Devil

A brief introduction about the existence and abilities of Jinn.

The subject of the jinn is one which is of interest to many people. Folk stories abound, and many superstitious practices have arisen in Muslim cultures with regard to protection against the jinn. Many myths surround the ideas of the evil eye and envy, and there are many strange notions surrounding illnesses such as epilepsy and mental illness, which are often thought of as being caused by the jinn. This book cuts through all the confusion and identifies correct Islamic teachings on all these subjects. The jinn are real and they can indeed harm humans, but this book will teach you how to protect yourself in the manner taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him).

This booklet will Insha’Allah, comprehensively answer these baffling questions and dispel many doubts on the subject like why Allah created Shaytan and why Shaytan was granted his request to remain alive until the Day of Judgement. This booklet will also elaborate upon Aqeedah points that are learnt from the disgraceful story of Shaytan’s failure and from the grievous stories of those who fell into his traps from the nations past. The last part of this booklet focuses on the means prescribed in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah to dispel Shaytan and protect ourselves and our homes from him.

In the Islamic Faith, however, Satan is a member of the jinn that constitute a world of their own, created with the ability to obscure themselves from human sight.

In the work before you, Dr. Umar Al-Ashqar, a well-known contemporary scholar of Islam, has attempted to tackle two important topics. The first topic is that of the characteristics of the jinn. This is a difficult topic for many reasons. One of them is that the devils are known to be liars. Thus, even when a person does encounter them, he cannot put much trust in what they claim about themselves. Therefore, one must virtually rely only on the statements of the Quran and the authentic hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The second topic is the characteristics and methodology of Satan himself. It is no coincidence that Allah has mentioned Satan, his goals, his plots and his allies throughout the entire Quran. This is because Satan is man’s greatest enemy. The believer must know the key to defending himself from Satan.

a significant fatwa from Shaikh Ibn Al Othaimeen to show the appropriate remedy for the insinuating whispers of the Devil. The person who experiences this problem should seek refuge with Allah, give up these thoughts completely, remember Allah and occupy himself with doing the righteous deeds.

Releasing gaze is one the main reasons of affliction.How many worshippers were spoiled when they released their gaze ! How many persons were trapped into adultry because of this ! As eyes are the mirror of the heart.If the person lowers his gaze,the heart lowers his desire.And if he releases his gaze,the heart releases his desire and becomes occupied with things he sees leading him away from what benefit him in the hereafter.

Do not Follow the Footsteps of the Shaytan.
