Jinn, witchcraft ,,evil eye -, Is it possible for the jinn to kidnap a human being?.

[Manaar al-Sabeel, 2/88. The story of the kidnapped man was reported

Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen]
-
I have heard many stories about the jinn kidnapping human beings. I
read a story which said that a man ofthe Ansaar (may Allaah be pleased
with him) went out to pray 'Ishaa' and the jinn took him prisoner and
he was lost for years. Is this possible – I mean that the jinn could
kidnap a human being?
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to the question of possibility, itis possible, but it is
very rare. Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him)
answered this question as follows:
That is possible. It is well known that Sa'd ibn 'Ubaadah was killed
by the jinn when he urinated in a hole in which was their dwelling
place, and they said, "We have killed theleader of Khazraj Sa'd ibn
'Ubaadah; we struck him with an arrow and we did not miss his heart."
At the time of 'Umar, a man was kidnapped by the jinn and stayed with
them for four years, thenhe came back and told the people that some
mushrik jinn had kidnapped him, and he stayed with them as a prisoner,
then some Muslim jinn launched a campaign against them and defeated
them, and brought him back to his family. This was mentioned in Manaar
al-Sabeel and elsewhere.
(See Manaar al-Sabeel, 2/88. The story of the kidnapped man was
reported by al-Bayhaqi (7/445-446) and its isnaad was classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Irwaa', 6/150, no. 1709).

Jinn, witchcraft ,,evil eye -, How to deal with sihr (magic/witchcraft) .

