November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

That's a helpful overview.   

I guess the concepts of demons, poltergeists, witchcraft, the evil eye, harbored by many non-Muslims are basically the corruption of the presence of jinn.

While the Noble Quran does convey that jinn can appear similar to humans (the event of Prophet Abraham's guests in the Noble Quran), I cannot recall any Verse conveying  that jinn can change themselves into different forms.  Focusing on the former that jinn do or can appear as humans, and excluding the hadith narrations, I've known people who have seriously recounted their experiences with jinn, many earnestly and soberly think they met a "person" who was quite definitely a jinn.  Something out of the ordinary that "person" or the nature of the encounter convinces them about it.   Those who have had such experiences haven't mentioned any particular reason to fear jinn, the type of fear which is synonymous with the non-Muslim idea of "paranormal."  But they have mentioned about a feeling of uneasiness which was obviously because they already had a distinct feeling that the "person" wasn't a human being ... which should not necessarily be taken in a derogatory sense. 

Secondly, we do know for sure, that jinn (unlike humans) can travel much faster in split seconds perhaps as discussed in the post I can only assume it was a jinn but Allah knows best.  This is clearly indicated in Verse 27:39-40 of Surah An-Naml about the jinn that worked Prophet Solomon, when he asked for the throne of the queen - that queen  was most likely the ruler of southern Arabia, today known as Yemen, and according to extra-Quranic stories she is known as Queen of Sheba.  Perhaps 'Sheba' was the ancient name of southern Arabia prior to being known as 'Arabia Felix' and later, Yemen.  And since she did embrace Monotheism (submission or Islam) after the positive influence of Prophet Solomon, that may explain why many Arab Semite Jews in medieval times resided in southern Arabia (Yemen).   Several of them may have been the descendants of time of that queen who gradually distorted the faith, claiming Prophet Solomon to be a "Jew."  In reality, Prophet Solomon was not a Jew nor a Christian, he was simply a Monotheist or a submitter or a Muslim which is the Arabic translation of submitter.   

Anyhow, the above historical details are known best only to Allah.  Coming back to the point, the information in Verse 27:39-40 of Surah An-Naml is truly interesting.

"A stalwart of the jinn said: I will bring it you before you can rise from your place.   Indeed!  I verily am strong and trusty for such work.  Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, 'I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.' And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, 'This is from the favor of my Rab to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful ....' "    27:39-40.

Reading the above Verse, we can be certain that jinn can handle certain matters in a way impossible for humans ... just as, I guess, the intellect of humans cannot is superior to that of the jinn.  But only Allah knows best.
