Jinn and Jaadoo
When we were studying in Deoband there was a librarian named Maulana Sultan Saheb. He was very well known and many people from far and wide would come to him for treatment pertaining to Jinn and Jadu. He told us that 99% of these cases were fake. If he told a person that he is not affected by Jadu, they will not accept it.
The person would think that this Maulana Saheb does not really know his work. On the other hand, if he told any person that he has been affected by strong Jadu, he becomes pleased, gains confidence in such a Maulana and regards him as a very powerful Maulana. If the Maulana tells him that his Jadu is old and it is difficult to get rid of it then he will have even more confidence in such a Maulana.
Thus we can conclude that 99% of these Aamils are fake. They steal people’s money in a very sophisticated manner. If they do not ask for money, then we assume they are absolutely genuine and they did not take money from us. By doing so, they are able to extract much more than we expect. At the same time, they steal a person’s Imaan and make him believe in various incorrect things.
It is sad that the respect and dignity of many women is lost in such a way that she will never expose what occurred. We know of some terrible cases therefore we should never expose our women to this. If there is a genuine need to take your womenfolk to an Aamil, then enquire from your local Ulama about a genuine person.
We should never allow our womenfolk to be in seclusion with any medical doctor nor an Aamil. Her mahram or a responsible female should always be present when a woman needs to be treated.
These Aamils cause enmity amongst people and family members. In many cases they blame the mother-in-law and in some instances they blame one’s own mother. They have caused friction between a mother and her son, mother and daughter, in fact they have broken up homes. These Aamils know exactly how to extract information from their patients and then they tell you things which cause you to become surprised. We are so simple minded that they extract the information from us, and then inform us by telling that this is what had happened to you. This is definitely not the work of someone that offers treatment to anyone. These people should be totally avoided. Jadu is a reality, however the effect is limited. We should also bear in mind that Jadu can only have an effect by the will of Allah Ta’ala.
So an effort has to be made to bring Deen into our homes. We should encourage family members to go out in Jamaat, we should encourage them to perform Salaah and teach them the importance of Deen. We should have Taleem in the home and I can guarantee you that there will not be any problems regarding Jadu or Jinnat in such a home, to such an extent that even medical problems will disappear.
