But as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed, even the martyr is refused the permission to return, he ﷺ said: “The souls of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers. Once, their Lord cast a glance at them and said: “Do you want anything?” They said: “What more can we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise wherever we like.” Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they would be continued to be asked and not left (without answering the question), they said: “O Lord, we wish that You may return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Your cause once again. When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in Heaven).” [Saheeh Muslim (4651)]

Deception is an old and well-known trick that the Jinn use to mislead mankind; they play with the minds of humans in order to ruin their religion and cause them to commit Shirk.The spiritualists, who claim to have contacts with the spirits of the dead from an Islamic point of view, are in fact un-religious and liars. They make contacts with the Jinn through evil incantations and demonic rituals and perform extraordinary feats with ease through them.

The Jinn (sing. Jinni): The Jinn are a living creation of Allah, created from smokeless flame of fire. They share the material world with the humans. Though they are invisible to us, they eat and drink with us, and also have the ability to inhabit the human body and influence our thoughts. They are stronger than humans and can take different forms and shapes. Amongst them are Muslims and Kafirs; the Kafir Jinn help their counterpart among the humans in evil acts. When the spiritualist contacts a Jinni, the Jinni takes advantage of his ability to acquire different forms and adopts the appearance of the dead and pretends to be the returned souls. This is one of the ways by which the Shaytaan attempts to deceive humans and lead them astray. For example, on the Day of the Battle of Badr, a devil came to the polytheist of Quraysh in the shape of Suraqah bin Malik.

This incident is also related in the Qur’aan in Soorah al-Anfal 8/ 48: “(Remember) when the Shaytaan (evil Jinn are called Shaytaan meaning ‘devils’) made their (evil) deeds seem fair to them and said: ‘No one of mankind can overcome you this Day (of the battle of Badr) and verily, I am your neighbor (for each and every help).’ But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he ran away and said: ‘Verily, I have nothing to do with you. Verily! I see what you see not. Verily, I fear Allah for Allah is severe in punishment.”

Another incident is related in Saheeh al-Bukharee; a Jinni came to Abu Hurayrah (radhiAllahu anhu) several times, when he was in charge of the alms in Ramadan. Abu Hurayrah (radhiAllahu anhu) narrates: “Allah’s Messenger ﷺ ordered me to keep Sadaqah (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A man came and started taking handfuls of the foodstuff (of the Sadaqah, stealthily). I took hold of him and said: “By Allah, I will take you to Allah’s Messenger ﷺ.” He said: “I am needy and have many dependents, and I am in great need.” I released him, and in the morning Allah’s Messenger ﷺ asked me: “What did your prisoner do yesterday?” I said: “O Allah’s Messenger ﷺ! The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let him go.” Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said: “Indeed, he told you a lie and he will come again.” Then the visitor came again and the same episode repeated twice, after which Allah’s Messenger asked: “O Abu Hurayrah! Do you know whom you were talking to, these three nights?” Abu Hurayrah said: “No!” He ﷺ said: “It was Shaytaan.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee 3/ 505]

The Qareen: Every human has been assigned a Jinni to be his constant companion. He is called ‘Qareen’ and he encourages evil desires.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once told his companions: “Everyone of you has been assigned a companion from the Jinn.” They asked: “Even you, O Messenger of Allah !” He replied: “Even me, except that Allah has helped me against him and he has submitted. Now he only tells me to do good.” [Saheeh Muslim]

It is this Qareen, who is responsible for knowing the character and deeds of the dead. For example, during s? (apparently) a Jinni often pretends to contact the dead and allows them to speak to the living. In fact, the Jinn had contacted the Qareen of the dead. The Qareen, who was a constant companion of the dead person and knew his entire life history, will be able to mimic the voice of the deceased and answer any questions accurately (about the dead person’s life), thus fooling those present into believing that they are in the presence of spirits.

How do you protect yourself from evil possession?

(a) Shaytaan runs away when Adhaan or Iaqamah is pronounced, always make sure to answer the Adhaan.

(b) Reciting the last two verses of Soorah al-Baqarah every night,

(c) reciting Aayat al-Kursee as is the Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu alaihe wa-sallam)

(d) reciting the last four Soorahs of the Qur’aan

(e) Morning and Evening Supplications,

(f) supplications before entering the bathroom and after coming out of it, supplication upon wearing clothes, upon entering the house, and others which are mentioned in the Sunnah.

Once returning from a war, Prophet Mohammad ﷺ said  “We are returning from Jihad-e-Asghar (smaller Jihad, ie., war) towards Jihad-e-Akbar”(Tazkia Nafs, ie., bigger Jihad)”.  (Radd al-Mukhtar, Kitab al-Jihad, third edition, page 237).

What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter – that is life indeed, if they but knew.] (Al-Ankaboot – 64).

Prophet Salih’s (as) speech to the dead has been mentioned in Quran which was made after his nation had perished. So Salih (as) left them, saying: “O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counselors!] ( Al-Araf – 79).

So Shu’aib(as) left them, saying: “O’ my people! I did indeed convey to you the messages for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but how shall I lament over a people who refuse to believe! ] (Al-Araf – 93).
