[0:10]muhammad brothers and sisters thank you for having me once again for

[0:24]another program with you tonight we weren't able to sit outside um

[0:29]which is a good thing for me because i froze last week

[0:32]um but it was entertaining even though it was cold it was

[0:37]very entertaining so this is michigan though we can never predict the

[0:41]weather um i was asked to speak about a topic that's really

[0:48]intriguing something a topic that um in certain cultures is more prevalent

[0:53]than other cultures and the questions and mysteries behind it remain unanswered

[0:59]to many people and what we're going to try doing this night

[1:04]is try to understand how the quran and the hadith dealt with

[1:09]this topic and get an understanding of how we can better resolve

[1:16]certain problems or approaches that we have in our community and within

[1:20]in our own lives the title of the subject is or the

[1:26]topic for tonight is understanding gym and before beginning with the topic

[1:31]we have to define what the gen is right before discussing anything

[1:34]what they say in logic is that you have to define the

[1:40]terms first if you want to speak about any term you want

[1:41]to speak about freedom you want to speak about rights you want

[1:45]to speak about happiness joy justice any concept any notion you have

[1:52]to define it first before you go into discussing it because if

[1:55]you don't define it you don't say what you mean by that

[2:00]term then you could be speaking about something and the other person

[2:03]who's listening to you or discussing with you could be understanding or

[2:06]speaking about something else so when i say that you know i'm

[2:10]looking for happiness in life my understanding of happiness could be very

[2:14]different from someone else's understanding of happiness so the question is what

[2:20]kind of happiness are you looking for or define happiness and that's

[2:24]what aristotle did as a logician as a philosopher he said that

[2:27]we have to define terms before we discuss anything and it seems

[2:31]to be something self-evident but we don't tend to do it a

[2:33]lot of times a lot of debates occur and the the two

[2:37]people don't understand each other they're talking about different things so beginning

[2:41]with the definition of jin now the word gen is not an

[2:46]english word it's a word that comes from arabic and in arabic

[2:50]the words have roots so you have root words and then from

[2:53]those root words you derive all the other words from it so

[2:58]the root words are usually three letters and the word jin comes

[3:03]from the letters this is how you pronounce them and the root

[3:11]usually has a meaning and that meaning is related to everything that's

[3:15]derived from that root so we have for example a word called

[3:19]al-janan this quran speaks about al-janan it talks about al-jannah it talks

[3:28]about a legitim and the gen these are all derived from the

[3:31]same rule the meaning of the rule is something hidden something concealed

[3:37]something that we cannot perceive or see this is what that's referring

[3:42]to so if you say for example uh janna laid with the

[3:49]night and the verb jannah meaning that the darkness of the night

[3:53]came where everything becomes hidden and concealed and we can't see it

[3:57]anymore so you have that meaning derived from concealment from hidden from

[4:03]something being hidden something that we cannot perceive or see or something

[4:09]that's completely blocked from our not completely but almost completely blocked from

[4:15]our senses and the word is derived from that so when we

[4:19]say jinn or we talk about jinn we're speaking about something that

[4:23]is hidden something that is concealed something that we cannot see maybe

[4:28]or we cannot feel something that's far away from us so that's

[4:33]the definition linguistically now if we come to the word itself in

[4:39]our the jinns are creatures that seem to exist alongside the human

[4:49]beings and for the longest time at least in the eastern world

[4:51]more than the western one these creatures are said to have interacted

[4:56]with human beings now whether that's true or not true we're going

[5:00]to see that in a little bit thank you so sallallahu what

[5:13]i'm going to do tonight is i'm going to bring the quranic

[5:16]verses that speak about jinns and i want to see how the

[5:21]quran presented these creatures to us what does it want us to

[5:24]know what does it tell us about them and how we can

[5:28]build an understanding of these creatures a correct understanding at least and

[5:32]remove certain misconceptions that we have now the quran spoke about jinns

[5:37]in multiple verses i've looked at the verses they're over 16 or

[5:42]17 verses i think it's around 20.

