Even though I'm not Muslim, I've always felt fastinated by Islamic World, and I love learning new things about it. Thank you so much for this video, it was very interesting, and instructive!
@@krissaberhagen Arabic not Muslim you fool.
Mathematics isnt of course exclusively Islamic. Indian and Greek culture were pre Islamic examples and more recently Europe etc But the Muslim ummah indeed added a lot to humanity's mathematical knowledge.
@@krissaberhagenMath was invented in the 640s AD yeah…
@@krissaberhagenmathematics is linked to everyone, Egypt, Greece, China, Aztecs fkn everywhere
Muslims took mathematics to the next level, in other words, the modern mathematics we enjoy today
Ayat Al Kursi, this man knows what he is talking about. Great content as always, very good
As a Muslim and Arab, I find this video an absolute perfection. A clarification about the use of Talismants and such is sorcery is a Shirk .
Go learn Theology and Jurisprudence from a good sheikh before you run around calling things shirk.
@@InsightfulNoor he is 100% right my brother , Talismans and charms are innovation and association , who do you think that created you ? a writing , an object or the All mighty Allah ? so why do you seek protection from objects or hand written words when you can have the help of the one that created everything ? he gave us the best protection of them all , his own words , the Quran , and one of the strongest ayah against the devil , Ayat Al Kursi , so stick to what all Sunni well known scholars have agreed on to be permitted and let the shirk practices for once , your soul will thank you inchallah in the end of times brother !
@@offlinegamer6756 All four schools of thought concur that wearing amulets with Allah's name or a Quranic verse is acceptable. It's possible that you attended Salafi School. Sure, if that's the school of aqidah you wish to adhere to. Don't, however, apply your worldview to everything.
@@InsightfulNoor give me your proofs from Al kittab and the Sunna , i'll wait !
@@offlinegamer6756 We did not study Al-Sihah al-Sittah, uloom ul Quran, tafseer ul Quran, or usool ul fiqh, the 1400-year-old scholarly tradition. We're not academics. There is much disagreement on this specific topic between Ahle sunnah wa jamaat and the so-called Salafi thinkers of the 19th century. Be open-minded and educated about Hujja from all angles.
As an islamic scholar,I really appreciate your efforts and precision of research in the subject
Islamic scholar ??? Stop right there mister.
Can you then as a Scholar answer why these people think such atrocities are totally fine as long as it just non Muslims
Further more why is it ok to such awful things to women
@@darkfader486 nothing awful is done to women in islam. Islam presents a model for whole population while others entertain the individuals. You can compare the disrespect and neglect and misuse of females through the centuries long term studies of islamic civilization vs others. Hope that would help you understand the universal application of a better system
@@darkfader486 tell me u never read or search about islam without telling me U still stack in 2004 propaganda against islam and still hilarious until now Why don't u do some research before u make fun of urself
I'm a native Arabic speaker and today I learned that Majnun means possessed by Jinn. I just thought it meant crazy but now it makes sense! 🤯
Maybe if you read the Quran more you would know.
Majnoun actually means the one whose mind is hidden because the association of jim and noun means hidden as such is jin and janna are called as such cuz they're hidden
Thank you
As anative arabic speaker also.majnon does not refer to jin.it refer to arabic word jonnah which means covered and hidden .a crazy man has his brain covered.jin are covered from our sight.jannah in heaven is covered..jan al layl means night covered the day light.
I remember when I lived in Saudi Arabia, people used to call someone "majnoon" if they thought they'd gone crazy. They would ask, "Are you nuts?" with the phrase "inta majnoon?"
I find it interesting that the Chinese word for ghosts and demons, i.e. 妖精(yao jing) sounds like Jinn. Looks like the spirit world is quite universal since antiquity.
In the Islamic faith, you find a lot of information about the jinn, unlike other cultures and religions, in which the jinn made it easy for them to mislead people and they began to worship the jinn devils
❤
It's not just the spirit world, languages generally have either shared roots or are inspired by one another
Always has been
it's like how the swastika has been around for thousands of years all over the world even in the americas way back in ancient times
Your Arabic pronunciation is so on point! I appreciate it. Clearly, you did extensive research and the accuracy is highly commendable.
you are English? How can you know his pronunciation good
you can speak both arabic and english..@@user-soon300
@@user-soon300Non-Arabs and non-Muslims can speak Arabic qalbi. Ladayna aql
That's what I felt too! Amazing pronunciation for a non native Arab.
@@kiwenmanisuno I totally agree, but a lot of Non-Arabs speak it so robotically. He was totally fluent i thought he's half Arab for a second lol
As a Muslim let me tell you very clearly there are no charms or amulet in Islam and anybody who wears or give them to others become non believers and thus out of islam due to the fact that these amulets contain shirk(association of other entities with god) which is the only sin that takes you out of the islam, same is the case for those who practice magic and those who contact a magician. There is only one way to heal the person effected by magic which is to recite certain verses of the Holy Quran. A lot of things told in the video have no connection with islam whatsoever rather they are linked with arab culture.
