JINN, NOT "GHOSTS"

[Heba E. Husseyn]

 




 


In accordance with the information in the Noble Quran, Muslim Villa believes only in the concept and existence of Jinn, not "ghosts."  

Those posts containing the experiences of outside sources in first person mentioning of "ghosts" are perceived as Jinn by us as per our confirmation with the Noble Quran.

Thanks for this very important clarification, sister Heba.  This fact must be kept in mind prior to reading all the stories posted in this paranormal board.

I will post this as sticky on all sub-boards of the paranormal.

Ghosts are jinn. Djinn are energy creature. When we saw ghost actually the djinn using his energy to show or project himself. Since it is fire-energy we cant touch it. Mythical animal and false gods such as Shiva and hindu gods actually also djinn. While djinn a particle size, it has shapes, be it ifrit or dragon or tiger etc...so there are a lot of 'species' of djinn with different character and tendencies...

[Heba E. Husseyn]

First off, we do not discuss hindu or other pagan myths here. 

Coming to the other point you raised, jinn and ghosts according to common understanding is not the same.  Ghost is a term that's used for referring to the spirit of a dead person visiting the earth which does not have any conformity with the Noble Quran.   Jinn are elemental spirits and a species by themselves like humans.  However there are certain differences between humans and jinn.  Presence of Jinn has of course been plainly confirmed in the Noble Quran.

"See you not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion?"  (19:83) Surah Maryam.

Verse 19:83 is the reason why some people with no Faith or weak Faith might say they saw the spirit (or a ghost) of a deceased person whom they claim to have recognized.  It's actually the jinn in guise of the deceased trying to befool the vulnerable and weak.  Such folks are the type whom the devils prey upon to confuse.  Bad or mischievous jinn are the sort of creatures who would take pleasure misleading the weak among humans.


"Until when death overtakes one of them, he says: Send me back, my Rab, send me back; haply I may do good in that which I have left.  By no means!  it is a (mere) word that he speaks; and before them is a barrier until the day they are raised."   (23:99-100) Surah Al-Muminun.

In the above Verse, The Almighty confirms the matter again, that once the soul is taken from the physical body, it cannot return to this world ever again no matter how much it pleads.

Very correctly put Sistes Ruhi and Heba.   Allah bless.