What is the way to deal with sihr (magic/witchcraft)?
Praise be to Allaah.
Whoever is affected by sihr should not treat it with sihr, because
evil cannot be removed by evil, and kufr cannot be removed by kufr.
Evil is removed by good. Hencewhen the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) wasasked about al-nushrah (treating sihr with
sihr), he said: "This is the workof the Shaytaan." Nushrah means
removing sihr from a person who has been affected by it by using more
sihr. But if it is treated by means of the Qur'aan and permissible
medicines or good ruqyahs, there is nothing wrong with that, but
treating it with sihr is not permitted, as previously stated, because
sihr means worshipping the shayaateen (devils). The saahir (magician,
practitioner of witchcraft) does sihr or learns sihr only after
worshipping and serving the shayaateen, and drawing close to them by
means of the things that they like. After that, they teach him the
means of sihr. But, praise be to Allaah, there is no reason why the
person who has been affected by sihr should not be treated bymeans of
reciting Qur'aan and the prayers for refuge with Allaah that are
prescribed in sharee'ah, and permissible medicines, just as patients
with all kinds of sicknesses are treated by doctors. The patient does
not necessarily recover, because not every sick person does recover. A
sick patient might be treated and then recoverif his appointed time
(of death) has not yet arrived, or he may not recover and may die from
this sickness, even though he may be been seen by the most skilled
physicians and knowledgeable doctors. When the appointed time of death
comes, no medicine or treatment will be of any avail, because Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And Allaah grants respite to none when hisappointed time (death) comes"
[al-Munaafiqoon 63:11]
Medical treatment is of benefit when the appointed time has not yet
come, and Allaah decrees that His slave should be healed. The same
applies in the case of one who has been affected by sihr; Allaah may
decree that he should recover, or He may not decree that, as atest and
a trial, or for other reasons which are known to Allaah. Among those
reasons may be the fact that the one who is treating him doesnot have
the right treatment for this problem. It was narratedin a saheeh
report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "For every disease there is a medicine, and if that medicine is
applied to the disease, he will recover by Allaah's Leave." And he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah has not sent
down any disease but Hehas also sent down the cure; the one who knows
it knows it and the one who does not know it does not know it."
Among the treatments prescribed in sharee'ah is the treatment of sihr
with recitation of the Qur'aan. The greatest soorah in the Qur'aan,
which is al-Faatihah, should be recited over the person who has been
affected by sihr. This should be repeated several times. If it is
recited by a believing, righteous reader who knows that everything
issubject to the will and decree of Allaah, that Allaah is in control
of all things, that when He says to a thing 'Be!' it is, if the
reciting is based on faith, taqwa and sincerity, and is repeated
several times, then the sihr may be removed and the personmay recover
by Allaah's Leave. Some of the Sahaabah (may Allaah bepleased with
them) passed by some Bedouins whose shaykh,i.e., their leader, had
been bitten. They had done everything they could but he had not gotten
better. They said to one of the Sahaabah, "Is there any raaqi (one who
performs ruqyah) among you?" They said, "Yes." So one of them recited
Soorat al-Faatihah over him, and he immediately got up full of energy
as if nothing had happened; Allaah healed him of the ill-effects of
that snakebite. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "There is nothing wrong with ruqyah so long as it does not
involve shirk." He (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him)
performedruqyah and had it performed for him. There is a lot of good
in ruqyah, and a great dealof benefit. Al-Faatihah, Aayat al-Kursiy,
"Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad", al-Mi'wadhatayn and other aayahs may be
recited over the person who has been affected by sihr, as well as good
du'aa's narrated in the ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), such as the du'aa' he said when he
performed ruqyah for a sick person and said, "Allaahumma Rabb al-naas,
adhhib il-ba's, washfi anta al-Shaafi laashifaa'a illa shifaa'uka
shifaa'an laa yughaadir saqaman (O Allaah, Lord of mankind, remove the
harm and heal him, for You are the Healer and there is no healing
except Your healing, with a healing which does not leave any disease
behind)." This may be repeated three times or more. And it was also
narrated from him (peace and blessingsof Allaah be upon him) that
Jibreel (peace be upon him) performed ruqyah for him and said three
times: "Bismillaah arqeeka min kulli shay'inyu'dheeka, wa min sharri
kulli nafsin aw 'aynin haasid Allaah yashfeek, bismillaah arqeek (In
the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you, from every thing that is
harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye may Allaah
heal you, in the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you)." This is a
great ruqyah which was narrated in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is prescribed to
perform ruqyah for the one who has been bitten or stung,and the one
who has been affected by sihr, and the one who is sick. There is
nothing wrong with performing ruqyah for one who is sick or has been
affected by sihror bitten or stung, by reciting good du'aa's, even if
they were not transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), so long as they do not contain anything that is
haraam, because of the general meaning of the hadeeth of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "There is nothing wrong
with ruqyah so long as it doesnot involve shirk."
Allaah may heal the sick person and the person affected by sihr, and
others, without any ruqyah and without any action on the part of other
people, because He is Able to do all things, and He is Wise in all
that He does. Allaah says in His Holy Book:
"Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing,is only that He says to
it, 'Be!' and it is!"[Yaa-Seen 36:82]
To Him be praise and thanks for all that He wills and decrees, for He
is wise in all that He does.
The sick person may not be healed if his appointed time has come and
it is decreed that he should die from this disease. Among the things
that may be used in ruqyah are the verses which speak of sihr, which
may be recited into water. These are theverses about sihr in Soorat
al-A'raaf, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And We revealed to Moosa (saying): 'Throw your stick,' and behold! It
swallowed up straight away all the falsehood which they showed.
Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of noeffect.
So they were defeated there and returned disgraced
[al-A'raaf 7:117-119]
And in Soorat Yoonus (interpretation of the meaning):
"And Pharaoh said: 'Bring me every well-versed sorcerer.'
And when the sorcerers came, Moosa said to them: 'Cast down what you
want to cast!'
Then when they had castdown, Moosa said: 'Whatyou have brought is
sorcery, Allaah will surelymake it of no effect. Verily, Allaah does
not set right the work of Al-Mufsidoon.
And Allaah will establish and make apparent the truth by His Words,
however much the Mujrimoon may hate (it).'"
[Yoonus 10:79-82]
And in Soorat Ta-Ha (interpretation of the meaning):
"They said: 'O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?'
Moosa said: 'Nay, throw you (first)!' Then behold!their ropes and
their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved
fast.
So Moosa conceived fearin himself.
We (Allaah) said: 'Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.
And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that
which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician's
trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount
(of skill) he may attain.'"
[Ta-Ha 20:65-69]
These aayahs are amongthe things by which Allaah causes the
ruqyahagainst sihr to be beneficial. If the qaari' (reader) recites
these verses into water, and also reads Soorat al-Faatiha, Aayat
al-Kursiy, "Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad", and al-Mi'wadhatayn into the
water, then pours it over the person who he thinks has been affected
by sihr or is being prevented by magic from having intercourse with
his wife, then he will be healed by Allaah'sLeave. If seven lotus
leaves are ground up and added to the water as well, this is
appropriate, as was mentioned by Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Hasan (may
Allaah have mercy on him) in Fath al-Majeed, quoting from some of the
scholars in the chapter entitled Ma jaa'a fi'l-Nushrah. It is
mustahabb to recite the three soorahs, namely Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad,
Qul A'oodhu bi Rabb il Falaq and Qul A'oodhu biRabb il-Naas. The point
isthat these and similar treatments which are used to treat this
problem of sihr, may also be used to treat the one who is prevented
bymagic from having intercourse with his wife. This has been tried a
great deal and Allaah caused it to yield results. A person may be
treated with al-Faatihah alone and be healed, or with Qul Huwa Allaahu
Ahad and al-Mi'wadhatayn on their own, and be healed. It is very
important that the person performing this treatment and the person who
is being treated should both have sincere faith and trust in Allaah;
they should know that He is control of all things and that when He
wills a thing it happens, and when He does not will a thing it does
not happen. The matter is in His hand, whatever He wills happens and
whatever He does not will does not happen. When both the reader and
the one who is read over have faith and are sincere towards Allaah,
the sickness will disappear quickly by Allaah's Leave, and both
physical and spiritual medicine will be beneficial. We ask Allaahto
help us all to please Him, for He is All-Hearingand is ever Near.