Also I heard that reading surat albaqarah helps
@@yehiaalshehri1006yes
Yep, islam is not same with arab culture
Exactly
baraka Allah Fik brother , i was hoping for some comment like yours pointing out the Shirk in amulets and charms , many of our own brothers and sisters are still falling for such traps , may Allah protect us from such downfall and may Allah Yahdina wa Yahdihom inchallah !
Around my dad’s hometown in Indonesia, according to several elders, the river was ruled over by a “Raja Jinn” who seemed to be perfectly happy to leave the townsfolk alone as long as they respected the trees of the Raja Jinn, he would only attack if the humans disturbed/destroyed the trees, as there was a myth that whoever cut down the oldest coconut tree, was suddenly unable to walk. I speculate this jinn might’ve been some sort of form religious syncretism, as he felt like a pre-islamic entity converted into the lens of islam, being that animism was still fairly popular around the time of these elders, perhaps it was originally a folk spirit that remained present when the town converted or adopted a less “pagan” version of islam. I love your videos Filip, they’re incredibly informative and creatively inspiring, though i did feel this video was too arab centric, as Indonesia was wholly ignored despite being the most populous muslim country, although im aware our mythology is rather hard ro find good research on, and you seem mostly fascinated by the middle east which is fair.
im not indonesian but my dad lives in bali and theres a tree in the area he lives in that has a very similar story of someone becoming paralyzed after messing with a sacred tree
You know in my town lamongan there was a story from my friend who saw people try to take down a haunted tree for someone's home construction. But everyone who tried to do it died, there was atleast 13 people who died because being possessed by djinn of that one tree, i dont know if it because of the djinn but many people here at that time still practice black magic, so i'm pretty sure it was because of djinn.
For some reason I had not realised the Jinn mythology reached all the way to Indonesia. Likely all across silk road routes and elsewhere, there are some similar folklore. I have heard similar stories from people from Morocco for example, particularly non-arab Berber/Amazigh. My parents and grandparents used to tell fairytales of Jinn when I was a child. They stated that Jinn were neither good nor bad, even some had a sense of humour and like playing tricks. Though more of their stories seemed to relay the bad side of Jinn and so to be careful of them - even the good ones could be temperamental. Another thing they said was that some of the places Jinns liked to reside were in woodlands, as you mention trees but also near water, like rivers and canals (though not seas or oceans). There is a route I walk sometimes which is partly beside a canal and in the evening it is not lit up, I even have to walk under a rail bridge. Even as an adult, I have in mind a vague thought Jinns are hanging about here.
@@2live4u95 one tip for your dad to live in bali, dont do anything funny near the tree that has a piece of loincloth wrapped on the trunk, that is a sign from the local which means the tree is sacred, and there is "someone" who lives there, guarding the tree from human's hand
@@abhigail oh yeah thats exactly what im talking about! he knows many of the leaders in the area he lives in and has been living there for many years, there used to be a jinn in the river near his house but i think it was exorcised bc i havent heard anything about it in like 10 years haha
Best rational/educational take on religion is found on this channel. Thanks a ton😊😊😊
NAH
This channel is great, have you also checked out Esoterica?
I spent a lot of time in Aceh Sumatra around 23 years ago. I saw 2 cases of "possession" first hand. Both were extremely strange and the strength and pain resistance of both of them was incredible. As someone that was sceptical I still look back and wonder.
Let's Talk Religion casually remains top of the theological charts. Followed by the close 2nd ESOTERICA and 3rd Religion for Breakfast. I see Ryan Reeves has returned to the platform upping the game even more. What a great era for ordinary people to have such fantastic learning tools of this quality.
Not exactly in the same category or level of informational content, but I really dig hochelaga. Mr. Mythos is good too
💯💯💯 I follow all 3 in your list and I agree wholeheartedly.
@@nas2817 Check out Ryan Reeves. His videos on Christian history are similar to Filip does on Sufism on this channel. I learned more from all these guys than I did at university.
Since they're part of my religion I was and still am fascinated by Jinn. So much that once, when I was about 12 or 13, during the Magreeb azan disobeyed my mum and went to the roof to insult Jinns (pls, any Jinn reading this, don't be offended I was a child) just to make them appear before me. Also except me, mum and my brother, almost everyone in my family claims that they saw Jinns. For example my dad claims seeing what he calls 'Jinns wedding'. He says him, his mum and everyone present that time (this happened around 80s) watched multiple balls of light in a V formation, the first one glowing red, flying across the afternoon sky. He said it was beautiful. Then there's this famous one in my family about one of my uncle's. When he was a university student (also around 80s or 90s) he used to frequent this tea shop at 12 am after studying. So one night he and the shop owner encountered these two men. According to my uncle they were really tall, very beautiful, fair skinned, wearing gowns and he says that their feet were backwards. They bought sweets from the tea-shop owner and paid so that's that. It's fun hearing stories like these but there are violent ones too. For example, these happened in villages and back when everything wasn't so developed in my country, when the country wasn't so over populated and so bright with electricity. Back then Jinn used to lure people mimicking their families voice, at midnight, from their homes and to a nearby pond or any watery body and tried to drown them. So yep. They're just like people, they can die, they have different religion too but they're fourth dimensional... I think I read that somewhere. Oh my grandpa's grandpa had a Jinn friend. But then he stopped visiting my great great grandpa....thank you for reading so far.
