How can I help this child?

[ShahnazZ]

:salam2:, I hope you all are in the best state of health and imaan.

I teach at a Sunday School at my masjid and recently I came across a very interesting child. This boy is six years old and can see jinn. Now I know that this is normal for children as their innocence allows them to see these things. However, they harass him and on once incident this child told me that "the man" came and knocked his teddy bear out of his arms at one point.

After discussing this incident with the child's father, I decided that I would teach this boy some surahs that he could recite for Allah's protection. Since Arabic is not his first language nor has he started learning how to recite it, I figured I'd start with something small. Like maybe Surah Nas, Surah Falaq, Surah Ikhlas, that kind of thing. Ideally, I would love for him to learn Ayat al-Kursi but I think it might be a problem for him as he is only 6 years old and would find this difficult to memorize. However, I'm thinking that I should tell his father to recite it with him every night before he goes to bed.

However, sometimes he sees these things suddenly in the middle of the night or spontaneously when he least expects it to, like most people would. This is where the problem lies. A muslim adult going through this situation would know to immediately start reciting a surah or doing dhikr of some kind if a jinn were to reveal itself to them. But this is a farfetched thing to expect of a child. He just turned six years old and his first reaction would be to get scared and to clutch his teddy bear and then to finally go running. It would be too farfetched for him to immediately remember to start reciting Surahs and making dua to Allah in the grip of such paralyzing fear.

Therefore, I want him to have something that will always remind him of Allah's Presence and Protection. The issue is that these things usually come in the form of taveez and that's the LAST thing I want for him as these things are haram to have and I don't want to set this kind of example for his family when they're looking to me to teach their child about Islam. So Taveez are a big NO. But I can't think of anything else that would help him immediately recall Allah's presence.

Before you reply, please put yourself in his position and think about this context from the view of a six year old. If a jinn were to pop up in front of you and start scaring you, the last thing you would do would be to start reciting a long surah. Instead, the FIRST thing you would do would involve you being paralyzed in mind-numbing terror, clutching your teddy bear/blanket/doll and then either a. screaming at the top of your lungs or b. running out of your room to your parents' room. I want to give him a sense of control, something that will help him remember he's being protected by Allah and that he's not all alone. Putting a Quran in front of him (like I'm sure some would suggest doing) isn't going to help him, because to a six year old, it's just a really pretty book that they can't read and don't understand. Taveez are a DEFINITE NO so those are OUT and I can't emphasize that ENOUGH. Most people feel these are the only solutions but they don't realize how much of a shirk it can be. So NO (and please no fatwas on how they're haram, I already know that ).

I can't really think of anything. People teach their children different techniques on how to not be scared of the "boogeyman" or the monster under their bed. I'm hoping that I can teach him something that will help him feel like he can "destroy" this monster so that he won't spend his childhood being afraid and I want him to utilize ISLAM in doing this since for a six year old this would be an amazing way for him to start connecting to his religion and seeing it as something powerful and amazing.

JazakAllah khair for listening and I await your responses

hmm this is a difficult one.
firstly are u sure that this is problem with a jinn and not some other psychological problem?

if this is a problem with the jinn, then.
1) An elder should always accompany him and he should never be left alone. his room should not contain picture of any kind.
2) it would be helpful if he remained in wudu.
3) if he is able to read the ayat ul kursi, surah nas, falaq then you can give him a plastic coated paper on which these surahs and verses are written. this can remain with at all times.
4) If he is unable to recite then we can give him an audio player with speaker. the recitation of ayat ul kursi and sura nas and falaq maybe recorded in loop. Obviously playing the stuff at the moment will take practice and maybe initially elders accompanying him can show him how to protect himself.
5) recite and blow the ruqaya surahs in water and keep the water with the boy. this water is ussually used by imams when they exorcise a possessed person.
6) memorize and recite dikhr often and give adhan when he see the jinn. i think even a little boy can do that. Obviously the elders must do it for him initially so that he has confidence that it works!

I know he is 6 yo but the key in dealing with jinn is not to show any fear. In reality jinn fear human beings and are extremely jealous of us. they can get very angry and are very revengeful. When people seek 'the help' of jinn (which is shirk), they become extremely happy because it's a kind of a victory for them over the human beings. in reality we know that only Allah can help us. However, there are muslim jinn also and muslim humans and muslim jinn should and do help each other in seeking knowledge and doing good deeds. Most old madarsas have jinn in residing in them. this is a fact!

