WE ARE PROTECTED
Assalamu'alaykum,
I dislike the way this is promoted, I'm not undermining the importance of safeguarding oneself from sihr, but there's no need for this creepy theme/sound track. It promotes fear of that which is unseen besides Allaah, when in reality, we fear nothing but Him.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab [1]:يا عمر بن الخطاب ما سلكت طريقاً ولا دخلتفجاً شعبا إلا سلك شيطان طريقاً وشعبا غير الذي سلكتSo the shayateen – the jinn, they are scared of the Believers, but they have a sense, they can feel the fear and fright of mankind. So if you become scared of jinns, they become brave and they start scaring you.So what you need to do is what Allaah تعالى says – what Allaah تعالى :ذَلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءهُ فَلاَ تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ{It is only Shaitân (Satan) that suggests to you the fear of his Auliyâ’ [supporters and friends (polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger, Muhammad)]; so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are (true) believers.} [Aal-‘Imraan 3:175]
So if you are a real Believer do not get scared of the Shayateen.
Allaah تعالى says to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا{See you not that We have sent the Shayâtîn (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do evil.} [Maryam 19:83]
And that’s why Yaa Ikhwaan we need to always be clean and that’s why the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم encouraged us always have wudū’ and to use perfume.
Allaah تعالى says: الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُم إِيمَانًا {… when Allâh is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur’ân) are recited unto them, they (i.e.the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone) …} [Al-Anfal 8:2]
And the other ayah: ألا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ {Verily, in the remembrance of Allâh do hearts find rest.} [Ar-Ra’d 13:28]
So do a lot of remembrance (adhkaar), the remembrance of the morning and evening, for entering the house, exiting the house, entering the toilet, exiting the toilet, entering the mosque, exiting the mosque, going into your car etc. You take all the remembrances that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught us.
the prophet (saw) would not have taught us to do this for no reasons. he warned us against jinn and evil and fear, its out there so we cant say i am a muslim and read quran and leave the unseen out. no, he told us how to protect ourself and this is part of our life and test. so if you get affected by black majic or evil possession, you cant say oh why me, the question is 'did you do what the prophet told you do do and what he warned us of'.
im sorry but they do exist, they are Allahs creation, we Love Allah, We fear none but Allah, if they scare us, its their jobs, our job is to remember Allah even if we are scared. make dua, pray, read quran, you'll feel better. If shaytan and jinn did not exist, you probably would not do anything wrong, so Allah created them to see and test our faith and love for him. so dont find it creapy, go study about it, read about it, you'll get over it and understand they are part of you, there probably one standing right next to you reading this and you do not know, its probably a muslim, its not harming you, so why you scared.
sorry but thats not just for you, its a reminder for me and everyone out there. they are with us everywhere, different shape and form, dont be scared, if you are its normal and not haram as long as you protect yourself the way Allah and the prophet (saw) taught us. whether you know about them or not, they will always be part of this world.
So you live for Allaah and Allaah will protect you.إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَآمَنُوا{Truly, Allâh defends those who believe.} [Al-Hajj 22:38]
And in the hadeeth Qudsi: [3]ولا يزال عبدي يتقرب إلي بالنوافل حتى أحبهفإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر به ويده التي يبطش بها ورجلهالتي يمشي بهاولئن سألني لأعطينه وإن استعاذنيلأعيذنهHere Allaah تعالى is telling you that as much remembrance, worship and optional worship you do for Him, He will protect your eyes, your ears, your hands and your legs.
That means you are surrounded by protection from Allaah تعالى and Allaah تعالى will send the angels around you.
Reported with the following wording in Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Kitaab Salaahtit-Taraaweeh (#1906) as part of a longer hadeeth.نعم البدعة هذه، والتي ينامون عنها أفضل من التي يقومونImaam Ahmad Bin Hanbal [Rahmahullah] Said: “Allah showers His Mercy upon the worshipper who approaches prayer in a state of humility and meekness towards Allah, in fear and supplicating Him with desire (for His Pleasure), and in hope (of His Mercy), making Salah to his Rabb, his most important consideration, dedicating his whispered utterances to Him and his back straight in his qiyam and his ruku.. and his sujud, poring out his heart and his feelings and struggling to perfect his acts of worship, for he knows not whether he will perform another prayer after it, or whether he will be overtaken (by death) before he can perform Salah again.”
Allah has enlightened us on the subject of Jinn through the seventy second (72nd) Surah Surah Al-Jinn, revealed late in Makkah and various other aayaat in the Holy Qur’aan. The Holy Qur’aan reveals that Jinn are created from fire whereas the human beings are created from clay. Although they are invisible to human eyes, the jinn can see us. Like human beings they are also entrusted with responsibilities (careers, family life, etc.). They too will be rewarded for their righteousness and will receive punishment for their wickedness.

there is so much that will help you understand.
in my opinion, those who reject or fear this topic, they do so because they find it too complicated to practice these protections who Allah and the prophet (saw) taught us and warned us of. or they dont believe this protection will work or they dont TRUST this protection. Allah is there and with us brothers and sisters, he created them and us, we owe Allah so much so lets seek his protection and block the shaytan. you will find this protection is not just for them to stop harming you, it will benifiet you in many ways of your life, your home, blessings, children, wealth, health, dua acceptance, it will do more than what you think.
you dont have to over do it, do what you are free to do and are capable of doing and leave the rest with Allah. Allah wont change or help someone unless they try or change themselves.
