Part 18

However, a month later, the woman fell ill a second time, so I went to recite the rugya over her, in the presence of her father, and a female Jinn spoke through her.

Lasked: “Bismillah, What is your name?”

She replied: “Maryam” l asked: “Why did enter the body of this woman?”

She replied: “To avenge my father and my son whom you converted to your religion”

Lasked: “So you are a Christian?”

I said: “Listen to one word from me”.

She saidd: “Not even half a word”

asked: “Did you know what I am going to say?”

She said: “Yes, you wanted to invite me to embrace Islam”

I asked: “Do you know me?”

She replied: “Yes, you are Wahid. My Christian friends have warned me not to listen to you, because you bewitch people and convert them

I said: “So, tell me about Christianity and if I am convinced I will convert to it; then I will tell you about Islam”

She asked: “Why do you wash all your body when you are in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) despite the fact that the sperm only comes out from one organ?

I replied: “Because the sperm ejaculation envokes muscular spasms of the whole body; this involves the majority of the body parts, especially the spine; so, afterwards the body is left in a state of relaxation and lassitude. Therefore, it is necessary to wash the whole body to be active again”. She remained quiet.

I asked: “What is your belief with regards to ‘Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary)?”

She replied: “He is God” L asked: “Why do you carry a cross on your chest?”

She replied: “Because the damned Jews killed Jesus and crucified him.”

Ireplied: “Is god unable to protect himself?” She did not answer.

I said: “So, he is not God.”

She said: “He is the son of God.”

l asked: “Is God unable to protect His son?” Again she did not answer. Then she remarked: “So, he is not the son of God.”

She asked: “What is your faith regarding him (Jesus)?”

I replied: “We (Muslims) do not say that he is the outcome of adultery as claimed by the Jews, nor we do not say that he is the son of God as claimed by you (Christians); but we do say: ‘He is a Servant of Allah and His Messenger; the Word of Allah sent to Mary, and a spirit from Him 3%. Allah 3€ created him with a word (Be).’””

She replied: “True, this is the opinion in my mind.” Then she asked me to recite the Qur’an for her.

(Surat Ta-Ha, 1 — 6)

Ont! GUAM hl os ase say AA OW fan LANES =ii OEM AGE ZAI

Ta Ha. We have not revealed unto thee (Muhammad) this Quran that thou should be distressed, But as a reminder unto him who feareth, A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the high heavens, The Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne, Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and whatsoever is between them, and whatsoever is beneath the sod.

She said: “I embrace Islam. ..[ embrace Islam” She repeated after me the Shahadah, and declared her tawbah

(repentance), then her husband and son came over; she greeted them and went to live with them.

Before she left, she said: “I want you to know that this person (the possessed woman) does not believe that Jinn can possess mankind. I will tell her these words and then you make her listen to the tape afterwards.” She mentioned some convincing rational evidence about the subject. She advised her not to lose her temper to avoid being controlled by the Jinn again, then left.

Two months later, the same woman fell ill again.

I told her husband that she failed to abide by the instructions I had given her, such as making du‘a (supplication), reciting the Qur’an, listening to it....etc.

He replied: “Yes...she is not convinced by them; therefore she ignores all your instructions.”

I told him; “Try to convince her, otherwise, she would never benefit from the treatment.”

I recited the rugya over her, and a Jinni spoke through her. Lasked: “Bismillah, what is your name?”

I asked: ‘‘What is your religion?”

L asked: “Why did you possess this woman?”

He replied: “I came to avenge my uncle, his wife and his son, whom you have converted to Islam.”

I asked: “Do you want me to present with to Islam?”

He replied: “No, I will present you with Christianity; I came to discuss it with you, as I work as a teacher in the church.”

I said: “Ask me anything you want.”

He said: “You (Muslims) claim that Jesus is not the son of God.” I said: “Yes.” He asked: “Then who is his father?”

I replied: “Allah has given us four different examples, so we may realize how He is supremely Powerful over everything:

First: He created a creature without father or mother. (i.e. Adam)

Second: He created a creature from a father, but without a mother. (i.e. Eve)

Third: He created a creature from a mother, but without a father. (i.e. Jesus)

Fourth: He created a creature from both a father and a mother. (i.e. people).