[5:45]it could be between 16 and 20 verses and that's a pretty

[5:49]large number of verses to be speaking about something that we might

[5:52]consider insignificant there are some things that the quran spoke about only

[5:57]one time but for the gen to be mentioned repeatedly over 16

[6:03]times and then on top of that there's a chapter in the

[6:07]quran called the chat religion a whole chapter dedicated to the gen

[6:12]so this is something that we can't dismiss easily we can't say

[6:17]that this thing doesn't exist it's not important it's you know fantasy

[6:20]or whatever it is no this is something that the quran did

[6:22]mention and it did talk about and it repeated to the point

[6:28]where one of its chapters was named after the jinns so what

[6:31]we're going to do is we're going to go through the verses

[6:34]we'll see what the verses talk about how they describe them and

[6:37]then we can open up the floor and have a discussion between

[6:41]each other like like last week so the first verse that we

[6:47]can talk about [Music] and indeed we created man from dried clay

[7:01]man meaning human the human being made of molded mud and the

[7:10]gin we created earlier from scorching fire this is chapter 15 verses

[7:16]26 to 27.

[7:16]and what this verse is talking about is talking about the beginning

[7:20]of creation how humans came into creation and how jinns came into

[7:27]creation that the humans were made out of clay now not that

[7:29]every human being is born out of click no the first human

[7:32]being was made out of this clay whether it's not that it's

[7:38]a mud it could be the composition of the clay and then

[7:41]what happened after that as the humans after the first human formed

[7:45]the next human came through a relationship between two human beings and

[7:49]they gave birth to another human being and then that's how human

[7:52]beings began multiplying now the jinns in this verse god says that

[7:58]they were created before human beings we created earlier so the quran

[8:08]is telling us that the jinns were created before human beings before

[8:11]the first human was made the jinns were already there this is

[8:16]the first indication the first thing that the quran is telling us

[8:19]about these creatures so they were created before us and if the

[8:22]human was made out of clay the jinns were created from scorching

[8:25]fire so they have a different nature we're made up of a

[8:33]physical tangible sort of hard solid uh thing whereas the gins are

[8:37]made out of scorching fire and the fire is not a solid

[8:39]so it's a different nature it's a different reality and that will

[8:45]help us understanding and understanding the verses that are to come another

[8:51]verse allah so this is to this is talking about the same

[9:05]point i was mentioning that god says we began creation of man

[9:10]from clay then he made his seed from a drought of base

[9:13]fluid basically the first creation was from clay and then the rest

[9:17]of the creation and multiplied through relationships between human beings now the

[9:23]jinns also multiply as we're going to see in another verse now

[9:28]if we go to chapter 51 verse 56 god says i did

[9:37]not create jinn and humankind except to worship me so we understand

[9:42]from this verse that just like human beings are to worship god

[9:46]which means they're responsible creatures they have rules they have to follow

[9:52]and they will be taken accountable for following those rules and not

[9:54]following them the jinn also shared that with the human beings so

[9:58]one thing that's shared between the humans and the jinns is that

[10:02]they're both accountable before god they both have to worship god and

[10:06]when you say that someone worships god the the scholars say that

[10:09]in order to be given a responsibility of worshiping there has to

[10:13]be a number of different conditions available in that individual for them

[10:17]to be taken responsible first of all you have to have intellect

[10:21]right you can't ask an insane person or someone who doesn't have

[10:24]a brain to do something and then take them responsible for it

[10:27]so you have to have intellect you have to have understanding and

[10:30]once we know that jinns are asked to worship god we know

[10:33]that they have understanding then the second thing you have to have

[10:37]is you have to have willpower to make decisions a creature without

[10:42]willpower you cannot ask that creature to do something because you don't

[10:45]have the will to do it and you can't ask them not

[10:48]to do something because they don't have the will to not do

[10:52]it so they have intellect they think they understand they comprehend and

[10:56]they have willpower they're able to do things they make decisions i

[11:01]think something is good i mean i have a willpower i want

[11:05]to do that thing so that's the second thing that they have

[11:07]and then we can conclude this from the verse that talks about

[11:09]them worshiping god another verse foreign god says thus we have made

[11:31]for every prophet and enemy satans from among humankind and jinn who

[11:37]inspire each other with flowery discourse in order to deceive had your

[11:43]lord willed they would not have done so so leave them in

[11:47]that which they fabricate in this verse we see that these jinns

[11:52]just like human beings become enemies of the prophets they engage in

[11:58]a battle so basically they're entering the realm of the human beings

[12:03]because the prophets that god sent were human prophets and when god

[12:09]says that there he made for every prophet and enemy satan's from

[12:13]amen among humankind and jinn it means that the jinn interferes sometimes

[12:17]sometimes they get involved as enemies of the prophets just like humans

[12:23]become enemies of the prophet the jinns can also become enemies of

[12:25]the prophets so we understand from this as well that they know

[12:30]about prophecy another verse unto god though he created them and falsely

[12:49]attribute sons and daughters to him without any knowledge glory be to

[12:54]him exalted is he above that which they described so we had

[13:00]people throughout the ages who took jinns and made them into deities

[13:05]now how did they make these jins into deities is it because

[13:09]they interacted with them did they see creatures that are maybe spiritual

[13:13]creatures they're not physical and they thought that this is something that

