What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

There is no such thing as jinn possession, Mufti Abu Layth says; these are mental health issues, and exorcisms can be abuse.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth plays a clip of a preacher, whose name he does not know, claiming that people who spend long hours in the bathroom are most vulnerable to jinn possession and that jinn may fall in love with them, and mocks it. Mufti says there is no such thing as jinn possession and that these are mental health issues, then shows exorcism clips in which a man shouts at a possessed woman to leave her body, a jinn is made to 'accept Islam', and a girl is burned. He says the people involved may be sincere but that torturing and burning people is atrocious and will worsen their mental health. Mufti says these beliefs have no basis in Islam, citing Shaytan's words in Surah Ibrahim that his only power was to call, and ends with more mockery of the bathroom-jinn claim.

2:50:28

It could just be flat. So, yeah. Mhm. Right. Okay. Let's move on to demonic possessions, people. Demonic possessions.

2:50:49

Right. So, gin possessions. I'm going to uh show you a clip that was sent to me now. And correct me if I'm wrong. It's once again the same same person we had a few weeks back or maybe a month ago, I can't remember now on uh on the masala segment [laughter] where he was speaking about the bathroom

2:51:26

and where unfortunately the it can become a hands-on [laughter] a place where there's a all hands on board a hands- on deck. people. Oh, it was deck. Oh, you're spelling it with an E. [laughter] I thought it's the vowel I misunder mistake.

2:51:51

Mistake. [laughter] Yeah, you said all hands on deck. Aacha [laughter] mistake. Okay, mistake. So now this person was speaking about that. Now here he is with another person. I don't know if the other person is a sheh or whatever.

2:52:17

I don't even know this person's name. I don't know who he is. But he's doing this whole thing about gins possessing people and the the harm that they can do. And then they can also end up [laughter] a bit of the love the love can happen in people. So what this one let's see people oh one minute let me add a little bit of spice to that and correct me if I'm wrong the mash have advice and told us that most of the people that be possessed by gins are those who spend long hours in the bathroom those who talk in the bathroom.

2:52:56

Those who stay on their phone in the bathroom, those who sing in the bathroom, those who masturbate in the bathroom for a long period of time, whatever this by this little, you think it's minor, but is made 100%. If you go in the bathroom and you don't protect yourself, if you don't see that protection, you're vulnerable there for an hour. They're watching you on your own. We're protect your room. [clears throat] They're going to sleep at night. They're going to possess you.

2:53:22

They'll destroy you. They'll destroy your hygiene. They'll destroy your destroy. with you fall in love ashik people. [laughter] [gasps] But seriously people, you know, you go into the to the bathroom, you spend like [laughter] an hour in there and the Jiny is like before you know it, the Jin is like [laughter] the Jin is coming to destroy you as a as a lover.

2:53:59

This people this is the this is the problem. Now I want to show very quickly some clips of the problem with believing in all this kind of nonsense. There is no such thing as gin possession and you know these are unfortunately mental health issues but you know in the name of it what goes on.

2:54:22

So you will see here that oh sorry this is one example. [screaming] [screaming] I think she's doing leg raises, but

2:54:51

she just that gin looks chilled out. What the hell? Okay, talk about Chuck. [laughter] This is a This is a new take on So you can see there let me show you another uh example of that people now just one moment right so just so wait there just so we

2:55:29

can understand that look these are some cases where you have absurdities yeah here's another example but you know sometimes what's so bad is the abuse that goes on during all of these. Are you Muslim or a Muslim or Muslim or a kafir? Don't bully me. I don't bully you.

2:55:53

Are you Muslim or are you Muslim or are you a Muslim or you going to leave? Yes or no? That means get out. Landlords here. Get out. [laughter] What's going on?

2:56:17

Leave this body. Yes or no? Don't bully me cuz I'll bully you. You leave this body. Yes or no? I don't know what he puts on her head there though. This [screaming] I don't know what that is. Are you going to leave this body? Yes or no? Is that like something taste? Are you going to leave this body?

2:56:42

Yes or no? Right. So, are you Muslim or [laughter] this guy is just obsessed with you Muslim orafir? Right. So, you've got this. So, this is the uh Right. So that's another clip there. Another brief clip. Enough punishment.

2:57:05

This one also mashallah embraces Islam. The words of Allah, my Lord and your Lord and the Lord of everything. Mashallah. Accept Islam. Believe in your Lord. Oh, Jin accepts Islam. Jin goes, "Uh, do you mind? It's salah time." [laughter] Open the mouth of the mouth.

2:57:39

Open the mouth. Open the mouth. Open the mouth. [laughter] Right. So, Right. So, [laughter] anyway, that one, the jin got battered that much that he became a Muslim. Mashallah. [laughter] Do do male gin men also get uh do male gins also get circumcised upbe you know something [laughter] but here's one this is another clip where you know what this is actually very sad because this is you know this

2:58:17

this is the kind of abuse and nonsense that gets perpetrated in the name of religion that we're trying to help Right. So, you've got All right. Now, to be honest, I I would be terrified as well.

2:58:42

I mean, you see You know, he puts that in burns her as well with this. I don't [clears throat] you know

2:59:17

feel like it's tough for a lot. [clears throat] Yeah, this utterly atrocious kind of behavior. You see this is what happens people that you know when these beliefs are allowed

2:59:57

to permeate. Now I'm not saying look I get the fact that people may say oh we think we're actually helping them and I I I I I even I don't doubt that. I do accept that in their mind they do think that we're helping this person. you know that in their weird way they may be sincere but it's not on man this kind of like torturing someone like this abusing them burning them you know that poor girl is going to grow up clearly with I mean whatever mental health she's going through now is only going to be

3:00:35

amplified even if momentarily she thinks this jin has left her these beliefs are nonsense okay they They have no basis in Islam. The shaitan is not that powerful. It is very clear in the Quran that Shan says on the day of judgment in surah Ibraim that all I had the only power I had was to give you ideas like as in just you know just whisper and the rest was all you.

3:01:07

He does not have the power to physically cause death or harm or or beat you up or possess you and make you go sick and doesn't have these powers. Right? So this is all in your mind. But the problem is this is so widespread. You know, may Allah make things easy. Um on that there was another uh on a slightly uh here was a person who had uh figured it all out really.

3:01:33

So this this is how to do gin exorcisms. [laughter] [laughter] Ah, your fire gun. Oh, den. Oh, den.

3:02:04

[laughter] So, you could come back and see. See, this is why these things are so dangerous, people. [music] This is what happens people.

3:02:29

[laughter] I just had to put that in there. This is the problem people. This is the problem that you know this nonsense of the jin becomes an ashik Romeo Jin are you teasing me [laughter] it's like Jyn's like sir cha you're going to spend another hour in the bathroom [laughter]

3:03:05

Jyn goes I hope you've got protection otherwise he goes protection. I've got [laughter] he's like don't worry [laughter] [gasps] that's is that's the time where people when you come out of the bathroom like [laughter]

3:03:34
