The Waswas From The Possessing Jinn


In this article, I want to talk about the waswas of the possessing jinn, its forms and how we can deal with it. What we will mention here is also relevant to the qareen that every human has so even if you are not possessed, you will benefit from some of the information that is presented here.

When you start your ruqya treatment or do ruqya diagnosis, the possessing jinn will severely increase their waswas and they will generate different emotions and feelings inside you, especially anger, so that you stop ruqya. You may find yourself getting very angry with your spouse, children, family and friends and that’s because the possessing jinn have created this anger in you, hoping that you will act upon it and cause fitna. 
YOU MUST NOT ACT UPON THIS ANGER! Allah wil not hold you accountable for these feelings or anger because they are coming from the jinn and not you. You need to prepare yourself for this waswas attack and have a routine to deal with it. You also need to recognise the waswas for what it is and not act upon it. This article will help you do these things inshallah.
As soon as jinn possess someone, they start their evil work of waswas. Their waswas is so severe that they psychological condition a patient almost immediately so the patient has to deal with two types of waswaas. Normal waswas or Type 1 which everyone gets and the more severe type 2 or waswas conditioning which is so extreme that it can be detected by ruqya diagnosis and it can damage a patient’s heart.
From experience we have seen that the possessing jinn seem to give FOUR kinds of waswas type 1 to patients:
1) Evil and negative thoughts, ideas, scenarios, images or whispers (ie softly speaking in the mind of the patient as if the patient is speaking to himself).
2) Evil and negative feelings and emotions.
3) A combination of 1 and 2.
4) A combination of 1 and 2 with the natural self or nafs of patient.
Obviously and as you will probably realise, type 4 is worst and most dangerous type and is what the jinn prefer to do when they are given an opportunity to use your own nafs against yourself so that you believe that what you are experiencing is totally natural and has nothing to do with jinn.
Let’s look at some examples of the above so that you can understand what I am saying.
Example of Type 1: The idea or thought that Allah is not helping you but he helps others, unislamic images or scenarios playing out in your mind like a video, playing music or songs in your head or whispering to you to do haram as if you are talking to yourself ie the possessing jinn impersonating you and speaking in your mind as if you are talking to yourself. The jinn may remind you of some good things you did in the past, like Hajj, while you are in salah so that you lose concentration in salah.
Example of Type 2: Sometimes a patient will be very sad or depressed or really angry or feel very ugly (especially sisters so that they take off their hijab or apply make-up to make themselves feel better) but would not know why they are actually feeling like that. The possessing jinn can also make you very happy or excited so they that you do something that may lead you to sin, although they rarely do this. Patients could also have extreme fear but not know what exactly they are afraid of ie the possessing jinn generated this fear. It is also possible for the possessing jinn to make you love one person and hate another but you wouldn’t be able to explain why you have such feelings towards these people. The jinn may stir up feelings of enjoyment while you read a book so that you continue to read the book and delay or miss your salah. 
The jinn may make you nervous or anxious so much so that you get ‘butterflies in your stomach’. Another good example that is common and which many people can relate to, is the feeling of doubt about your wudu when you definitely know that you have wudu because you just finished it and your face and limbs are still wet but you still feel this doubt that you don’t have wudu (or you have not done wudu at all). Your mind and intellect tells you that you have wudu but your heart is telling you otherwise. THIS WUDU DOUBT IS GENERATED BY THE POSSESSING JINN (OR QAREEN). (This last example clearly shows that jinn can generate feelings in us.)
Example of Type 3: Whisper to you to do zina with someone they remind you of in your mind and then arouse or stir up desires inside you to do zina with that person.
Example of Type 4: You naturally become angry because someone abused you or insulted you. The jinn start giving you thoughts to abuse the person back or fight him and at the same time they add more anger to your natural anger. Another example, would be that a person sees an attractive member of the opposite gender and the nafs naturally finds the person attractive, which is normal ie the nafs doesn’t give any waswaas to have a second look and sin (in some situations the nafs may give its own waswaas to have a second look but the strength of this will depend on how well it has been disciplined or not). Sensing this attraction, the possessing jinn tries to make the person have a second look by suggesting that it won’t be that bad if they have a quick second look and at the same time, it increases the desire for this attractive person.
The qareen that everyone has, does something similar but it is definitely much weaker than the waswas type 1 of the possessing jinn.
We must remember that the difficulties and distress that the believer may suffer as a result of this waswaas may be included in the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “No Muslim suffers tiredness, exhaustion, worry, grief, annoyance or distress, not even a thorn that pricks him, but Allah will expiate some of his sins thereby.”
(al-Bukhari, Muslim).
So it is important to be patient and not get hasty when asking Allah to cure you from the waswaas. 
POSSESSING JINN READING OUR THOUGHTS AND MIND.
It is known that the qareen from the jinn that everyone has can read our mind and thoughts as Ibn Taymia and Bin Baz may Allah’s mercy be upon them have said:
From our experience of treating patients and my own jinn possession, we have concluded that the possessing jinn has access to this information that qareen has. The possessing jinn either gets it indirectly from the qareen of the patient or it directly has access this information by itself. We believe the latter and not the former because of experience ie that the possessing jinn have access to this information of our thoughts and they do not need any help or assistance from the patient’s qareen.
We should not become alarmed that they can read our mind and thoughts as this is something Allah has decreed to test us. In fact, this ability turns out to be a demoralizing and humiliating for the jinn with regards to the strong believer. That is because the jinn realise that they are still unable to defeat a strong believer even after having FULL access to their mind and thoughts.
The important thing here is to realise that you must be careful about negative thoughts immediately occurring when you have decided to do a good deed or ruqya.
You must not forget that the possessing jinn know your likes and dislikes, and will probably work out what sins you have done and will use this information against you. So their attacks are very targeted and precise because they need you to committ sins so they can take control of  your body.
Having said all of this, it is important to PUT YOUR TRUST IN ALLAH! Do not worry about what these possessing jinn know about you as Allah is more powerful and you can overcome any plan or deception they are planning for you.
When I was possessed I would question every thought, feeling or emotion I would get so that I can prepare and counteract what the possessing jinnee was planning for me. If you sincerely ask Allah, he will guide you and allow you to differentiate between your natural thoughts and feelings and those of the jinns’ and He will make you realise when the possessing jinn is trying to deceive you with thoughts and feelings or emotions.
We have not mentioned this for you to become paranoid about jinn mental attacks against you but we say this to you for you to become vigilant and aware of their filthy games and so you don’t fall for their trap. 
ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE OF ALLAH!
The possessing jinn know that in order to get control of the patient they need to make them do sins. The greatest sin is shirk and they know that if you fall into major shirk or kufr then you will become an apostate and then the jinn will take total control of your mind and limbs, and they will manifest as they please, causing fitna and chaos because the jinn will impersonate you and make people believe that you actually caused the fitna and chaos, when in reality you had done nothing and it was just the jinn pretending to be you!
The easiest way to get you to become an apostate would be to make you do kufr or shirk with Allah. 
So it is imperative for possessed patients to actively ignore and not agree with or believe in any evil or negative thoughts about Allah that is whispered to them by the jinn. The evil jinn may even give you negative feelings or emotions about Allah at the same time as an evil thought so as to confuse you and make you think that the evil thought coupled with the evil feelings about Allah is actually coming from yourself, WHEN IN REALITY, THEY ARE COMING FROM THE POSSESSING JINN. You must not get depressed or sad about this because you will not be held accountable by Allah for these evil thoughts or feelings about Allah because they are not coming from you but from the jinn inside you. YOU MUST NOT AGREE WITH THEM AND YOU MUST NOT BELIEVE IN THEM and you must actively reject them and not start entertaining them in your heart, mind or intellect. The fact that you really hate these thoughts is a clear sign that you have iman and it is also a clear sign that these thoughts are not generated by yourself but by the possessing jinn.
