Self Ruqya Is Better Than Listening To Ruqya Audio

I have noticed that some people are using ruqya audios even though they have the strength to do self ruqya. It seems that they haven’t fully understood or grasp the fact that there is no comparison between self ruqya and ruqya audio. I even heard of people who believe that listening to ruqya audio is the best form of ruqya and they actively encourage people to listen to audio ruqya rather than doing self ruqya, which is quite amazing!

IT IS NOT HARAM TO LISTEN TO RUQYA AUDIO. IN FACT, SOMETIMES I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO IT ESPECIALLY PATIENTS WHO ARE EXTREMELY TIRED OR ILL BECAUSE OF THEIR AFFLICTION. THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO RUQYA AUDIO UNTIL THEY GET THE STRENGTH BACK TO DO SELF RUQYA.

Having said that the reasons why you should try to avoid ruqya audio are:

1. It is better to do 10 minutes of self ruqya (with those 7 intentions I mention) than to listen to 1 hour ruqya audio. This is because in self ruqya you are basically worshipping Allah directly via the ruqya itself and you are beseeching him directly for the cure without any intermediary or third party i.e no one is asking Allah on your behalf, YOU ARE ASKING ALLAH YOURSELF! Listening to ruqya audio is similar to the one who chases Raqis and asks them to read on him or her, you are basically getting someone else to ask Allah for you and you are lowering your status with Allah by listening to it when you could raise your status with Allah by doing self ruqya.

2. Sometimes we don’t really know what the intention of the Raqi is who made the audio: Is it diagnosis or treatment or is it a combination of diagnosis or treatment? Instead of having this dilemma of not knowing if the ruqya audio is for diagnosis or treatment, why don’t you just do your own self ruqya treatment, where you can be confident that the correct treatment intention is present.

Diagnosis reactions are always stronger than treatment reactions since in diagnosis you are asking Allah to SHOW YOU SIGNS of sihr etc, whereas with treatment, you are asking Allah for the cure. If the audio is a diagnosis one but you mistakenly believe it to be a treatment audio and listen to it, then it will just agitate your affliction and disturb your jinn, causing the jinn to react but not actually providing any cure because it wasn’t suppose to do that as it was for diagnosis and not treatment.

You may get more reactions from listening to ruqya audio than you would get from doing self ruqya but don’t believe that the ruqya audio is stronger than your own self ruqya….it might be that the audio is a combined diagnosis and treatment ruqya audio. So beware of that!
Whatever is the case, we already know from our understanding of the Quran & Sunnah that self ruqya is always better than going to Raqis or listening to ruqya audio (which is a sort of going to a Raqi) So no matter what reactions you get during listening to ruqya audio, even if they feel stronger than self ruqya, WE STILL SAY THAT SELF RUQYA IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN RUQYA AUDIO OR GOING TO RAQIS!

3. Usually ruqya audios only focus on one ailment such as sihr or are even more specific and just deal with sihr of divorce. The problem here is that the audio is not treating any other sihr that you might be affected by. Also, from what we know about most audios (and even Raqis), is that it won’t cover waswaas conditioning….so any phobias that the victim has will just remain and not get treated because no intention is there in the ruqya audio to ask Allah to cure waswaas conditioning that causes phobias.

4. Being connected to a Hasd network (as an object or victim) can block ayn treatment and in fact ayn itself can block sihr treatment, as we have seen from experience. So in order to treat the sihr properly you need to also focus on ayn and hasd network as well. Unfortunately, if you just listen to sihr ruqya audio, you won’t be treating the ayn, let alone the hasd network. On top of that, most audios and Raqis won’t be treating the sihr network which in of itself can block sihr treatment, as I found from my own experience of treating myself.

5. Some ruqya audios weren’t originally made for ruqya but for listening or memorising the Quran i.e some muslims just cut and paste normal Quran audio that was made to help muslims memorise the Quran and then they sell it or distribute it as Ruqya Audio……La ilaha ilalah!……so then it won’t be obviously as effective since the Qari didn’t make the intention for ruqya in the first place, and his intention for reading the Quran was for something else, like teaching Quran.

In conclusion, try to avoid ruqya audio if you have the strength to do self ruqya. SELF RUQYA SHOULD ALWAYS BE YOUR FIRST OPTION!