[13:15]we can worship or we should be worshiping it could be hinting

[13:19]to something like that and if you look at you know a

[13:23]lot of the old nations like you know the aztecs and you

[13:24]know even the ancient egyptians some people try to interpret or you

[13:30]know their hieroglyphics their symbolism as them connecting with other worldly creatures

[13:35]they draw creatures that don't look like human beings and they don't

[13:38]look like anything that we've seen so some people are trying to

[13:42]say that those people had contact had some sort of visions or

[13:46]some sort of relationship with creatures that were not humans and these

[13:49]might be agendas they might be other creatures that are non non-human

[13:55]another verse of jinn and human beings so god is speaking to

[14:20]them in the quran why would god address the jinns in the

[14:23]quran this tells us that the quran was not only revealed for

[14:29]human beings because there are some other people that are addressed in

[14:32]this quran when god says oh company of jinn and human beings

[14:35]did not messengers come unto you from among yourselves recounting unto you

[14:40]my signs and warning you of the meeting with this you're with

[14:43]this uh with this your day so god is saying did i

[14:50]not send prophets to you oh gentle human beings reminding you about

[14:53]this day this is on the day of judgment that you know

[14:57]this day was going to come they will say we bear witness

[15:02]against ourselves so they'll reply the humans and the jinns the life

[15:04]of this world deluded them and they bear witness against themselves that

[15:08]they were disbelievers so we have believing gents and we have disbelievers

