RUQYAH & HIJAMA THERAPY
Does Jinn exist?
Jinn are creatures with bodies and souls. They were created from a smokeless flame of fire. They mate, reproduce, and die.
Allah Almighty said: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Qur'an 51:56]
هل الجن حقيقة أم خيال؟
الجن مخلوقات لها أجساد وأرواح. لقد خلقوا من مارج من نار. يتزاوجون ويتناسلون ويموتون.
قال الله تعالى:{ وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦﴾} الذاريات
In Surat Ar-rahman Allah said: “And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.” [Qur'an 55:15]
وقال سبحانه:{ وَخَلَقَ الْجَانَّ مِن مَّارِجٍ مِّن نَّارٍ ﴿١٥﴾} الرحمن
Allah said: “And [mention, O Muhammad], when We directed to you a few of the jinn, listening to the Qur'an. And when they attended it, they said, "Listen quietly." And when it was concluded, they went back to their people as warners.” [Qur'an 46:29]
وقال عز وجل في سورة الاحقاف:{ وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنصِتُوا ۖ فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾} الأحقاف
Are all jinn infidels?
Allah said: “Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened ˹to the Quran,˺ and said ˹to their fellow jinn˺: ‘Indeed, we have heard a wondrous recitation. It leads to Right Guidance so we believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Lord ˹in worship˺.” [Qur’an 72:1-2]
هل الجن كلهم كفار؟
الله عز وجل يخبرنا عن حوار النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مع الجن فيقول:{ قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا ﴿١﴾ يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا﴿٢﴾} الجن
The jinn said as Allah Almighty mentioned in the Qur’an: “Among us are those who are righteous and those who are less so. We have been of different factions.” [Qur’an 72:11]
وقالت الجن كما ذكر الله سبحانه وتعالى في القرآن:{ وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا ﴿١١﴾} الجن
They also said: “And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden. And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust*. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course” [Qur’an 72:13-14]
* Those who deviate from the truth and act tyrannically.
وفي الآية 13-14 من سورة الجن قالوا:{ وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَن يُؤْمِن بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا ﴿١٣﴾ وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا ﴿١٤﴾} الجن
Jinn’s dealings with humans:
Allah said: “And some men used to seek refuge with some jinn—so they increased each other in wickedness.” [Qur’an 72:6]
* Humans used to turn to the Jinn to help them with black magic/witchcraft and other evil deeds. That made the Jinn feel powerful and important because they had human followers.
تعامل الجن مع الانس:
قال تعالى:{ وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا ﴿٦﴾} الجن
Is Satan (Ibliss) one of the angels?
Satan (Iblees) is among the Jinn. Allah said: “ And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs,1 who was one of the jinn, but he rebelled against the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his descendants as patrons instead of Me, although they are your enemy? What an evil alternative for the wrongdoers ˹to choose˺!.” [Qur’an 18:50]
هل الشيطان (ابليس) من الملائكة؟
الشيطان من الجن لقوله تعالى:{ وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ ۗأَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِي وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا ﴿٥٠﴾ } الكهف
Intercourse between Jinn and humans:
Allah said: “˹Consider˺ the Day He will gather them ˹all˺ together and say, “O assembly of jinn! You misled humans in great numbers.” And their human associates will say, “Our Lord! We benefited from each other’s company, but now we have reached the term which You appointed for us.” ˹Then˺ He will say, “The Fire is your home, yours to stay in forever, except whoever Allah wills to spare.”* Surely your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.” [Qur’an 6:128]
* Disobedient Muslims. They will be punished according to the severity of their sins, but eventually, no Muslim will stay in Hell forever.
الجِماع بين الجن و الانس:
من الجن من يتناكح مع الانس لقوله تعالى:{ وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ ۖ وَ قَالَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَلَغْنَا أَجَلَنَا الَّذِي أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا ۚ قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوَاكُمْ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّـهُ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿١٢٨﴾} الأنعام
Allah said: “In both ˹Gardens˺ will be maidens of modest gaze, who no human or jinn has ever touched before.” [Qur’an 55:56]
قال الله تعالى:{ فِيهِنَّ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ ﴿٥٦﴾} الرحمن
Allah said: “And incite whoever you can of them with your voice, mobilize against them all your cavalry and infantry, manipulate them in their wealth and children, and make them promises. -But Satan promises them nothing but delusion-.” [Qur’an 17:64]
Many of the mufassireen said that part of Satan’s share of wealth and children is neglecting to say Bismillah when eating, drinking, and having intercourse. Whoever does not say Bismillah when doing these things, Satan has a share in them, as in the Hadith below.
