Jinn – Possessed by a Jinn

Question:

My sister is having problem with a jinn since last 12 years. Please advise on a cure.

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

Thank you for your question.

To be protected from such evils, one should do the following:

– Have firm belief in Allah
– Obey Allah Almighty’s commands, leading a righteous life
– Pray to Allah Almighty for protection
– Constantly recite Qur’an
– Recite the acceptable supplications recorded in the Prophetic narrations
– Remain in purity and ablution.
– Continue seeking proper knowledge of the religion through authentic sources
– Consult an authentic scholar trained in ruqyah for recitations of the Quran to be rendered for spiritual healing.

Ibn Al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said to him, “Shall I guide you to the best thing that those who seek protection use for protection?” He replied, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah!” The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said, “Say, I seek refuge with the Lord of Al-Falaq.’ (Surah Falaq, Qur’anic chapter 113) and ‘Say, I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.’ (Surah Nas, Qur’anic chapter 114). These two chapters [are the best protection].” (Nasa’I, Tafsir ibn Kathir)

May Allah Almighty keep us all in His protection.

And Allah knows best.
