A light hearted yet serious look at Jinn Lessons I’ve learned since reverting to Islam

[Fatima Amenda]

Number 1 – Always seek refuge in Allah Subana Wa Ta'ala from the Jinn before entering bathroom (including covering the hair with hijab /Takiya of Sunnah) and NEVER listen to your thoughts when in the bathroom, they may seem logical at the time but remember what the bathroom is, (many of the associated words are slang that I won’t repeat) instead repeat something positive in your head like Alhumdulillah for removing the difficultly (Jinn) from me, even if it’s just while brushing of the teeth

Number 2 – Never jump to conclusions people are out to harm you, seek refuge in Allah Subana Wa Ta’ala, the Jinn are always trying to occupy the thoughts so we sin, whether to sin in our thoughts by building up our ego to much or placing bitterness, jealously, suspicion etc into our minds. Any suspicion without a solid basis are considered unwarranted suspicion or any negative thoughts in general are usually just mind games. If acted upon without due process … the Jinn Win.

Well, I do seek refuge in Allah SWT before entering the restroom. But I must admit that, I get a lot of good thoughts in there. I know not how or why it happens. But it is one place where I actually get peaceful thoughts. Is it just me? Or I am behaving weird in the bathroom?

Peace.

Mash'Allah Brother, you are not acting weird I have heard this throughout my life this is where people get their best thoughts and began to wonder why, as this happened to me to but I began to realize at times what seemed logical at that time turned out to be illogical thinking after. Now I wonder since becoming a Muslim and learning about Jinn and how to seek refuge in Allah Subana wa Ta'ala in places in our life, if this is where the Jinn play in our minds the most since it is usually the first place we go after we wake up from sleep and start our day and before we make wudu for prayer, and frequent throughout the day. So now instead of listening to my thoughts with whatever business I have doing in the bathroom, even if just brushing of teeth, I try to remember when I catch myself thinking to instead repeat for refuge with Allah Subana Wa Ta'ala or Praise to Him for removing difficultly of Jinn from me and then wait until I am at prayer mat facing Kaa'ba to get my best thoughts. May Allah Subana Wa Ta'ala always protect us from the Jinn where ever we are ... Ameen
