Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum
Many people have seen Jinn, especially those involved in the occult since you can’t be any good at it unless they open their ways for you, another group intimate with Jinn, Jinn who are Muimin, are the Awliya and sufi shaykhs, they help open man’s perception to the spiritual world they naturally live in and guide them to the Angels who’s existence in this world is much more subtle to detect.
If you have any kind of ego you can’t see Angels it is impossible, you have to annihilate the self (ego) until “YOU” and “I” no longer exist in your vocabulary, at that point you stop attributing anything you have done in life to yourself and after that you see that it was in fact the Angels who gave you every good in your life and every thought that benefited you, all along it was them speaking to you.
Most people do something to show their labours to others, this is their self on display for others to notice so they can take credit for their work.
Because Angels are selfless they don’t take credit for any of their work so how can you sense the presence of a self that has no self to be sensed, you have to get rid of your own nafs (self) to stop the thing that is causing so much noise in your heart, then you can see them.
After your ego is annihilated and there is no chance of it coming back, you begin to sense the many Angels in your life, you begin to see where you end and they begin what comes from you and what comes from them, at that point they can talk to you more openly and directly.
“For (every person) are angels ranged before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah’s command (Jinn constantly try things against man, and the evil of mens actions hit or miss you in the spiritual world long before anything occurs in life). Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts; and if Allah willeth misfortune for a folk there is none that can repel it, nor have they a defender beside Him.”(13:11)
All good in our life comes from Allah (and his angels) and all evil from us, just as some thoughts are more powerful than others and some more worthwhile than others, Angels are the power behind each of your thoughts and the Jinn’s thoughts, that is the best description one can give for what they do.
If you reach this point along the way you will have seen the world of Jinn long before this, you will have experienced them seen their short comings in comparison to man, and seen in your self where you end and they begin.
This is the story of one of my experiences with the Jinn of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) i had many years ago whilst on Hajj.
I was raised primarily alongside Christians and salafi’s, they were the people I was surrounded with in my youth through no effort of my own, over the years I watched this group destroy every Muslim I grew up with as they “got a hold of them” one after the other, may Allah curse them, and so before I witnessed their evil for myself first hand, which they try to force you to stay silent about it and it’s occult nature, I made the mistake of going on hajj with a mixed group that was dominated by them, (people should understand, all secrets loose their power over you when you talk about them, since then we have learnt many things that destroy their evil and frees the self from it).
Inevitably they caused trouble for me on many occasions during the hajj and tried their best to invalidate it, what was more amazing than witnessing their evil and people actually trying hard to cause you to loose your Hajj, was witnessing how Allah repeatedly saved me from them, as many times as they tried i saw something from Allah, some things more significant than others.
It’s no small thing to save enough money to go on Hajj and we worked for a long time for this journey, they set themselves up against us and Allah set Himself against them.
Two events that stand out are what occurred during muzdalifa and the stoning of the devil, called Rami al-Jamarat like our name, after this event we used to say over the years, especially to salafi’s who attacked us for no real reason, that Allah made stoning the devil my nature. The other event was when i visited the grave of the prophet (saws) to say my salam.
The group we went with didn’t organise for us to take the 21 stones for the stoning from the usual place because of overcrowding so we ended up in a place prepared by the government, the salafi’s of the group who did collect the stones from the proper place began to make fun that our Hajj would be invalidated and they sent someone to debate the matter with me, not that we showed interest but probably to try and drive the point home.
This was the first of the troubles they caused for us here, they also insinuated our location was chosen on purpose by the group because of this fact. After the person they sent made his points, somehow an obscure article of fiqh on this isolated issue that i read once maybe 6 years earlier came to my heart, and i quoted it’s fiqh points almost word for word to him, this wasn’t because i had an excellent memory but i could sense i was being spoken to and made to repeat the words (this is the work of the Angels).
He pretended he wasn’t convinced until someone else in the group who knew the rulings stated this was the same fiqh the Saudi government used to establish the place, so He stayed silent after that.
At a later date when it came time to go to the area where the stoning occurs, they sent two couples i had briefly befriended to make me lose my way, we were meant to catch a bus together to get there but somehow we caught the wrong bus and ended up in a different place, by the time we left the bus we were lost so we walked back for 4 or more hours before we finally ended up at the pillars (somehow buses where only going in one direction), but by the time we arrived it was night fall.
Those who know Hajj know the stoning occurs at set times during the day and only women and the elderly and those with an excuse can do it at night, which I had because of what occurred on their account but they hadn’t surmised that yet when they finally decided to show their true faces and persisted in their ways.
While we were standing in front of the pillar they began to make fun that i had invalidated my Hajj because it was night and that the stones i was using where not from the right place, then they began to insinuate that they switched the stones i had gathered myself with those from another area.
The stones for the stoning must be collected by the person himself and they must all be thrown by that person for it to be a valid ritual.
What they forgot was the intension behind the act, to stone your devil, and this is what saved me from their evil and kept my Hajj valid.
