Question
Assalmu Alaykum, How does the jinn known as Incubus or Jathoom attack
humans during their sleep? Does he take an animal form and chokes the
person (external attack) or does he affect him through hisdreams
(enters the body as a demon possession)? Jazakum Allah khayran
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
The incubus is the nightmare that comes while one is sleeping. Some
contemporary physicians call it "sleep paralysis", and former and
contemporary physicians have spoken about it. They said that it is due
to physical causes in most cases and it might be due to other reasons.
Ibn Seena ) Avicenna ) said in his book Al-Qaanoon (the Law): "
Chapter on Incubus: It is called the suffocator and it can be called
in Arabic Al-Jaathoom, ..... it is a disorder in which a person feels
when he is in the first stage of sleep that a heavy imaginary thing
falls on him, squeezes him and constricts his breathing, so one loses
his ability to speak or move. He almostsuffocates due to the blocking
of the pores of his body, and when it leaves the person, he suddenly
becomes attentive, and it is an introduction to one of the three
illnesses: either epilepsy or stroke, or mania. That is if it was due
to congested mattersand not due to other non-physical reasons... "
[End quote]
It may also be that the Jaathoom is because of the jinn either by
possessing the person or by taking control over him through
imaginations and nightmares. Abu Qataadah said that theProphet said: "
The good dream is from Allaah while the bad dream is from the devil.
So, if any of you has a dream that he fears, he should spit on his
left andseek refuge with Allaah from its evil, for it will not cause
him any harm. " [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
