Assalamu alaikum,
Im 18, and of course have a lot to learn, but I have a question which I still haven't found any convincing answer up to now. Im not really active on forums, but since this is the largest islamic forum, I thought I might give it a try.
Its been about 3 years now that I experience sleep paralysis, which some say is only scientific whereas others say it has something to do with jinn or something. Im actually quite used to it now after having had it 100+ times this might sound weird but whilst in it, I feel I can either stop it, by struggling to remain conscious or if I let go and de-contract my body, some sort of pressure in me increases and a few other symptoms occur. I researched on the symptoms and found out they were close to something called Astral Projection. Of course upon reading about A.P on the net, it makes me curious and want to try it. However, despite quite some research, I still haven't found out any convincing answer relating it to Islam and whether it is forbidden or not. I still reject claims that it has something to do with me interacting with Jinns because I consider myself more of a practising muslim, if I am allowed to do so of course and do not engage myself in witchcraft or such activities and it comes to me naturally.
If someone does have real knowledge about this subject, or a muslim who has had an astral projection, please reply and share your knowledge. For now, whenever I have Sleep Paralysis, I usually force myself out of it and not 'let go', not because i'm afraid of whats going to happen, but because i'm afraid of whether it has something to do with the jinn world and I don't want to do shirk or anything i'm not supposed to.
thank you.