All of this was a lot to take after such a journey and long walk, during which we kept reminding our self of the reward Allah grants to people who walk to the masjid for their prayers, so we kept our sabr, prayed to Allah and took a stone that wasn’t at the top of the pile and threw it at the pillar.
Just before the stone Hit the pillar we saw the shaytan Allah had appointed to be our enemy in life standing there (every human is appointed a jinn by Allah and I recognised mine from dreams I had seen him in), the stone hit him in the eye and it exploded making a sound, he then ran off holding his eye and crying.
That is when i saw the people i was with practiced sihr, they also saw the Jinn and what happened to him with my first throw, and began asking each other if they also saw it, after that they stayed silent and deflated.
After all of their troubles trying to invalidate my Hajj Allah allowed me to stone my devil with the first throw while they watched, Allah is the one who accepts and rejects the Hajj of a person not the fiqh rulings around it. Islamic fiqh states all 21 stones must be thrown for the ritual to be valid, which i did, but i knew Allah accepted it from the first throw and the others were not necessary.
Fiqh ensures you do the right thing it doesn’t tell what is occurring in ghayb (the unseen world).
Eventually we made our way to madinah al munawara to see the prophet (saws), we hadn’t realised before this journey that we were practically the last person in our home community they hadn’t “gotten to” or “indoctrinated” into their cult, and so they sought to use us in other ways during Hajj which also failed, but that is another story.
Before sending my salam directly I visited the Masjid of the prophet (saws) and sat near the Rawdah, an area near the prophets grave that He (saws) said Allah had made it part of Jannah, and who ever prays there prays in Jannah.
I sat there for some time praying, thinking about my troubles and contemplating the pressure i was under by entire groups of people who where calling each other against us “like people invite one another to a meal”, but Allah made us to withstand such preasure and we did for which he granted us a station with Him (but that is also a story for another time).
While in that state of worry we saw a large Muslim Jinn, to this day He (ra) is the largest Jinn we have ever seen and unlike any of the others, He came out of the prophets (saws) chamber and covered most of the ceiling in front of the door where we say salam, He (ra) looked at me smiling until i could see his large eyes and white teeth clearly. He let me know He was the Jinn of the prophet (saws) and placed in my heart the conversation He just had with the prophet (saws), i heard some of its words and His voice (saws) but couldn’t make out much, this was to establish who He was.
He said to me “Soon you will be with them” and He indicated to me a group of Indian Muslims standing near the door of the prophet (saws) sending their salam, it was a blessed place to be which was was dedicated to Muslims who send much salam, mostly Muslims from the Indian sub-continent stand there and hardly any arabs (i am conveying the blessed nature of the people that stand there as it was shown to me by the prophets (saws) Jinn), and usually they are made fun of by the Arabs which we witnessed from our group and their shaykh (may Allah curse them like i have seen Him curse their group over the years).
This area was dedicated to standing still and sending your salam at length, not just simply walking past in haste, if the fard prayer is done in haste the angels role it up and throw it in the persons face when he is finished.
At the time, I didn’t understand why this was significant to me and how it would solve my problems, we already made the intension to send many prayers on the prophet (saws), but we sensed Allah was giving us something.
Sometime later at night, just before we went to see the prophet to send our salam, one of the salafi’s came to us and said that one of the two shaykhs would be visiting the prophet (saws) at night and we should go with him, later we saw them make fun of people who send their salam at length, in hind sight if we knew salafi’s are people who have left Islam through their evil and just use the group as a guise to hide themselves in the community, it would have made many things easier.
The shaykh we were with was well known in my area, young and popular with the youth, if we mentioned his name most people would know Him, but it was Him who Allah decided to humiliate because of the lies he was charged with teaching to the youth (may Allah curse Him, we have seen more than this from him but that is for another day in front of Allah).
Just before we went He gave a speech about people who stand in front of the prophets grave and send their salam at length, then He warned any of his group who would do this that they shouldn’t, there would be consequences and everyone should follow him and stay closely behind Him, he would be walking directly through the area saying his salam and not stopping.
Since everyone was already “with” Him, when He looked at me and said this, it became apparent this was all set up for my sake to interfere with my journey.
We went into the prophets (saws) masjid and began walking to the prophets door, about half way through we decided not to follow what he said, we made the intension to send as many salam as we could earlier and He wasn’t going to stop us, but we didn’t know what to do since He was rushing the entire group and I would be seen by everyone, probably part of his intension so they could use it as an excuse later on (which they did).
As we neared the door i wasn’t certain how i was going to send my complete salam, but suddenly i felt something from ghayb grab and move me into a spot next to were the Indian Muslims the prophets (saws) Jinn (ra) had indicated earlier stand, I was an Arab standing next to a large group of muslims from the indian sub continent and i stood out, but it was the exact spot the prophets Jinn showed me, and now i stood in it relieved i could take my time and not only send my salam but the salam of every person who entrusted me with saying salam to the prophet (saws).
