Section: Some notes for the exorcist
30
First: Sometimes when you recite the Ruqyah over the patient and may notice him/her feeling dizzy, suffocating or shivering in his/her body, without any evocation of the Jinn taking place. Repeat the task three times, but if nothing happens, then advice him/her using following instructions:1. To observe Salat in jama'a (in group).2. Not to listen to songs or music or watch television.3. To make ablution before going to bed, and to recite ayat alKursi.4. Not to hang any picture with a soul (people or animals) in their house.5. To say Bismillah before starting anything.6. To say “la ilaha illa lah” frequently.7. To recite Surah al-Sāffāt, al-Dukhan, al-Jinn, or listen to them, before retiring to bed.8. To recite Surah Ya-Sin, al-Rahman and al-Ma'arij in the morning.9. Not to sleep alone in a room.10. To observe saying the du'a (supplications) of the day and evening, or to listen to them.11. In the case of a woman patient, she has to wear the Hijab (as commanded in Islam) and not to go out of the house wearing perfume.12. To record the following Surahs in tapes, according to their order in the Qur'an, and to listen every day of the week to a tape between 4-6 times, the Surahs are:al-Fatiha, al-Baqara, al-'Imran, al-An'am, Hud, al-Kahf, alHijr, al-Sajda, al-Ahzāb, Ya-Sin, al-Saffāt, Fussilat, alDukhān, al-Fath, al-Hujurāt, Qāf, al-Dhariyāt, al-Rahmān, alHashr, al-Saff, al-Jumu'a, al-Munāfiqun, al-Mulk, al-Ma'ārij, al-Jinn, at-Takweer, al-Infitar, al-Buruj, al-Tariq, al-A'la, alGhashiya, al-Fajr, al-Balad, al-Zalzala, al-Qāri'a, al-Humaza, al-Kafirun, al-Masad, al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, al-Nas.After a month you should recite the Ruqyah over him/her again, so either you would find that the Jinn had been chased out of the body or is still present.Allah (SWT) has spared you the Jinn's evil if the Jinn has left the body. You would see the evidence in the absence of body pain in the patient; he/she would cease to have those bad dreams, and any ill effects from ruqya.Second: Sometimes the Jinn, possessing the body, is evoked yet refuses to leave the body. You should recite the Surahs that harm and hurt him/her. If he/she resists them, it is possible to beat him/her, but if he/she insists on staying in the body, then you should give the patient the previous instructions to implement for a whole month.Third: Sometimes when you recite the Ruqyah over the patient, it only intensifies his/her crying, even though he/she remains conscious and in good mental health. When you ask about the reason for his/her crying; he/she would reply that he/she cannot help crying, that he/she is unable to control himself/herself. This case is probably that of sorcery, and Allah knows best. If you want to be certain about such a case, then recite the following verses in his/her ear:1. Yunus: 81-82 فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿٨١﴾ وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾ Translation: (81) And when they had thrown, Moses said, "What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allah will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters. (82) And Allah will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it."2. Al-Araf: 117-122 وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ﴿١١٧﴾ فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١١٨﴾ فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ ﴿١١٩﴾ وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ ﴿١٢٠﴾ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿١٢١﴾ رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ ﴿١٢٢﴾ Translation: (117) And We inspired Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying. (118) So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing. (119) And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased. (120) And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah]. (121) They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, (122) The Lord of Moses and Aaron."3. Ta-Ha: 69 وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ ﴿٦٩﴾ Translation: (69) And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."You should recite each of these Verses in his/her ear seven times; if he or she increases his or her crying then it is certainly a case of him or her being a victim of sorcery. I will, insha Allah, explain all the different kinds of sorcery in my next book.Fourth: Sometimes, when the Jinn is evoked, he/she starts screaming, shouting, and being threatening, but do not show any fear from him/her; you may beat him/her, so he/she will calm down, by the Will of Allah , then recite over him Verse 76 of Surah al-Nisa': الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ الطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُوا أَوْلِيَاءَ الشَّيْطَانِ ۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا ﴿٧٦﴾ Translation: (76) Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak. Fifth: Sometimes, the Jinn might insult you and irritate you, but do not show your anger.Sixth: Sometimes, the Jinn might tell you that you are a pious man, and he/she will leave the possessed body out of respect for you. Say to him/her that you are only a weak Servant of Allah, and order him/her to leave in obedience to Allah and His Prophet (ﷺ).Seventh: Sometimes, you might face a stubborn Jinn; so in this case, bring a glass of water close to your mouth, recite over it the verses of ruqya, adding Surat Yā-Sīn, al-Sāffāt, al-Dukhan, and al-Jinn, then give it to the patient to drink. The Jinn will feel a lot of pain, and so will therefore obey you and leave, by the Will of Allah. [The evidence to support this act is the Hadith, recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim, where the Prophet (ﷺ), during his illness, he used to blow on his hands and pass them over his body while reciting the Mu'awidhat (Surat al-Falaq and Surat al-Nas)]Eight: If you want to know the faith of the Jinn without asking him, then recite the following verses that address the people of the Book:Surat al-Ma'ida, verse 72: لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۖ وَقَالَ الْمَسِيحُ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ ﴿٧٢﴾ Translation: (72) They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.Surat al-Tawba, verse 30: وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۖ يُضَاهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَبْلُ ۚ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾ Translation: (30) The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah (SWT)." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?Ninth: Sometimes, the Jinn escapes when he/she has to make a pledge; in this case, recite in the ear of the patient: (يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ), four verses from Surah al-Rahman and then repeat them.Tenth: Sometimes, the Jinn gives you the impression that he/she has left, but still remains still inside the body, and may even be the one talking to you, so how would you know this?You should place your hand on the patient's head, and you would feel a slight shivering, and the same effect if you place your hand on his/her knee. Likewise, if you place your hand on his/her jugular veins, you would feel an unusual pulse.Eleventh: Sometimes, the Jinn agrees to leave, but he/she is unable; either because he/she is still young or is less experienced. He/she would admit it himself/herself and ask you to help him/her out. In this case, you should recite the whole of Surah Ya-Sin over him, and make Adhan (call to Prayer) in his ear.Twelfth: The Ruqyah should be executed with a slow but heard recitation of the Qur'an, with submissiveness,Thirteenth: Sometimes, the Jinn makes certain conditions, so if these conditions include obedience to Allah and His Messenger, such as: I will leave this body provided he (the possessed one) observes Salat, or - in case of a possessed woman - she observes wearing the veil also; then there is no harm in accepting those conditions; yet you should let the Jinn know that those conditions are to be executed in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, not to him/her.But if his/her conditions mean disobedience to Allah, then his/her demands should be rejected, and he/she should be punished for that.Fourteenth: If the Jinn leaves the body, by the Will of Allah, then ask the patient and his/her people to prostrate in gratitude to Allah for ridding them of that oppressor. You, as well, need to prostrate to Allah, thanking Him for making you successful over the Jinn, and helping to remove that injustice from the patient.Fifteenth: If Allah sends the Jinn away, by your hands, do not say, “I removed or expelled him/her”, but rather “Allah then sent him/her away, or Allah mengine removed him/her”. Do not boast about your success; it is one of the great ways of letting Satan into your mind.Sixteenth: We advice people who undertake this method of healing to read the following books: “Ighatath al-lahfan”, “Talbees Iblis”, “alFurqan baina awliya' ar-Rahman, wa awliya' al-shaytan”, “Risalat al-Jinn" by Ibn Taymiyya, “ālam al-Jinn wa shayatin" and "ākām alMarjān", noting that, in the last publication, there are many weak traditions, so one should be careful.We also advice reading the book: "The Beginning of Creation” chapter in sahih al-Bukhari, with its interpretation in "Fath al-bari”; the book of "Medicine" in sahih Muslim; Sunan Abu Dawud; “Mujma' alZawa'id"; Sunan Ibn Mājah; and also the book "al-tib al-nabawi" by Ibn al-Qayyim.