قال تعالى:{ وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُم بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْ ۚ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا ﴿٦٤﴾} الاسراء
* وَقَوْلُهُ "وَالْأَوْلَادِ"، قال بعض أَهْلُ التَّأْوِيلِ فِي صِفَةِ شَرِكَةِ الشيطان بَنِيَ آدَمَ فِي أَوْلَادِهِمْ، أي: شَرِكَتُهُ إِيَّاهُمْ فِيهِمْ بِزَنَاهُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ. فعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ و مُجَاهِدٍ والضَّحَّاكَ في قَوْلُهُ { شَارِكْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ} أَوْلَادُ الزِّنَا) ["تفسير الطبري" ج17 ص:494]
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If anyone of you, when intending to have sexual intercourse with his wife, says: ‘With the Name of Allah. O Allah, keep the Devil away from us, and keep the Devil away from that which You provide for us.’ (Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna Shaitan, wa jannibi Shaitan ma razaqtana,) and if the couple are destined to have a child (out of that very sexual relation), then Satan will never be able to harm that child.” [Al-Bukhari:7396/Muslim:1434]
عن بن عباس أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( لو أنَّ أحدَكم إذا أراد أن يأتيَ أهلَه فقال: باسمِ اللهِ: اللهمَّ جنِّبْنا الشيطانَ، وجَنِّبِ الشيطانَ ما رزقتنا، فإنَّهُ إن يُقدَّرُ بينهما ولدٌ في ذلك، لم يضرَّه شيطانٌ أبدًا ) [البخاري:7396/مسلم:1434]
Types of Jinn:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There are three types of jinn. One type flies through the air. Another type consists of snakes and dogs. A third type is based in one place but travels about.” [Al-Albani “Sahih Al-Jami” 3114]
أنواع الجن:
عن أبي ثعلبة الخشني أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( الجِنُّ ثلاثةُ أصنافٍ؛ فصنفٌ لهم أجنحةٌ يطيرون بها في الهواءِ، وصِنفٌ حيَّاتٌ و كلابٌ، و صِنفٌ يحِلُّون و يظْعَنون) [ أخرجه ابن حبان (6156 )،والطبراني في ((المعجم الكبير )) (22/ 214) (573 )، والحاكم (3702 )]
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Snakes are the forms of the transmutations of the shape of the jinn in the same way that the apes and swine were transmutations of the tribe of Israel.” [Al-Albani “Sahih Al-Jami” 3203]
عن عبد الله بن عباس أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( الحيَّاتُ مَسْخُ الجِنِّ صورَةً ، كَما مُسِخَتْ القِردَةُ و الخنازِيرُ من بَنِي إسرائِيلَ) [أخرجه ابن أبي شيبة (19908 )، وابن حبان (5640 )، والطبراني في ((المعجم الأوسط)) (4269 )، وأخرجه أحمد (3255 ) مختصرا ]
Jinn attack on Humans:
Ibn Mas’ud reported God’s messenger as saying, “There is none of you who does not have his partner from among the jinn and his partner from among the angels put in charge of him.” The hearers asked, “Does this also apply to you, messenger of God?” He replied, “It applies to me too, but God has helped me against him, and he has accepted Islam, so he commands me to do only what is good.” [Sahih Muslim 2814]
اعتداء الجن على الانس:
عن عبدالله بن مسعود أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( ما مِنكُم مِن أحَدٍ، إلَّا وقدْ وُكِّلَ به قَرِينُهُ مِنَ الجِنِّ، قالوا: وإيَّاكَ يا رَسولَ اللهِ؟ قالَ: وإيَّايَ، إلَّا أنَّ اللَّهَ أعانَنِي عليه فأسْلَمَ، فلا يَأْمُرُنِي إلَّا بخَيْرٍ. [ وفي رواية]: وقدْ وُكِّلَ به قَرِينُهُ مِنَ الجِنِّ وقَرِينُهُ مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ) [مسلم:2814]
Narrated Abdullah bin Mas’ud: the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Indeed the Shaitan has an effect on the son of Adam, and the angel also has an effect. As for the Shaitan, it is by threatening evil repercussions and rejecting the truth. As for the effect of the angel, it is by his promise of a good end and believing in the truth. Whoever finds that, let him know that it is from Allah, and let him praise Allah for it. Whoever finds the other then let him seek refuge with Allah from the Shaitan (the outcast) then recite: Shaitan threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahisha (Qur'an 2:268).” [Al-Albani ‘Meshkat Al-Masabeeh’ 70]
عن بن مسعود أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( إن للشيطانِ لَمَّةً بابنِ آدمَ، وللمَلَكِ لَمَّةً، فأما لمةُ الشيطانِ فإيعادٌ بالشرِّ، و تكذيبٌ بالحقِّ، وأمَّا لَمَّةُ الملَك فإيعادٌ بالخيرِ، وتصديقٌ بالحقِّ. فمَن وَجَدَ ذلك فلْيَعْلَمْ أنه مِن اللهِ تعالى، فلْيَحْمَدِ اللهَ، ومِن وَجَدَ الأخرى فلْيَتَعَوَّذْ باللهِ من الشيطانِ ثمَّ قرأ الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ الآيةَ) [أخرجه النسائي في ((السنن الكبرى)) (11051)، وأبو يعلى (4999)، وابن حبان (997) باختلاف يسير]