It would be very beneficial to actually find out why these jinn are after this boy. did he annoy them or are the devils doing mischief with him? Jinns can hold grudges for generations. Perhaps you should ask the father whether his near family have had similar problem and what was done to solve it. Or indeed have they ever sought help with jinn or black magic?

if these jinn are spreading mischeif then they will probably give up after hearing the qu'ran and dikr around him. However, if they are out for revenge then it would be better to communicate with them to find out their grievances. Apologies may be forwarded to them. if they continue to harass him they might have to be burned with Quraan. Obviously you will need an experienced, pious muslim man to deal with this. he doesn't necessarily have to be an aalim, but he must have full faith in Quran and Allah (swt).

note: if somebody is asked to help this boy and the helper asks the name of the mother of the boy, tell him to get lost!

please read the books on jinn from http://www.kalamullah.com/jinn.html
you can alos download ruqyaas from the above link.

Now from islamqa (Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid)

How can we protect ourselves from the harm of the jinn?

I am having a problem with Jinn. I have been able to perceive Jinn in different ways all my life. I never seemed to be bothered by this until recently. I saw a Jinn in our apartment in the first days we moved in. Off and on I would pick up on a little activity from this jinn or even jinns like doors opening by themselves· seeing it· hearing them ect... However· things seem to be changing a lot. Now something is happening everyday and things which are making me uncomfortable in my home to the point where I do not want to live here anymore. The Jinn(s) open doors· shout my name startling me out of sleep· knock over objects· appear as a cat· are messing with my computer and phones· I see it's shadows and even more. It is very freaky. I am really not sure what to do about this proble. I am hoping moving out of this house will help the situation...? But in the mean time I have tried to recite Al-Baqarah· Al-Iklas· Al-Falaq· An Nas and even play a recording of the recitation in my house. The activity stops when I do so but as soon as I stop the recording the Jinn makes it presence known in some way or other (most of the time). Sometimes· my recording will be shut off and my cmputer reset in the middle of the recitation...which apparently has happened too many times. Jinn even appear to me in dreams very often. I do not know how to end this situation but I wouls seriously appreciste answers or suggestions soon.

– unless he is a Prophet.”

(Ahkaam al-Qur’aan, 2/195, 196)

Ibn Hazm said:

“The jinn are real, and they are creatures created by Allaah. Among them are kaafirs and believers. They can see us but we cannot see them. They eat, have children and die. Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):

‘O you assembly of jinn and Mankind!’ [al-An’aam 6:130]

‘And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire’ [al-Hijr 15:27]

‘”And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allaah, after listening to this Qur’aan), and of us some are Al‑Qaasitoon (disbelievers those who have deviated from the Right Path)’. And whosoever has embraced Islam (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allaah), then such have sought the Right Path.

And as for the Qaasitoon (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell”’[al-Jinn 72:14-15]

‘Verily, he and Qabeeluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them’[al-A’raaf 7:27]

‘Will you then take him (Iblees) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me’[al-Kahf 18:50]

‘Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish’[al-Rahmaan 55:26]

‘Everyone shall taste death’[Aal ‘Imraan 3:185].”

(al-Muhallaa, 1/34/35)

Hence what the questioner has seen may be just her imagination or an illusion, or it may be jinn appearing in a form other than that with which Allaah has created them.

Secondly:

With regard to the jinn harming humans, this is proven to happen and it does happen. Protection against that is attained by reciting Qur’aan and adhkaar (dhikr) prescribed in sharee’ah.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

“Undoubtedly the jinn can have a harmful effect on humans, and they could even kill them. They may harm a person by throwing stones at him, or by trying to terrify him, and other things that are proven in the Sunnah or indicated by real events. It was reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave permission to one of his Companions to go to his wife during one of the military campaigns – I think it was the campaign of al-Khandaq – as he was a young man who had recently got married. When he reached his house, he found his wife standing at the door, and he objected to that. She said to him, ‘Go inside,’ so he went inside and found a snake curled up on the bed. He had a spear with him, so he stabbed it with the spear until it died, and at the same instant as the snake died the man also died. It was not known which of them died first, the snake or the man. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) heard of that, he forbade killing the harmless kinds of snakes that are found in houses, apart from those which are maimed or are streaked and malignant.