How Sins Affect Possessed Muslims & Why Jinn Speak In Them

Tabulating The Effects Of Possessing Jinn On Muslim Patients

This table and the data it presents has been produced from conclusions and observations from my own jinn possession experience and other cases I and my students have treated and dealt with over a number of years.

Other Ruqya Practitioners/Therapists may differ in their opinions regarding the issue of how sins affect a possessed person.

WE BELIEVE THE MAIN REASON WHY SOME MUSLIM PATIENTS ARE UNABLE TO DO SELF RUQYA IS BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS! 

It is important to know the effects of the jinn on possessed patients and to know what needs to be done to improve their condition or to remove it. Excluding children, the possessed Muslim patients’ situation is either due to sins or it is a test. If it is due to sins then obviously they need to stop sinning. If it is a test they need to be patient with what Allah has decreed for them.

Effects 2  – 12, in the table attached, are due to sins, NOTHING ELSE!. We have never found, seen or heard these issues in pious Muslims or children below the age of puberty. Jinn can enter a very pious Muslim, a child or a sinning Muslim but the possessing jinn will NEVER BE ABLE TO SPEAK in a pious Muslim or child below puberty, while THEY ARE AWAKE and NOT SLEEPING!! This is because the jinn are unable to control or have power over the mind or limbs of  a strong believer (Quran 16:99 & 4:76 & 17:65) and because the child below puberty is sinless and not accountable.

What we have mentioned above regarding the jinn speaking in sinning patients is also applicable to other manifestations of the jinn in sinning patients such as crying, laughing, screaming, wailing, groaning and other than them ie all of these states are due to the patient’s sins. In fact, the jinn may completely manifest but then decide to remain silent and not make any sound and just sit there looking around the room, meaning it has the ability to speak but it doesn’t want to. Also, It may not have the ability to speak so it uses sign language, gestures, limb or head movements, like nodding, to communicate to the raqi. The main thing here is NOT to restrict and to think that I am just talking about jinn that speak in patients, but rather I am talking about a series of manifestations of the possessing jinn that use the voice, mouth, head or limbs of the patient to communicate.

If these possessed pious people and children below puberty were to totally relax their bodies and allow ruqya to really affect them, the possessing jinn would still not have the ability to take over them and start speaking. These people do not have to make any special effort to stop the jinn manifesting completely and speaking during a ruqya session. They have full control of their minds and bodies during ruqya and they never ever have to worry about jinn speaking, no matter how much agitation the possessing jinn receive from the ruqya or any other means such as hijama.

If you are one of those patients who has to make a real conscious effort to force and stop your possessing jinn from speaking during a ruqya session, then you are in a better position than others but you still have issues with sins (i.e you are sinning) because if you were to relax your body and ‘let go of yourself’, the possessing jinn, in you, would take over and start speaking. Your aim should be to stop sinning and then become like the aforementioned pious people, who can totally relax themselves during ruqya and not worry about their jinn taking over and speaking.

If we see any effect from 2 – 12, from the attached pdf table, in a muslim patient and they are awake and not sleeping, then this is a sign that the jinn have gained power and control over them and which can ONLY mean that they must have committed sins to be in that particular state!
Possessing jinn can only REALLY gain power and control over a muslim when they have been sinning and that is why possessing jinn, especially sihr jinn, encourage the patient to do sins so that the jinn can have control and then make the patient do things such as divorce, murder or any other goal or mission that the jinn want them to do.

There seems to be some confusion about the possessing jinn, external jinn and the qareen jinn. Some Muslims make the error of seeing the possessing jinn like the external jinn when in reality, they should really see the possessing jinn as having similar characteristics and abilities as the qareen jinn that every human has. Now, external jinn can kill humans and cause much more havoc and chaos than either the qareen or any possessing jinn so it is incorrect to see the external jinn and possessing jinn in the same light. It is more correct and befitting to see the possessing jinn like the qareen. We all know that our qareens can be subdued and weakened once we follow Islam properly and keep away from sins and we do not have any difference of opinion regarding this issue of sins and their relationship to strengthening the qareen. Indeed, this fact is so well known and agreed upon by all Muslims that there is no need for me to give any evidence for it. Understanding this fact and also knowing that the qareen and possessing jinn are in our bodies, then it should not be a surprise that the possessing jinn is exactly the same as the qareen with regards to sins so if you have strong iman then your qareen and possessing jinn will be weak and you will be the master of both!