[15:13]we have genders that commit sins and gender perform worship and the

[15:19]quran is addressing them here if it didn't care about these creatures

[15:23]why would it talk to them in the quran why would why

[15:27]would gabriel come and tell the prophet say so and so to

[15:30]the jinn so there's some sort of reason why the prophet was

[15:35]asked to speak to them in another verse i'm i'm going to

[15:42]cut down on the arabic because it might take too long reciting

[15:44]arabic and english i'll only reset the short ones the long runs

[15:48]will only do the english god says and remember when we made

[15:50]a group of jinn inclined unto you listening to the quran when

[15:55]in its presence they said here can then when it came to

[16:00]an end they went back to their people as warners so god

[16:04]is telling the prophet that when you were reciting the quran or

[16:08]when the quran was recited these jinns were listening to the quran

[16:11]and when they heard it they believed in it and then they

[16:16]went back to their people as warners they went back to other

[16:20]jinns and they told them that we heard so and so from

[16:23]a prophet called the quran or we heard so and so from

[16:25]an individual called muhammad and he was saying so and so so

[16:29]they were listening they were hearing they were addressed by the quran

[16:33]as well and they were they heard what the quran was saying

[16:36]and they went back and they told their people another verse god

[16:42]says on this is chapter 6 verse 128 on the day when

[16:46]he shall gather them all together he god shall say o company

[16:50]of zhen many among humankind have you claimed and their friends among

[16:56]humankind will say oh lord we have profited from each other but

[16:59]now we have reached our term which you have appointed for us

[17:04]so god is talking to the jinn again he's addressing them he's

[17:08]telling them that you have misguided some of the human beings you

[17:12]know the previous verses one of them says that the satans come

[17:17]from human beings and come from jinns as well so you have

[17:19]a jinn who can be shaytan and you have a human being

[17:22]who can be checked on as well so this is god here

[17:24]speaking to the gentility of judgment telling them he misguided so many

[17:29]of the human beings another verse talks about them going into hellfire

[17:34]for doing wrong chapter 7 verse 38 enter he will say god

[17:39]will say enter the fire among communities of jinn and humans that

[17:42]have passed away before you he's telling the people that are coming

[17:45]into hell after those who have been put already that come and

[17:49]join these jinns and humans that have been important to help before

[17:54]you and then there's a diagonal that goes on god then says

[17:59]in chapter 32 verse 13 he says i shall i shall surely

[18:04]fill hell with jinn and humans all together again punishment is the

[18:08]sort of punishment for both jinns and humans why does god keep

[18:13]repeating this why does he keep saying jinns and humans if he's

[18:16]speaking to human beings why does he keep saying and jinns as

[18:19]well always combining them a few things we can think about so

[18:26]humans were challenged to bring a quran like the one that the

[18:30]prophet came with and that was the challenge that god made to

[18:34]prove the prophecy of the prophet nobody can bring a book like

[18:38]this well this test was not only made for the human beings

[18:40]god in the quran in chapter 7 verse 88 says say he

[18:45]tells the prophet say surely in men if mankind and jinn banded

[18:48]together to bring the like of this quran they would not bring

[18:53]the like thereof even if they supported one another if the jinns

[18:57]and the humans together combined all their efforts to come up with

[19:01]the quran like this they will be able to so it's a

[19:04]challenge not only for human beings but a challenge for the jinns

[19:07]as well an interesting verse right now that we're coming to chapter

[19:15]27 verse 17 god says and gathered for solomon prophet sulaiman solomon

[19:21]were his hosts of jinn and human and birds and they were

[19:25]marshalled in ordered ranks god says that he gathered for solomon you

[19:36]know he had a kingdom and he had servants and he had

[19:39]all the creatures obeyed him from the animal kingdom from the human

[19:44]kingdom and from the jin kingdom so god is saying here prophet

[19:47]sallam had every one of these creatures working for him the humans

[19:52]were assisting him the animals the birds and the jinns were part

[19:58]of his kingdom and part of his servants so he had communication

[20:03]with them they were involved in completing certain tasks in that kingdom

[20:06]that the humans couldn't do and the animals couldn't do in another

[20:12]verse god says and on to solomon the wind whose morning course

[20:15]was a month and whose evening course was a month and we

[20:19]caused a fount of molten copper to flow for him and of

[20:24]the jinn some worked before him by the leave of his lord

[20:27]by saying some of the jinn worked for sulaiman al-islam by the

[20:32]will of god and those of them that deviated from our command

[20:35]we would cause them to taste the punishment of the blades so

[20:39]if the prophet commanded the jinn to do something that jinn had

[20:43]to obey otherwise they would be punished they would be committing ascent

[20:45]going against the prophet so and all these animals working for him

[20:51]all these human beings obeying him and all these jinns doing things

[20:56]so what was what were the jins doing what was their jobs

[20:58]what were their tests what could they do that humans can't do

[21:02]what could they do the animals can't do pretty interesting question i

[21:06]think now in another verse god tells us a little bit of

[21:10]their special powers a little bit of their ability and strength in

[21:15]chapter 27 verse 39 god says and and is a type of

[21:23]jinn and there's no equivalent in english so we're going to keep

[21:25]it as afraid just like we have the word kept as it

[21:30]is he said i will bring it to thee bring a whole

[21:34]kingdom to thee before you rise from your place truly i have

[21:38]the strength for it and i am trustworthy long story there was

[21:42]a challenge and a jinn was able to transfer a whole kingdom

[21:47]from one part of the world to another part of the world

[21:51]before you can rise from your place so before you stand up

[21:56]that whole kingdom would have been moved from one location to another

[22:01]that's how much power they had that's the kind of strength that

[22:05]they had so how do they have that power how do they

[22:07]have the strength philosophers for the most part islamic philosophers try to

[22:13]explain that by discussing their nature as fire as opposed to clay

[22:17]a human being who's made from clay which is tangible which is

[22:20]a substance which is a solid the human being needs to walk

[22:24]from one place to another right you know i have to move

[22:28]my leg because we have weight we have you know the body

[22:33]that we're living in doesn't allow us to fly from one place

[22:36]to another but jen's being from another material from another substance like

[22:41]a fire substance like a spiritual substance they're able to transport from

[22:45]one place to another without having to be limited by their legs

[22:51]and their physical limitations another verse said that some of the genes

[22:55]were worshipped um and another verse says that some people have made

[23:04]a kinship between god and the jinn so that god was related

[23:12]to the jinn or the jinns were related to god either that

[23:16]they were his sons or daughters or some sort of kinship so

[23:19]some people believed that in the past that's what the quran is

[23:25]telling us um when god talks about the maidens in heaven he

[23:32]describes them by saying therein are maidens of modest gays whom neither

[23:37]man or jinn has ever touched so no human has touched those

[23:43]jinns so basically they are pure in heaven which tells us that

[23:47]there's a type of relationship that the jinns have with one another

[23:50]and that's how they multiply in number iblis the shaytan was describing

[23:58]the quran to be as one of the gents so he was

[24:01]part of the jinn creatures in the quran god says very clearly

[24:07]that he was of the jinn and he deviated deviated from the

[24:11]commandment of his lord chapter 8 verse 50.