One of the reasons the possessing jinn prefer these evil waswaas thoughts about Allah, rather than other sins, is because the waswaas are hidden from public view and therefore no other Muslim can correct the patient’s thoughts. It means the patient could carry on sinning in their heart and mind without being told to stop sinning. If the jinn makes the patient fall into apparent sins such as zina or drinking alcoholic drinks, then it is quite easy for others to see these evils deeds and then advise the patient to stop. In such a case, the evil work of the jinn would have been wasted and would not have been productive, according to the jinn. So the possessing jinnee would rather spend its time in giving negative thoughts about Allah because if the patient agrees and accepts such thoughts, the sin is greater (which will give the possessing jinn full control to carry out its mission such as a divorce) and these evil thoughts may never be corrected by fellow Muslims.
I have had tough time trying to explain to patients what I actually mean about not agreeing with the evil waswaas about Allah. Because of the real and genuine hardship that they are going through, some patients are vulnerable and susceptible to believing in this waswaas. In some instances, the jinn convinced them and it seems that some patients feel a bit justified in agreeing with some of the negative thoughts about Allah. So you may find patients having resentment in their hearts for Allah and blaming him for their current predicament. Patients need to understand that they cannot have any resentment or anger towards Allah in their hearts because this is kufr akbar that takes a person out of Islam and this is a fact that is known by the deen by necessity, hence there is no need for me to give any proof of that.
No person has the right to be ever angry or upset with Allah. Allah does what he wants and he only does that which is good for his slaves so then how can he ever be blamed for doing something to them. The blaming slaves are to be condemned and blamed for not understanding Allah’s wisdom.
I have had to give patients examples for them to understand what I mean about not agreeing with the negative thoughts or waswaas about Allah and walhamdulilah it has always worked. Therefore, to illustrate to other patients, what I mean about how a possessing jinnee can convince a patient about thinking negative about Allah, look at these two examples of possessing jinn impersonating patients ie as if the patients are talking to themselves in their own minds. Remember, the jinn will throw in the mind of the patient, several different types of negative thoughts about Allah and the patient just has to agree with one single negative thought to fall into major kufr:
Case 1 (Background): possessed sister who can’t have a baby because of sihr. A conversation in her mind that was started by the jinn might sound like this. (In most cases the jinn will also generate feelings and emotions to go along with this waswaas conversation):
“I hate those women and they didn’t have to do that yeah, yeah yeah. They all know I can’t have a baby but they still didn’t stop showing excess love and affection for their babies in front of me. Allah has done a lot for me and I am really thankful but he didn’t have to put me through that. He could have just made those women busy with other things and not their babies. This is really difficult for me and I don’t really deserve this coz I’m much better than all those women put together. Bragging about getting pregnant every year and having to hide from their husbands when they are most fertile and reluctantly going to the bedroom……yeah, as if they really hate it……what utter rubbish because they all enjoy getting pregnant and having children. I just don’t understand why Allah gives these women children, when some of them have even admitted to doing zina…….here I am praying and doing all these good deeds but can’t even have a baby…..it is just so unfair when these evil women are giving birth every year and I can’t even lie in the same bed next to my husband…….why doesn’t Allah just help me out. All he has to do is say ‘be’ but he doesn’t and so I don’t think anyone can really blame me for being upset with Allah because he is clearly  ignoring me and he could have solved the problem straight away but it is as if he is enjoying and taking pleasure in seeing me suffer and not have a baby”
Case 2 (Background): A single possessed brother with sihr to commit zina. A conversation in his mind might go like this: (In most cases the jinn will also generate feelings and emotions to go along with this waswaas conversation)
“I’m getting really sick and tired of these sisters not wearing hijab properly and taking off their niqabs when they are not near the masjid and then coming back to our masjid and then when I propose to them they act all pious and reject me. They’re not serious about helping single brothers. They are good at teasing brothers with make-up and noisy high heels. I don’t know why Allah helps these so called married Sheikhs and speakers, who already have more than one wife, get so many proposals, even from virgins, when some of them have divorced and even abused several women. I am trying to keep away from zina but I can’t take how unfair it all is. I can’t even get help to find a job let alone a wife. What’s going on! Why can’t Allah just help me out when I even got the correct aqeedah. It is like he is just ignoring me and even wants me to actually do zina so he can’t expect me to be patient……yeah it sounds cruel and rude but when I look at everything…Alllah has definitely done a lot for me but it is clear to me that Allah didn’t help me when he could have easily done so and then on top of all of that, he even expects me to keep away from zina! I’m not a robot and I don’t care, if he gets upset with me doing zina…that’s it……I have had enough of all this!”
I hate to mention these two examples and I am really sorry if I upset anyone, but that is the reality of these evil jinn and I have had patients falling into something similar and the only way they really understood what I meant, was when I used such examples. So even though it is horrible to read, it definitely helps possessed patients.
Now, if the two patients ignore the above waswaas then they will be fine but if they agree with it then they would have committed major kufr because they attributed evil to Allah which would then mean their jinn taking full control of them.
What we have just presented is a snap shot and usually these sorts of waswaas attacks may take several weeks or months and then finally end up with something like the above. I pray Allah saves Muslims from agreeing to such waswaas.
Another issue that patients have to be aware of is that ALLAH IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU AND HE LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU! He hears your duas and is aware of what you are going through so don’t let the jinn convince you that he has abandoned you or hates you.
The possessing jinn will try and convince Muslims that Allah hates them and is not there for you or that he doesn’t care about you. They will do this via waswaas of thoughts or voices in your head (as if you are talking to yourself) and via emotions or feelings that Allah has abandoned you and doesn’t care about you. YOU MUST ACTIVELY REJECT THIS WASWAS and not agree with them. However, if you accept them and start believing them to be true then ALLAH WILL TREAT YOU IN THAT MANNER! That is because of the well known hadith about Allah’s treatment of his slaves depends on how well they think of him. SO ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE ABOUT ALLAH. 
WE CANNOT DIAGNOSE WASWAS TYPE 1
We cannot diagnose via ruqya waswas type 1 because it is temporary and it doesn’t react to ruqya or leave a mark or damage the body and is not a spiritual illness, hence it does not need ruqya treatment   (whereas waswas type 2 conditioning which is not temporary and and is a spiritual illness and therefore it can be picked up during ruqya diagnosis and it needs ruqya treatment to cure it).
It is important to know if the waswas type 1 the patient is experiencing is coming from the possessing jinn because ignoring and not following the waswaas from the evil jinn is an obligation which is known to be part of our deen by necessity. It is also part of our treatment since ignoring and rejecting the waswas of the possessing jinn by the patient, causes the possessing jinn to weaken psychologically thereby making them less enthusiastic to carry out their plans against the patient.
There is a way around this problem of detecting and determining if the waswas type 1 that patient experiences is coming from possessing jinn or not.
The patient needs to do specific jinn possession diagnosis to see if the jinn has or is giving a particular waswas type 1. This similar to checking if the possessing jinn caused previous cancer or is currently causing an illness. This is especially important diagnosis when the possessing jinn are NOT from sihr. So a patient may have jinn that came through ayn or entered their body while yawning. Since the patient doesn’t have sihr then they will not react to sihr of divorce but they will react to the ruqya to see if the jinn are causing waswas for divorce ie giving a spouse strong waswas to divorce. This act of waswaas to cause a divorve would be something the possessing jinn decide to do themselves without the influence of a sahir (magician)
Another example is that if the patient decides to visit their parents and suddenly they get a strong feeling not to visit, they can check to see if this feeling is from the possessing jinn. They can also check past waswas type 1 that the jinn had given them so if a patient did get a divorce then they can check to see if the current possessing jinn gave waswas type 1 in the past to divorce.
Having said all that, we must remember that we need a good reason to do these specific ruqyas so only do these specific ruqya if you are really confused and are not sure if these feelings you have are from your natural self or are the possessing jinn. Obviously, we are not supposed to follow any waswas from any jinn and this will be primary reason for doing this specific ruqya ie so we don’t follow the possessing jinn. For more information about the rules of specific ruqya:
Again, having said all this, we must remember that if you get a negative result regarding a particular waswas type 1 that you thought was from the possessing jinn, this waswaas type 1 might still be from your qareen. In such cases, just make sincere dua to Allah that he shows you inshallah which waswaas is from the qareen because waswas type 1 itself can never be picked up or detected by ruqya diagnosis nor does the qareen itself react to ruqya.
