this knowledge which came from Allaah was the knowledge of revelation (wahy)… It is known that mercy and the bestowal of knowledge from Allaah is more general and comes in more ways than via Prophethood. The fact that something general exists does not necessarily imply that something more specific exists, as is well known. One of the indications that the mercy and knowledge with which Allaah blessed His slave al-Khidr came by way of Prophethood and revelation is the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

“And I did them not of my own accord”[al-Kahf 18:82]

i.e., rather I did them by the command of Allaah, and the command of Allaah is only conveyed via wahy (revelation), because there is no way for the commands and prohibitions of Allaah to be known except through revelation from Allaah, especially with regard to the killing of an apparently innocent soul and damaging a ship by making a hole in it, because committing acts of aggression against people’s lives and wealth can only be validated via revelation from Allaah. Allaah has restricted the method of warning to revelation as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad): “I warn you only by the Revelation”

[al-Anbiya’ 21:45]

the word innama (translated here as “only”) implies limitation or restriction.

Adwaa’ al-Bayaan, 4/172, 173

And he said:

From all of this we know that al-Khidr’s killing the boy and making a hole in the ship, and his saying,

“And I did them not of my own accord”

[al-Kahf 18:82 – interpretation of the meaning]]

clearly indicate that he was a Prophet. Al-Fakhr al-Raazi, in his tafseer, attributed the view that he was a Prophet to many scholars. Another factor that may indicate that he was a Prophet is the fact that Moosa (peace be upon him) humbled himself before him and said (interpretation of the meaning):

“May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allaah)?”[al-Kahf 18:66]

“If Allaah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught”[al-Kahf 18:69]

even though al-Khidr said to him (interpretation of the meaning):

“And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?” [al-Kahf 18:68]

[abu_musab461]

Is al-Kihdr living on the face of the earth?

Is al-Khidr still living on the face of the earth until the present day? And will he remain alive until the Day of Resurrection?

Praise be to Allaah.

Al-Shanqeeti said:

The stories of al-Khidr told by the righteous are innumerable. They claim that he and Ilyaas perform Hajj each year and they narrated du’aa’s from them, and these stories are well known and widespread, but the basis of what they say is very weak, because most of them are stories narrated from some of those whom they think are righteous, or dreams and ahaadeeth that are attributed to Anas or others, but all of them are da’eef (weak) and cannot be used to prove anything.

What seems to me to be more likely, based on the evidence concerning this matter, is that al-Khidr is not alive, rather he died. This is for a number of reasons:

1 – The apparent meaning of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning)

“And We granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad); then if you die, would they live forever?”

[al-Anbiya’ 21:34]

2 – The Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O Allaah, if you allow this group of Muslims to be destroyed, You will not be worshipped on earth.” (Narrated by Muslim)

3 – The Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that one hundred years after the night on which he was speaking, none of the people who were on the face of the earth then would still be alive. If al-Khidr had been alive at that point he would not have remained after the hundred years mentioned. Muslim ibn al-Hajjaaj said that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led us in praying ‘Isha’ one night towards the end of his life, then he stood up and said: ‘Do you see this night of yours? One hundred years from now not one of those who are on the face of the earth now will remain.” Ibn ‘Umar said: “The people did not understand these words of the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and they said that this meant that the Day of Resurrection would come after one hundred years. The Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘not one of those who are on the face of the earth now will remain’ meaning that that generation would pass away.”

4 – If al-Khidr had lived until the time of the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), he would have followed him, supported him and fought alongside him, because he was sent to the two races of jinn and mankind.

[MC2189]

Padarok, Please read my original post carefully before jumping to conclusions. You don't know anything about me so please don't try to tell me I am jumping to conclusions. How can you determine what I was going through. I am not a child or going through puberty stages and its not sleep paralysis and my body is not messed up or changing. If you believe sleep paralysis has nothing to do with jinns, I respect your opinion. Maybe that's your experiences and what you heard and read. But every human being is different and goes through different exepriences. The need is to learn something new and respect that. I have read about sleep paralysis and puberty and all you mentioned. It has nothing to do with my experiences.

Peace,

I am not a Muslim, but I am religious. I am a Christan. I have registered here because I am now experiencing exactly what you describe. Either I become paralyzed or I hear a loud siren noise that makes my entire body vibrate. On a few occasions, I actually have psychic communications with invisible entities that do not have bodies. I also feel them fly through my body, so they do have some sort of physical mass. Someone on another forum told me I am possessed, but I am in full control of my actions when I am awake. This just started happening after I changed my life and began taking my religion seriously. I was living a very sinful life. This occurs probably every other night and has been for the past 2 months now.

I noticed that if I pray, I will immediately gain full control of my body and they will instantly be gone. But how do you make them stop coming in the first place? I miss getting a full night of sleep and it's starting to get annoying.