Unfortunately, when I try to explain the reason why jinn speak in patients, some sinning patients get very upset and angry with me as if I am looking down at them or speaking to them in a condescending manner and that is far from the truth. WE ARE ALL SINNERS INCLUDING MYSELF AND THE BEST OF US MAKE TAUBA AND COME BACK TO ALLAH. Just because someone has sinned, it does not mean they can never become part of the best of the Muslims. All they need to do is make tauba and live a much more Islamic life and then they can climb the highest levels of iman and then they will eventually become the most beloved people to Allah.

Sadly, the reason they get so angry is because the possessing jinn are giving them a lot of waswaas via feelings and emotions and they must ignore the waswaas and listen to the advice carefully. The possessing jinn do not want their victims to stop sinning because they will lose their influence and power over their victims so it is in the interest of the possessing jinn to make the victim very angry and upset when the topic of sins is discussed. So it is essential that patients listen to this advice about sins and not get deceived by their possessing jinn’s waswaas and think that this anger and emotions are something that is totally natural and stemming from themselves. Yes, some of the emotions might be natural when we tell a patient to stop sinning but the majority of the emotions and feelings in the patient will come from the possessing jinn because they do not want the patient to listen to the advice to stop sinning.

I sincerely advise all possessed patients who have speaking jinn to look at their sins carefully, especially those sins that are done against their spouses and parents or the sin of believing in negative thoughts about Allah (We are not talking about the minor sins that every Muslim will fall into now and again, but we are talking about the major sins and also doing the same minor sins continuously). WHY DON’T YOU TRY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP SINNING? You have got nothing to lose and all to gain since you will not be wasting your time because every Muslim must regularly check their iman and look at their sins that they have committed. Whenever I have given this advice and it has been accepted by patients whose jinn completely manifest and speak, their jinn stops speaking and the patients can easily do self ruqya. We have NEVER had patients who have speaking possessing jinn, say to me that my opinion is wrong because they are very pious and they don’t commit major sins but they still have speaking jinn……….Isn’t that something to think about!

This advice about stopping sins to control possessing jinn also works for those rare cases where the possessing jinn cause chaos and havoc in a home and the relatives can’t control the patient’s manifesting jinn. Once the jinn have stopped manifesting completely and they have gone back down into the patient’s body and the patient regains temporary control of himself, THAT IS THE TIME TO TELL HIM ABOUT SINS AND TO MAKE TAUBA before another jinn episode that might lead him to being sent to a mental health clinic. If he does implement the advice properly about stopping sins then he will not need any emergency mental health care!

To date, we have not seen any of the pious scholars and students of knowledge with possessing jinn that speak. These people definitely can get possessed but their iman and good deeds of spreading knowledge makes it impossible for jinn to speak in them. I have had the honour of treating such pious people that were possessed. When I would see that they were spiritually ill, then I  would offer to do ruqya on them since they would never ask for it because of the hadith about the 70000 Muslims. THE JINN WOULD NEVER SPEAK IN THESE PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH SOME WOULD HAVE MULTIPLE JINN OR IFREET JINN IN THEM, WHICH IS THE WORSE TYPE OF JINN. So we must understand that this issue has nothing to do with the type or number of jinn in a patient. IT IS ALL TO DO WITH SINS AND IMAN!

There are no documented records of pious scholars and imams of the salaf with speaking possessing jinn walhamdulilah. I could never imagine any jinn speaking in these people because it would be a humiliating and a degrading thing to see jinn speaking in our scholars and imams! These people are the inheritors of our Nabi salalahu alayhi wasalam so Allah would never allow such humiliation to befall them. There is nothing good about jinn speaking in humans and the Muslims must understand that it is a very degrading and humiliating phenomenon.

We have also not seen any speaking jinn in possessed children who are below the age of puberty and that is obviously because they are sinless. Some people have tried to argue or present information that contradicts this opinion but whenever we investigate these claims thoroughly, we find that the child was sleeping during the ruqya OR the child was above the age (i.e the pen had already started writing and so they are Islamically responsible) OR we find that the child was actually below the age of puberty but they were pretending to be a jinnee to get some attention from their parents OR the child was just playing and having fun.