This indicates that the jinn may attack humans, and that they may harm them, as is known from real-life events. There are numerous reports which indicate that a man may come to a deserted area, and a stone may be thrown at him, but he does not see anybody, or he may hear voices or a rustling sound like the rustling of trees, and other things that may make him feel distressed and scared. A jinn may also enter the body of a human, either because of love or with the intention of harming him, or for some other reason. This is indicated in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

‘Those who eat Ribaa will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytaan (Satan) leading him to insanity’[al-Baqarah 2:275]

In such cases, the jinn may speak from inside of that person and address the one who is reading verses from the Qur’aan over him; the reciter may take a promise from the jinn never to come back, and other things concerning which there are very many reports which are widespread among the people.

So the protection which will prevent the evil of the jinn is for a person to recite that which is narrated in the Sunnah as being effective in providing protection, such as Aayat al-Kurisy, for if a person recites Aayat al-Kursiy at night, he will continue to have protection from Allaah, and no shaytaan will come near him until morning. And Allaah is the Protector.’”

(Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 1/287-288)

The Sunnah mentions adhkhaar (dhikr) by means of which one may gain protection from the shayaateen (devils). These include:

Seeking refuge with Allaah from the jinn:

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if an evil whisper from Shaytaan (Satan) tries to turn you away (O Muhammad) (from doing good), then seek refuge in Allaah. Verily, He is the All Hearer, the All Knower”[Fussilat 41:36]

“And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytaan (Satan), then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower”

[al-A’raaf 7:200]

It was narrated from Sulaymaan ibn Sard that two men were trading insults in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them), until the face of one of them turned red. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “I know a word which, if he were to say it, what he is suffering from would go away: ‘A’oodhu Billaahi min al-Shaytaan il-rajeem (I seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan).’”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3108; Muslim, 2610)

2 – Reciting al-Mi’wadhatayn (the last two Soorahs of the Qur’aan, al-Falaq and al-Naas).

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to seek refuge with Allaah from the jinn and from the evil eye until the Mi’wadhatayn were revealed, and when they were revealed he started to recite them and not anything else.”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2058; he said it is hasan ghareeb. Also narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 5494; Ibn Maajah, 3511. The hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4905).

3 – Reciting Aayat al-Kursiy

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) put me in charge of guarding the zakaah of Ramadaan. Someone came to me and started grabbing handfuls of the food. I took hold of him and said, ‘I will take you to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ He said, ‘I will teach you some words by means of which Allaah will benefit you.’ I said, ‘What are they?’ He said, ‘When you go to your bed, recite this aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists)…” [al-Baqarah 2:255] – until he completed the aayah. Then Allaah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no shaytaan (devil) will come near you until morning.’ The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked me, ‘What did your prisoner do last night?’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, he taught me something, and claimed that Allaah would benefit me by it.’ He said, ‘What was it?’ I said, ‘He taught me to recite Aayat al-Kursiy when I go to bed, and said that no shaytaan would come near me until morning, and that Allaah would appoint a guard for me who would stay with me.’ The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘He told you the truth, although he is an inveterate liar. That was the Shaytaan.’”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3101)

4 – Reciting Soorat al-Baqarah

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not make your houses like graves, for the Shaytaan runs away from a house in which Soorat al-Baqarah is recited.”(Narrated by Muslim, 780)

5 – The last verses of Soorat al-Baqarah

It was narrated that Abu Mas’ood al-Ansaari said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever recites the last two verses of Soorat al-Baqarah at night, that will suffice him.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4723; Muslim, 807)

It was narrated from al-Nu’maan ibn Basheer (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah inscribed a book two thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, from which the last two aayahs of Soorat al-Baqarah were revealed. If they are recited for three nights, no shaytaan (devil)will remain in the house).

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2882. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1799).