I stood there for a long time and after finishing i saw how short my words where in comparison to the Muslims next to me, so i began to say what I heard them say and ended up staying there until my heart was at peace that i had spent enough time in front of the prophet (saws), and He (saws) could know me properly, which was the intension i had behind extending my stay in front of Him (saws).
Allah had humiliated that fake shaykh who just kept walking, by working against him and showing me how evil he was when he wasn’t in the public eye.
I have had many encounters with Jinn since then over the years (my first was as a child), most have been evil, misguided or lost and uneducated by our standards and Allah gradually taught us how to deal with them all, but some have been good and these are mainly the Muslim Jinn you will find with real Sufi tariqah’s.
In an ocean of darkness that covers the world today they have preserved our traditional ways and you will be blessed if they show you anything of what they have learnt from the great awliyah of that tariqa, and used to practice with them.
The following is an account of the most significant thing that occurred to me on my Hajj journey with this group.
As we wrote earlier the salafi’s we travelled with had taken us as a target and tried to invalidate our Hajj on a number of occasions, and as we suspected our trip with that shaykh to send salam on the prophet (saws) was set up as an excuse for them to cause trouble for us later on now that they had seen me ignore his words and stand with the muslims to send salam.
By this point of the trip they had sent one of their devils to befriend my father who i traveled with, in order to get to me and he had been antagonising me through the trip.
A day or so after my trip with that shaykh i decided to visit the prophet (saws) again, our group stayed in Saudi Arabia for 30 days one of the only groups to do so every year and this year would be the last time they did that, it was one of the reasons i went with them, so we got to see the holy sites outside of peak traffic times and it was on one of these fortunate days that i decided to visit the prophet (saws) again.
Last time I visited I made the intension to extend my salam on the prophet (saws) to give Him time to see and know me, it was the first time standing in front of him and this was my intension, on this second occasion Allah rewarded my intension and turned it against the devils.
I walked in there with a small informal group from amongst the people i travelled with and not many people where in the masjid, but it was a small slow stream of people, all of this occurred before the government put up the permanent barricade in front of the prophets doors and assigned guards that never left, and on this occasion there were no guards in front of the door because it was very quiet.
As i approached the door i steadily walked ahead of my group in eagerness and just as i reached the area i slightly turned to look at them and saw they stood back and asked others to do the same, so when i reached the door i was the only person at the door. As i was sending salam i lost myself in that moment and forgot about time or any notion of other people in the masjid it was as if i was the only person standing in front of the prophet (saws) sending prayers on Him (saws).
The group where setting me up letting me send salam on the prophet (saws) by myself for a long time, probably counting on what the Saudi government usually says to get me in trouble, and especially given that shaykhs earlier warnings, but they didn’t expect how long i would be there and something made me stay longer outside of my own intension, the whole world disappeared and i was given time with the prophet as much as my heart could want, no one else walked past and the area was silent as if i had it to my self, something very rare.
Finally towards the end i decided to finish and walk out the door, as i started to do so my senses where completely taken over and i was covered in an intense white light that blinded me to everything, i couldn’t hear, see or sense anything and it walked me out the door not being able to see anything, in hind sight i think this was an Angel the prophet (saws) asked to help me against what my group had waiting for me just outside the door.
I walked but couldn’t see hear or sense anything except the white light and so I barely even noticed reaching the exist, we would have continued walking with the Angel long past the exist to jannah al Baqi, such was the peace we felt, had i not heard some people shouting at me which took me out of that light and state.
The fake salafi shaykh had pre-arranged for his students to stand just outside the door to harass me for standing in front of the prophet (saws) for so long, and the man they sent to befriend my father was assigned with attacking me, but as i walked outside the door not being able to see or sense anything it was his screams of terror that snapped me out of my state, as my site returned because of his screams, i saw him fall on his rear screaming then scrambling backwards as fast as he could with his hands and legs looking at me in horror.
Later this reminded me of what the Angels did for the companions at badr, the kufar would scream at things the companions (ra) themselves did not see and run away in terror.
That man came at me as I was walking out the door trying to attack me, supposedly he was chosen to go into fever over the other students shouts at me, which Allah didn’t want me to hear or see what they said.
But just as he reached me, which i dint even notice, He saw something that terrified him, it made him fall and was enough of a fright to then make him scramble backwards on his bum as fast as he can before even thinking to get back up and run.
When i first saw him coming out of my state i saw the shaytan in his face and didn’t even recognize him until after he fell and began scrambling away, the Angel showed me what was really guiding him.
When the other students saw what occurred to him, I don’t think they saw what he saw, they all shut up and became deflated making excuses for themselves, i don’t know what they saw exactly but all i could see was the intense white light of the Angel protecting me.
“And [remember, O Muhammad], when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you [from Makkah]. But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.”(8:30)
They planned and Allah planned, but Allah is the best of planners, He turned everything they did into my opportunity in front of the prophet (saws) and defeated their plot when they decided to attack us outright.
We will end the account here, Jazak Allah Khair for listening,
Shaykh Rami al Rifai.