In some situations, it can seem that the jinn are manifesting and speaking through a child below puberty. However, when a raqi with extensive experience examines the child and asks certain questions, we find that there are not any jinn speaking and it was just the child doing all the talking. What has happened is that the child had been heavily influenced with waswaas from the possessing jinn causing the child to behave badly and maybe even swear or even have a temper tantrum. At the same time the jinn may have reacted strongly to the ruqya which caused physical pains and clear limb movements or other problems for the child. A raqi without much experience may conclude that the jinn is manifesting and speaking because of the very strong reactions to the ruqya but if the child is carefully examined then it would be apparent that no jinn spoke and it was just the child speaking. In such situations, it is imperative that the child is believed and not treated as if they are a jinnee. DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF CALLING A CHILD A JINNEE WHEN THEY AREN’T OR FORCING THE CHILD TO ADMIT THAT THEY ARE A JINNEE WHEN THEY AREN’T ONE! If you are in doubt then leave the child alone and seek a raqi’s help. (When I deal with such situations, I always use family members to help me identify if it is jinn or patient speaking ie get family members to listen to my conversations with the patient/jinn)

The waswaas type 1 from a possessing jinn inside a child can be so bad that the child just listens to the jinn and may even lash out at other children or even break things. Please look at the the attached table for more examples of this behaviour.

Some parents don’t even know the signs of puberty and just presume that their children are below the age of islamic accountability and this can cause problems when we try to advise these parents to tell their children to stop sinning since these parents will defend their children and say that their children are below the age of puberty and are therefore sinless. Sometimes, in such cases, the parents do not want to admit that their son or daughter are actually sinning and they will try to cover their children’s sins from us. (One of the sins that these young adults fall into is the sin of being disobedient and rude to their parents which is a major sin and that’s why their jinn manifest and speak). However, once the parents work with us and they realise that we want the best for their family, they readily admit that their son or daughter is sinning and then they themselves advise their children to stop sinning.

Because there is so much confusion regarding this issue of puberty, I am going to briefly mention the signs. The signs of puberty are 4 for girls and 3 for boys and only one sign has to be present and it does not matter which one appears first.

1. Age 15 on the islamic calendar (ie on their 15th Islamic birthday, which is about 14 & half years old on the Gregorian calendar). Therefore, it is important to note down the Islamic birthday of your child but you should not celebrate birthdays.

2. Wet dream. This is the one that parents usually miss and so it is important to regularly ask your children or at least make them aware of this sign. 

3. Growth of pubic hair. This is the coarse hair that grows around the private parts (penis & vagina). Ignore others such as hair under the armpits, moustache etc.

4. Menstruation for girls.

(FOR MORE DETAILS PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL SCHOLARS, IMAMS, SHEIKHS & ISLAMIC TEACHERS)

AN EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RULE

The possessing jinn can only speak and gain control of a pious Muslim’s body or a child below puberty’s body when they have fallen asleep. This is because their souls are no longer in their bodies while sleeping (Quran 39:42) (although, there is still some form of connection between the soul and body during sleep) and the possessing jinn take control and exploit the situation to their advantage and cause mischief, although the pious Muslims (and child) will not be accountable for anything the possessing jinn do with their bodies while they are asleep because the pen has stopped writing (Tirmidhi 1343 and An-Nawawi in Sharh Muslim 8/14).

When the soul of the pious Muslim or child tries to return to their bodies, the possessing jinn may interfere and cause the phenomenon that is known as sleep paralysis. When their souls eventually do return to their bodies completely, the possessing jinn totally lose control of the patients’ bodies and cannot manifest in them and start speaking. This taking control during sleep can also occur to the sinning Muslim as well. However, when the soul of the sinning Muslim returns and they wake up from sleep, the possessing jinn still has full control and can completely manifest and start speaking with or without ruqya. This is not case with the pious Muslim or the child below puberty. When they are FULLY AWAKE and not sleeping (ie their souls have completely returned to their bodies), no matter how much ruqya or agitation their possessing jinn receive, IT WILL NEVER START SPEAKING IN THEM!

It seems from experience that ALL cases of sleep walking and sleep paralysis are to do with jinn possession. So if you know someone who suffers from either of them, then please advise them to do ruqya diagnosis for jinn possession by using my first video ‘Practical Self Ruqya Part 1’ and the self diagnosis notes that can be found on my website.

ALL OF THIS, HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROTECTION DHIKR BEFORE SLEEPING AND THE MORNING AND EVENING ADHKAR. FOR ALL MUSLIMS, REGARDLESS OF AGE OR LEVEL OF IMAN.