Great stuff, give us some more family jinn stories!
Ok, where do you come from? In my village, people in the 1950s still have their own Jinns. They befriend those Jinns for many purposes.😅
It's not that you haven't seen the jinn, it's that you didn't know it was a jinn. One of the classifications of jinn is the جنّ العامر So they've been hanging around in the local neighborhood for centuries
It's interesting to note that not everyone in your family witnessed the existence of a Jinn. Also quite interesting that you would think that Jinns might be reading your comments on KZhead. Have you seen a youtube account that is owned by a Jinn? How does one tell that said account belongs to a Jinn? I obviously have further questions, like what kind of internet subscription does a Jinn pay for connection or what would be the electrical tariff be like... Thanks in advance for you response.
That's awesome. I'm from Brazil and in the 1950s there were definitely a lot of different types of village spirits roaming about... from famous regional ones like curupira, saci or boi-tatá, to more regional ones. less now but you can still hear many good stories @@yojan9238
I love your spooky episodes. Please make these regularly not just in October
Up until a few centuries ago, Jinn were very much known in the western world as well. They were known by the term "Genius", which has of course a different meaning nowadays, but it orignally comes from the idea that extraordinary ideas and abilities come from being possesed by ethereal beings.
Yes indeed .
Fake news.
They're known as Genies.
There's also the 'genius loci', which is essentially the 'spirit of a place'. They're found in a variety of pantheistic and polytheistic societies. 😊
Given the prevalence of occultism on college campuses, the semantics may have changed, but tapping into the unseen to do its bidding in the name of academia is still openly practiced
You put your soul to make this video. The amount of information is impressive.
I have met an Egyptian man who believed he was possessed, and who would regularly visit a sufi gathering to 'let the jinn out' every week. This seems to have been enough for him to live a perfectly normal life - he didn't speak English but as his friend explained, when he was an infant, his mother went to work in the fields and took him with her, and one time it went late, he was left lying in direct moonlight and so a jinn entered. Now, the jinn is peaceful as long as it is 'let out to play' every so often. This didn't also seem to affect his standing socially. He invited us to a sufi gathering in the outskirts of Cairo, but perhaps the jinn was shy, as he didn't that time go to trance.
"Left dying in direct moonlight." Sorry, just struck me as an odd saying. Is there something dangerous about being exposed to moonlight?
That djinn totallt lie to you, its not shy or anything, its powerless
@@asmrnaturecat984stop being a hater. Humble yourself
A shy jinn lmao..
Hmmm, sounds like kufr to me

Yayyy!! TY, Philip! Love this channel, Esoterica and Dr. Puca too!! Because of Academics and Scholars, ppl like Me have access to ancient Grimoire and texts to understand and work with🌞📚🕯
Your pronunciations are flawless
There are also a unique form of ruqya outside of Middle East, from countries like Indonesia & Malaysia. Of course there are similar aspects like Quran recitation. What makes Islam exorcism differs than others is how any muslims can perform it & there is even a form of self ruqya. Which is very different in comparison to other religions like Christianity or Buddhism etc as you are most likely need supposed "priest" to do exorcism. Also, it seems you also kinda missed a big point that each human have their own form of "djinn" in which called "qarin."
Qarin does not possess and only whispers and has no effect on your daily living. It’s what the west calls intrusive thoughts. Some cultures like Indonesians and Malaysians are heavily involved in jinn and the unseen world from before Islam came to them and till this day even their ruqya has bits of old culture practices

Thank you for this amazing channel and great content! Big time fan. God bless.
Welcome friend
This is an amazing channel, I am so happy I found it, really thank you for your work
I love your teachings, keep up the good work.
Great video. Surah al Nas mentions " I seek refuge in the Lord of men, the king of men, the God of men, from the evil whispering of the slinking (devil) , who whispers into the hearts of men , from among jinn and men alike" ... It implies that jinn can potentially be heard ( maybe as a whisper).
The "whisper" refers to the "voices" in your head that cause you to go astray, or cause you to lack discipline in following the path of Islam
And thoughts. Some of our thoughts are not our own. That's why we always pray for wisdom and guidance.
The whisper into the chests of men, meaning it doesn’t enter the heart directly. It’s introduced to us as a “thought” and we feed it from there. Whether we let it enter our heart or not is us, we can’t blame the whispers causing action.
No, it indicates the devil not only whispers to humans but to jinns aswell
brother, regardless of what others are saying, your video is on point, quite accurate. Also your arabic pronounciation is Ma shaa Allah. 👍
My favourite season with you!
Your knowledge of our culture and religion is truly impressive
I am a victim of Jinn possession and I have been facing it since I was very young. They literally have been giving me false memories but I have been ignoring them lately and I must say I feel much better than before (My condition had got very bad last year).
May Allah help you. Btw, what are some other problems you have been facing?
