to neutralize or to reduce the effect of the devil’s influence on the newborn. According to Prophet Muhammad (r), all newborn children are touched by the devil. He was reported by Aboo Hurayrah to have said, “Satan pokes his finger into every newborn child of Aadam’s descendants. They all come into this world screaming from Satan’s jab, except Mary and her son, Jesus.” 4 The reason given by Aboo Hurayrah for their protection is the supplication made by Mary’s mother at the time of Mary’s birth. 5 It is recorded in the Qur’aan: وإِني أ ُعِيذ ُها بِك وذ ُريتها مِن الشيط َانِ‏ الرجِيمِ‏ { “ I commend her and her offspring to Your protection from Satan, the rejected.” (Soorah Aal ‘Imraan, 3: 36) } The types of jinn that may suddenly appear in horrible, rapidly changing forms in the presence of humans are referred to in Arabic as ghool (pl. gheelaan). The Prophet (r) recommended use of the athaan to ward them off saying: (( ... وإِذ َا تغول َ ت ل َك ُ م ال ْغِيلا َن ُ ف َنادوا بِال ْأ َذ َانِ‏ ...)) “If the ghools appear and transform themselves before you, call the athaan.” 6 According to Ibn al-Qayyim, mention of Allaah is like a whip or stick by which the believer beats his personal devil (qareen) into submission. The qareen (literally, “companion”) is an evil jinn which accompanies each human, from birth until death. This type of jinn encourages a human being’s lower desires and constantly tries to divert him from righteousness. The Prophet (r) referred to this relationship, saying: ما مِنك ُم مِن أ َحدٍ‏ إِلا َّ وق َد وك ِّ ل َ بِهِ‏ ق َرِينه مِن ال ْجِن ق َال ُوا : وإِيا ك يا رسول َ الل َّهِ‏ ((. )) )) ؟ ق َال َ وإِياي إِلا َّ أ َن َّ الل َّه أ َعاننِي عل َيهِ‏ ، ف َأ َسل َم ، ف َلا َ يأ ْمرنِي إِلا َّ بِخيرٍ.))‏ 4 Sahih Al-Bukhari, vol. 4, p. 324, no. 506. 5 Sahih Al-Bukhari, vol. 4, p. 426, no. 641. 6 Al-Musnad, vol. 3, p. 305.
“Everyone of you has been assigned a companion from the jinn.” The companions asked, “Even you, O Messenger of Allaah?” and the Prophet (r) replied, “Even me, except that Allaah has helped me against him and he has submitted. Now he only tells me to do good.” 7 Ibn al-Qayyim quoted some of the early righteous scholars (the salaf) as saying that whenever this qareen whispers, the true believer unleashes a rain of spiritual blows on him by remembering Allaah, turning to Him, seeking His forgiveness and doing acts of righteousness. Therefore, the true believer’s qareen suffers severe torment unlike the qareen of corrupt people who is comfortable and relaxed and becomes very strong. Consequently, whoever does not punish his personal demon in this life by remembering Allaah, maintaining His Unity, seeking His forgiveness, and obeying Him, will be punished by his demon in the next life with the torments of the Hellfire. Therefore, every person must either punish his demon or be punished by his demon. 8 7 Sahih Muslim, vol. 4, p. 1471, no. 6757. 8 Badaa’i‘ at-Tafseer, vol. 5. p. 441.