PLUS, YOU SHOULDN’T PLAY RUQYA AUDIO OR READ RUQYA ON ANY ADULT OR CHILD PATIENT WHILE THEY ARE SLEEPING BECAUSE THIS MAY CAUSE JINN TO MANIFEST COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY TAKE OVER THE PATIENT’S BODY AND THEN THE POSSESSING JINN MAY ‘SLEEP WALK’ WITH THE PATIENT’S BODY OR DO OTHER DANGEROUS THINGS OR BECOME VIOLENT.

THE SIN OF BELIEVING IN NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OR IDEAS ABOUT ALLAH 

One area of sins in patients that sometimes gets overlooked is the belief in negative thoughts and ideas about Allah or having a negative attitude towards Allah. The reason this sin is overlooked is because it is a hidden sin in the patient’s heart that the general Muslim community cannot see and so they don’t know about it and therefore they cannot give any advice to the patient to stop this sin.

We have had cases of people blaming Allah for their situation or not being content with the decree of Allah. Keep far away from believing in negative thoughts of Allah. THEY ARE SINS! And possessing jinn are masters at throwing these negative thoughts in the patient’s mind because they know the greatest sins are shirk and kufr with regards to Allah.

The possessing jinn will definitely throw them into your heart but you must ignore them and not follow them up and start agreeing with these evil thoughts AND BELIEVING IN THEM! You must actively feel disgusted and abhor such ideas or thoughts about Allah with all your  mind. The possessing jinn may block your heart from feeling severe disgust and anger towards these evil thoughts and ideas about Allah because the filthy jinn can play with the heart’s feelings, which usually occurs in sihr, but your mind and intellect must reject them, no matter what the heart feels. You will not be held accountable by Allah for these evil ideas or thoughts and even feelings that the possessing jinn put into your heart via waswaas because they are not originally coming or stemming from yourself so there is no need to become depressed about Allah punishing you.

If you have unfortunately had negative thoughts towards Allah and then believed them to be true or blamed Allah for your problems then please make sincere tauba and never return to doing that again.
Allah is the way you think He will be with you according to the well known hadith. So if you believe that He won’t help you (which is an evil and negative thought) then that’s how Allah will be with you. If you are positive about your situation and know that only Allah can solve your issue then Allah will solve it because you thought well of Allah.

FEELING SAD ABOUT YOUR JINN POSSESSION

There is no harm and it is not haram to feel sad about your jinn possession situation but you shouldn’t allow that to stop you from having a positive outlook on life and you should carry on with your ruqya and carry on with doing acts of worship and helping muslims. You shouldn’t wallow and become despondent and depressed to such an extent that you lose all hope in life and stop your ruqya and stop doing good deeds. THIS IS JUST WHAT THE JINN WANT! The Nabi salulahu alayhi wasalam was sometimes sad in his life such as when his wife and uncle died, and that year in the seerah books is known as the ‘year of sadness’. He, salulahu alayhi wasalam, even cried when his son Ibrahim died but the Nabi, salulahu alayhi wasalam, NEVER ALLOWED THE SADNESS TO RULE HIS LIFE! He would pick himself up and carry on worshipping Allah. This is what the possessed muslims should do and in fact all muslims that are going through problems.

We have seen cases where the patient says: ‘O I accept the qadr of Allah in my mind but I can’t get rid of this sadness feeling in my heart and therefore I am not going to carry on doing any positive actions and I’m  just going to wallow and not do anything with my life anymore’  We say that this is a deception from the shaytan or jinn in you and you should ignore these feelings in your heart as the possessing jinn can throw them in there. (The jinn either exacerbate an already natural sadness or they can actually initiate or create new ones. The jinn prefer the former so that the person would believe that the sadness they are actually feeling is totally natural and has nothing to do with jinn and so the person would act according to these feelings). In reality, this person who said this statement has not fully accepted their situation and this is demonstrated by their inaction. They  may have accepted the qadr of Allah in their mind but they haven’t followed it up with actions so no fruit of their acceptance of qadr is seen in reality and therefore we must question how much of the qadr have they really and truly accepted. We are not asking them to be completely happy and have no sadness at all, we are just asking them to show Allah that they are still worshipping him to their best ability even though they are possessed and depressed. Like I said earlier, our Nabi salulahu alayhi wasalam would feel sad sometimes but would carry on pleasing Allah to his best ability and he would not let sadness stop him from  doing good deeds and he was always positive, optimistic and  never negative and pessimistic. SO PLEASE FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE.

