What makes Jinn so dangerous is that they have their own culture and their own world. They are a species unto their own. They visit Earth, but they have their own realm. Ancient myths state the culture is not that far removed from the human culture of that time. It is just the Jinn are long lived compared to humans. The Jinn can live for hundreds of years. Also, the Jinn know magic.

The boiling water part is very very true. My aunt that’s lives in Kashmir, which is basically a valley (it’s said jinns are found more in hilly or valley areas) . One day, in the winter season she poured boiling hot water accidentally, right outside her house . That night, her daughter saw a dream where the jinn said “ you have hurt my child by throwing boiling water, now your mother will suffer”. The next day, my aunt slipped and fell down from the stairs, fracturing her leg. This is one amongst the multiple incidents me and my family have come across jinn

A friend of my father claimed that he had seen one of them. He's a farmer. He said that he saw a woman wearing Abaya walking out of a farm that is well known to be abandoned. He went to ask her what was she doing in there. However. When he came too close and greeted her in Arabic, she transformed into a black smoke and flew a few meters above the ground before vanishing mid-air.

I encountered Jinn a few times while deployed to Iraq in the military. I had no idea what I had encountered at the time. But, I learned about Jinn a few years ago, and it makes sense now.

What people don't understand is that Jinn exist everywhere, they are not just middle eastern 🤦. They simply go with different names or better say, called by the local population a different name. Every culture depicted the same entities. They are all Jinn . The word "Jinn" in arabic means the "hidden". The celtic myrhology, the Japanese mythology, norse mythology and the middle eastern one.. etc, they are all the same hidden creatures.

Had my fare share of encounters with them when i served in Afghanistan... people must understand that they aren't what we assume they are, and seeing them through naked eye or equipment isn't easily possible. It's mostly a psychological thing or a sudden feeling of eery dread around you with quick change in temperature. They rarely interact with us but when they do.... Oh Boy.... we might have modern medication and all but i remember a psychiatrist telling me.... not every schizophrenic has schizophrenia and those one are impossible to treat with antipsychotics.
Mankind in its modernity feels so full of ourselves that we believe we know everything.

If you work on your awareness, you may notice entities often disturb you while you sleep.

[Omit]

It's not just a myth, believing in Jinn is part of Islamic faith.

[silverkitty]

A Jinn who has chosen to be kind is to be admired .. it was tough for them... god gave angels no temptation .. the jinn have so much temptation .. it must be hard to be a jinn.

As an Appalachian I've always heard to never whistle in the dark else it will draw attention of the dead. It's awesome that it's a practice elsewhere too.😊

when my father was young there was a black magic "imam" in his village in Turkey. For you westerners he was a scholarly priest figure but in islam, however he turned to using forbidden black magic supposedly. Anyway my dad told me how my grandpa as a young man was tempted by this man to marry a djinni girl because she was lonely or smth. My grandpa was skeptical and curious so he agreed to meet first to see if its real and maybe worth it like the guy said. He also promised she can find him gold or whatever so he wouldn't need to work anymore.

Grandpa went to his house and met her there. However at first she wasn't visible to him and the dude told my grandpa to look into a bowl with water in it. In the reflection of the water she was visible sitting on the couch. (this part im not certain but either she appeared out of nowhere or she was already there but invisible to grandpa and kind of faded in or she walked out of the bowl when grandpa was told to look away or whatever.) i don't really remember exactly but either way my grandpa was scared af but also she was very very beautiful and grandpa was smitten. Then they sat down and talked but grandpa started feeling really weird about the whole situation because she kept changing. The dude said its normal and she will take any form she thinks grandpa likes the most or something? But the dude warned "something will always be off, they cant really copy physical forms perfectly". And only then my grandpa noticed that her feet were backwards like straight up flipped backwards as if you took them off, pointed both inwards so the toes point backwards and then stuck them back.

This really freaked my grandpa out and he decided it was time to leave, the lady apparently screamed or something so my grandpa grabbed the bowl of water and threw it at her (grandpa was a violent man NGL). He said that she charged him and "her face changed into that of his dog but rabid". So he picked up the little stool and the bowl and threw it at her. The second the water spilled it made her fade away i guess? Maybe it was her portal of coming into the human realms, theres another reason i believe this you can read it later.

Anyway. Later some young soldier apparently accepted the marriage with that girl and he was a healthy and strong young man but in the next 5 to 10 years he became frail and aged fast, he was younger than my grandpa but he somehow looked older faster. He stopped eating properly and stopped working. I guess the gold thing was true because he did somehow end up being able to constantly make his house bigger and buy cattle, which was luxury because cows were expensive, my grandpa herded sheep. This guy got the money out of nowhere it seems. Everyone kind of knew how he got the money but no one dared to say anything to him.

