Answer:
If fear Jinn what to do
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none
can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.
We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,
no person, no grave, no
prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Like the human race,
the Jinns are a creation of Allah.
They are born, they die, and spend their lives similar to ours in a
sphere of their own. They have their
own sets of trials and tribulations,
worries and happiness, pain and
relief, obedience and dis-obedience to
Allah, etc. like the human beings. They too have a ‘free will’ to choose
between obedience and dis-obedience,
right and wrong, Truth and
falsehood; and they too will be
gathered by Allah on the Day of Judgment to give a full accounting of their
deeds.
They are a distinct creation from the human race, and the human beings and jinns have very
little or no real interaction between each other.
Some people do claim to see and conversate with the
Jinns, but mostly these accounts are
either heresay or imaginations of the people. Allah Alone Knows Best.
Brother, the thing we, as believers, must
understand is that the Jinns have
absolutely no power to hurt or benefit
anyone, without the permission of Allah
Subhanah. No harm and no benefit can
happen to the believer without the Will of Allah Subhanah. If Allah does not will it, all the jinns of the world can get
together, they cannot harm anyone in
the least! A believer, should therefore always put all his trust in
Allah Subhanah Alone.
All Power and All
Strength is with Allah Subhanah Alone.
The next time if you so much as think that you might feel
the presence of a Jinn in your house;
immediately turn to Allah Subhanah and seek His Protection.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraaf verses 200-201:
If a suggestion from Shaitaan so much as touches
you, seek the refuge of Allah; for He is indeed the All Hearing, All Knowing. Those who fear Allah,
when a thought of evil from Shaitaan assaults them, immediately remember Allah, and see the Right Course (they should
adopt).
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale
Imran verse 175:
It was Shaitaan who was frightening the people
with the fear of his friends;
therefore, in future, do not fear them, but fear Me (Allah), if
you are true believers.
The most the Shayaateen
among the Jinn can do to mankind, is
whisper a doubt of fear into our hearts.
As soon as a believer recognizes this evil act of Shaitaan, he must immediately seek refuge in Allah by
reciting “Aoodobillahe minas Shaitaan ar Rajeem” (I seek refuge in Allah from
Shaitaan, the cursed) ;
and Insha Allah, no harm will
come to him in the least.
Or one may seek the
refuge in Allah by reciting the 113th and 114th Surahs of
the Quran (Surah Falaq and Surah Naas);
and Allah will Insha Allah,
protect the believers from the evil of the Shaitaan.
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 113 Surah Falaq:
Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn, from the evil of everything that He
created; and from the evil of the
darkness of the night when it over-spreads;
and from the evil of the blowers into knots (magic etc.); and from the evil of the envious when he
envies.
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 114 Surah Naas:
Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the (real) God of mankind; from the evil of the whisperer
(Shaitaan), who returns over and over
again; who whispers (evil) into the
hearts of men; whether he
be from among the Jinn or men.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