[24:13]so if this was part of the one of the jinn satan's

[24:17]or the head of the jin sayings and then i'm gonna conclude

[24:23]with the chapter which talks about the jinns and i'm gonna try

[24:27]not to recite the whole thing but it's quite interesting the chapter

[24:30]about genesis chapter 72 in the quran god begins by saying and

[24:35]he told the prophet to say to people say he commanded him

[24:40]it was revealed unto me that a group of jinn listened and

[24:45]said truly we heard a wondrous quran the jinns were listening to

[24:51]the quran and they thought it was something wonderful so god told

[24:55]the prophet tell the people that the jinns were listening and when

[24:58]they heard the quran he said what a wonderful quran truly we

[25:03]have heard a wondrous quran that guides to sound judgment so we

[25:07]believe in it and will ascribe none as a partner unto our

[25:13]lord so these jinns believed in the quran they believed in tawhid

[25:15]they believed in the prophecy of the prophet and they followed him

[25:21]and legend then began to describe certain teachings that the quran came

[25:25]with for example they say that we will not ascribe a partner

[25:30]unto our lord and he exalted me the majesty of our lord

[25:35]has neither consort consort or nor child that god has no child

[25:38]so they're believing in the islamic religion basically not having a child

[25:42]for god so that makes us understand that jinns could be christians

[25:44]they could be jews they could be hindus they could be muslims

[25:46]they could be any religion it could be atheists as well many

[25:50]different types just like humans have different religions in phase it seems

[25:54]like religion and creed is shared between jinns and humans so i

[25:59]wanted to conclude with this verse and um hopefully we have an

[26:05]overview of how the quran presented these creatures to us and maybe

[26:09]through the discussion we can begin going into maybe some more detail

[26:12]now i have to say that we don't have much information on

[26:18]them now god gave us some information he wants us to know

[26:21]that they exist and he wants us to know that they're there

[26:25]but it seems like he doesn't want us to become too preoccupied

[26:28]with him this is something like in one of the hadiths we

[26:30]have the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he was [Music] i'm going to