Jinn, witchcraft ,,evil eye -, It is possible for witchcraft to come between a man and his wife?.

I am asking whether it istrue that some one makes what we call (Hojob)
in Arabic to make other peole fail in their lifes.
I dont know if you understand what I meanor not. I will give you an
example, I was told that some people dont like others, so what they
do,they go to specializedpeople and ask them to do something by the
help of the (Jin) or whatever and make the life of that person
misery,like makes him fail in his life or ....... I dont know whether
this is available truley or not.
please give me an answer
Praise be to Allaah.
The correct view according to the majority of Ahl al-Sunnah is that
witchcraft or magic is real and that it can have an effect – if Allaah
wills and decrees it – on the body of the one against whom it is
directed, and it could even kill him.
Imaam al-Quraafi said: "Witchcraft is real and the person against whom
it is directed could die, or his mood and habits could be changed…
This was also the view of al-Shaafa'i and Ibn Hanbal…" (al-Furooq,
4/149)
The Mu'tazilah and Qadariyyah did not agree with this… but that is of
no significance.Al-Quraafi and others mentioned that the Sahaabah
agreed that it (witchcraft) is real, before there emerged anybody who
denied this.
Among the evidence of Ahl al-Sunnah is:
The aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
"but the Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic andsuch
things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Haaroot and
Maaroot, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things)
till they had said,"We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning
this magic fromus)." And from these (angels) people learn that by
which they causeseparation between man and his wife, but they could
not thus harmanyone except by Allaah's Leave. And they learn that
which harms them and profits them not." [al-Baqarah 2:102]
This aayah clearly indicates what is being asked about here, whichis
that witchcraft is real and that the practitionerof witchcraft can
cause separation between a man and his wife and that he can cause harm
to people by his witchcraft – if that is decreed by the universalwill
of Allaah.
The aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
"And from the evil of thewitchrafts when they blow in the knots"
[al-Falaq 113:4]
'the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots' refers to witches or
female practitioners of witchcraft who tie knots as part of their
magic and blow on them. If witchcraft were not real,Allaah would not
have commanded us to seek refuge from it.
Further proof is to be seen in the fact that witchcraft was directed
against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by the
Jew Labeed ibn al-A'sam. This is a saheehhadeeth which was narrated by
al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
Further evidence is to beseen in the real-life experiences of many
people, which cannot beoverlooked.
Ibn al-Qayyim said: the witchcraft which causes people to be sick or
to feel depressed, or which makes them love or hate, exists and is
well known to all people. Many people have experienced what it can do
to them." (al-Tafseer al-Qayyim, p. 571).
Ibn Qudaamah said: "It iswell known among people that a man can be
separated from his wife (by witchcraft) when he gets married, so that
he is unable to have intercourse with her, but when the spell is
lifted, then he is able to have intercourse withher. This is so
commonly known that it cannot be denied. There are so many reports of
witchcraft that it is inconceivable that so many people would agree on
a lie." (al-Mughni, 8/151)
There are many ways of protecting oneself against witchcraft:
The best way is to fear Allaah, obey His commands, put one's trust in
Him, seek refuge with Allaah, and start each morning by eating seven
dates. All of these were narrated in saheehahaadeeth.
There are many ways of removing the effects of witchcraft, including:
Ruqyah [prayers, supplications], the best of which is
supplicationsfrom the Qur'aan, then du'aa's narrated in saheeh
haadeeth.
Finding the objects used for witchcraft purposes and doing something
to neutralize them.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the Sunnah for
treating this sickness – two kinds were transmitted from him:
One of them – which is the best – is to locate and neutralize the
object, as it was reported in a saheeh hadeeth that he (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked his Lord about that, and He
directed him to a well where he found a comb, some hairs that had
fallen when he combed his hair ….…. When he removed these things from
the well, he felt better, as if he had recovered from an illness. This
is this is the best way of dealing withthis problem, and is like
removing something bad from the body by expelling it.
Cupping, induced vomiting and surgery.
Ibn al-Qayyim said – continuing what he said in the words quoted
above: "The second kind is by physically removingthe place affected by
thewitchcraft, because witchcraft has an effect on human nature and
the bodily humours, and can affect moods. If its effects are noted in
any part if the body and it is possible to remove the bad material,
this will bevery beneficial." (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 4/124, 125).
And Allaah knows best.