Focus on your Islam, i have heard of a few instances where the victims themselves became a good influence and Jin themselves. Support of Family and good company helps a lot. Easier said than done, but in the end no matter how strong human or Jin is, Allah is Almighty. And we all do get tested in our own way.
No you're not akhi Ibn Hazm was right the Quran is clear when Allah SWT brings people to judgment they say "It was Shaytan who forced me to do it" and Shaytan will free himself from them, and say he had no power over you, then Allah will punish them both. Maybe you had a mental or spiritual infirmity when you were young. WHy would ALlah SWT let a jinn possess someone and make him do evil which he'll be judged for.. It's against Quran.
@@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200 I don't have any mental infirmity and I went to a imam who confirmed to me that it's a jinn problem. Jinn and man both have free will so we both will be judged for our deeds
They give false memories ?
As a Muslim and a Moroccan. I feel the need to give more precise information about Aysha Qandisha. Information which honestly I felt let down that you didn't include in your video, since I've been following your channel for so long now. Aysha Qandisha is much more of a powerful female figure in Morocco than a mythical Jinn. The original name of this woman was given to her by the Portuguese: Aisha Contessa. She was a fierce Moorish Mujahidah against the Portugese in the 15th century. The Portugese thought her a ghost, and her fame reached every part of Morocco. Nowadays, only few people belive she actually exists, namely kids and people in the central cities of Morocco such as Fes and Meknes which are very invested in the obscure world. In the rest of Morocco, she's more celebrated than feard, and everybody past the age of 10 knows what the legend is about.
Huge admirer of your work. Hope to see more videos.
You got it right, all the stuff mentioned w patience and great persistence does work!

Interesting video. I have personally experienced many episodes of severe mood shifts and lost of motivation etc, but after trying the Islamic Ruqyah method it always gets lighter and easier on me.
U r a very kind hearted and intelligent person. U explain things very easily. Plz try to add subtitles because auto generated subtitles r messed up,
that was fantastic dude, awesome work.
Always compelling documentaries.
In Malaysia Ruqya centers are everywhere, I was a skeptic and felt I might be afflicted by one so I gone to a couple of them. Most rarely have patients so usually you will get private session. If you go a popular local ruqya center, most people in that area will randomly come. There you can just sit amongst large crowds and witness a few people have those affect like in those movies you saw. I saw once a girl jumps high and horizontally literally defying logic, attack people in the crowd. Some really talks in foreign language,.acts like a tiger or confess as an archaic deity on hill tops something like that.. All of the session are in the orthodox quranic recitation without drums or talisman because posession usually happened because of talisman made by magic user like in those diagrams in Sham Al Maarif then tied into a knot. In one Ruqya center I've gone to have a wall of magic talisman gallery that they found buried near the house of the possessed. Just visit a few if you are skeptical.
As a former sunni niw turned quran only, Im still quite skeptic towards ruqyah. All these supposed rasukan could be mental illnesses (or from chemicals/drugs) that are not discovered yet or that particular area really dont have competent doctors
@@syarifmirza1195akhi also look up to hadees and leave by Quran and sunnah be a Muslim 😊 not Shia, sunni and mujahid
@@syarifmirza1195 I was a skeptic and first always believe 99 or 100 percent because of mental illness. After many times witnessing different places and people affected by it, plus the shit happened around. I guess it was like how Ayahuasca can turn an Atheist to a witness to the unseen. But, this is without any drugs or any bs. Seriously I was skeptical of most videos online. Just take a leap of faith, challenge it to the core, visit and see with your own eyes. Don't ever take my word, verify on your own.

That was extremely interesting and informative to watch. People really need to be exposed to more information like this. Nice job.
This has been a thought provoking video. I am respectfully interested to learn how this is viewed, in relation to the medical advancements we have made over these years versus the understandings of those that preceded us.
There is no contradiction.

On a aussi des tentatives de conciliation des vues, ou du moins une volonté de faire en sorte que le psychiatre n'adopte pas une posture de rejet face aux allégations de possession de certains patients, dû au fait d'une posture ethnocentrée demeurée inquestionnée "This clinical case report shows how important it is for a psychiatrist to have a knowledge of the cultural and religious context of the patient, in order to understand fully his or her complaints. Culture and religion, in fact, are not neutral, but convey symbols, meanings, and myths that should be properly explored to shed light on the patient’s inner world." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3533684/
There are many turkish horror movies which depict Jinn possessions. Movies like Sijjin, Dabbe, etc. are one of the best content on this.
you guys like them? They are almost always made fun of in Turkey. Very interesting honestly
@@Ceylin_Kurtbogan lol yeah...i got overall good feedback for those. First few episodes of Sijjin were good. I mean, I found them as good as conjuring 2.
Not all of them are good they all have the same sort of story line but my favourite and I hope you would like the Dabbe 4 : Curse of the Djinn. The movie nicely portrayed how possession happened and how to get rid of that.. With cameraman POV which makes it more realistic
I am an ardent admirer of your series. Have watched them again and again. You are performing an invaluable service to seekers after knowledge. I was wondering if you could start a parallel series about philosophy - Let’s Talk Philosophy?