Do not do indirect ruqya diagnosis to determine the state of your qareen by reading ruqya on your possessing jinn ie don’t do ‘O Allah show me if the possessing jinn knows that my qareen is giving me waswaas type 1 about my spouse or parents’. Keep well away from this sort of ruqya as it is using the help of the possessing jinn’s knowledge during ruqya and we must not seek the help of the jinn because that is major shirk. Please read the ‘7 rules of specific ruqya’ (for more information about the shirk of seeking the help of the jinn: please read my article ‘The Problems with Jinn Catching’).
Specific ruqya diagnosis is a wonderful tool and through it I got cured from all my spiritual ailments and that is the reason I always talk about it. But at the same time we must not ‘over do it’ and that itself is a rule from the 7 rules (ie ‘rule 7’ for specific ruqya is not to spend too much time on it). 
WASWAS (TYPE 2) CONDITIONING IS NOT A BIDAH.
A spiritual illness is a disease that cannot be seen (unseen) or touched (not physical) but it reacts to ruqya ie it produces physical symptoms when ruqya is applied to it.
There are 4 spiritual ailments that we can all suffer from, namely: Sihr, Ayn, Mass (jinn possession) & Waswas Conditioning.
Unfortunately, many still don’t recognise waswas conditioning (or waswaas type 2) and some may even see it as a bidah which is totally wrong. It cannot be a bidah because it is not an act of worship and is just another illness like cancer or bacterial infection. There are no hadiths that mention treating cancer with ruqya so is it a bidah if someone does ruqya on a cancer patient, obviously not! Likewise if someone treats waswaas conditioning with ruqya, it does NOT make the waswas conditioning or the ruqya itself a bidah. The same explanation applies to treating a sihr or hasd network which are also illnesses. Please read this:
There are no hadiths that mention that you can get jinn possession through sihr or ayn but we still accept this phenomena because we know from experience that via these two spiritual ailments people can get possessed so therefore we should also accept the sihr network or hasd network and even waswas conditioning because THEY ARE ALL REALITIES THAT PATIENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED!
Basically waswas conditioning is an extreme form of waswaas that actually affects the heart of the patient and makes them have psychological problems such as phobias or OCD and it can be detected by ruqya diagnosis. (OCD is actually recognised as a type of psychological disease that is called al waswas al qahri in Arabic and so scholars do understand that there are other forms of waswas (https://islamqa.info/en/39684). I would say that OCD is just a part of this severe waswas type 2 or waswas conditioning)
Waswaas conditioning usually occurs when some sort of drastic or shocking event or incident is experienced by the patient and then this event or incident is repeated several times thereby conditioning the patient. Occasionally, just once is enough to condition the patient and that’s because the patient himself keeps remembering the event and then conditions himself or the qareen or possessing jinnee keeps reminding the patient of the event and then patient gets conditioned. It can also happen via normal waswaas type 1 from the qareen or possessing jinn, turning into waswaas conditioning ie no particular shocking event occurred but the constant waswaas type 1 from the qareen or jinn via emotions or thoughts does the conditioning itself eg making a person hate their spouse by constantly whispering evil thoughts or feelings about the spouse. Even, humans, especially parents can be guilty of causing waswaas conditioning. Take for instance a father who is constantly calling his son ‘stupid’ or a mother who is constantly calling her daughter ‘ugly’. It might even happen indirectly ie a child might see its father screaming and running away from a small harmless spider and then the child becomes conditioned by seeing the actions of the father. In the mind of the child this small house spider is something to be feared because ‘daddy’s scared’.
I, myself, suffered from this waswas conditioning and I have also treated patients who have had it so it is a reality that cannot be denied. The Shariah has not fix the number spiritual ailments that we can suffer from so I am not sure why many people have a problem in accepting this spiritual ailment.
Those people who were once possessed and then Allah cured them from their possession may not feel 100% after being cured from jinn possession and this might be the effects of the waswas conditioning that the possessing jinn left behind, especially in cases of sihr of divorce where the possessing jinn were giving constant waswaas type 1 for spouses to divorce. In such cases, this waswaas conditioning may be in the form of hatred towards a spouse and therefore, it has the potential to cause a divorce, even if there is no possessing jinn! Therefore, all former possessed patients must look into and diagnose themselves for waswas conditioning, especially if they feel as if they are still possessed or if they don’t feel completely cured.
It seems that waswas conditioning can physically affect that heart as we have found through specific ruqya diagnosis. How it exactly causes the problem is unknown but it does damage the heart to an unknown extent. Now, it is already known in modern medicine that heart disease can be caused by stress so it shouldn’t be a surprise that waswas conditioning can also affect the heart in a negative way. Therefore, it is very important for patients to check themselves for waswas conditioning and to treat it as soon as possible if they are diagnosed with it, since it can negatively affect the heart.
If you are possessed by jinn then it seems from experience that you automatically get waswas conditioning straight away and therefore once we diagnose a patient with jinn possession, we do not need to check for waswas conditioning because it is already there.
It is important to mention that once you are cured from waswaas conditioning, then you should keep up with your morning and evening adhkar and inshallah you should never get waswaas conditioning again….ie the adhkar will protect you from waswaas conditioning.
For information on why waswaas conditioning is not a bidah:
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WASWAAS TYPE 1 & TYPE 2 
I think it is important to mention some of the differences between waswas type 1 (or normal waswaas) and waswas type 2 (or waswas conditioning).
1. Waswaas type 1 is neither a physical disease or a spiritual disease. Waswaas type 2 is a spiritual disease.
2. Waswas type 1 is temporary while waswas type 2 is NOT temporary and it sits around the heart and chest area.
3. Waswas type 1 can’t be detected by ruqya diagnosis but waswas type 2 can.
4. Waswas type 1 is in two forms: thoughts, ideas & whispers and also feelings & emotions. Waswas type 2 mainly manifests itself as feelings and emotions. These feelings and emotions themselves are NOT the actual spiritual disease of waswaas conditioning but they are just manifestations of the actual unseen spiritual disease. It is just like when we say that a certain type of sihr can cause cancer but the cancer itself isn’t the real or actual sihr itself but the cancer is just a manifestion of the sihr. We must remember that waswaas conditioning is a spiritual illness which we can’t see or touch but it reacts to ruqya ie the ruqya dua hits the waswaas conditioning and then then waswaas conditioning causes the body to physically react.
5. Waswas type 1 doesn’t need treatment whereas waswas type 2 does need treatment.
6. Waswas type 1 can trigger and activate dormant waswas type 2 into action but waswaas type 2 doesn’t trigger or activate type 1. (Waswas Conditioning symptoms, ie its feelings and emotions, are usually NOT continuously felt by most patients. Waswaas conditioning just sits around the heart area and doesn’t cause a real problem until it is triggered by waswas type 1 which acts as stimulus)
7. Waswas type 1 can become waswaas type 2 but waswas type 2 can’t become waswaas type 1.
8. Waswas type 1 doesn’t damage the heart but waswaas type 2 does. 
HAVING A PHOBIA OR OCD ISSUES CAUSED BY WASWAAS CONDITIONING DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN YOU ARE A SINNER OR YOU HAVE WEAK IMAN
You can get sihr or jinn possession because of your sins or as a test from Allah. Likewise, some may get waswaas conditioning that causes a phobia or OCD or other mental issues because of their sins or as a test from Allah. Therefore, we shouldn’t presume that if someone has a phobia or OCD that they are weak in iman or a sinner because it might just be test for them!
Sadly, I have heard of people criticising a patient for having such mental issues. So they will say things like: ‘Control yourself and stop being afraid of this thing. You should only fear Allah’ or ‘Behave yourself and stop repeating your wudu and salah’. THIS CAN MAKE THE PATIENT’S SITUATION WORSE! I strongly recommend that these people learn about spiritual ailments and their effects.
From anecdotal evidence, we have seen that if these people don’t stop criticising or mocking then Allah himself afflicts them with the very same phobia or OCD that they were mocking or criticising patients for having. ISN’T THAT SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
I would like to say to those patients who are suffering the effects of waswaas conditioning to ignore these people who criticise or mock you and if you get the opportunity then you should teach them about waswaas conditioning using my materials and not forgetting to mention my own phobia of ‘Tower Bridge’, which I discuss on ‘Practical Self Ruqya Part 4’. By teaching them, you will stop them from harming others with their ignorance. 