Narrated Ali bin Husain: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Satan circulates in the human body as blood does.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 7171]
عن علي بن الحسين بن علي أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( إنَّ الشيطانَ يَجري منَ ابنِ آدَمَ مَجرى الدمِ ) [البخاري:7171]
Instructions before harming the Jinn:
Abu Sa’id Khudri reported Allah’s Messenger said: “There is a group of Jinns in Medina who accepted Islam, so he who would see anything from these occupants should warn him three times; and if he appears after that, he should kill him for he is a Satan.” [Sahih Muslim 2236]
إرشادات قبل إيذاء الجن:
عن أبي سعيد الخدري أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:( إنَّ بالمدينةِ نفرًا من الجنِّ قد أسلموا. فمن رأى شيئًا من هذه العوامرِ فليؤذِنْه ثلاثًا. فإن بدا لهُ بعدُ فليقتلْه. فإنَّهُ شيطانٌ) [مسلم:2236]
Uthman b. Abu al-‘As reported that he came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah’s Messenger, the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer, and my reciting of the Qur’an and he confounds me. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: That is (the doing of a) Satan (devil) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me. [Sahih Muslim 2203]
عُثْمَانَ بنَ أَبِي العَاصِ أَتَى النَّبيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ، فَقالَ:( يا رَسولَ اللهِ، إنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وبيْنَ صَلَاتي وَقِرَاءَتي؛ يَلْبِسُهَا عَلَيَّ، فَقالَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ: ذَاكَ شيطَانٌ يُقَالُ له: خَنْزَبٌ، فَإِذَا أَحْسَسْتَهُ فَتَعَوَّذْ باللَّهِ منه، وَاتْفِلْ علَى يَسَارِكَ ثَلَاثًا. قالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ ذلكَ، فأذْهَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي) [مسلم:2203]
The effect of jinn on the menstrual cycle:
Narrated Hamnah bint Jahsh: “I had a very strong prolonged flow of blood. I went to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to ask him about it. He said, ‘This is a strike from Satan. So, observe your menses for six or seven days, then perform Ghusl until you see that you are clean. Pray for twenty-four or twenty-three nights and days and fast, and that will suffice you. Do so every month just as the other women menstruate (and are purified). But if you are strong enough to delay the Dhuhr prayer and advance the Asr prayer, then make Ghusl when you purified and combine the Dhuhr and the Asr prayers together; then delay the Maghrib prayer and advance the Isha prayer, and perform Ghusl and combine the two prayers, do so. Do so, and then wash at dawn and pray Fajr. This is how you may pray and fast if you can.’” [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Tirmidhi transmitted it]
تأثير الجن على الدورة الشهرية:
عن حَمنةَ بنتِ جحشٍ رضيَ الله عنها قالَت:( كنتُ أستحاضُ حيضةً كثيرةً شديدةً، فأتيتُ النَّبيَّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ أستفتيهِ وأخبرُه. فوجدتُه في بيتِ أُختي زينبَ بنتِ جَحْشٍ فقلتُ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ، إنِّي أُستحاضُ حيضةً كبيرةً شديدةً فما تأمرُني فيها قد منعتني الصِّيامَ والصَّلاةَ قالَ أنعتُ لَك الكُرسُفَ فإنَّهُ يذهبُ الدَّمَ قالت هوَ أكثرُ من ذلِك قالَ فتلجَّمي قالت هوَ أكثرُ من ذلِك قالَ فاتَّخذي ثوبًا قلت هوَ أكثرُ من ذلِك إنَّما أثجُّ ثجًّا فقالَ النَّبيُّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ سآمرُك بأمرينِ أيَّهما صنعتِ أجزأ عنكِ فإن قويتِ عليهما فأنتِ أعلمُ فقالَ إنَّما هيَ رَكضةٌ منَ الشَّيطانِ فتحيَّضي ستَّةَ أيَّامٍ أو سبعةَ أيَّامٍ في علمِ اللَّهِ ثمَّ اغتسلي فإذا رأيتِ أنَّكِ قد طَهرتِ واستَنقأتِ فصلِّي أربعًا وعشرينَ ليلةً أو ثلاثًا وعشرينَ ليلةً وأيَّامَها وصومي وصلِّي فإنَّ ذلِك يُجزئُك وَكذلِك فافعلي كما تحيضُ النِّساءُ وَكما يطهرنَ لميقاتِ حيضِهنَّ وطُهرِهنَّ فإن قويتِ علَى أن تؤخِّري الظُّهرَ وتعجِّلي العصرَ جميعًا ثمَّ تؤخِّرينَ المغربَ وتعجِّلينَ العشاءَ ثمَّ تغتسلينَ وتجمعينَ بينَ الصَّلاتينِ فافعلي وتغتسلينَ معَ الصُّبحِ وتصلِّينَ وَكذلِك فافعلي وصومي إن قويتِ علَى ذلِك) [أخرجه الترمذي (128) واللفظ له، وأخرجه أبو داود (287) باختلاف يسير، وابن ماجه (627) مختصراً باختلاف يسير]
