to far remember just remember Allah sees
it all
alhamdulillah all praise is due to Allah
and may Allah's peace and blessings
beond the last messenger of Allah I'd
like to welcome you again dear viewers
to our Series in the names of Allah and
in this series we have been looking at
the names of
Allah as they should be reflected in
human life how human beings should
relate to Allah through his names
through worshiping him and we have been
looking at in particular particular the
greatest name of Allah which is none
other than Allah
itself we ended the previous uh segment
looking at one of the prescriptions
which the prophet Salli wasallam gave
for dealing
with spiritual attack demonic attack
where a human being becomes overpowered
by forces from the world of the
Jin we we said that some people deny
this that this is something made up
these are Fairy Tales
stories well it is true that there's a
lot of fairy tales in the Muslim World
about this as in the Christian world and
the other worlds people have a lot of
stories about this but there is an
element of truth to it not necessarily
to the stories that are being told but
to the concept itself that some people
may be
possessed and the incident we mentioned
which was narrated
by
or where a woman gave her boy to the
prophet s wasallam and he sat the boy in
front of him the boy was seem to be
overcome with fits he was falling down
and you know going into a state maybe we
associate this with epilepsy you know
something similar Etc but uh you know
there didn't seem to be any treatment
for it they gave the boy to the prophet
M wasallam and he opened the boy's mouth
and he blew in the boy's mouth Thrice
three times he blew in his mouth then he
called out to a being that was inside of
the boy he started by
saying
abdah in the name of Allah I am a
servant of
Allah I do Allah get out oh enemy of
Allah now this Hadith which you said is
authentic authentically reported in the
musnad of Imam Ahmed this Hadith is
clear proof that possession has a
reality if it were not the case then we
would have to say that the prophet may
God Speak peace and blessing be upon him
was engaging in strange activity which
has no
meaning that's what we have to say but
we know that he
was he was truthful in whatever he did
and he was trustworthy he was not going
to play with us play with our minds Etc
he in doing this left a methodology for
us to deal with cases of real possession
as I said
there are many times when people uh
claim to be possessed or people think
that other people are possessed and it's
not possession at all and we should try
to treat uh some of these cases the
cases where it's you know we're not sure
whatever we try to treat it with uh what
is available from the medical profession
you know we should not go to the state
that a lot of ignorant people reached
where every little thing that happens we
say it's the Jin so and so it's possess
by the Jin my children are possessed by
the Jin some people get involved in
beating the kids and doing things that
to the point where some of children and
people young women Etc have been killed
from beatings you know and this was not
the way of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam he didn't take this boy and
beat the boy he opened his mouth blew in
it thce saying in the name of Allah I am
a servant of Allah get out oh enemy of
Allah this is the primary method that
the prophet Salli wasallam practiced and
this is what we should do where we find
a similar circumstance there's another
narration which is from Abu Malik's
father in which he related that the
prophet Salli wasallam had instructed
that where a person finds an evil
presence where they can feel some kind
of uh Resident Evil around himself or
herself in a home or whatever that
rather than cursing Satan right he said
rather than
saying that is Satan Satan is wretched
he said to say
instead because when one says
tan what happens is that Satan or the
satanic force in the home Bec becomes
great becomes bigger and we tend to uh
make it uh something really great in our
in our sight or in our eyes in our in
our feelings till the point as the
prophet wasallam had said that it takes
over the house as a whole instead say
bismah and it will reduce that presence
till it becomes as he said like a fly
and this Hadith is also found in the
Sunan of ABI daud it's an authentic
Hadith from the prophet Sall alhi
wasallam and in the case where people
are
suffering from various uh actually
physical ailments oneself or
others he prescribed you know not
assuming that it is necessarily from the
gin or anything but the fact that the
forces spiritual demonic evil forces
could be involved he prescribed that we
place our hand at the the point where we
feel the
pain and we say bismah three times then
seven times we
say that is I seek refuge in Allah and
his power from the evil that I find and
from the evil that I
fear so here he prescribed again the use
of the basah to say that basah three
times
bismah
bis
bismah and that is for physical ailments
where we feel pain in our bodies or our
relatives or wives children whatever
there's a pain there to utilize this
Prophet S wasallam taught it to us he
didn't teach it to be ignored he taught
it as a means of treating
illnesses not to say that you know we
don't use whatever other medicines are
there as the prophet wasallam had said
that Allah did not send down in his
creation any disease without also giving
its cure so the Cure is there we can
find it we can seek it but sometimes
these uh
afflictions are not just of a physical
nature they are coming from the world of
the Jin so we take our precaution we use
the medical means and at the same time
we use the spiritual medicine which the
prophet Sall wasallam gave us as I
mentioned before the case of The
Possession where the boy was treated by
the prophet Sall wasallam there was
another case of a woman who used to
clean the
Masjid and she came and complained to
the prophet wasallam that she would be
seized by fits from time to time and she
would fall down and in falling down it