[26:35]paraphrase that he was told that a certain jinn did something and

[26:38]the prophet said no that jin doesn't exist and our scholars try

[26:45]to interpret that by saying that a lot of the arabs at

[26:47]least during that time wanted to blame a lot of things on

[26:51]the gym every time there was a problem every time it was

[26:54]a difficulty every time they went through some sort of hardship they

[26:57]wanted to say this is the jinsbo and the prophet was trying

[27:01]to push away that superstition he wanted to say that they're there

[27:03]but how how far can they deal with human beings how far

[27:10]do they interfere that's where he wanted to limit that they could

[27:15]interfere but not to the degree that most people think they could

[27:18]the women or the believers in general are protected from them so

[27:21]i'm going to leave that on for um and the prophet gave

[27:26]some prescriptions he said to recite certain things to do certain things

[27:30]to protect us from these creatures if they want to do anything

[27:32]so we'll open the floor for that inshallah all right so if

[27:51]you have anything you want to add you want to say a

[27:54]story an encounter with a genie you can say it you have

[27:57]an encounter no no i was going to just suggest that we

[28:02]all get ouija boards tonight after the lecture we can have a

[28:06]little experiment to see if it works or not sorry go ahead

[28:08]um [Music] also have i guess there's a controversial idea within my

[28:35]culture most of you not understand that agent can possess or can

[28:39]do so and so to create you to go far away from

[28:42]the snap or where you i was also told by someone that

[28:56]the people closest to religion and closest to god will okay well

[29:04]thank you for that all right so there were three questions or

[29:07]three right first of all you were speaking about um just being

[29:12]completely evil no good jins that's how you were told from when

[29:15]you were younger and what you understood of them okay so let's

[29:18]start with that um so the quran is very clear that they're

[29:23]not like that and yes that's true um culturally there's a lot

[29:28]of negativity associated with the gems they're always you know casted as

[29:32]evil creatures um they come and if you look at you know

[29:35]um the stories that you hear usually from other people it's usually

[29:40]a bad story a negative one an evil one so the jinns

[29:42]you know destroyed my life they did this they're harming me they're

[29:46]harming but they never talk about any good job or anything good

[29:49]any good thing that the jinn did for example serving the prophet

[29:53]saw a man they were helping him they were assisting him and

[29:55]obviously if they did that tonight they must have done that to

[30:00]other prophets as well and they could be doing that to certain

[30:02]believers as well without us knowing so sometimes maybe a jinn and

[30:07]i'm just giving a possibility here i'm i don't have any concrete

[30:10]evidence for this but we can you know suppose that if a

[30:14]believer is going to be harmed and that jen is able to

[30:17]see that harm he might protect him or she might protect him

[30:20]so that's possible so the gents could go either way either they

[30:25]could harm or they could be you know uh good creatures um

[30:27]that's the first part the second part was related to um is

[30:32]uh can you remind me possession okay um so can we be

[30:39]possessed by gents is that possible would we like to be possessed

[30:45]violence that's another question some people would probably want to be possessed

[30:47]no i mean some people get involved with things that try to

[30:52]bring that into themselves a lot of our scholars say that it's

[30:57]not possible and the reason why i say it's not possible possession

[31:00]itself is not possible is because we're made of two different natures

[31:04]there cannot be a possibility for something made out of a different

[31:10]substance to go into the substance of the human being so they

[31:13]say if there's something that will affect another or possess something else

[31:16]to go into something else they have to have a common substance

[31:19]so for example when i eat the reason why i can eat

[31:23]is because the food and my body have a shared substance together

[31:26]but a gin doesn't have that agent is made out of a

[31:32]fiery nature it's ethereal it's not tangible it's not it's not a

[31:38]substance so it cannot enter a human body it's not possible for

[31:41]it now what can it do well the human being has a

[31:44]spirit as a soul the soul is something that the gin might

[31:47]be able to interact with because they share that you know ethereal

[31:53]body is he able to possess the soul no is he able

[31:55]to try to influence the soul try to whisper to that soul

[32:00]try to misguide that soul that's possible yeah and you know at

[32:02]least being one of the jinn all he says is that i

[32:07]whisper to people so if we want to see how they function

[32:08]we can look at how we believe functions in the quran because

[32:12]he's a gym what does he do does he force anyone to

[32:15]do anything he cannot do that and the quran is clear about

[32:17]that is he able to try to influence you negatively and try

[32:21]to push you to do something uh that's that's possible yeah but

[32:24]possession for the most of our scholars that i've read say that

[32:29]it's not possible in the sense which we think that the human

[32:32]the gin goes into our body and we become like you know

[32:38]uh you know taken over by a gin and we become crazy

[32:40]our voice changes and then all the other stuff that happened and

[32:43]then there was a third part you're more influenced by or you

[32:50]interact more with them so the idea is that the more let's

[32:57]say the more detached you become from your physical body the more

[32:59]spiritual you become would you become more interactive with the spiritual world

[33:07]and be able to see things maybe it's a possibility yeah it's

[33:10]possible but how do you know that's happening um a lot of

[33:15]the times and i've said this last week our imagination could become

[33:18]mixed with reality so sometimes we imagine something we imagine that we've

[33:23]you know we've gone out of our bodies we're experiencing something spiritual

[33:27]we're seeing stuff with visions and stuff like that but a lot

[33:31]of the time it's our imagination because as human beings we have

[33:34]different types of faculties of perception one of our perception is through

[33:38]imagination another one is fruit intellectual uh perception to our intellect and

[33:44]the intellect is not just the mind it's also connected to the

[33:50]spirit that's the highest level of perception that we have with our

[33:53]intellect we're able to perceive let's say you know the prophet was

[33:58]able to see angels he was able to see spiritual creatures because

[34:01]he reached a very high level with his intellect his perception was

[34:06]able to see that most of us don't reach that level so

[34:10]most of what we can see can only occur with our physical

[34:15]eyes not with our spiritual eyes so a lot of the times

[34:19]what we think is a spiritual thing that we're seeing or we're

[34:21]interacting with most of the time it's not that it's an imagination

[34:25]that we have only people who reach a very very high level

[34:28]of piety and they're very rare that you know they're able to

[34:32]connect with maybe other creatures or deal with them and things of

[34:35]that sort and most of this is just you know probability with

[34:38]possibilities that we're talking about you're physical welcome to move from place