This is a fantastic episode 😮
May Allah protect us ❤
Filip, what would we all do without your education full of wisdom with intelligence on different faiths and writings? In addition to your creativity in music. The world is a blend of dark and light.❤️
Love the topic selection! I've also watched your general video about the Jinn some time ago... please make more videos that go into more detail about the theology/cosmology etc of the Jinn! Cheers
great video!! i really appreciate that you also mastered the pronunciation of the arabic words too!!
My aunt was possessed by sihr (magic) once and I heard her terrifying changing voice by my own ears
the modern take on jinn is really fascinating authors in Saudi are writing novels about jinn and at this point it's not horror but a jinn genre on it's own also growing up there was always a story about the school jinni and in some families you can hear a story or two It's a gold mine of stories
LMAO the "school jinni" brought back memories from when I was studying at an islamic school. And there was a classmate who liked eating graphite from pencils and climbing rooftops for some reason, leading some to believe he got influenced by jinns 😂
Thanks for sharing ocean’s of wisdom , brilliantly delivered. Superb and noble work . Be blessed and stay in Divinity Grace ✌️❤️🙏⭐️
Very knowledgeable. Great content!
There's a famous story where i live, a man was building his home and was having financial problems buying construction materials, he one day started finding materials like cement and bricks, he decided not to question it or tell anyone and just use the materials, he kept building and finding new materials coming from nowhere, he was able to build a fancy two storey house, after some time living in it he started to hear noises and talking upstairs in one room, sometimes he'd close the door just to find it open at night, he brought an imam to check the room and he found that a jin was living there, the imam ordered the jin to leave but the jin told the imam to ask the man about all the building materials he got for free, the jin was helping the man build his home in exchange for a room upstairs, the man larer decided to move out of the house and its still abandoned to this day
Similar famous story where I live...there's a famous sweets shop in Darjeeling called "Narayan Das"..it exists till today ,located at the very heart of the town ..today run by his grandchildren...their grandfather called Narayan das one day meet a jin.He used to be very poor then..one night he meet jin somewhere near railway station riding on white horse and the jin gave him 1 rupee from his pocket and told to keep it with him...later he kept that money with him and after some years he become super rich,opened sweets shop under his name,his business blossomed....everyone in my place know this story... there's a saying that not to accept anything from jinn or else the jinn will take that person after his or her death..
as a Muslim, i have to admit, this guy knows more about my religion than myself. its something i appreciate. Although most of us are brought up to believe that these practices are forbidden in islam (including myself), i do believe there is more to it than meets the eye. There is somethings that are hidden away from us, to prevent from being misguided unless you know the proper ''way''. iv encountered religious people who tell me that im ''not spiritually ready to understand'' so its easy to be misguided into the wrong side and to prevent abuse. ofcourse there are so many people who abuse this as well, no doubt. for example one that suprised me was about the use of talismans, iv always been brought up to believe that its shirik (and ofcourse there are ones which are shirik) , but one person pointed out to me that we undoubtly use it everyday without realizing it. for example would be quranic verses displayed at home. its normal for muslims to display those, because it brings blessings into the house, - but isnt that also a form of talisman ? it actually is if you think about it. Wallahua'lam. Allah knows best
Thank you for this!
Salaam, it is a good explanation from you. Thank you for all that you have done. keep up the good work and benefit everyone. "I only accept true knowledge and reject false knowledge forever. I return all your knowledge and whatever belongs to you forever."
In islam the only ruqya(exorcism) is recitation of quran. Writing and drawing is or other things is considered as magic or innovative.
Quran burns And kills the jinn that entered the body. Quran is. the only treatment for jinn possession and Allah is the only healer.
kzhead.info/sun/mbt-mJuNa5Npd40/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/YL6QpJxwbX6lZIk/bejne.html
Writing Quranic verses is allowed and wearing them is allowed. I don't think that has anything to do with drawings tough.
@@luce3619 as a muslim it is not allowed, it's like disrespecting quran and holy verses. The whole purpose of verses is recitation.
@@LetsTalkReligion using of magic or doing ruqya using magic both is considered haram in islam. If anyone does it is outside realms of islam. The one you mentioned is either came from culture or tradition of particular region. Nothing to do with islam. We follow how prophets and his companions did. 🙏
Power of ayatal kursi is unimaginable I'm saying this from my personal experience
your videos are amazing tysm
You've earned yourself a new subscriber 😍❤
why am I watching this at night.
I was , after a very long period of evaluation, diagnosed with DID. I had always thought to myself that I was possessed by a Jinn when I had issues with it, as I would have experiences which I could not explain in any natural scientific way.
Then chances are you experienced a very traumatic childhood and your mind created this as a way to protect yourself. May blessings to you on your journey through life
Great video Filip, also come at a great time for me as I'm currently working on an original mystery horror screenplay which is focused on Jinn possession and Islamicate esotericism. Keep it up dude! 🙌
Excellemce assured with this channel!