STEPS TO REDUCE WASWAS TYPE 1 FROM THE POSSESSING JINN (AND EVEN QAREEN)
Let us first mention an answer I gave to a question which will help set up the context for this section of the article. I received this question from Ruqya Support UK and then they published it.
Question:
What do you do if you feel like you are being prevented from making dua because these shayateen are confusing your mind making your heart and mind feel blocked.
The waswasa seems to intensify more when im doing acts of ibadah to the point it becomes unbearable, i dont understand how to get closer to Allah when the things im doing in order to get closer to Him are resulting in the shayateen making me feel more further away from Him.
Am i doing something wrong or is this how most sihr patients feel?
Answer by Raqi Saeed Abdullah
“This is exactly how you are supposed to be brother. Trust me! I had one of these filthy jinn in me. So the fact that the jinn are preventing you from getting close to Allah is an indirect evidence that the ibadah you are currently doing is effective or else they would not bother giving you such waswaas.
So be patient and ignore their waswaas and know that you are actually getting closer to Allah because of how you have enraged the devils to give you this waswaas regarding your worship. Also ignore the feelings of hypocrisy they might throw into your heart such as: ‘How can you do salah when you don’t even feel the pray or feel close to Allah’…..just ignore such thoughts as they themselves put this rubbish of hypocrisy into your heart and the feeling of no khushu in salah and then they want to blame you for this rubbish in your heart when the Devils put them into you themselves……just ignore and keep worshipping Allah and soon they will get weaker since you are drawing closer to Allah…..but don’t increase in your worship of Allah just to get back at the devils..NO, DON’T DO THAT!….You must worship Allah because he is worthy of worship and that is what he created you for…..by doing more worshipping of Allah, the Devils will naturally get weaker and have less influence over you.
Also beware of the devils trying to make you blame Allah such as: ‘See what has Allah done for you…..he doesn’t even help you when you want to worship him and he doesn’t help you against the devils’…..ignore such rubbish that comes from the devils and always think positive of Allah. They are trying to disrupt your relationship with Allah because they know that it is the best way for them get full control of you SO IGNORE WHAT RUBBISH THEY SAY TO YOU IN YOU MIND ABOUT ALLAH…….AND ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE OF ALLAH!”
Obviously, this poor muslim was dealing with waswaas type one but a very intense form of it which is a clear sign that this waswaas type 1 is coming from a possessing jinnee or jinn and NOT from the qareen. This waswaas type one is in 4 forms as we mentioned at the beginning of this article. The possessing jinn (and qareen) will throw and generate a lot of waswaas type 1 in the patient to see and monitor which waswaas affects them the most (remember, as I said above, the possessing jinn can read our mind and thoughts and they carefully look at what waswaas really affects us and then they plan accordingly). Once they find that you are affected by a particular waswaas such as a waswaas of a sexual nature or sexual desire then they will continue with this kind of waswaas until you end up doing zina or at least get very depressed and stop doing ruqya treatment. If they find the patient is affected by waswaas that is to do with the disbelief in Allah or false feelings of hatred towards Allah or false feelings that Allah doesn’t love them or suicidal thoughts and feelings THEN THE POSSESSING JINN WILL CARRY ON USING THESE AGAINST THE PATIENT until they actually do disbelieve in Allah or commit suicide, SO IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE PATIENT DOES NOT AGREE AND START BELIEVING IN THESE EVIL THOUGHTS AND IDEAS EVEN IF THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED WITH THE WASWAAS OF FALSE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THAT ARE CREATED BY THE POSSESSING JINN THEMSELVES. Indeed, the hardest kind of waswaas type 1 is when the whispers or thoughts from the possesing jinn are combined with emotions and feelings that are also generated by the same jinn in the patient. PATIENTS HAVE TO REALISE THAT ALLAH WILL NOT HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CREATE OR GENERATE THEM.
Lets look at some extra advice that should help the patient deal with this situation apart from what I have already said in my answer.
Firstly, sins have to be looked at and that’s because sins strengthen the possessing jinn and give them power to do more waswaas. We have to be honest and be frank with ourselves. ‘Am I sinning”. If you find that you are doing major sins (like disobeying parents) or continuously doing the same minor sins (like listening to music), which causes the minor sins to become major sins in of themselves, THEN YOU NEED TO MAKE TAUBA AND THEN PAY SADAQA TO CANCEL THE SINS. Once you have done the tauba but still feel that the waswaas type 1 is quite strong then you should follow the advice below.
If you can’t find any major sins or are not continuously doing the same minor sins, then this waswaas type 1 that you are experiencing is just a test and not a punishment. If that is the case then you need to do the following steps to reduce this waswaas.
TRY TO DO AS MUCH AS THE FOLLOWING AS YOU CAN:
1. Stay up after fajr.
One of things I noticed while being possessed was that if I stayed awake after fajr salah and did not sleep that waswaas type 1 of the possessing jinn would be reduced.
This also applies to the qareen. So patients should try this and then sleep for an hour after praying dhur salah.
2. Do your morning and evening adkhar.
3. Keep your wudu throughout the day.
4. Once you hear or feel an evil waswaas you should seek refuge in Allah from the shaytan by saying
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجيـمِ (‘A’oothu billaahi minash-Shaytaanir-rajeem) and then if the waswaas continues then do some dhikr of Allah quietly ie subhanullah, alhamdulilah etc. If that still does not give you enough relief then say this dua:
أَعُوذُ بكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ ولَا فَاجِرٌ مِنْ شّرِّ مَا خَلقَ، وبَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ، ومِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وِمنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا، ومِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الأَرْضِ، ومِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا، وِمنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، ومِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ بْخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ
A’oothu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaatil-latee laa yujaawizuhunna barrun wa laa faajimn min sharri maa khalaqa, wa bara’a wa thara’a, wa min sharri maa yanzilu minas-samaa’i, wa min sharri maa ya’ruju feehaa, wa min sharri maa thara’a fil-‘ardhi, wa min sharri ma yakhruju minhaa, wa min sharri fitanil-layli wannahaari, wa min sharri kulli taariqin ‘illaa taariqan yatruqu bikhayrin yaa Rahmaan.

(I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah – which neither the upright nor the corrupt may overcome – from the evil of what He created, of what He made, and of what He scattered, from the evil of what descends from the heavens, and of what rises up to them, from the evil of what He scattered in the earth and of what emerges from it, from the evil trials of night and day, and from the evil of every night visitor, except the night visitor who comes with good. O Merciful One.)

Ahmad 3/419, Ibn As-Sunni (Hadith no. 637).

From experience, we have seen this dua to be very effective in dealing with waswaas type 1. I still use it against my qareen and have found it to be excellent in dealing with crazy thoughts or feelings.

5. Be thankful to Allah and praise him that he has guided you to recognise the waswaas as waswaas……most people don’t know or recognise waswaas.

6. Remove the waswaas conditioning from around your heart area. (See the next section of this article). This will help with dealing with the waswaas of feelings and emotions so when possessing jinn reminds you of an incident, it shouldn’t make you upset or cause you to cringe or to be tearful.
7. Ignore the evil waswaas and don’t pay any attention to it or ponder on it and try to erase it from your mind. It can be very difficult to ignore a particular evil thought, especially when the jinn have also generated an emotion or feeling that goes with it. YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN HANDLE THE SITUATION because Allah does not burden a soul beyond its ability (Quran 2: 286). Just remember that this waswaas type 1 attack that you are facing is something that Allah will reward you for, if you are patient, by removing sins as we mentioned in the beginning of this article. Please remember that at the end of the day, it is ONLY waswaas and it is not something that can kill or cause you serious harm. That’s all the power the filthy jinn have over you and if you really ignore it well then you will have turned the tables on them and caused them to look very weak and feeble. IF IT GETS REALLY DIFFICULT THEN PLEASE SAY THE ABOVE LONG DUA THAT I MENTION IN POINT 4 AND ALSO DO POINT 11. AND THEN DO POINT 6 IE REMOVE WASWAAS CONDITIONING.
