Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam. Anyone who is fimiliar with Jinns and believe that they exist as amply witnessed through the Quran will read with intent and believe in what I am about to present to you. Maybe some of you may already have gone through this experience but are afraid or unwilling to share these stories.
The state of sleep praylasis that western audience is aware of is actually possession that takes place during the dark of night. Muslims belief is that there are numerous evils that exist that we do not know about. Allah says in the Quran " and we have created that which you know not".
We know that there is the great satan (arabic iblies in Quran and in hebrew azabeel in Turat and in english we just refer to his as evil or satan. He belongs to the tribe of Jinn created by Allah subahanoo wa taala before the birth of Adam (pbuh). The jinns are made of smokeless fire that's why we cannot see them with our eyes when we are fully concious and awake. But here is the trick. We can observe them during the night in the state when we are neither fully sleep or fully awake. Its like a slumber but actually going towards sleep.
This is what started to happen to me when I was Karachi, Pakistan during the 1991 onwards. I would see my self being paralysed completely. I could slightly open my eyes and thats all. Nothing I can do will let me take control of my body and my bodyparts would not respond. I would start to read quranic ayats and slowly the hold would be released and I would go free. At first I could not understand why this was happening but then one night I actually saw the perpetrator of my state of paralysis. An evil spirit belonging to the tribe of Jinn. Very ugly, intensly black, wearing black rags for clothes, around 4'8" tall or less slowing advancing towards me from the right corner of my room towards my bed. At first I was afraid what the hell is this thing which has paralysed me but then I would start to recite any quranic ayat she would disappear slowly and my body would become active again. This kept of going from time to time. When I left for USA in 1998, guess what? She was there too. No borders, no visa no citizenship requirement LOL.
Anyway, when I started my prayers regularly and starting reciting quran with understanding, Allah showed me a dream in which his angel appeared to me in the shape of beautiful man and promised me protection from any such evil in future. (please read my dreams on trueislamicdreams.com). Since 2006 she has stopped coming and i can now sleep at ease. One thing I would recommend to you all : please keep one blub on when you go to sleep. This evil spirit tends to come in total darkness.
SubhanAllah. This way Allah has also explained the meaning of the verse which is widely read but few could understand. It is from Surah Falak
" wa min sharr gasikin atha wakub" meaning = (seek refuge in Allah) "from the evil of the darkness when it is intense" . It is the darkness when it is intense that a door to such evil spirits/jinns open and they come forth. But here again remember only those who are away from Allah's rememberance and those who are disbelievers in Allah and His last messanger Mohammad s.a.w. are affected by such evils and sometimes we find people dead in their bed thinking they went through heart attack. Have we ever determined there could be something else too.
I hope my brother and sisters you might have gone through such an experience or similar to it. If you have please contribue here.
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuLlah
This story is very similar to what a colleague of mine told me about 10 years ago.My colleague was an old woman, a teacher, a person of very strict principals, besides she was an atheist.We both worked at a boarding school.The school's complex was and is still located in a remote countryside.The nearest village is a couple of miles away.There are few farms around the school.The terrain is a dry,grassy steppe. During the construction of the complex,due to some problems with financing there was a pause for about a year.An empty shell of the building was standing alone,unattended in the middle of wilderness. Finally, when the school was opened, my colleague came there to work as a young graduate.Initially,while teachers' residence was still being build, the teachers were housed in the school's building.So, this is what she told me:
It happened not very long after she moved in. It was late evening.She went to sleep. In a while she started hearing some music.First, she thought the sound of the music was coming from outside.(possibly the locals might have been having a party, or may be the music was being played on one of the farms-on quiet nights you could hear sounds from the neighbouring farms because the terrain was flat). But then she just thought, who would play music at such hour of the night. Then, to her great horror, she saw A SMALL FIGURE COMING OUT FROM THE SINK(she was very sure she was not dreaming) THEN JUMPING ON THE FLOOR AND STARTED WALKING TOWARDS HER. Of course, the screamed, jumped off the bed and switched the lights on. There was nobody in the room and the sound of music disappeared. Well, she convinced herself it must have been a nightmare, just a dream. Of course she was scared to death. She spent the rest of the night with the lights on. Next day, she almost forgot what had happened. In the evening she as usual returned to her room and went to sleep. BUT. AGAIN. SOUND OF MUSIC AND THEN SOME SHORT UGLY CREATURE COMING OUT FROM THE SINK, JUMPING ON THE FLOOR AND STARTING WALKING TOWARDS HER. This time she nearly went crazy, especially because she never believed in such things. Like crazy she ran to another colleague of hers and she never returned to live in her room. Of course she failed to convince anyone. People thought she just had a bad dream. She was housed somewhere else.
Well, my personal opinion. I do believe the story. Especially, because I know that that lady was such kind of a person who was veeeeeeeeeery far from even having an idea of making up such stories.
Another thing is: the school's building under construction stood empty, unattended for about a year in a remote countryside. Perfect dwelling for the jinn to come settle down.
There were also a couple of stories alike about that school. And I forgot to mention, that there was and still is an old graveyard in very close vicinity of the building.
As for myself, I only experienced so called sleep paralysis, but I gotta tell you it was some chilling experience too. I still do have it sometimes, not very often though. Of course I recite Ayatul Kursi and of course take Allah as my safeguard.Nobody and nothing can harm or hurt me except if Allah wishes so.
Thank you for reading.
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuLlah wa barakatuh.
ghost, before sleeping, make sure:
