DEMONIC VISIONS
Those involved in incantations and oaths often swear by some devils to help
them against others. Sometimes the evil JINN fulfil their request but
frequently they donot, especially when the JINN against whom help is sought
is honored among them. Neither the one chanting incantations nor his
incantations have any power toforce the devils to help them. The reciter of
incantations earnestly entreats a being whom he considered great - which may
or may not be the case - to harm otherswho may conceivably be greater. In
the case where someone entreats the JINN to harm someone whom the JINN hold
in high esteem, they will ignore him. In fact,it may prevent them from even
responding at all. Their situations is quite similar to that of humans
except that human beings are generally more intelligent, truthful, justand
trustworthy while the JINN tend to be ignorant, untruthful, oppressive and
treacherous.
The point is that though the oaths and incantations of devil-worshippers may
contain statements of idolatry and disbelief, they are frequently
ineffective against theJINN. When requested to kill or apprehend another
JINN who has possessed a human, the JINN will often mock those who make the
request by falsely givingthem the impression that they killed or detained
the offending JINN. This is especially so in cases where humans believe in
the illusions created by the JINN. TheJINN usually communicate by either
visions or voices ["The gleaning of hidden information by way of visions and
voices has been well documented amongclairvoyants and mediums. 'A medium'
may be defined as a person through whose agency or through whose orgainsm
there are received communications ostensiblyfrom deceased human beings or
other discarnate or remote entities. In what is called 'clairvoyant
mediumship' -now popularly known as channelling- the meduim'sees' or 'hears'
the deceased friends and relatives of persons persent and relays messages
from them. Generallyspeaking, the experiences concerned seem not to have the
distinctness of ordinary perception but are rather a seeing or hearing 'in
the mind's eye' or ear. Sometimes, however, the figures seen or voices heard
may attain as hallucinatory vividness; the medium's experience then
resembles that of one who witnesses an apparition." (Benjamin B. Wolman.
ed., Handbook of Parapsychology, New York, Van Nostrand Reinhold Company,
1977, pp, 579-580)] with those seeking information among the
idol-worshippers, Christians, Jews, and heretical Muslims driven astray by
the devils. JINNS may take the form of a live picture portraying whatever
the sorcerers and fortunetellerswish to know about. When these deviants see
the image of what they sought, they then inform other humans about it. Some
of them may know that the image isactually an illusion, while others may be
deluded into believing that they are actually wintessing the real scene.
JINNS may also make humans hear the voice of thosewhom they call upon who
are far away. Such cases are frequent among idolaters, Christians, Jews and
ignorant Muslims who seek refuge in those whom theyconsider holy. When some
devotees call on their spiritual masters for help saying, "Oh my Lord so and
so!" the JINN will address them in the voice of their masters.When the
masters answer their request, the JINN, in turn, answer the devotees in the
masters' voice. This has happened to many people some of whom are knownto
me. The devils will often respond while talking the form of the one
besought, whether dead or alive, even if he is unaware of those who call on
him. Those committing Shirk in this fashion believe that the person
beseeched has actually replied when in fact it is the JINN replying. This
frequently happens to Christians whocall on those whom they edify, whether
dead or alive, like George or other holy figures [ROME, Feb 24 1989 (AFP) -
A retired Italian roadman Renato Baronclaims that he has been seeing and
talking to the Virgin Mary for nearly three years now. Visions by Baron and
about THIRTY others have attracted tens ofthousands of people from Italy,
France, Belgium, and West Germany to a hill near Venice, causing huge
traffic jams.
Ambridge, Pennsylvania - A small Roman Catholic Church in a western
Pennsylvania mill town is preparing for a deluge of pilgrims after a
reported Good Fridaymiracle in which the eyes of a statue of Christ suddenly
closed. The Rev. Vincent Cvitkovic, a Franciscan friar, and many of his
parishoners reported that the eyes ofa life-size statue which depicts the
crucified Christ, which have been open for 60 years, closed during a prayer
meeting. (The Times, Monday, April 10th 1989, no.63, 364, p.8)
In 1981 a group of five children were playing on a hill just outside of a
village in the Yugoslavian Republic of Bosnia - Herzegovina called Medugorje
when a visionof a beautiful woman claiming to be the Blessed Virgin Mary
appeared before them. Since 1981 some seven to eight million pilgrims from
different countries, culturesand Christian traditions have climbed up the
holy hill of Medugorje. At 7:30 every evening pilgrims and tourists
anxiously crowd around the dark rectory of a nearby church staring at the
stream of light which will signify that once more the children, who still
gather there daily, are having their private audience with the
BlessedMother. (IRF, Newsletter of the International Religious Foundation,
Inc., Vol II, No. 6, Nov-Dec 1987, pp 1-2).
Divine grace (salvation) is felt to be especially potent in places visited
by Jesus Christ or Saints or by Mary; where they have appeared in visions.
Major pilgrimagecenters include Lourdes where visions of the Virgin Mary
were first seen in 1858 and where healing has been occuring since that time.
(John R. Hinnells, ed., Dictionary of Religions, Middlesex, England: Penguin
Books Ltd., 1984, p. 284)]. It also occurs to heretical Muslims who call on
the dead or those not present, andthe devils take the form of the one called
upon even without him realizing it. I know of many cases where this has
occurred and the people called upon have told methat they did not know that
they were called upon, though those beseeching them for help saw their
images and were convinced that it was the actual person. Morethan one person
has mentioned that they called on me in times of distress, each telling a
different story about how I have responded. When I told them that I
neveranswered any of them nor did I know that they were calling on me, some
said that it must have been an angel. I told them that angels do not benefit
those committingSHIRK and that it was actually a devil trying to further
misguide them.
Sometimes the Jinn will take the form of those admired and stand at 'Arafat,
and those who believe well of him will think that he actually stood in
'Arafat. Many others have also been actually carried by the devils to
'Arafat and other sacred places. In such cases they pass the Meeqaat
(boundaries that may not be crossedwhile on Hajj, around Makkah) without
formally entering the state of Ihraam, or performing many of the obligatory
rites of Hajj like making the Talbeeyah (chant ofresponse to God's call) or
circulating the Ka'bah, and walking between the mounts of Safaa and Marwah.
Among them are some who do not even pass throughMakkah, others who stand at
'Arafat without performing the pre-requisite rite of casting stones at the
Jamaraat etc. It is by these and other similar feats that Satanleads
seemingly pious people in misguidance. Sincere devotees among heretics are
in this way enticed to do acts wich are prohibited (Haraam) or
despised(Makrooh) in the religion. Satan is able to make such misdeeds
appealing to them by convincing them that they are among the Karaamaat
(supernatural orquasi-miraculous feats) of the righteous. However they are,
without a doubt, Satanic deceptions because Allaah cannot be worshipped by
any religious injunctionwhich is neither compulsory (Waajib) nor recommended
(Mustahabb). Whoever performs an act of worship which is neither Waajib nor
Mustahabbbelieving that it is so, has been deceived by Satan. Even if it is
decreed that such a person will be forgiven due to his good intention and
striving, the act itself is stillunacceptable to Allaah [An example may be
seen in the mistaken belief held by some that a man's head must be covered
while he is in formal prayer - Salaah - as isthe case among Jews or that a
woman's hair to be covered while reading the Qur'aan. However, the Prophet
saws did not order that it be done nor recommended itbut merely followed the
customs of his people during that time.]. Such acts are not among the things
with which Allaah honors His pious servants who are close toHim, as there is
no honor in performing prohibited (Haraam) or despised (Makrooh) acts [Such
is the case of the celebration of the Prophet's saws birthday - 'EedMeelaad
an-Nabee - which probably began among ignorant Muslims trying to outdo or at
least compete with the Christians's celebrations of Christmas.
Meelaadcelebrations are a form of innovation - Bid'ah - in religion which
has been forbidden by the Prophet saws who said: "Whoever innnovates in this
affair ouf ours - i.e.Islaam - something which does not belong to it will be
rejected. - Reported by 'Aa'eshah and collected by Al-Bukaaree and Muslim].
Divine honor lies in protectingone whom Allaah loves from such acts and
preventing him from doing them. For, committing misdeeds debases one who
does them and does not in any way favor him, even if he is not punished for
doing them. Doing despised or Haraam acts MUST decrease the spiritual level
of both the one who does them as well as his followers who praise such acts
and glorify him. For, heaping praise on prohibited and despised acts, and
honoring the one who does them is definitely a form of deviation from the
path of Allaah. The more and more a man innovates in the religion as a
result of independent judgement (Ijtihaad), the further he becomes from
Allaah, because innovation (Bid'ah) removes him from Allaah's path; the
divine path of "those who Allah has blessed from among the prophets, the
sincerely truthful, martyrs and righteous" [An-Nisaa 4:69] unto the path of
"those with whom Allaah is angry and those who have gone astray"
[Al-Faatihah 1:7]. Ibn Taymeeyah mentioned the following [This begins a
segment from vol.35 of Ibn Taymeeyah's compendium, Majmoo' al-Fataawaa.]
historical incident concerning al-Hallaaj [Al-Husain ibn Mansoor al-Hallaj
(858-922 CE) studied under the eminent Sufi teachers of his time (Tustaree,
'Amr Makee and Junaid) then broke with them and went out into this world to
preach asceticism and mysticism in Khurasan, Ahwaz, Fars, India and
Turkistan. On his return to Baghdad from Makkah in908, many were attracted
by his teachings, and disciples rapidly gathered around him. He taught that
the five pillars of Islaam may be replaced by other works. Healso taught
about the existence of an uncreated Divine spirit (Rooh Naatiqah) which
becomes united with the created spirit of the ascetic through desire of
andsubmission to suffering. In his teachings the Saint (Walee) became the
living and personal witness of God (H.A.R. Gibb and J.H. Kramers,
Encyclopedia of Islam,Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1st ed., 1953,
pp 127-80). Consequently he stated in his book: "If you do not recognize
God, at least recognise His sign, I amthe creative truth -Ana al-Haqq-,
because through the truth, I am eternal truth. My friends and teachers are
Iblees (Satan) and Pharaoh. Iblees was threatened withHellfire, yet, he did
not recant. Pharaoh was drowned in the sea, yet he did not recant, for he
would not acknowledge anything between him and God (i.e. Hallaajfelt that
Iblees' refusal to prostrate to Aadam and Pharaoh's statement "I am your
Lord, most High" were correct!). And, I, though, I am killed and crucified
andthough my hands and feet are cut off; I do not recant." - Kitaab
al-Tawaaseen, Massignon Press, Paris, 1913, vi, 32. The leading scholars
from all orthodox schoolsof Islamic law as well as the leading Shi'ite
scholars and some of his former Sufi teachers declared him a heretic and he
was subsequently executed due to his refusal to retract his claim to be the
personification of God on earth.] and a group of his followers, "Some of
them requested some sweets from al-Hallaaj, so he got up andwent to a spot a
short distance away, then returned with a plateful of sweets. It was later
discovered that it had been stolen from a candy shop in Yemen and carriedby
a devil to that area." Ibn Taymeeyah went on to say, "Incidents similar to
this have happened to others who, like al-Hallaaj, also achieved the
pinnacle of satanicstates, and we know of quite a few such people in our
time as well as other times. For instance, there is a person presently
residing in Damascus whom the devilused to carry from the Saaliheeyah
mountain to villages around Damascus. He would appear out of the air and
enter the windows of houses in which people weregathered to witness his
'miraculous entrance.'" Ibn Taymeeyah also quoted another mystic master who
admitted that he used to fornicate with women and sodomiseyoung boys. The
former mystic master said, "A black dog ["Abu Dharr reported: The Messanger
of Allaah said: 'When any one of you stands for prayer it should betowards
something that shields him equivalent (in height) to the back of a saddle,
otherwise his prayer will be broken by passing of a donkey, a woman or a
blackdog.' I asked 'O Abu Dharr, what is the difference between a black dog,
a red dog and tan-colored dog?' He replied, 'O son of my brother, I also
asked Allaah'sMessanger as you are asking me, and he said: 'The black dog is
a devil.'" (Saheeh Muslim and all other in the six Saheeh books with the
exception of Saheehal-Bukhaaree)] with two white spots between his eyes
would come to me and say, 'Verily such and such a person has made an oath by
you and he will come to youtomorrow to inform you about it. I have already
fulfilled his need for your sake.' [When questioned during his trial, the
infamous New York City mass murderer ofthe seventies, "Son of Sam", claimed
that a dog used to come in backyard of his house and tell him to kill his
victims. It was assumed by the court and hispsychiatrists that he was
mentally deranged and the dog a figment of his imagination.] The person
would then come to him the next day and the Sufi master wouldreveal the
details of his oath to him and how it was fulfilled. The Sufi master went on
to say, 'I used to walk about the city and a black pole with a light on top
of itwould lead the way.' " Ibn Taymeeyah said, "When the Sufi master
repented and began to pray, fast, and avoid the forbidden, the black dog
went away." He alsonarrated the following about another mystic master who
had the aid of devils whom he would despatch to possess people: "When the
family of the possessed would come to him seeking a cure, he would send a
message to his demon companion and they would leave the possessed persons,
as a result, the Shaykh would be given many dirhams for his services.
Sometimes the Jinn would bring him dirhams and food which they stole from
people, so much so that the Shaykh would request dates from his devils and
they would take them from beehives in which some poeple had hidden their
dates. When the beehive owners would look for their dates they would find
them gone." About yet another mystic, Ibn Taymeeyah relates, "There was a
Shaykh knowledgeable in the religious sciences and Qur'anic recitation to
whom the devils came and eventually managed to seduce. They toldhim that
Salaah was no longer required of him and that they would bring him whatever
he wished. As soon as he complied with their wishes, they beganto bring him
a variety of sweets and fruit. This continued until he was advised to repent
by some scholars that he visited who were firmly following the Sunnah. He
subsequently repented and repaid the owners of the sweets for what he ate
while under the influence of the JINN." He then went on to say, "Many of
those who callon Shaykhs in time of need saying, 'O master so and so, or
Shaykh so and so, fulfill my need' have seen an image of the Shaykh saying,
'I will fulfill your need and put your heart at ease,' then it fulfills
their needs or repels their enemies. In such cases it is a devil taking the
Shaykh's form when they committed Shirk by associating partners with Allaah
andcalling on others beside Him." Ibn Taymeeyah then went on to enumerate
similar instances involving himself saying, "I know of many such incidences
even among agroup of my companions who called on me in times when they were
struck by calamities. One was afraid of the Romans and another of the
Tatars. Both of themmentioned that they called out to me, they saw me in the
air and I repelled their enemies for them. I informed them that I did not
hear their cries no did I repel theirenemies. It was a devil taking my
appearance to seduce them when they associated partners with Allaah the
Almighty. Similar incidents have also happened to thestudents of my
contemporaries among the scholars, whereby some of their students have
sought refuge in them and have seen them fulfill their needs. The
scholarshave also denied doing so and indicated that it was in fact the work
of devils." [Majmoo' Al-Fataawaa, Vol. 35, pp. 112-116]
In another book, Ibn Taymeeyah said, "I know people whom the plants greet
and inform them of their beneficial ingredients, however it is, in fact,
Satan who hasentered the plants and spoken to them. I also know of others to
whom stones and trees speak saying, "Congratulations, Oh friend of Allaah"
and when the peoplerecite Aayatul-Kursee it stops. I am acquainted with yet
others who have gone bird-hunting and the sparrows addressed them saying,
"Take me so that the poormay eat me." Such are cases of the evil JINN
possessing the birds in the same way that others who, while in their house
with the doors and vice versa [Many ofthose in our times who have claimed
what is known as 'out-of-body experiences' or 'astral-travel' have recorded
in vivid detail incidences simialr to those mentionedby Ibn Taymeeyah.
Others have met beings which claimed to be guides, guardian spirits or their
higher selves. However, the common thought which links most ofthese
experiences is the ultimate expression of idolatry: that man is God, as was
expressed by Al-Hallaaj and countless others before and after him.] He may
even betaken through the closed city gates and back again swiftly by the
JINN. Lights may shine on him or someone looking like his friend may call on
him but, if he recitesAayatul-Kursee continually, it will all dissappear."
He also said, "Some mystics have also said that the JINN showed them
something shiny like water and glass inwhich images or pictures of whatever
they sought information would appear and they in turn wold inform people."
Ibn Taymeeyah me tioned other instances and thenconcluded by saying, "This
is a so vast a topic that if I were to mention all that I knew, it would
fill a very large volume." [Ibn Taymeeyah, Al-Furqaan BaynaAwliyaa
ar-Rahmaan wa Awliyaa ash-Shaytaan, pp. 87-92]