(You have to remember that having the waswaas of feelings and emotions especially doubts doesn’t mean the feeling or emotion or doubt is REAL and is coming from yourself. So if you know that you definitely did wudu or prayed and then you get a strong doubt that you did not do wudu or pray then KNOW THAT THE DOUBT IS FROM THE POSSESSING JINN OR QAREEN AND YOU MUST ACTIVELY IGNORE IT AND DO NOT DO WUDU OR PRAY AGAIN IE DON’T ACT ON THIS WASWAAS OF DOUBT. If you don’t ignore it then they will keep making you do wudu and repeating your prays and eventually you could get yourself conditioned which will make it even more difficult to deal with ie they will give you OCD. So before they condition you, you should ACTIVELY IGNORE THE DOUBTS and don’t pay any attention to them)
8. Counter every evil thought with a positive thought so if the devils try to make you think negative of Allah such as “why is Allah not curing you”, you must immediately think of something positive Allah has done for you, such as making you a Muslim. In fact, this positive thought repels every waswaas the devils throw at you.
9. Do a sunnah Fast at least once a week on a Monday or Thursday
10. You should make an independent sadjah (prostration) to Allah and then call on him in this sadjah to remove the waswaas, to cure you from everything and make tauba because sadjah is the best position and time to call on Allah. ALWAYS DO THIS WHEN THE WASWAAS BECOMES INTENSE. This sadjah will cause you to have a sin removed and a good deed added to your account and it will also raise your status by a degree, and therefore it is something the devils are going to hate, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO THE TAUBA IN THE SADJAH! The devils hate when Muslims make tauba to Allah. The evidence for this sadjah can be read here:
Initially, the devils may overload you with intense waswaas when you start to do this sadjah as a way to try to make you stop it. Basically, they are trying to make you think that the sadjah itself has increased your waswaas problem thereby hoping that you will stop doing it. YOU MUST CONTINUE and realise that this is the same trick they used when you started your ruqya diagnosis and treatment ie they increased the waswaas at the beginning of your ruqya, hoping that you would stop ruqya.
This sadjah doesn’t need wudu nor a takbeer so if you are finding it extremely difficult to do then I would suggest that you look at your sins as sins strengthen the power of the jinn over us.
If you follow the above plan then the waswaas should reduce since the devils will realise that you are using them to get closer to Allah and that is something they hate, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO THE LAST PIECE OF ADVICE, NUMBER 10, THE SADJAH (And the 3 duas in sadjah). However, as I said in my answer, DON’T DO ANY OF THE ABOVE TO GET BACK AT THE DEVILS….DO IT FOR  ALLAH AND GETTING CLOSER TO HIM. (What we have mentioned here is also works for those who are not possessed by jinn ie those who are just dealing with the waswaas type 1 from their qareen.)
11. FOR QUICK RELIEF FROM POSSESSING JINN WASWAAS (Anxiety, panic attacks, anger etc) BUT NOT QAREEN.
1. Prepare very cold ruqya water. Place some water in a large bottle (say 1.5 ltr) and put it in a fridge for several hours or overnight and then read ruqya over it, using surahs falaq and nass with the 7 intentions as I explain in the self treatment plan.
2. NOW *with the intention to destroy the possessing jinn and to stop their waswaas,* Drink this very cold ruqya water and place some of this water over your face, head and chest. Don’t just gulp the ruqya water down but hold it in your mouth for about 10 to 15 seconds and then swallow it slowly. You should drink a glass of this ruqya water.
3. You can make ice cubes of this ruqya water as well and place them in your mouth with the same above intention as drinking. It is better and harder on the possessing jinn when you do both actions at the same time ie drink ruqya water with ruqya ice cubes.
4. While holding a ruqya ice cube or some ruqya water or BOTH in your mouth, you should place the prongs or teeth of a fork on the top of your forehead at the beginning of your hairline and press down firmly *with the intention to destroy the possessing jinn and to stop their waswaas.* You should hold the fork, in place, on your forehead for a few minutes. YOU CAN PRESS DOWN WITH THE FORK AS HARD AS YOU LIKE BUT PLEASE DO NOT INJURE YOURSELF OR CAUSE YOURSELF EXCESSIVE PAIN.
NB: I used to do such things when I was ill with jinn possession so it definitely works.
It is harder on the possessing jinn when you hold the ruqya ice cube or ruqya water in your mouth rather than just swallowing them. We also found that it was harder on the jinn when you make the above intentions before/while drinking ruqya water and using the fork.
 
REMOVING WASWAS CONDITIONING USING A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE JET TREATMENT (A HIJAMA & RUQYA TREATMENT)
If you remove the waswaas conditioning from around your heart area (as in the above photo) and keep up with your morning and evening adhkar after the removal then inshallah you will not be reconditioned by the possessing jinn. In fact, you won’t get reconditioned from your qareen or from any humans including yourself. Yes, you can conditioned yourself unintentionally.
(You can learn how to remove waswaas conditioning by following the next link below).
One of the things we have noticed in patients is that if they get rid of the waswaas conditioning via hijama they will start having an increase in the type 1 waswaas that the sahaba had and which they complained about to the Nabi salulahu alayhi wa salam and this is because the qareen has become frustrated and it has no more fears or phobias or other mental issues to use against the patient since they have cleared all of those psychological problems the qareen used to use against them. The Nabi salulahi alayhi wa salam did not tell the sahaba to do ruyqa and he salulahi alayhi wa salam described the waswaas as a clear sign of iman (Muslim). Therefore, patients should not get alarmed by this sudden increase in waswaas type 1 once they are cured from type 2 and they should just ignore it and not pay any attention to it, especially if they are pious Muslims as having this type of waswas is normal for pious Muslims as Ibn Taymiyah explains below:
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Kitab al-Eeman: “The believer may suffer from the whispers of the Shaytan insinuating thoughts of kufr (disbelief), which may make him feel distressed. The Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them) said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, some of us think thoughts which we would rather fall from heaven to earth than speak of them.’ He said, ‘That is a clear sign of faith.’ According to one report, ‘… thoughts which are too terrible to speak of.’ He said, ‘Praise be to Allah, Who has reduced all his [the Shaytan’s] plots to mere whispers,’ meaning that the fact that these whispers come, but they are so greatly disliked, and they are pushed away from the heart, is a clear sign of faith. This is like the mujahid (warrior) to whom the enemy comes, but he resists him until he overwhelms him, and this is a mighty jihad (battle)… Hence the seekers of knowledge and devoted worshippers experience waswas and doubts which others do not face, because they (the others) are not following the way prescribed by Allah, rather they are following their own whims and desires and neglecting to remember their Lord. This is what the Shaytan wants, in contrast to those who are striving to draw closer to their Lord by seeking knowledge and worshipping Him. He is their enemy and seeks to prevent them from drawing closer to Allah.” (p.147 of the Indian edition)

POSSESSING JINN INCREASING WASWAS WHEN YOUR EMOTIONAL OR WHEN YOUR NATURAL DESIRES ARE AROUSED OR WHEN YOUR PHYSICAL NEEDS NEED TO BE FULFILLED 
The possessing jinn are opportunistic and they are always trying to find the best way to attack you. They know that when you are emotional or when your natural desires are aroused that you are more vulnerable and more susceptible to listen to their waswaas suggestions. So if they find that you are particularly angry, then they will use that situation against you and try to make you do certain things or sins by convincing you via waswaas so it is very important to control anger during your spiritual illness. This CONTROL also applies to other emotions such as sadness or depression and even excessive happiness, they all need to be controlled and monitored. With regard to natural desires and physical needs, then if you are able to fulfill them in a halal manner THEN YOU SHOULD DO THAT IMMEDIATELY and you should not postpone it. (This applies to sexual desires and even hunger, thirst sleep and disposal of  bodily waste – urine & feaces). 
If you don’t then you will put yourself into a vulnerable state and the possessing jinn can exploit this susceptible state of yours to their advantage. The jinn can use your vulnerability against you and they can make you succumb to your desires and you could end up doing a sin or something else that they have been planning for you such as pronouncing a divorce. (The only time you don’t have to worry about these natural desires or instincts is when you are fasting) Remember, the ideal waswaas for the jinn is to make it seem very natural so that you carry out what they want you to do without any reservations because you believe it to be yourself and the best times for this type of deception is when you are in a vulnerable or susceptible state with regards to your natural and physical needs.
POSSESSING JINN INCREASING THE WASWAS DURING MENSTRUATION
Sisters have to realise that when they have their monthly period, the waswaas will usually increase and that is because the possessing jinn know that you are more emotional and therefore MORE susceptible to listen to their waswaas so they make a special effort to make you do sins via their waswaas during your period or they try and convince you of ideas or thoughts that you did not accept previously outside of your period. The first thing sisters need to do is NOT become alarmed by this increase and they should follow the steps I mention above on how to reduce waswaas (except doing wudu and fasting). Surprisingly, many sisters do not do any dhikr during their period or even ruqya AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE WASWAAS FEELS WORSE! It is permissible to do ruqya and dhikr during your period. Please read this: https://islamqa.info/en/152742 
POSSESSING JINN THROWING HASD (envy) AND KIBR (evil pride) INTO YOUR HEART
It is imperative that you stop and check every feeling, emotion or thought that crosses your mind while you are possessed. It can be mentally tiring but it is essential that you do this because you cannot afford to be deceived by jinn. Two feelings that the jinn may occassionally use against you is hasd (envy) and kibr (evil pride). They will try to make you feel hasd and kibr towards your brothers and sisters since these particular feelings may lead you to do sins so you must obviously ignore and not act upon them. For example, you may see a Muslim giving a talk or leading prays or you may see a Muslim with more Islamic knowledge or wealth than you. As soon as you notice this positive attribute in the Muslim, the possessing jinn (and even the qareen) may create or generate these 2 evil feelings in you and will hope that you act upon them. At the same time as generating these evil feelings, the jinn may also impersonate you, in your mind, as if you are talking to yourself: “That guy speaking isn’t as good as me and I have more knowledge than him”. You must come to your senses and get a hold of the situation and totally reject such speech in your mind. (The Muslims must be smart and ask themselves ‘why am I feeling like this towards my brother and why am I hearing such speech in my mind’!)
If you ever get any of these two evil feelings for muslims then the best thing to do is to seek refuge from the shaytan and IGNORE THE FEELINGS then IMMEDIATELY start making dua for for the Muslim and ask Allah to increase them in the quality or thing you have seen in them and to also say ‘Allahumma barik alayhi’ (for males) or ‘Allahumma barik alayha’ (for females) so as not to give them the evil eye. The wonderful thing about making dua for your brother or sister in their absence is that an angel will also make the same dua for you – as has been mentioned in a hadith (Muslim). You may only have had a natural surprise at what you saw in your brother or sister but the jinn will sense this amazement and then throw hasd or kibr into your heart. Making a lot of dua for your brother or sister will cause these evil feelings to quickly subside and then disappear, which is a clear proof that those feelings were not naturally generated by yourself.
How sad it is to see many Muslims acting upon such feelings, like giving Muslims  ‘dirty looks’ (angry looks) without even understanding that the original feeling itself, which they just acted upon, was actually generated by their possessing jinn or qareen. It is as if they have absolutely no clue how the possessing jinn or qareen actually work and deceive people so you may find some people warning against a particular Muslim because of envy that was generated by the jinn and not think that they have done anything haram.
Hasd (envy) is an evil feeling so as soon as you sense it, you need to counteract it and not let it fester in you. If you leave it alone and don’t take any measures against it then it will consume you and then you may end up being a source of the evil eye of envy.
Sadly, in the field of teaching Islam, you find a lot of jealous envious people who cause a lot of fitna between Muslims because they do exactly what the jinn want them to do by acting on the feelings of hasd. If students of knowledge were to just pause and wait and think carefully before acting upon certain feelings then a lot of fitna between Sheikhs, students of knowledge and raqis could have been avoided.
It is extremely disappinting to see so called Sheikhs, students of knowledge and raqis having severe hatred for each other and warning lay people to not learn from such and such because he is not calling to the sunnah. When you ask for the evidence of these major errors that they have identified, you find that they only give you petty trivial mistakes or slips of the tongue that could be easily rectified by asking for clarification or by making excuses for the perpetrator. When you break down a lot of these squabbles and disputes, you find that hasd generated by the possessing jinn or qareen is at the core of it but sadly some these so called Sheikhs, students of knowledge and raqis are totally oblivious to this. So therefore it is essential that they sit down and actually study this issue of waswaas and how the possessing jinn and qareen use waswaas to cause discord between Muslims. You are really putting yourself at a disadvantage, when giving dawah or teaching Islam or ruqya, if you don’t know or understand the number one means of shaytanic deception, namely waswaas! If you can’t deal with the internal deception then how can you possibly deal with external deception.
Allah has told us in several places in the Quran to take the Shaytan and his helpers as enemies and not to get deceived by them and not to follow them even partially ie ‘don’t follow their footsteps’. One of the first Islamic lessons that need to be taught, at the same time as Tawheed, is the waswas deceptions and games of the qareen and possessing jinn. Islamic teachers have to explain to their students these waswas games of the qareen using real life examples and even their own experiences. If Muslims are not taught this knowledge of waswas then they may end up falling into sin or divorcing their spouse because they believe the waswas to be their own natural feelings. 
WASWAAS TO MAKE YOU FEEL BORED WITH YOUR RUQYA TREATMENT
One of the things that I have noticed in patients is the feeling of being bored with doing ruqya treatment. Again this is deception from the possessing jinn so that patients stop doing ruqya treatment. At the same time as generating this feeling of boredom in the patients, the jinn will impersonate them in their minds as if they are talking to themselves and say: “I’m really bored and I can’t see how this ruqya is going to cure me. I don’t think I have got the will power to continue. Anyway, I won’t be sinful if I stop ruqya”……..and other sayings like this.
If you are using surahs falaq and nass for treatment, you may find the jinn telling you that these surahs are too short and boring and they are for children. The jinn do this because they know how effective they actually are for self ruqya.
If a patient is feeling this waswaas of boredom then I would suggest they do the following, which seem reduce it:
1. Think of the reward of reading the Quran and pleasing Allah when doing self ruqya.
2. That the feeling of boredom doesn’t mean your ruqya treatment isn’t working.
3. If you are using surahs falaq and nass for self ruqya, then temporarily switch to using others surahs of the Quran with the 7 intentions I describe in the self treatment notes. Once the feeling of boredom goes then go back to using surahs falaq and nass for self ruqya.
4. Change the environment where you do your self ruqya so instead of doing it in the bedroom then do it in the kitchen or garden or on the balcony.
5. Do the self ruqya while you around friends or relatives.
6. Do the self ruqya while walking or standing.
7. If non of the above works for you then you must fight and ignore the waswaas. We can’t just give in and allow the possessing jinn to dictate to us and to control us. You are in a real fight and cannot just give up because you will not get better if you stop your self ruqya. 
TAKING TALBINA (BARLEY FLOUR) TO REDUCE THE WASWAAS TYPE 1 OF ANXIETY & DEPRESSION FROM THE POSSESSING JINN
There are a number of hadith that talk about the benefits of Talbina in removing grief from the heart.
It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that if a member of her family died, the women would gather together, then they would depart, except her own relatives and close friends. She would order that a pot of talbeenah be cooked, then some thareed would be made and the talbeenah would be poured over it. Then she would say: Eat some of it, for I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Talbeenah soothes the heart of the sick person, and it takes away some of the grief.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5101; Muslim, 2216.
It was narrated from her (may Allaah be pleased with her) that she would order that talbeenah be made for the sick and the one who was mourning a death, and she used to say: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Talbeenah soothes the heart of the sick and takes away some of the grief.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5365;
Muslim, 2216
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated, “If any of the Messenger’s (peace be upon him) family became ill, the Messenger (pbuh) would say, ‘It (talbina) soothes the grieving heart and cleanses the ailing heart just as one of you cleans dirt off his face with water.’ ” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3445), hadeeth hasan].
These hadiths talk about the natural sadness and grief that people feel at the time of the death of someone (bereavement) and how talbina is good at treating them. However, from experience, it also seems to help to reduce the waswaas of unnatural depression and anxiety, which is generated or created by the possessing jinn, by giving a patient some ease in their heart. Because of this, I would advise every patient who is having issues with anxiety and depression to regularly take it.
