1. The World of the Jinn Ways in which the Jinn attack Muslims

2. Number one way is through dreams Satan has the ability to bring dreams to the human while he is sleeping as a means of distressing him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) has stated that dreams in sleep are of three types: ● from Allah, ● of anguish from Satan, ● and from the person himself.. ● In Sahih al-Bukhari, it is recorded that the Prophet said: ● "If one of you sees a dream that he likes, it is from Allah. He should praise Allah for it and he should relate it to others. If he sees what he dislikes, it is from Satan. He should seek refuge in Allah from it and not mention it to anyone. Thereby, it will not harm him.."

3. The Jinn may even burn down your house: ● Satan may use animals that he spurs on for this purpose. Abu Dawud has recorded in his and ibn Hibbaan in his Sahih, with a sahih chain, that the Prophet said: "When you sleep at night, extinguish your lamps for Satan guides like this (mouse) to one like this (lamp) and they burn your place down..

4. Even at death the Jinn attacks ● The Prophet used to seek refuge in Allah from that. He used to say, ● "Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from death through falling. I seek refuge in You from my house falling on me. I seek refuge in You from falling into a ditch, drowning, burning and decrepitude. I seek refuge in You from the devil harming me at the time of my death.. I seek refuge in You from dying while fleeing from the enemy. I seek refuge in You from dying from a poisonous sting..."

5. The Jinn do not wait till death to attack.. they begin their attack against the believer at his birth! ● The Prophet said, ● "Every child of Adam is touched by Satan on the day that his mother gives birth to him except Mary and her son.." - Muslim ● And in Sahih al-Bukhari it is recorded that, ● "When any human is born, Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except in the case of Jesus, the son of Mary. Satan tried to do so but failed and touched the placenta instead.."

6. Another hadith in Bukhari states: ● "There is no one born among the offspring of Adam except that Satantouches it. The child cries loudly at birth, therefore, from the touch of Satan. except Mary and her child.. ● The reason that Mary and her child were exempted from such an action was the supplication that the mother of Mary made, ● "[My Lord, I have vowed to You that which is in my womb and its (offspring)...] and lo! I crave Your protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast. ● Since she was sincere in her request, Allah answered that supplication and protected Mary and her son from Satan.

7. The Jinn also attack using Plague! ● The Prophet stated, ● "The end of this nation would come through calumnies and plague. These are the pierces from the enemy of the humans of the jinn. And whoever dies due to this infliction has attained martyrdom... ● In al-Mustadrak of al-Haakim it is recorded that the Prophet said, ● "Plague is the piercing of your enemies from among the jinn. And for you it is martyrdom.. ● What occurred to the Prophet Job was from the jinn, as it states in the Quran, ● "And make mention of Our bondsman Job, when he cried unto his Lord (saying): Lo! the devil does afflict (lit., touch) me with distress and torment. (Saad 4 1).

8. Non-stop menses in women can occur from the Jinn ● The Prophet said, concerning the prolonged flow of blood that occurs to some women, ● “It is but a kick from the kicks of Satan..."

9. The Jinn also attack through our food! ● One of the ways by which Satan harms humans is by sharing in their food, drink and lodging. This occurs if the human contradicts the guidance of Allah or if he is unmindful of Him. ● If he sticks to the guidance of Allah or is constant in His remembrance, Satan would not have any path to his wealth or housing. ● It is not allowed for Satan to take any food unless it is offered. to him by someone who has neglected to mention the name of Allah over it. ● If it has had the name of Allah mentioned over it, it is forbidden for Satan.

10. The prophet was once eating and a young girl and bedoin attempted to grab some food. The prophet stopped them and said: ● "Satan is permitted that food which has not had the name of Allah pronounced over it. He brought this girl in order for the food to be lawful for him. And he brought this bedouin in order for the food to be lawful for him. So I caught their hands. By the One in whose Hand is my soul, his [Satan.s] hand is in my hand along with theirs..

11. The Prophet ordered us to protect our homes and all that is dear to us in them from Satan by closing doors, covering vessels and mentioning the name of Allah upon them. ● The Prophet said, "Close the doors and make mention of Allah. For Satan does not open a closed door. ● And tighten the mouths of the waterskins and mention the name of Allah. ● Cover your utensils and mention the name of Allah even though you may only put something over them. ● And extinguish your lamps.. (Recorded by Muslim.)

12. The Jinn lie constantly in wait looking for a means to enter our homes and cause havoc upon those of us weak in faith or sin. So the Prophet taught us how to protect ourselves and families from this: ● He said, "If a man enters his house and mentions the name of Allah upon entering and upon eating, Satan says, "There is no lodging or food for us here.. If he enters without mentioning the name of Allah, Satan says, "I have found lodging for you.. And if he does not mention Allah upon eating, Satan says, have found lodging and food for you.. ● [Recorded b y Muslim.]