would expose her garments now garments
would expose part of her a so she asked
the prophet Sall wasallam to pray for
her to have Allah remove it from her so
the prophet Sall wasallam told her that
he could pray and have it removed
or she could be
patient and Allah would reward her with
Paradise she asked the prophet s
wasallam to pray pray that at least if
she fell down in the fits her hour
wouldn't be exposed so he prayed for her
for that but why is it that on this
occasion Prophet Muhammad s Ali wasallam
didn't do what he did for the child he
didn't open her mouth uh blowing it
three times and say addressing something
inside of her why didn't he do that
Scholars looking at it like and others
pointed out that this was a case where
the cause was
physical this wasn't a case of
possession so where the cause is
physical then obviously that methodology
is not appropriate so the prophet Sall
wasallam told her to be patient with it
had it been one of demonic possession
then the prophet Sall wasallam would
have done as he did right or used some
other uh method recited something else
over her but he didn't so that is
indicative of the fact that some of
these ailments are from or many of the
ailments in fact are from uh real
physical natural uh causes and so we
should use whatever means we have
otherwise the prophet s wasallam also
gave us the use of the basmah for
treating another
phenomena that of the evil
eye something again which um in the
Muslim World maybe people have gone to
extremes people have amulets that they
wear you know to protect them from the
evil eye and uh these are sold and
people wear them around their necks
their arms and Etc well this is not what
the prophet s wasallam told us to do to
deal with it what he did is he to he
gave us a series of uh supplications to
make one of them is bismah
in the name of Allah may he make you
well and may He cure you from every
ill from the evil of the jealous when
they are envious and from the harm of
the evil
eye this was the Dua which the prophet
Sall wasallam gave again beginning with
the
basah and he did say on another
occasion that the evil eye has a reality
Scholars have pointed out that it
functions through the agency of the
Jin but it has a
reality on one hand we know this is the
case Prophet sallam gave us a formula to
deal with it but on the other hand we
don't go overboard to say that
everything that happens to us this is
evil eye we're looking at people
suspiciously we can't you know trust
people around us we assume that
everything is you know people are
looking at this way and that way and we
have to worry about no we don't go into
that state that's going overboard
Prophet Muhammad s wasallam gave us very
simple instructions supplications that
we use to protect ourselves so we should
try to use them with that dear viewers
we're going to take a break and we'll be
coming back after the break Salam
alaykum when you are weak the road seems
long remember just remember seek
strength from
the and if you look into the
early early exes of the Quran you will
find find that all the mine were trying
to find out where are these seven earth
earthquakes natural or artificial can
delineate the boundaries between seven
different zones within the Earth the
conclusion that we have seven different
layers within the Earth came to not only
the 20th century the True Believer would
prostrate down in obedience to Allah
subhana tal the blessings of that
frustration will reach the seventh Earth
[Music]
remember just remember seek
strength
alhamdulillah i' like to welcome you
dear viewers back from the break where
we were looking prior to the break at
some of the
spiritual uh formula which prophet
Muhammad s Ali wasallam gave us to deal
with spiritual
ailments uh spiritual ailments as well
as even physical
ailments we said before the break that
uh although on one hand we shouldn't go
overboard in attributing everything that
goes wrong around us whether physically
harm to ourselves to our children family
as well as you know harm to our
circumstance we don't want to attribute
each and everything to the world of the
Jinn but at the same time we don't go to
the Other Extreme of
denying the world of the Jin that that
world does affect us that it can in some
cases even lead to the level of
possession so prop wasallam gave us as
we said earlier uh various uh formula by
Me by which we use to cover both uh ends
of the spectrum he told told us we
mentioned a previous
Dua but there's another Dua in which he
said in the name of Allah I exercise you
from everything which harms you from the
evil of every soul or jealous eye may
Allah cure you in the name of Allah I
exercise you so this Prophet wasallam
gave and this is what we should use not
resorting to
beating as we have cases in different
parts of the Muslim world where you know
people have been uh diagnosed as being
possessed and then the people around
them with the aid of you know certain
individuals who they feel to be of some
special spiritual status you know
beating these people beating them to the
point where they've died are there are
cases that have happened happened here
in Egypt they've happened in the UK
they've happened in India and different
parts of the Muslim World it has
happened they're not that often but
still even one case is not acceptable
because this was not the way of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he
said
the true Muslim is one from whose tongue
and his hands the Muslims are safe so
when people are involved in this kind of
treatment by you know beating people
claiming to drive away the the uh
possessing Spirit but really the person
comes out all sore with bruises all over
their bodies sometimes even dying from
it we have to say there's something
wrong here this was not the way of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam nor
was it the way of his comp companions we
don't have any cases recorded that they
did these things so we have to be wary
even if somebody says well you know sh
so and
so you know he beat somebody with a shoe