6 – Reciting “Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allaah Alone with no partner or associate; His is the Sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things)” one hundred times.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever says “Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer” one hundred times in the day, will have a reward equivalent to that of freeing ten slaves, one hundred hasanahs (good deeds) will be recorded for him, and one hundred sayi’ahs (bad deeds) will be erased from his record, and it will be protection for him from the Shaytaan for that day, until evening comes. No one could achieve any better than him except the one who does more than he did.”

(narrated by al-Bukhaari, 31119; Muslim, 2691)

7 – Remembering Allaah often (dhikr)

It was narrated from al-Haarith al-Ash’ari that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah commanded Yahyaa ibn Zakariyah (peace be upon him) five things to follow and to enjoin upon the Children of Israel… and he commanded them to remember Allaah, and the likeness of that is a man who was being pursued by the enemy, until he reached a strong fortress in which he found protection; similarly a man cannot find protection from the Shaytaan except by remembering Allaah…”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2863; he said it is hasan saheeh. The hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1724)

8 – The adhaan

It was narrated that Suhayl ibn Abi Saalih said: “My father sent me to Bani Haarithah, and there was with me a slave of ours, or a companion of ours. Someone called out his name from a garden, and the one who was with me looked into the garden and did not see anything. I mentioned that to my father, and he said, ‘If I had known that this was going to happen to you, I would not have sent you. But if you hear a voice then make the call for prayer, for I heard Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrating that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the Shaytaan hears the call to prayer, he runs away fast.”’”(Narrated by Muslim, 389).

The word translated here as “runs away fast” may also mean “farting.”

9 – Reciting Qur’aan offers protection against the Shaytaan

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And when you (Muhammad) recite the Qur’aan, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an invisible veil (or screen their hearts, so they hear or understand it not)[al-Israa’ 17:45]

And Allaah knows best.

 

[dunno]

the above comment is very good
but make him memorize simple things like

اعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

i think the translation is
i seek refuge in allah from satan

try to make him say stuff like bismillah or alhamdullah whenever he starts doing anything
so when he is faced with jinn and he is really afriad he will say them spontaneously without even thinking
play a sound recording of sura al baqarah in his room

 

[rightpath_357]

Awwwwww!!!! Poor kid!

Sis- is his mom there or something? Because mom's are the most comforting for a kid. But also- tell his parents to recite Aytul Kursi before he goes to bed and in the morning and evening, and blow on him.

Does he see the Jinn throughout the day- or only at night?

If at night, or anyways, encourage his family to take out anything in his room that would call Shaytan in. Such as pictures.

Also- tell them at night, to turn on a computer Qur'an reciter - maybe from here- www.quranexplorer.com

or on a casset or whatever...

Tell them to put on Surah Bakarah- it wards off evil.

Make sure it can be heard from his room.

I wonder if he could get up and punch the jinn in the face- what would that do?
No- I'm serious, would that work?

Or maybe his parents could convince him to ignore the monster- that it's just a guy dressed up as some ugly thing to get some candy out of the kid- and to ignore him, etc......


Hope this helps- at least a little bit.

May Allah protect him! Ameen!

Salam!!!!!!

Sister!

Yes he has his mother but I believe she's not as religious as the father is. I'm not sure how she comforts him but being his mother I'm sure she must. I do know that whenever these jinn scare him, he goes running to his grandmother instead who then makes dua for him and recites ayat al kursi over him.

Does he see the Jinn throughout the day- or only at night?.

Both. He also sees them in outdoor places as well so it's not just limited to his home.

Also- tell them at night, to turn on a computer Qur'an reciter - maybe from here- www.quranexplorer.com

or on a casset or whatever...

Tell them to put on Surah Bakarah- it wards off evil.

Make sure it can be heard from his room.

Ironic that you mentioned it trying to get candy out of him...he actually did give one candy once! And unfortunately, it became his friend

JazakAllah khair for these! May Allah reward you immensely

Children can "see" a lot of things..

I have a little sister..and she does *not* sleep if her closet door is even slightly open..it has to be *tightly* shut..because according to her "the dog will come out of it and bite her"..and a lot of times she'll refuse to walk by herself outside because "there's a big bug and it will eat her"..

And we've all been children and remember the fears we had from the space below our beds..from the strong wind..the tree shadows at night..the boogieman..and the list continues..