I must say that I'm very impressed by your knowledge. I have myself encountered various species of the Jinn - both the harmless ones and the harmful ones. There is a lot of Jinn activity in my sister's apartment here in Stockholm. I even saw some, but in human shape, and they seemed harmless. I think the bad jinn are attracted to people with low or no morale. Bad jinn are attracted to negative energy. Thus, "normal" people are in no danger. Thank you for your very fascinating and interesting videos. It's rare to find someone with so much knowledge.
Do you think Ghosts or Poltergeists and Jinn could be the same thing? Some ghosts are harmless, some are not, so it fits.
@@Pushing_PixelsThere is no such thing as soul. These are the beings God created
@@Pushing_Pixels Yes, I do believe that. But I do also believe there are other spirits/creatures who can be harmful to us. If we for instance try to come in contact with the deceased such spirits/creatures can pose as our deceased loved ones and deceive us.
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j huh? souls exist in every abrahamic religion... ghosts? christianity and islam doesn't believe in them, if you mean that you are right. christian belief is that ghosts are demons masquerading as deceased loved ones to lure unsuspecting people to their possession
@@Pushing_Pixelsas someone who is the islamic faith i dont believe in ghosts this is because i believe from what i know ghosts are supposed to be the souls of humans however i believe that human souls are waiting for judgement i believe ghosts are just evil jinns playing tricks like for instance maybe pretending to be a dead relative etc I also believe evil jinns would only possess you if someones done some form of black magic on you to send then to you or you have been dibble dabbling with some some form of funky voodooo yourself otherwise a jinn wont really interact with you
Rosemary Ellen Guiley was an author who believed that many paranormal experiences were actually jinn as opposed to ghosts and the like. She had since passed away but I had been to one of her lectures and she spoke about jinn.
Jinn and poltergeists could be the same thing. It's just two different names in two different languages.
Guiley ended up working as a shill (unknowingly, though she should have been aware). While she may have done a tremendous bit of work for the field, her working with agencies hell bent on muddying the waters makes all of her work un-credible.
@@Pushing_Pixels I never gave that much thought
They are the same thing. A Jinn messing about in your house and throwing pots and pans is basically being mischievous. You should throw some pots and pans back too and clearly say you're not afraid. They can do all sorts of nonsense which looks scary to those who don't know about them. But you should read Quran and play the adhaan. They used to open food packets in my sister's new house and scatter them around the kitchen. They'd also slam the walls. We got rid of them in a day. Just a few things to add: 1. Although there are cases where Jinn and humans have had "relationships", THEY CANNOT INTERBREED. It is absolutely impossible, and there are no mixed human-jinn beings. 2. Writing verses on a piece of paper has no affect or protection against the jinn. They need to be written on one's heart and mind- and recited. That especially has an overpowering/disabling affect on the Shayateen (Satanic) types of Jinn. Some scholars say it's okay to keep these words in an amulet if it gives peace of mind, though they do agree that it's effects are placebo. 3. Furthermore, writing parts of Quran and the angels names etc on diagrams and tables is forbidden and has no protective capacity at all. It's a transgression and integrates astrology and numerology. Furthermore, practitioners of black magic write the very same things along with the names of Jinn in order to summon them and ask for "favours" or protection etc. Some fake raqis (exorcists) also make pacts with the leaders of the Jinn tribes who will then order weaker/subordinate Jinn around. These contracts are very unholy and lead to more corruption and chaos. As mentioned, burning and inhaling words/fumes is entering transgression and shirk. It's not from Islam. Furthermore, people might be summoning other Jinn to "protect" themselves from the possessing Jinn. This, and other ceremonies to appease/attract the Jinn are strictly forbidden and lead to more chaos/worsening of the situation in the long run. 4. It is not permissible to make friends or deals with the Jinn. Entering their world will only lead to exacerbation of all situations and lives involved. Any "gains" are often short-lived. 5. If you want to know more about this topic, I recommend starting with this book.

mashaallah you have very good arabic pronunciation and this was very informative, jazakAllah khair
Good quality and informative video! Keep up the scary October videos!
Besides, im also an Arabic native speaker. The word Sara' doesnt necessarly means possession. It also means epilepsy
When I was Muslim, I had several exorcism perfomed on me, but they never worked to cure my mental ailments. When I left and got proper psichyatric treatment I improved. Jinn possesions are just supersticious ways to explain mental illness.
Not all psychological problems are jinn related. Another thing to keep in mind is that most of those who claim that they can remove such things, they cant. It’s not just what you recite but also who does the recitation. Most people can recite exactly the same thing and nothing will happen. And there is some who actually can heal. I know one like that.
@@bennyt1020 there is nothing jinn related. jinn are imaginary creature, it exists for those people who believe in it. Now we know, what is mental illness and how we can get help. recitation does not help at all, may be at a level of a placebo affect.