WORKING OUT WHAT SINS YOU ARE DOING

If you find that you have any of these 11 symptoms (2-12 in table), then please ask Allah to guide you to your sins. If you are having difficulty in working out what sins you have fallen in to then ask close family members or friends to help you identify the sin or sins. After you realize your sins and make tauba, I would strongly recommend that you follow the self treatment plan or program, which you can find here.

(IN FACT, ALL POSSESSED MUSLIMS SHOULD FOLLOW THIS TREATMENT PLAN)

Even if you do not have any of the 11 symptoms, you should carefully look at your life and try to work out the reason Allah has decreed for you this jinn possession: Is it because of sins or is Allah testing you? In general, whatever evil comes from a possessing jinn that affects a sinning Muslim (when he/she is not asleep) then it is because of sins! And whatever evil comes from a possessing jinn that affects a pious Muslim (when he/she is not asleep) then it is a test to raise his status.

It is important to work out if you are being tested or punished at the beginning, when you first diagnosed yourself with jinn possession and then also do this if you find that your treatment is taking a long time. If your treatment is taking long then it could be because of sins or it could be to test you and raise your status and therefore you should be patient and continue with your treatment.

EXTREMELY SINNING MUSLIMS

Having said all of the above, in some very rare cases you will find that the jinn will not even speak in extremely sinning muslims. When you investigate these people, you will find that they are very far from Allah indeed, and may not even pray (the correct opinion seems to be that they are outside the fold of Islam for not praying). These people are so sinful that the ruqya is not being accepted by Allah and is only having minimal effect on the possessing jinn or no effect at all. REMEMBER RUQYA IS A DUA! If a person is sinning extremely, they may not have the ruqya dua accepted, just like the sinning man in the desert, who raises his hands, in the well known hadith in Sahih Muslim. In general, it is accepted in the ummah that sins are a cause for dua not being accepted so it essential that sins are stopped for ruqya to work. These extremely sinning muslims’ situation can be worse than the normal sinning muslims’ situation (who show signs 2 to 12 in the table) because when we try to tell them to rectify their deen, they are very reluctant and don’t believe they have to, since nothing serious has happened during the ruqya. With the normally sinning muslim, they would have noticed the effects of the jinn and are more willing to listen to advice about rectifying their religion. Therefore, it is better to be a normal sinner with a speaking jinnee rather than an extreme sinner with a non-speaking jinnee.

These extremely sinning Muslims who are possessed can easily read self ruqya on themselves with no trouble at all because the possessing jinn are not being burnt by their ruqya, which is obviously not being accepted or being made to work by Allah. The jinn just sit in these bodies and don’t try and stop the extremely sinning Muslims from doing self ruqya because there is no need to. The ruqya is ineffective and it is not at all harming the possessing jinn so they don’t need to make any special effort to stop the self ruqya. This is not the case for the normal sinning Muslim, whose self ruqya is more effective than the extremely sinning Muslim and hence the reason why the possessing jinn tries to stop them doing self ruqya by controlling their jaw muscles and tongue. You may even hear the jinn’s voice coming through and mixing with the normal sinning Muslim’s voice during the self ruqya session. All of this can be easily rectified by just stopping the sins they are doing and then the normal sinning Muslim’s self ruqya will become like the pious Muslim’s self ruqya i.e NO JINN INTERFERENCE DURING SELF RUQYA!

Now the question arises: HOW DO YOU DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE EXTREMELY SINNING MUSLIM AND THE PIOUS MUSLIM, SINCE BOTH HAVE NON-SPEAKING JINN? This is quite simple! You just need to ask them about their religion. If you find that they are fulfilling their obligations to Allah and avoiding major sins then you know that they have non-speaking jinn because of their strong iman. However, if you find that they are sinning then you know that they have non-speaking jinn because of their sins and weak iman. They may not want to disclose any information about themselves and we must respect that but they must be told about the fact that sometimes jinn won’t speak in extremely sinning muslims because of the non acceptance of the ruqya dua. 

However, most of the times, it is obvious that they are extremely sinning muslims by just looking at them and speaking to them, you can tell that they are very far from Allah. Only in one situation did I have a case where the patient looked pious and was wearing a thawb and his general character looked fine but after doing the ruqya we only got a minimal effect and so I asked him if he prayed and he said he didn’t and so this is why the ruqya was not effective.

