A Jinn Paralyses Me At Night |
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=17899
_A_Jinn_Paralyses_Me_At_Night&only
Courtesy of the Cyber Counselor at Islam Online, an answer to the
question, “What do I do when A Jinn Paralyses Me At Night?”
Name of Questioner: Fatah - Somalia
Title: A Jinn Paralyses Me At Night
Name of Counsellor: Abdullah Abdur Rahman
Topic: Fatwa referral
Question:
As-salamu `alaykum.
During the night, when I am sleeping, I get this strange sensation
that almost paralyses my whole body and prevents me from screaming for
help. The worst thing is that during that time, I think something is
having sexual intercourse with me. Then whenever I put a Holy Qur’an
under the left of my pillow, the feeling of paralysis goes away. This
thing happens mostly when I do a good deed. I would like to ask if it is
Satan causing this to happen, and if so, how can I fight against this
bad thing?
Answer:
As-salamu `alaykum.
Thank you for writing to us. Your question is actually best
addressed through in-person counseling, or at least discussing this
particular situation with an imam in person. If you feel you do not have
access to in-person counseling or to a local imam, so we are glad that
you at least submit this same question to us. If for now you know that
putting the Qur’an under the left of your pillow is helping you to deal
with this paralysis, then by all means put the Qur’an under the left of
your pillow each night when you go to sleep.
Based on what you have written, it is highly likely that you are
dealing with the Jinn at night. We quote for you a response regarding
the Jinn from our Islam Online Fatwa section. The entire response can be
accessed through the link below.
Shedding more light on the protection against, and the immunity
from, the harm of jinn, we’d like to cite for you the following:
“Because jinn can see us while we cannot see them, the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him) taught us many ways to protect
ourselves from their harm. They are seeking the refuge of Allah from the
accursed Satan, reciting Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas, and reciting
the words taught by Allah in the Qur’an. Allah Almighty says, “And say:
My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions of the evil ones. And I
seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, lest they be present with me.” (Al-
Mu’minun: 97-98)
Saying bismillah, (in the name of Allah) before entering one’s home,
eating or drinking, and having intercourse will keep Satan from entering
the house or partaking with a person in his food, drink and sexual
activity. Similarly, mentioning the name of Allah before entering the
toilet or taking off one’s clothes will prevent the jinn from seeing a
person in a state of undress or harming him. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of be upon him) says:
“To put a barrier that will prevent the jinn from seeing the `awrah
(parts of the body to be covered) of the sons of Adam, let any one of
you say ‘bismillah’ when entering the toilet.” (Reported by At-Tirmidhi)
For further guidance please refer to the following links:

LOL! No, that came later. She had jumped off of her chair because she
dropped her cigarette in her lap. However, her legs weren't working too
well and she collapsed ;)

ROFL.
There's a whole book full of Muslim prescriptions for how to bathe, what
prayers to say while on the toilet, which foot to step first into the
bathroom, whether you can "purify yoursef" with water from a bowl that
has been used by a cat or a dog or a pig, whether urine or semen is
clean or unclean, and other topics of burning importance.

Do the Muslims have a prohibition against tearing toilet paper squares
apart on their holy day like the Jews? Do they consider combing of
hair on their holy day a sin because combing out a tangle might
actually be considered as work?
Better to put the hair under a head cover or scarf, and untangle it
tomorrow, when work is allowed, and people can flip on the light in
the bathroom without it being a sin?

Not 'all', by any means; but I've seen *quite a few* of these
life-replacing, mind-rotting lunacies *in action*: one of my ex's had a very
'observant' extended family.
More recently, I was filled with disgust at what went on in Golders Green
and Hampstead Garden Suburb concerning the 'eruv'. This link
http://www.fps.org/ask016.htm
will give you a flavour of the affair (there was more -- much more --
drooling idiocy in evidence, over the weeks and months, than the article
indicates: I had reports from a good friend who lives there); but I don't
want to bore you or me by detailing it all. Instead I simply want to move on
to an expression of the puking contempt I feel for the kind of fuckwit
mind-set that joyfully fantasises an all-powerful, all-knowing,
'law-giving', cosmic father-figure -- and then plays legalistic, chop-logic
***** games to *get around it*.
Just one more foul and demented 'great religion' that I wanna *wipe my arse
on*...