It is all due to children's overactive imagination (i.e. just think about their "imaginary friends" and how *realistic* they make them sound!)..so you must approach the child from a psychological and emotional stance..and since the child is Muslim you may add the spiritual one as well..

You can tell him that no one is there to hurt him if he says he's seeing someone when he's with you..or if he tells you things such as the teddy bear getting knocked out of his hand tell him that it might've just slipped *really hard*..or you can tell him that he's a big boy and nobody can hurt big boys..also you can tell him that Allah is with him all the time and He protects him from *everything* so he should never be scared...and so on and so forth..pretty much dismiss his fears and instill courage in him *consistently* until he gets over the phase

If he is not old enough to comprehend even the words of a surah..then I am sure he does not comprehend the concept of Jinns and their existence..the problem can *literally* be the little boy being a little boy who's imagination has gotten a kick-start now that he's 6 and is maturing more mentally..and you should tell his parents to figure out the exactly what makes their child scared (i.e. movies?..games?..bullies?..family fights?..etc.) so they'd end it..

I see what you're saying but this child does in fact see jinn. He has no idea that those are what he's seeing but his father has confirmed that he does see them since he sees them as well and when an adult "sees" things there's usually more credibility than when a child does.

Another point of mention is that even if you were correct and he was imagining these things, Sister, if I were to tell you the things that he's seen these jinn do, there's no way you would believe that a 6 year old came up with this from his own imagination. And trust me, he comes from a very stable and loving home so there's no case of psychological distress.

Having a degree in psychology my first approach is to address the situation with some skepticism. However, alhamdulillah, I've acquired some ilm on this subject and from what I know it is not uncommon for children to see these things in addition to the fact that not acknowledging his seeing them will do more harm to him than good. Also, adults, including his father, have seem them as well in addition to him so if this was a negative habit of his, I'm not sure his own family would be keen on enabling it.

JazakAllah khair for your input and I'll keep your words in mind

 

[arzafar]

JazakAllah khair for these tips! I really like what you came up with and inshAllah I'll pass them along to his father.

Barakallahu Feek and May Allah reward you for your efforts.

no i was implying something else.
jinn are very revengeful. for eg if a person got possessed, and the jinns on him were burned, the son, father, or some relative of that jinn might return to the possessed person, if he doesnt take care. If he does take care then they might wait for that boy to grow up, to have kids etc, and then they come back years later and trouble that boy's child, to avenge for the death of their relative. These things do happen and can go through generations. Obviously we need to confirm whether this is true with the family in question.

If the jinn persist annoying him, then it would be better to communicate with the jinn and ask why they are doing it.
1) revenge - they got angry at something that the boy or his family did
2) mischief - they make silly excuses, and will invent stories and lies
3) scare people away from a place, tree etc - they may want to occupy the place permanently.
and other reasons
please see the books on the site i had linked.

note: avoid approaching people who have jinn 'under their control'. they will usually ask for the name of the mother. what they do is send their jinn to the jinn who is troubling the person and try to get that jinn under their control, to increase their 'power'. things can get messy with this approach which is forbidden in islam and constitutes shirk (seeking help with other than Allah)!

 

[Imad]

Assalamoelaikoem warahmatullahi wabaraktuh,

You have internally and externally involvement of the jin. I mean by internally, the possesion. From internally they are able to influence the possesed to see things which are imaginations ( not true). And externally the jins are able to come in one or other form.

To distinguish between this two, someone has to read the roqia shar3ia on the boy. The raqie knows the symptoms of the possesed one. If there are no symptoms at all, then we are sure it's externally.

Yes of course teach him te qoran to protect himself.

Wassalaoelaikoem warahmatullahi wbarkatuh

Sister!

Yes he has his mother but I believe she's not as religious as the father is. I'm not sure how she comforts him but being his mother I'm sure she must. I do know that whenever these jinn scare him, he goes running to his grandmother instead who then makes dua for him and recites ayat al kursi over him.



Both. He also sees them in outdoor places as well so it's not just limited to his home.



Ironic that you mentioned it trying to get candy out of him...he actually did give one candy once! And unfortunately, it became his friend

JazakAllah khair for these! May Allah reward you immensely

ur welcome sis.

WHAT??!!!!! THE JINN BECAME HIS FREIND? wow- Oh, Ya Allah proctect him.

But is he scared now?