I would also strongly recommend that sisters who are possessed to take it during their menstruation so as to reduce the effects of the waswaas that the jinn inevitability increase during this time of the month.
We have seen it being very beneficial for any sort of sadness or depression that can affect even a person who does not have any spiritual illness. So Muslims should always have some Talbina in their homes to treat themselves.
You should prepare the talbina the same way as you prepare porridge oats or semolina using milk and water to cook it. You should use honey to sweeten it and then read ruqya over the mixture before eating it for breakfast, although you can have it anytime during the day or whenever you feel particularly down or depressed and need a ‘pick-up’. 
TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS TEMPORARILY TO DEAL WITH WASWAS
There is no harm in taking antidepressants for a short period of time. THERE IS NOTHING HARAM ABOUT THESE DRUGS. I would recommend them for certain cases where the jinn has a lot of influence over the patient but it would only be for a limited period of time. While taking these medicines, the patient would need to rectify their iman and increase ruqya treatment and other treatments I talk about in the self treatment plan especially the JET. By the time they stop taking these medicines, their iman should be much stronger and their jinn should have been weakened by the treatment so that it can’t give any strong waswaas.
These medicines are particularly useful for those patients who have jinn that manifest completely, speak and have been hospitalized with a mental illness. This is because these drugs are able to subdue the possessing jinn to some extent and make it difficult for the jinn to manifest completely and speak. These medicines also help to reduce the ability of the possessing jinn to give extreme or strong waswaas of feelings and emotions to the patient. Nevertheless, the medicines are not the cure for jinn possession or even waswaas conditioning and they just give us some time for us to teach the patient about ruqya treatment and to get the patient to correct their iman and stop sinning because JINN ONLY SPEAK IN SINNING MUSLIMS. For more information on why jinn speak in people:
TRAINING THE NAFS SO AS TO REDUCE ITS WASWAS TYPE 1 FOR SINS
The nafs itself can give waswaas type 1 (Quran 50:16) which then can become waswaas conditioning, if it is repeated.
The waswaas type 1 that comes from the nafs itself can be reduced and stopped by obeying Allah and avoiding sins (https://islamqa.info/en/39684). There may be certain sins that the nafs enjoyed in the past like listening to music or smoking and so when it confronts these again in life, it may yearn and desire to do these sins. The level of this yearning will be dependent upon the level of iman the patient has. If the patient has strong iman then the nafs will not give any waswaas type 1 to commit sins.
If Muslims keep rejecting these calls of the nafs to do sins and they do good deeds, then they will be able to overcome the waswaas type 1 of the nafs and eventually train the nafs to abhor those past sins and then the nafs will no longer give waswaas type 1 to commit those sins ie the person’s own nafs won’t be desiring to do sins such as smoking.
The possessing jinn (and qareen) are quite aware of the past sins of Muslims so they will try to encourage the nafs to yearn and commit those same sins. They will monitor the nafs’ state and if they sense it is yearning to do a particular sin, they will encourage and they may even add their own waswaas to the nafs’ waswaas. However, after removing waswaas conditioning for particular sins  and training the nafs to give up and abhor sins, the possessing jinn will not be able to use the nafs or waswaas conditioning against the Muslims especially when they do their morning and evening adhkar. The possessing jinn will then have to generate and throw waswaas by itself at the nafs in order for it to try and make it do those previous sins again.
If a Muslim removes the waswaas conditioning and trains his nafs well to obey Allah and does his protection adhkar, then the only real issue he will have to deal with is the nafs natural attraction for opposite gender. If the nafs has been disciplined well then it should not give any waswaas type 1 to look at an attractive member of the opposite gender for a second time (Only the qareen and possessing jinn would try and make such a Muslim have a second look).
All of this highlights the fact that in order to train the nafs, we need to do 3 things:
1. Remove any waswaas conditioning that is to do with sins so that the qareen or possessing jinnee can’t make use of it.
2. Obey Allah and to keep away from sins
3. Do protection adhkar in the morning and evening.
If a Muslim is able to do all 3 successfully then the only waswaas type 1 they will be dealing with is the one from the qareen and possessing jinn (if they are possessed).
As we have said earlier, about the difference between waswaas type 1 and 2, that waswaas type 2 does not cause waswaas type 1 and so if a person has been conditioned to do a particular sin (ie they have waswaas type 2 to do a sin) then this waswaas conditioning for a particular sin only gets activated by waswaas type 1 from the qareen or possessing jinnee or nafs (but only if the nafs has been corrupted by sins and the patient has weak iman) and therefore this waswaas conditioning for a particular sin doesn’t not independently affect a patient in terms of waswaas and just sits around the heart or chest and doesn’t generate waswaas type 1 or cause any problems by itself unless it gets activated by aforementioned three. Having said that, waswaas conditioning should not be left alone and it should be removed because it can damage the heart.
PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION & MASTURBATION  IN POSSESSED PATIENTS
One of the worse types of waswaas that I have to deal with in a few patients is the waswaas to watch porn and to masturbate. Usually, it is male patients that watch porn and then masturbate or they masturbate while watching porn. The sisters don’t usually watch porn but they still masturbate during bedtime or in the shower or bath tub.
The reason why this waswaas is so strong is because of the natural sexual desire that everyone has and the subsequent corruption of the nafs from doing this evil deed of masturbation that has then lead the nafs to generate its own waswaas type 1 to do this sin of masturbation. On top that, the nafs becomes conditioned to do the sin of masturbation (waswaas conditioning) which can intensify urge to masturbate when the waswaas conditioning is activated by waswaas type 1. (As we have said earlier, that waswaas type 2 mainly manifests itself as or causes emotions and feelings and it needs waswaas type 1 to activate it from our experience. If it is not activated then it just sits around the heart or chest area) Therefore possessed patients with this problem can have 3 sources of waswaas type 1 that urge them to masturbate: the NafsQareen & possessing jinn. When you add to these 3, the natural sexual desire and also the waswaas conditioning to masturbate (which has been activated by waswas type 1 from the qareen, nafs or possessing jinn), then it can be quite overpowering desire to masturbate which can cause brothers and sisters to literally cry and you may even find patients rushing home or jumping out of bed to committ the sin of masturbation.
Patients with this problem should:
1. Make tauba with all its conditions.(You should feel sad that you have sinned and that you must make a firm intention to not go back and repeat the sin. (The jinn may block your emotions and play with your heart so you might not feel that much regret or sadness about doing the sin but at least acknowledge with your mind that you hate the fact that you have sinned) Preferably, pray 2 rakah salatul tauba, making sure you make a fresh wudu even if you have wudu and then to make the tauba while still in salah, while sitting in tashahhud position and just before the salams ie the last thing you do before the salams is the tauba: Astaghfirullah wa Atoobo ilayh).
2. Pay sadaqah to remove the sin.
3. Get rid of the laptop or phone that you use to access this material or ask an expert to block your access.
4. Remove the waswaas conditioning from around your heart area (See above subtitle & photo). This treatment really helps such patients 
5. Follow the above 11 steps to reduce waswaas type 1 (See above subtitle)
6. Always have a ruqya soup bath first (or use ruqya soup ingredients in the shower) and then have your normal wash. Read ruqya on your shampoo and shower gel. This will reduce the effects of a waswas attack to masturbate while cleaning yourself.
7. Rub ruqya olive oil (preferably with some ruqya soup ingredients) all over your body, especially your private parts, before you sleep.
8. You should be doing your morning and evening adhkar, and also your adkhar before sleeping. 
CREATING YOUR WASWAS YARDSTICK
It is extremely important for muslims to realise that we have a shaytan with us that is constantly looking for ways to deceive us and corrupt our religion. Every muslim has a qareen with them and if you are possessed with jinn then you have more waswaas to deal with. We must make some sort of mental effort to work out what these filthy creatures are whispering to us. These creatures are definitely getting up to some mischief and THEY ARE NOT JUST SITTING THERE AND OBSERVING YOU and it is our job to try and work out what they are doing so we don’t end up following them and committing haram.
Have you ever thought about what are they whispering to you?