I don't think they have that sort of proscription. There is a
purification ritual ("ablution") to be followed before entering a mosque
or touching a Quran or following sexual intercourse. And there's a whole
chapter on what is clean or unclean and when the ablution is
invalidated, for instance by seeing a pig.
The book I'm referring to is here:

Islam is at the same point in its development as Judaism was when
Leviticus and Deuteronomy were written. It's not likely to get any
better for a couple thousand more years, unfortunately, because Jews
still haven't shaken many of the ancient rituals and restrictions found
in those books.

Such garbage seems to be inseparable from the religious mindset:

Verily I say unto thee: the difference between religious observance/belief
and *a mixture of obsessional neurosis and frank psychosis* is so *small* as
to be undetectable for most everyday purposes. The only reason we don't
incarcerate these fuckheads is that (i) we don't have enough places to lock
them away, and (ii) there's a long-standing tradition of letting them wander
around among healthy people as long as they stay realistic enough to pay
their taxes on time...

That analogy holds also in that there are strict Orthodox Jews who
follow all the rituals and there are Reformed Jews who do not.
Similarly, there are the Wahhabi or Salafist Muslims who take a strict
literalist line on the Quran and the other prescriptions, and there are
more modern Muslims.

I did an etymological search on "Genie" and it seems that the word
"Jinn" is basically the same thing. A Jinn or a Genie, they're both
make-believe critters...
"I dream of Genie" is pretty close to "I dream of 72 ver-Jinns,"
catering to my every whim in paradise, forever and ever...

"I dream of Genie" is pretty close to "I dream of 72 ver-Jinns,"
catering to my every whim in paradise, forever and ever...
Guess who I'll be meeting in real life at the next Chiller Theater
Horror Expo? They're having an "I dream of Genie" reunion!
Too wild. Anyone want Barbara Eden's autograph? :)
Think she'd be willing to sign a baseball?
Hmm, I don't know. They usually sit there in this tent with a bunch of
other celebrities and have stacks of their own pictures in front of them to
sign for you. It's like $15.00 for a black & white and $20.00 for a color.
They'll let you take your picture with them, which I think they do for free.
I'm DEFINITELY getting my picture taken with Linda Blair. And maybe with
Kevin Sorbo.....or Batman.....or The Greatest American
Hero.........or.......... ;)
Here's the guest list so far. It's going to be an even bigger hoot than the
one in April :)

William Katt? Why don't any reruns of that show ever play on TV? It
used to be one of my favorite shows once upon a time. It was pretty
stupid, but I still liked it. Maybe the cast got together, bought up
all the film and burned it?

Um, probably because it sucked?

Similarly, mentioning the name of Allah before entering the
toilet or taking off one’s clothes will prevent the jinn from
seeing a person in a state of undress or harming him.
ROFL.
There's a whole book full of Muslim prescriptions for how to bathe,
what prayers to say while on the toilet, which foot to step first
into the bathroom, whether you can "purify yoursef" with water from
a bowl that has been used by a cat or a dog or a pig, whether urine
or semen is clean or unclean, and other topics of burning
importance.
Islam is at the same point in its development as Judaism was when
Leviticus and Deuteronomy were written. It's not likely to get any
better for a couple thousand more years, unfortunately, because Jews
still haven't shaken many of the ancient rituals and restrictions
found in those books.
I did an etymological search on "Genie" and it seems that the word
"Jinn" is basically the same thing. A Jinn or a Genie, they're both
make-believe critters...
"I dream of Genie" is pretty close to "I dream of 72 ver-Jinns,"
catering to my every whim in paradise, forever and ever...
The houris are a different sort of spiritual being than the djinni.

is always an inverse function of the amount of complaints
about human rights violations heard from there.
The greater the number of complaints being aired,
the better protected are human rights in that country."

Ohhh! Those crazy Muslims! Of course, you would never find sensible,

Nope. We westerners are far more sensible than those cerrrrrazy Muslims.

Muslims believe they are being paralyzed by a jinn. The Chinese believe it's
"gui ya chuang" - a ghost pressing you onto the bed.
Reality time: it's called "sleep paralysis".

... and at least the Muslim Counselor probably believed what he said as
opposed to exploiting peoples gullibility in order to shill newspapers.
However, I think most "westerner" societies *would* be able to offer a
scientific explanation and cure - such as
http://www.nightterrors.org/paralysis.html and not refer the client to
the *horoscope*!