So, if we say that Jesus is the son of God because he has no father, then we say that Eve is the daughter of God as well, because she has no mother, and this is definitely false.”

So he approved of this point.

The debate lasted from 11.00am until 16.00, after the afternoon prayer, it was only interrupted during the time of salah.

Eventually, he declared his conversion to Islam, and named himself ‘Ali.

He said: “It is necessary that I go and call the Christians to Islam even if I get tortured”

I advised him to read. and learn about Islam first; so he left, after meeting his uncle’s family.

A week later, the woman fell ill again, and a Jinn spoke through her, saying that ‘Ali was detained by the Christians. So, I entrusted him to

bring along seven strong Muslim Jinn. I appointed one of them as their leader, and told them to go to free ‘Ali from the Christians, to mention Allah’s Name during the fighting, and recite Ayat al-Kursi.

Fifteen minutes later, Allah made them victorious, and they brought ‘Ali who was still feeling the pain of his injuries. I advised him to be patient and expect to be rewarded for his suffering, in the Hereafter.

Then, I ordered them to leave and never return to the body of that woman. They all left, and All Praise to Allah Alone; He 3€ grants success, guidance, and healing. He 8 is the Lord of all mankind and jinn.

That dialogue was recorded on three tapes.

Unlawful methods in exorcism

The method of al-Zar

Shaikh Yasin Ahmad ‘Id said: “People have invented some ceremonies which were never practiced by our pious predecessors; they are part of the innovations spreading these days, which are dominated by indulgence in materialistic desires and wrong-doings.

The sinful a/-Zar ceremony, for instance, is held with the pretext of healing the ill people from sar’ (possession by Jinn), but it is, in reality, no more than an event which displays all aspects of shirk (polytheism) and immorality; there is no room for decency, and a vast amount of money is spent and wasted. In fact, many savings are spent by the victims’ families which lead to their financial ruin later, and many people are abused through various indecent activities.

If a woman falls ill, for instance, some evil women would approach her to convince her that her sickness was due to Jinn’s possession, and that they were able to save her from demons, and cure her malady. Their service would cost the stricken woman a fortune, so she would have to offer her jewellery and all sorts of animals (chicken, sheep, cows) to

sacrifice, according to the demands of the evil women who organize the ceremony.

During the ceremony, they call the stricken woman, a bridegroom; they dress her with the most expensive clothes, ride her on a camel, surrounded by lit candles, and sing different tunes intended to make the stricken woman fall into a state of ecstasy.

However, after a short period of time, she would fall ill again, and her demons would increase their demands until her resources would run out; thereupon, she would be left to die.

Some evil women use these types of ceremonies to indulge in all sort of immoral acts; they would organise secret gatherings of men and women to satisfy their desires and greed.”

And this method is haram according to the Deen of Allah 36.

The method of pleasing the Jinn (by obeying them)

In this method, the healer pleases the Jinn who is possessing the body, and obeys all his/her demands. The Jinn would sometimes ask the person to slaughter an animal for him, wear gold, smoke or perform other unlawful acts which I have witnessed myself in many sessions.

There are many reasons for the unlawfulness of this method:

1. To help the oppressor in his oppressive acts.

2. To obey the Jinn in disobeying Allah 3%, by responding to his/her demands in wearing gold (in the case of a male) smoking, etc.

3. To fulfill these demands increases the Jinn’s tyranny, and

helps him/her remain for an even longer period in the body of the stricken person.

' Kashf al-sitar (164).

The method of seeking the help of another Jinn

This method is only used by another sorcerer who seeks the help of another Jinn to remove a Jinn from the body of a person. Sometimes, the sorcerer’s Jinn could be weak; therefore, unable to chase away the one possessing the body; and in other cases, the opposite is true. We have introduced the reasons for the unlawfulness of seeking the help of a Jinn to perform any act.

The method of adjuration

In this method, the healer exorcises the devil by adjuration, using one of the personalities of the Jinn. Jinn represent tribes and clans; they include the weak and the powerful, the master and the servant, the great and the poor. The sorcerer decides to get acquainted with the tribe of the Jinn possessing the body, with the help of his (sorcerer’s) assistant Jinn; then he adjures him with the leader of his tribe to leave the body. The Jinn would leave out of fear of his master. This method has a clear aspect of shirk (polytheism).