well the point is did Prophet s wasallam
do it did his companions do it we don't
have any evidence for it then it doesn't
matter which shh fan or Alan did it it
doesn't matter because we are obliged to
follow the way of prophet Muhammad s
wasam and this area of treatment is not
like uh
Pharmacy where a doctor you know may try
a variety of different medicines on you
to see which works and the one which
works then he prescribes you know you
experiment it's like a hit and miss
situation no this area is not like that
that people can now bring in and
introduce you know whatever they feel
they'd like to try out they've heard it
works somewhere and help somebody so
we're going to try it out no it is not
this is not the same as Physical
Medicine you know where you have
experiment you know you experiment
various medicines how do we know that
they work they try it out on a group of
people and if the majority of people
seem to benefit from it they say okay
this is a medicine which works and at
the same time they use this medicine
with some people who they will tell them
that it's medicine but it's not actually
the medicine they give them sugar pills
instead and if they find that people are
just as much cured from the sugar pills
as they are being told that it was the
medicine as they are being cured with
the medicine they say well this medicine
doesn't really work I mean that's how uh
medicine functions trial and error in
this
regard but when it comes to spiritual
formula treating people
exorcism this is entering into the world
of the
Unseen and we don't and we don't have
the right to uh make up things
experiment with people with these things
what we have is what prophet Muhammad s
Ali wasallam left for us and this is
what we should
use he has taught us a way and Allah
said and described him
as the best of examples that's what we
should be following so dear viewers you
know I warn you it's my warning to you
to be careful of this because many
people in the Muslim World unfortunately
have been caught up in many practices
which have nothing to do with Islam at
all we have a way Prophet Muhammad s Ali
wasallam left it for us to follow so it
is our duty to seek out the information
which he gave and to apply this
information in our
lives use
this this is what the the prophet Sall
wasallam
gave he also gave us advice when we go
out of our homes and when we come into
our homes to use again the
basah as well as using Allah calling on
Allah he said when we leave the home
that we should say and if a person does
this he
says if a person says that in the name
of Allah I have trusted in Allah there
is no movement or power except by
Allah's
permission then it will be said that you
have been guided one who says that you
have been sufficed and
protected and the evil Jin the evil
forces around him will turn to each
other and say how can a how can we
affect a man when he has been guided
sufficed and protected did this is what
the prophet s wasallam informed us he
informed us of that world and what goes
on inside of the world you know this is
not something that we can enter into
that we can extract and reduce knowledge
about he has informed us that this works
so we use it also he said that when we
enter home a person who does that should
say
Allah oh Allah
indeed I ask you for good upon entering
and
exiting in the name of Allah we have
entered and in the name of Allah we have
exited and Upon Our Allah our Lord we
have
depended so uh this is amongst the the
Sunan or the the ways which the prophet
Sall wasallam gave us for leaving and
entering the home something we should do
since he has given it to us and we're
doing we're leaving our homes we're
coming in our homes on a regular basis
by doing that in fact we turn the simple
Act of walking out the house coming in
the house into an act of worship and
when a person enters the home as we have
described according to the practice of
the Prophet Sall alaihi wasallam the
prophet Sall wasallam said if a man
remembers Allah while entering his home
and while eating Satan says to his
cohorts there is neither shelter nor
supper for you here on the other hand if
he enters without remembering Allah
Satan says you have found shelter and if
he doesn't remember Allah while eating
Satan says you have found both shelter
and supper
Prophet Muhammad wasallam has informed
us about this so we utilize the Bas upon
entering and exiting from our
homes also another phenomena in our
lives is that of marriage Prophet
Muhammad wasallam told us that when any
of us gets married we should
say in Rel ship to our wives oh Allah I
ask you for the good that is in
her and the good that you have made a
part of her
nature and I seek refuge in you Allah
from the evil that may be in her and the
evil which you have made a part of her
character
so again one starts off marriage by
calling on
Allah asking him for the good that is in
her because it is for him it is for
Allah tala to allow the good that is in
our wives to benefit
us and to make our lives better to
enhance the quality of Our Lives it is
for him to do
that as well he could just as well uh
not allow the good that is with her to
reach us instead we find ourselves in
constant turmoil our homes are you know
a source of argumentation
unpleasantness and we don't even feel
like going
home that could happen just as well so
we start our Our lives our married lives
with this
Dua uh asking
Allah oh Allah I ask you for the good
that is in
her and with that dear viewers we're
going to close our program uh for this
segment we hope that the points that we
have raised especially in the area of
exorcism that these points have been
grasped because this is an area of trial
for
us to stay with the Sunnah to stay with
what the prophet Sall wasallam gave us
he showed us how to use Allah's names
use them as he showed us and we will
gain the real benefit that is there for
us with that dear viewers I bid you
farewell hoping to see you again in our
coming
segments
when you are weak and the road seems
long remember just remember seek
strength from