Biography -, The story of Prophet Nooh -III

Prophet Nooh (Noah) chose a place outside thecity, far from the sea.
He collected wood and tools and began working day and night to build
the ark. The people's mockery continued: "O Nooh! Does carpentry
appeal to you more than prophethood? Why are you building an ark so
far from the sea? Are you going to drag it to the water or is the wind
going to carry it for you?" Nooh replied:"You will come to know who
will be put to shameand suffer."
Allaah, the Almighty, Says (what means): "And He [Nooh] constructed
the ship, and whenever an assembly of the people passed by him, they
ridiculed him. He said: 'If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you
just as you ridicule. And you are going to know who will get
apunishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will
descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter].'" [Quran: 11:38-39]
The ship was constructed,and Nooh sat, awaiting Allaah's command.
Allaah revealed to him that when water miraculouslygushed forth from
the oven at Nooh's house, that would be the sign ofthe start of the
flood, andthe sign for Nooh to act.
The Flood
The terrible day arrived when the oven at Nooh's house, overflowed.
Nooh hurried to open the ark and summon the believers. He also took
with him a pair, male andfemale, of every type of animal, bird and
insect. Seeing him taking these creatures to the ark, the people
laughed loudly:"Nooh must have gone out of his head! What is he going
to do with the animals?" Almighty Allaahnarrates in the Quran (what
means): "[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven
overflowed, We said: 'Load upon it [i.e., the Ark] of each [creature]
two mates andyour family, except those about whom the word [i.e.,
decree] has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed.' But none
had believed with him, except a few." [Quran: 11:40]
Nooh's wife was not a believer, so she did not join him; neither did
one of Nooh's sons, who was secretly a disbeliever but had feigned
faith in frontof Nooh . Likewise most of the people were disbelievers
and therefore did not go on board.
A Description of the Flood
Water rose from the cracks in the earth; there was not a crack from
which water did not rise. Rain poured from the skyin quantities never
seen before on earth. Water continued pouring from the sky and rising
from the cracks; hour after hour the level rose. The high waves
flooded the land. The interior of the earth moved in a strange way,
and the ocean floors lifted suddenly, flooding the dry land. The
earth, for the first time was submerged.
The Quran records this story in these verses (which mean): "And [Nooh]
said: 'Embark therein; in the Name of Allaah is its course and its
anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.' And it sailed
with them through waves like mountains, and Nooh called to his son who
was apart [from them]: 'O my son! Come aboard with us and be not with
the disbelievers.' [But] he said: 'I will take refuge on a mountain to
protect me from the water.' [Nooh] said: 'There is no protector today
from the decree of Allaah, except for whom He gives mercy.' And the
waves came between them, and he was among the drowned." [Quran:
11:41-43]
The Flood Ends
Allaah Almighty Says in the Quran (what means): "And it was said: 'O
Earth! Swallow up your water, and O sky! Withhold your rain.' And the
water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and it [i.e., the
ship] came to rest on the [mountain of] Joodiyy. And it wassaid: 'Away
with the wrongdoing people'. And Nooh called to his Lord and said: 'My
Lord! Indeed my son is of my family; and indeed, Your promise is true;
and You are the most just of judges!' He [Allaah] said: 'O Nooh!
Indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was
other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no
knowledge. Indeed, I advise you, lest you be among the ignorant.'
[Nooh] said: 'My Lord! I seek refuge in You from asking that of which
I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have Mercy upon me,
I will be among the losers.' Itwas said: 'O Nooh! Disembark in
security from Us and blessings upon you and upon nations [descending]
from those with you. But other nations [of them] We will grant
enjoyment; then there will touch them from Us a painful punishment.'"
[Quran: 11:44-48]
With the issue of the divine command, calm returned to the earth,
thewater retreated, and the dry land shone once again in the rays of
the sun. The flood had cleansed the earth of the disbelievers and
polytheists.
Nooh released the birds and the beasts which scattered over the earth.
After that, the believers disembarked. Nooh put his forehead to the
ground in prostration. The survivors kindled a fire and sat around it.
Lighting a fire had been prohibited on board so as not to ignite the
ship's wood and burn it up. None of them had eaten hot food during the
entire period of the flood. Following the disembarkation, there was a
day of fasting in thanks to Allaah.
Nooh's Death
The Quran draws the curtain on the story of Nooh . We do not know how
his affairs with his people continued. All we know or can ascertain is
that on his deathbed he requested his son to worship Allaah alone, and
then passed away.
'Abdullaah Ibn 'Amr Ibn Al-'Aas narrated that the Prophet said: "When
the death of the Messenger of Allaah Nooh approached, he admonished
his sons: 'Indeed I give you far-reaching advice, commanding you to do
two things, and warning you against two others: I beseech you to
believe that there is no deity except Allaah, and that if the seven
heavens and the seven earths were put on one side of a scale and the
words 'There is no deity but Allaah' were put on the other, the latter
would outweigh the former. I warn you against associating partners
with Allaah in worship and against pride.'" [Al-Bukhaari]
