We all have a Jinn Companion

Every individual among the sons of Aadam has a jinn who has been
appointed to be his constant companion (qareen). Ibn Mas'ood said:
"The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said, 'There is not one of you who does not have a jinn appointed to
be his constant companion.' They said, 'And you too, O Messengerof
Allaah?' He said, 'Me too, but Allaah has helpedme and he has
submitted,so that he only helps me to do good.'" (Reported by Muslim,
2814). Al-Nawawi said in his commentary on Muslim (17/175): "'He has
submitted' ... he became abelieving Muslim. This is the apparent
meaning. Al-Qaadi said: Know that the ummah is agreed upon the fact
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was
protected from Shaytaan, physically and mentally, and with regard to
his speech. This hadeeth contains a reference to the warning against
the fitnah (temptation, trial) and whispers of the qareen (constant
companion from among the jinn). We know that he is with us sowe should
beware of him as much as possible."

Do Jinns Exist?

The Qur'aan and Sunnah indicate that the jinn exist, and that there is
a purpose for their existence in this life, which is to worship
AllaahAlone, with no partner or associate. Allaah says (interpretation
of the meanings):
"And I (Allaah) created notthe jinns and humans, except they should
worship Me (Alone)." [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56].
"O assembly of jinns and mankind! Did there not come to you Messengers
from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses...?" [al-An'aam 6:130]
The world of the jinn is anindependent and separateworld, with its own
distinct nature and features that are hidden from the world of humans.
Jinns and humans have some thingsin common, such as the possession of
understanding and the choice between the way of good and the way of
evil. The word jinn comes from an Arabic root meaning "hidden from
sight". Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"...Verily he [Shaytaan] and his qabeeluhu [his soldiers from the jinn
or his tribe] see you from where you cannot see them..." [al-A'raaf
7:27]
Allaah has told us in His Book the essence from which the jinn were
created. He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame o fire."
[al-Hijr 15:27]
"And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire."
[al-Rahmaan 55:15].
According to a hadeeth narrated by 'Aa'ishah, the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels were created from
light, the jinn were created from fire, and Aadam was created from
that which has been described to you." (Reported by Muslim, 5314).

Ruling on prisoners praying Jumu’ah when they are in their cells

Key word - {*Friday Prayers:-}
- - -

What is the ruling on prisoners praying Jumu'ahand praying in
congregation behind one imaam who stands in front of them, when they
are in their cells, via loudspeakers.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Committee of Senior Scholars issued a fatwa stating that they did
not agree with prisoners praying Jumu'ah or in congregation behind one
imaam in Jumu'ah or congregational prayers, and following him via
loudspeakers whilst they are in their prison cells, because they are
not obliged to pray Jumu'ah since they cannot go to the prayer, and
for other reasons.
But anyone who is able toattend Jumu'ah prayers inthe prison mosque –
if there is a mosque there – should pray it in congregation. Otherwise
aperson is not obliged to pray Jumu'ah and he should pray Zuhr
instead. The group in each cell should pray the five daily prayers in
congregation inside their cell if it is not possible for them to
gather in the mosque or in one place.