My grandpa begged the so called imam to break off their marriage because everyone saw how it was turning the soldier into a recluse and how he looked sicker and sicker as time went on. The guy said he couldn't since he would be in danger from the djinni girls family and even if he wanted to he doesn't know where her bowl is so he cant break the spell that brings her here. (the soldier had hidden it and threatened the fake imam that he will shoot him if he tries to scry for it and find it. My other grandpa from the neighboring village came over because he was friends with my grandpa. He had studied imamhatip, which is basically religious highschool. He wrote a muska (holy amulet with Quran verses etc. on tiny scrolls and put in a metal amulet) for my dads father to protect him because he said that the djinni lady might still hold a grudge towards him and make his life worse in small ways (this happened around the time my dad was already born and my grandpa was in his late 20s so around 10 years after he first met the djinni lady and the soldier married her.)

Around that time the soldier, now veteran, dude decided to leave the village and go live in the mountains, he didn't even sell his house he just straight up started packing and left. People found his corpse a few weeks later when they were letting their livestock graze there. I don't really believe 99 percent of these djinni stories but since this is my own grandparents and father who swear on their life and god that its real i believe them. They don't promise stuff like that willy nilly.

I personally believe she was kind of a succubus that took the form of the soldiers greatest desires and basically fucked him to death slowly draining his energy and then when he was depleted and she maybe felt repelled by my other grandpa's amulet, she forced the soldier into the mountains to die. They still gave him a propper burial but yeah. I asked grandma for more details but she didn't feel comfortable with it and pretended the soldier was just crazy. My dads mom was also from my other grandpa's village and i hate to say it but they were kind of related but that's how it was in Turkey back in the day. Like Alabama. Anyway she said she had on occasion seen the "djinni girl" but couldn't tell she was one, turns out the djinni girl was out in public at times and it made people doubt if she really was one but they still found it strange she didn't ever hang out with people or went out with her husband to the market, which is kind of a big no no for a young pretty woman back then to go far from home unaccompanied. Grandma said she never spoke or anything unless it was to buy food and then she wouldn't be seen for weeks. Even to the point where my moms dad would tell her to stay away from that lady because of all that happened but my grandma didn't really believe him.

When I was young i asked my moms dad for more details too because i was interested in Suleyman and his djinni servants and why he was allowed to do magic but we aren't. Then i asked about how the fake imam from dads village could do all that and my grandpa slapped me. He said that no one should ever know how to do that stuff and hes never telling me and he told me he'd beat the shit out of me if i asked anything about the story i just told you again. My youngest uncle tried to tell me more but my moms dad found out and he broke his cane on my uncles head. That's why i take this shit so seriously. If you want the story to be hidden so bad that you, even in old age, get so angry you break your solid wood cane over your sons head it must have been real and must have had a serious impact on him.

[MuhammadTanveer-gwpt]

Firstly to block an evil jinn the most powerful act is ro recite " Ayatul Kursi ", the greatest verse of Quran (255th verse) . No matter how powerful the jinn is it cannot stay close if that verse is recited.

2nd step: Recite surah Ikhlas, surah Falaq and surah Nas one at a time then blow to your hands and massage whole body from head to toe.Repeat this three times in morning and evening .This is the proper way to block evil eye and black magic.

3rd step, recite surah Kafirun and last two verses of surah Baqarah.This is sufficient. Also try to stay in udhu.

But to make it work you must be a practicing muslim, without 5 times of prayers daily it will have no effect. The main reason for this is faith in Allah's Ajjawajal which strengthens the effect.

[abdullahfaraj]

Also Jin are not just in the Middle East, they are all over the world, in fact, every single human being when they are born they are assigned a “kareen” which is the Jin that will stay with you until you die, they are the ones who know almost everything about you and that’s why for example if you go to a fortune teller(never ever go to a fortune teller) they will do a ritual and get in contact with the Jin and make a deal with them (Jin’s only goal is to take us to hell so he will have the fortune teller worship him instead of god in order to get some unseen knowledge) and that Jin will get in touch with your kareen and he will tell him a few lies and he’ll throw in a truth in their and then that’s what the fortune teller will tell you, so whenever you see oh what he said was true then you will believe in the fortune teller and that is shirk, the only unforgivable sin is to believe In something other than God, but as long as you are alive everything is forgivable if you repent

This is where the "Genie in a bottle" comes from.

[azzamalhanif]

What most people dont understand is, good jin are not the one that help and work with human but jin that stay away from us

It is literally heresy to work with them

[Brent-zs]

A month before my dad had his heart attack i saw the spirit of a woman dressed in black wearing a veil standing next to his bedroom. I told it to leave and it disappeared. A month later my dad was driving on the interstate and had a heart attack and wrecked with an 18 wheeler.

[yousafamin]

2 things i want to make clear as a Muslim.

While we prostrate with our heads on yhe floor, we do not rest our elbolws on the floor.

Amulets. Totally forbidden in islam & can have an adverse affect or no affect at all by wearing it. We as muslims have no need in such object but rather place our trust in ALLAH & his spoken word ( Quran )

Alhamdulillah for islam ☝🏽

[IamOui-vz]

" And they( Jewish) followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah" Alabaqara 102 .

[BasedDocumentarian]

Jinns undoubtedly exists. They are much like you and me and should be treated with respect and left alone unless they reach out to you in particular.