@@AbdurRahman-cf8xd there is nothing jinn related, they are imaginary, now we have become so advanced because we have psychiatrists who can give us drugs to make us numb and never really heal. A simple search shows that in US alone 58 million people are suffering from mental illness, modern worldview and psychiatric sciences are doing stunningly well😅
@@AbdurRahman-cf8xdlol deluded
@@AbdurRahman-cf8xd says the guy who is mentally ill
Interesting, I love the theme for this month, I'll stay tuned for more
wow i love this channel
Very well done - I have worked with dJinn for many decades now - and find them as you say, benevolent beings - well,… as benevolent as most humans are - but this is very well researched and deeply appreciated. Thank you for getting the information out there about dJinn - love to see a follow-up on the positive dJinn and how they help mankind.
In the 20th century they're still people who used Djinn to tend for their cows or buffaloes. Some are also used a security to guard their farms or houses. Some are used for beauty purposes. The Djinn will passed down to the children of the desceased when the owner is dead. If the children doesn't accept them, they'll be the stray Djinns, going here and there, linger around without works.
@magickmagazine7675 It intrigues me that you have worked with Djinns. Would you be able to record a video of their actions and share with us? I too, have heard people's accounts, but never saw or experienced it myself. Such insights would help open my eyes and enrich my knowledge. Thanks in advance!
@@ElfieShafril I have photos - many many photos - but usually when it happens I’m doing something and somebody else catches them on the camera - it’s very hard to plan to catch them on a video - if they choose to reveal themselves, it’s quite spontaneous - so the photos come from many different people -I published a lot of them in a book called “spirit shots”
@@yojan9238 And if you love and appreciate them, they stay and cherish you like a dear friend - some of mine have been around since early childhood - I first remember seeing them reflected in a house window when I was about six or seven
@@magickmagazine7675do you have any social media? Could upload there for us to see :)
Our teacher used to quote a story,regarding his teacher who had married a jinni. Grocery jobs or bringing water etc from rivers were to be done by her children,to save time. ❤
I love your work. Thank you for your service! Happy Spooky Season!
Awesome video 😊
As a muslim jinns are always fascinating. When I was a child my friends and I would sit in a dark room clustered together and telling jinn stories. Such memories. Also one time my mum got really sick. she had to stay in hospital for some days. During that time I often went to my neighbours' who helped my mum. Their grandma adored my mum and told me that some jinn casted evil eye because she was so pretty🤣. That jinn couldn’t stop looking at her. She also said some weird stories and spooked me real good. Of course i didn’t believe these stories even though i believe in jinns. I told her what the gramma said to me after she recovered. Then mum told me that the grandma actually gave her some herbs for health benefits that made her sick in the first place. We know she meant her well but we told mum not to accept medicinal herbs from someone.
Not everything has to be spiritual if u get sick because of weather or food it is what it is it can be a spiritual attack but u can’t be so literal that old lady said that a jinn would not stop looking at her wow chill out she sounds like a envious woman it’s nobody’s choice to be ugly or pretty u don’t control that so to say ur sick for such thing is wild stay away from people that put spiritual conditioning in everything in life if it’s not positive because they can be a bit crazy or senile
They say they can have families, maybe there are young Jinn who think humans are fascinating. I wonder if groups of young Jinn sit clustered in dark rooms telling human stories.
As a Muslim, I also don't believe in stories like a jinn did this or that but however I do believe they can cause certain mental issues like intrusive thoughts, dopamine etc which is why the Quran calls it a "whisper from the shaytan"
I appreciated your interesting story. And lets keep it in the realm of fairy tales and folklore, not reality.
@@roberthannah7983you most likely think people die and everything’s go blank 💀
I had an NDE (near death experience) at 4 when I fell from a third floor balcony. Though I know it's impossible, it seemed as if I was 'caught' prior to hitting the hood of the car I fell on. The ones who reached for me and greeted me were wingless flying beings with light where their faces would have been. It might sound scary, but they were joyful and familiar. Ever since, I've believed in angels, but wish the word wasn't fraught with religious meaning. Here's to folks realizing they're all around us - the 'good' ones far outnumbering ones who bring trouble and danger. Paz y luz, everyone.
Believe me their is not such a thing as an NDE , it it was really your death , you wouldn't be here to talk about it , when your time has come ,their is no comeback....
hi! i just wanted to say that this video is really well researched! and the pronunciation is really good! i just wanted to add that i find it intresting how most cultures have something that can be considered jinn, this alone proves their exsistence to me
Thank you for your informative videos that also entertain us. I love the cozy ambient lighting you create this time of the year. I was born in the lowland regions of western Europe. I love this time of the year when darkness falls upon us sooner and last for many more hours. I have been an avid horror movies fan since childhood. I am looking forward to seeing more content from you this season👻🏰
I'm shocked no one has brought up the movie "Under the Shadow", an absolutely fantastic movie about Jinn.
❤
Absolutely !
dabbe
Always found it interesting that demons and jinn possessions were related to mental health . Definitely would love to see an episode on Kistune and Gumihos they’re similar to the werewolf meths but like jinn/demons it was believed a mentally ill person was possessed by a “Fox spirit”.
