19 Aug 2022video What does the Quran say against the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says al-Suyuti repeated Ibn Hajar's mistake, while the Quran rules the story out: the Prophet does not speak from desire and Satan has no power to speak in his voice.

21 Nov 2020video Does the riba verse prove that jinn can possess people? The riba verse 2:275 uses the image of being struck by the devil as a frame of reference the Arabs knew, like the heads of devils in 37:65; it does not establish possession.

21 Nov 2020video If a jinn could possess me, how could I be blamed for anything? Satan's own words in 14:22, that he had no power over people and only invited them, rule out possession: if the devil could physically prevent prayer or cause harm, people could not be blamed and responsibility would collapse.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Does the Quran say that Shaytan or the jinn can possess or control a person? The Quran never says people lose their will; it commands believers not to follow Shaytan's footsteps, which presupposes the will and power to refuse. On the Day of Judgement Shaytan himself says he had no authority except to call people, so he teaches and whispers but never forces.