In short, and to repeat and to reiterate, jinn ONLY speak in sinning muslims. They will never speak in pious muslims or children below puberty. In some rare cases the jinn will not speak in extremely sinning muslims because their sins have made the ruqya ineffective. To differentiate between these extremely sinning muslims and pious muslims, you just need to ask them questions about their religion and it is usually obvious and apparent that they are extremely sinning muslims.

If they are obviously and apparently sinning and can be classed as extremely sinning muslims, then it would be better to avoid reading on them and to advise them to rectify their religion and to explain to them that ruqya is not like taking antibiotics. Antibiotics usually work for everyone by the permission of Allah but ruqya only works for the pious Muslims who are not doing major sins or are not continuously doing the same minor sins.

THE NON-MUSLIMS

With regards to the non Muslims or disbelievers in Islam, then their situation is usually like the extremely sinning muslim situation as mentioned above and the jinn will not speak in them or they will have minimal effect from the ruqya, especially when they have not made the intention of seeking ruqya and they don’t recognize ruqya as being effective and it is forced upon them by some over zealous muslims. Ruqya should never be forced on people, if they do not want it! We must remember that if the heart of a person doesn’t want ruqya then Allah does not accept the ruqya dua because one of the conditions of dua acceptance is to have an attentive beseeching heart.

Those disbelievers who are a little bit more sincere, sympathetic and interested in Islam and they don’t mind ruqya being done on them or they actually ask for ruqya, these disbelievers may get a strong reaction from the ruqya or their jinn may even speak. Again, this is a better situation than that of the disbeliever with no speaking jinn or no reactions at all, because the disbeliever who got strongly affected by the ruqya will understand the importance and effectiveness of ruqya especially when the Quran is used and all this may be a cause for him to accept Islam and to seek a cure in ruqya. The disbeliever who didn’t get affected by the ruqya will probably continue in their disbelief in Islam and not appreciate ruqya.

CONCLUSION

This paper demonstrates that speaking jinn in a Muslim is due to sins, nothing else!

We have NEVER seen speaking jinn in pious Muslims (or children below puberty) because jinn are unable to take control of the pious Muslims’ mind and limbs.

In some rare cases, the jinn will not even speak in extremely sinning Muslims. In such cases their sins have made the ruqya ineffective.

Jinn speaking in humans is not a good thing FULL STOP! We should avoid speaking to possessing jinn and we should not believe, in general, anything they say to us. It can be a means of falling into shirk and disbelief SO THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY EXCITEMENT OR HAPPINESS WHEN JINN START SPEAKING IN MUSLIMS. We should abhor it and have this understanding that there is, in general, no goodness or benefit to gain from speaking to jinn and if we realise this then we will not fall into the bidah of jinn catching, which relies on speaking to jinn to treat Muslims. For information about jinn catching and why it is a bidah: The Problems with Jinn Catching

We should also try to avoid filming these speaking possessing jinn cases and putting them on youtube if the sole purpose is advertising ruqya services. If the filming is done with the permission of the patient and for educational purposes then it is fine since there is some benefit for the general Muslims.

If what we have said is wrong and incorrect then please present your evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, and also evidence of jinn speaking in pious Muslims and children below puberty. So far we have not had anyone produce any evidence or information that contradicts what we have said. You must note that if you say that I am wrong with my opinion then you are implying that sins are not really relevant or important and that sins are something that possessed patients do not need to really worry about because they don’t strengthen the possessing jinn and therefore patients can carry on as they are, even if they are doing major sins, which obviously does not sound right! How can we tell patients to do ruqya and not to worry too much about their sins! Therefore, before anyone embarks on trying to refute what I have presented, they need to ponder on the implications of belittling sins in the eyes of possessed patients since it may make their situation worse if they start to believe that their sins cannot strengthen their possessing jinn, WHICH IS NONSENSE! 

From my experience, I would strongly recommend that you don’t treat or disgnose any patients who have manifesting jinn ie speaking, crying, laughing etc. This is because it can be very dangerous. You should focus on getting the patient to stop sinning and making tauba and paying sadaqa to remove sins. Once the patient has completely changed their life and the jinn no longer manifests and speaks, you can diagnose and then treat them. We must remember that the sins of the patient will make ruqya less effective, hence the importance of stopping sins.

We must realise and remember that the phenomenon of speaking possessing jinn has hardly anything to do with the ‘power’ of the raaqi but it is more due to the SINS of the patient………and with Allah is the success and cure.