You can differentiate between your natural thoughts and feelings and that of the jinn by sincerely asking Allah to guide you, just like when you ask Allah to help you work out if your jinn affliction is due to sins or is it a test to raise your status. The next step is to create your waswaas yard stick that you use to help you know when the possessing jinn is giving you waswaas type 1.
To create a waswaas yard stick, you basically need to mentally log down in your mind the feelings and thoughts you get. When you definitely know that a waswaas is from the jinn then you need to make note of it. At this stage, there is no need to differentiate between the qareen waswaas and the possessing jinn waswaas, just treat them as one for now because these filthy jinn work together to destroy you and are not going make things easy for you.
The waswaas type 1 will be in the form of thoughts and ideas or feelings and emotions and all these 4 will seem and feel exactly the same as if you had actually generated them yourself.
Sometimes you will think that the talking or whispers of jinn in you is yourself speaking to yourself when in reality it is the jinn trying to convince you to do something or not do something. The reason it is difficult to differentiate is because it is done the exactly the way that you talk to yourself naturally and with a similar method and style and also the jinnee mimics your own voice you use in your mind. They will even use the first person pronoun ‘I or me’ in your mind as if you are talking to yourself so for example, if people keep accidentally bumping into you while you walk to the masjid, the jinnee will impersonate and pretend to be you, talking to yourself, and say in your mind “I’m getting tired of all this bumping into me”, when in reality, it was not you at all! This example becomes even worse if you are naturally angry or if the jinn generate some anger to go along with this whisper of theirs in your mind. Therefore, it is very important to think carefully before acting upon any emotion, feeling or whisper especially with regards to Muslims. If the Muslims ponder and think carefully before they open their mouths or act with their limbs, they would realise that most of the fitna between themselves is caused by the waswaas from their possessing jinn or their qareen.
Once you have created your waswaas yardstick (by mentally noted down enough clear and different examples of waswaas from your possessing jinn or qareen), you should compare any NEW waswaas that you experience with your yardstick and see if you can find a similar waswaas in your yardstick and once you find a match, you should keep well away from following that waswaas. You should also ignore certain emotions or feelings that they give you at particular times. For example, they may make you feel embarassed to pray in public at the airport in front of non Muslims, when previously such a salah in public never caused you a problem. They may also throw some fear in your heart when you find yourself in a particular situation. These two emotions are ones they particular like to use as they can be difficult for patients to know that they are coming from jinn, be it possessing jinn or qareen. However, once you realise that the emotion is stemming from jinn, the jinn quickly back off and the emotion quickly subsides and you no longer feel any of the emotion.
WASWAS TYPE 1 FROM POSSESSING JINN BETWEEN SPOUSES
When you are treating yourself for any jinn possession, be it from sihr or ayn or any other means, you must do 3 essential things:
1. Ruqya treatment
2. Hijama and other treatments such as taking black seeds and honey.
3. Fighting and ignoring the waswaas.
The first two most patients do easily. However, the last one is not really focused on or the patients do not see it as a form of treatment. This last one basically psychological destroys the jinn while the first two physically destroy them. War is always in two parts: physical warfare and mental warfare. So you find in the Quran that Allah throws fear into the hearts of his enemies and from the sunnah we know the Nabi salulahu alayhi wasalam said that his enemies feared him from a distance of a month.
Jinn are beings such as ourselves and psychological attacking them causes them to become weak and less enthusiastic to carry out their plans against you. HOWEVER WHEN YOU IGNORE AND FIGHT THE WASWAAS YOU MUST DO IT FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH AND TO GET CLOSE TO HIM AND NOT TO GET BACK AT JINN. (This rule also applies to when you are doing your ruqya treatment and other treatments).
Obviously, the only way you can know that you have a particular type of sihr or if the possessing jinn is trying to do something to you is by doing specific ruqya diagnosis. Hence, the importance of knowing how to do specific ruqya diagnosis. Please watch practical self ruqya part 2 on youtube for information about this:
Once you realise via specific ruqya diagnosis that you have sihr to cause a divorce then you must fight the waswaas of divorve and ignore it. You fight it by going against any negative thoughts or feelings the jinn put in your heart about your spouse.
The spouses who have sihr between them need to give love and affection to each other and literally FORCE themselves to express this love physically and verbally. They can’t use the excuse that we can’t do that because of the sihr. Sihr is an classified as a type of illness and therefore, it can be an excuse to not have children or to have reduced libido but IT CANNOT EVER BE USED AS AN EXCUSE TO ABUSE A SPOUSE OR BEAT A SPOUSE OR NOT GIVE A SPOUSE LOVE, ATTENTION AND AFFECTION. THIS LOVE MUST BE EXPRESSED PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY. Sihr cannot certainly be ever used as an excuse to commit zina or other sins unless the jinnee has completely manifested itself and taken over the patient and therefore the patient would be classed as majnoon (insane).
What we advise couples to do is to fear Allah as best as they can (Quran: 64, 16) and do ALL that they are capable of doing and NOT use the excuse ‘I don’t feel like doing that’ when they are ABLE to do something for their spouse. True, a spouse might not want to say to his or her spouse ‘I really love you’ or ‘sorry’ because of the strong waswaas but they must fight this waswaas feeling and actually say ‘I love you’ or ‘sorry’ and give their husband or wife a cuddle or hug and do other things that demonstrate love and affection . They will be excused for not having the ‘love’ in their hearts or any sexual desires because that is beyond their control since they have sihr of divorce but they can still smile, kiss and cuddle and do other things to make their spouse happy and feel wanted.
There will be times when you have to go against the grain and literally push yourself emotionally to do things for your spouse. Because of the very strong negative emotions from the possessing jinn, you may have to grit your teeth and psych yourself up to do something VERY SIMPLE like making a cup of tea for your spouse or apologising to him or her. All you need to remember is that Allah will reward you for all the fighting and ignoring of the waswaas and this fact should help you beat the jinn.
This fighting and ignoring the waswaas can be applied to different situations and this obviously depends on what the patient diagnosed themselves with. So if they diagnosed themselves with sihr to stop them from working then they need fight and ignore it and go to work especially if they are a married man as it is an obligation for men to provide for their families.
ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF FIGHTING AND IGNORING THE WASWAAS TYPE 1 OF THE POSSESSING JINN IS THAT ONCE YOU ARE CURED FROM IT, YOU WILL FIND THAT THE WASWAAS OF THE QAREEN IS EASY TO DEAL WITH. 
CONCLUSION
We looked at and mentioned how you should deal with waswass type 1 from your possessing jinn. The lessons you learnt from your struggles are valuable. This is because the same games, tricks and deceptions the possessing jinn used against you are exactly the same things your qareen does to you. So once you clear your jinn possession you can immediately implement the skills and tactics you acquired and learnt against your own qareen. Obviously, the waswaas will not be as strong as the possessing jinn and this is the only problem you may face so do not presume that since the waswaas is a bit weaker or subtle, it must be yourself or your own natural feelings. 
Please remember the qareen has been with you since birth and therefore it knows a lot about you. You need to be aware and now create a new mental yardstick to measure and log different scenarios in your life that you know that were from your qareen. Your previous mental yardstick from your jinn possession days will still be valid in some areas and you can refer back to that. Your job now with your qareen is to work out what is still applicable to your qareen from your previous mental yardstick and what was possessing jinn’s waswaas. Once you realise what were your qareen’s waswaas then you may refer back to these scenarios to deal with new situations.
One of the signs of iman and an indication that you have your qareen under control is when the waswaas from the qareen is severe and it whispers and gives you crazy unimaginable thoughts that you cannot articulate or explain to anyone. This is exactly what the sahaba went through and the Nabi salulahu alayhi wasalam explained it as the reality of iman and he did NOT tell them to do any ruqya.
After you remove the waswaas conditioning, these crazy thoughts from the qareen will not cause you to cringe or feel terrible…….they will just come and go and not affect you in the slightest and your situation will be just like the above example of the Sahaba. You should just ignore them and not worry about them and just seek refuge in Allah from the Shaytaan.
Sadly, many Muslims do not think too much about what their qareen is getting up to. IT IS DEFINITELY DOING SOMETHING AND NOT JUST SITTING THERE AND OBSERVING. If you don’t have any clue at what it is doing or what it has done in the past then I sincerely ask you to analyse your life and try work out what games it is playing with you.