Bro you don't know about Jinn and i promise u u don't want to discover that world. It's real and I've seen shit and heard stories. Jinns are real and I honestly don't want anyone to go into that world because his life will be ruined
@@abdoubenmaarouf1468if they are real, why do only muslims know about them? Surely all people would know. Perhaps it is left over from older beliefs? Interesting anyway.
@@jameswaterhouse-brown6646 every culture have something about they just call them with different names but they are 100% real and exist. There is urban legends and mythology but jinns are totally different thing. I’ve seen exorcism and weird things nobody would believe even I wouldn’t have believed if I wasn’t there myself. I heard disturbing stories and I had my own experience with them. But I advice you not to look for them you can learn about them but do not try to encounter them it’ll change your life in the worst way possible.
@@jameswaterhouse-brown6646 here on KZhead you’ll find a lot of stories but none of them are real. If you wanna hear some real stories you should go to people living in the wild like people living alone far away from urban cities. But again my advice would be not to try and encounter jinns it’s not an adventure and it’s not an experience it’s the worst decision someone can make and once you’re in there is no going back
@@abdoubenmaarouf1468 none of its real
Mashallah, you are doing so great in research. And amazing videos. Thank you for the knowledgeable Documentries.
Many thanks for this Fantastic channel. Love it!
13:13 me an Arabic speaker trying not to read what’s on the paper and objects it’s very hard 😭
My grandma having told stories about Jinns, describing Jinns as very fun-loving spiritual entities with great sense of humour accordingly they are not evil , do not mean evil ..they actually love practical jokes and pranks, as such they might get annoyed if a human being happened to misunderstand them .
Jinn are neutral ,evil jinn are shayateen .And evil humans are shayateen
@@Mamluk8989Yeah the word shaitan is more like a status. Anyone can acquire it
Jinn are just like humans, free will. But Allah(swt) has clearly ordered humans and jinns to never cross over to communicate so naturally ONLY the jinns and humans that go against God's word and transgress will be the ones to communicate so technically speaking you wont ever come across a "good" jinn
A Jinn saved my life when I was a small child. Sometimes pathes cross and they decide to do something before something bad happens. But I would never contact them.
Maybe "shaitan" has the same root as "seitan", which is a gluten based food product of the devil, as far as I'm concerned. You ever wonder what Satan does with all the gluten from "gluten-free" "foods"? Well, now you know.
great video brother. about the ruqiya section, i want to emphasize that alot of the practices you mentioned are wrong practices frowned upon and are man-made, as you mentioned later. instead, reciting quraan and certain prayers is what is correct to do. you earned a new subscriber brother, good job.
This is a super interesting video. I think a really interesting example of the Islamic superstition can be found in the absorption of pre existing occult beliefs can be found throughout SE Asia, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia, where a lot of indigenous animist beliefs have been subsumed into the Islamic culture resulting in an interesting interplay between the role of Imam and Bomoh/Witch Doctor. Politics in states like Kelantan, which ascribe to a more fundamentalist expression of Islam, are rife with these figures.
It's because Nusantura is just a generally very haunted region
Jinns are everywhere in the world, usually found in abandoned places. There are people in different parts of the world that are afflicted with Jinn possession. Not just specific to those countries.
@@luce3619 I mean, no, because jinn aren't real so... I called it superstition for a reason.
@@camillagilmore1547 that's what you believe I am talking from the point of view of Islam.
@@luce3619 listen, if you want to believe in fairy tales that's up to you, but don't assume that other people are going to appreciate being spoken to as if they share that belief. Don't talk to me as if I believe in jinn and I won't be forced to remind you that they are fiction.
I'd like to thank you for the effort you make in producing those videos, and i'd like to share my understanding regarding the subject. 1- the jin are a creation made of a smokeless flame and there are many types like Ghouls, with different abilities like flying, shape shifting. 2- jin have different ranks and names based on strength like Marid and ifrit 3- the jin are neutral as you said, but the evil type of them are called Chaytan like ibliss (Satan)
Satan is an attribute used to refer to evil humans and jinn
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j that's also true , thank you for the additional information
I'm Muslim but as far as Ik Ghouls might be not part of the religion (e.g the Quran, Sunnah etc) but Rather can be a type of a Djinn usually originated from mythology/ stories like the Arabian nights
thanks for sharing. Very informative.
MashaAllah brother you know almost everything 👍
I still beliieve " Jin " derives its name and natural signification from the indo-european " Genius ( Latin ) -> Ján ( Persian ) denoting independent inner Psyche i.e. a sort of daimon .
Genius is derived from Jin. Not the other way around
@@princessa6412Difficult to verify. The Romans brought their religion to West Asia.
Jinn comes from the Arabic root جَنَّ meaning "to hide/occultate" Jaan is related to the Arabic word Ruh Any Farsi Arabic grammarian who knows what they are talking about will back this
@@user-fp2fl9ul2e The thing is no pre-Islamic Arabic texts to prove what you claim whereas both in Latin and in ( pre-Islamic) Persian there is ample documentation to make my theory more plausible .
@@princessa6412 Latin language is older and richer than Arabic, furthermore there are many Arabic words derived from Greek and Latin e.g. Qanoun ( Cannon in Greek ), ...etc.