[34:51]to another the successor of prophet here and also another one from

[35:29]medina [Music] his father was the third day of the tragedy did

[35:56]they use the gene for this superpower because they have physical bonds

[36:00]so they cannot move with their physical this this thing within the

[36:06]blink of an eye so did they use the gins to do

[36:10]those okay um well what we can do is we can try

[36:16]to analyze and try to understand we don't we can't reach a

[36:18]certain answer about those but we can try to reach an answer

[36:21]it's not 100 correct maybe it could be correct it could be

[36:27]wrong but from what we understand i mean that verse about the

[36:29]jinn who moved or claimed that he could move the kingdom and

[36:32]then also then bethel moved it um within a blink of an

[36:38]eye now what the jinn was saying he couldn't do wasn't a

[36:39]blink of an eye the jinn said before you stand up from

[36:42]your place before you stand up i have moved it now there's

[36:48]something that tells us that there is power beyond the power of

[36:53]legit if the jin needed that much time to move the kingdom

[36:56]there's another power that could move that kingdom within the blink of

[37:01]an eye faster so that tells us that he didn't use jinns

[37:06]to move them he used some sort of divine power divine assistance

[37:09]he altered something in existence in order to have moved that same

[37:14]thing goes for imam salam you know crossing distances what the mystics

[37:20]call uh [Music] when the ground folds beneath you now this is

[37:28]all you know language of the mystics use they reach a certain

[37:32]level of you know spiritual abilities again this is we're not speaking

[37:35]here with certainty about anything we're just saying what these scholars have

[37:40]said and it could be true it could be not true but

[37:43]for example the author of almighty he was asked about tailor he

[37:48]was asked is it is it that how does a person you

[37:52]know teleportation in another sense humans have always wanted to teleport mystics

[37:56]say that it's possible that is something that you can do if

[38:00]you strengthen yourself to a certain degree then you're able to transport

[38:04]with your soul and not with your physical body now how does

[38:10]that happen it was asked is it that the body you know

[38:13]becomes non-existent and existent and non-existent and existent and so on and

[38:17]so forth so quickly that you teleport or does the ground physically

[38:22]become folded under your feet because it's like the ground becomes folded

[38:27]under you you cross far distances in a very short period of

[38:32]time now the imams were you know it was said that they

[38:36]had this ability that they were able to move from one place

[38:38]to another with that they didn't use it much only when they

[38:42]had to um but no it doesn't seem like that has anything

[38:44]to do with jinns it was more of a spiritual capability that

[38:49]the human being has not directly involving the engine itself to become

[39:01]to that level that you can move one place to another within

[39:04]existing physics related if you have that power it doesn't necessarily mean

[39:25]you're close to god you could be someone who worked on your

[39:27]spirit your spiritual side there's spiritual exercises that you can do that

[39:31]strengthen your spirit and strengthen your you know if you meditate that's

[39:34]one of the exercises you can strengthen your you know uh mental

[39:39]capabilities and your spiritual capabilities through meditating you can do it without

[39:44]believing in god just like you can work out in the gym

[39:46]build muscles or exercise or go you know to the gymnastics strengthen

[39:51]your body even if you're an atheist you can also strengthen your

[39:54]soul even if you're an atheist it doesn't have anything to do

[39:57]with believing in god now what a movement what a muslim should

[40:04]do is whatever that muslim does whether it's spiritual exercises or physical

[40:06]exercises the objective should be to get nearer to allah because that's

[40:13]what would make that action worth anything otherwise if you go to

[40:18]the gym for example you just work out or you only exercise

[40:22]without involving god in your movement then you'll the only reward and

[40:26]benefit you're gonna get from that is whatever you get from it

[40:29]so let's say you work out you build muscles that's the benefit

[40:32]you get but if you involve god in it then that will

[40:36]make you spiritually progress towards god it will get you closer to

[40:40]him similarly spiritual exercises are the same thing you could pray but

[40:43]your prayer could be pushing you away from god if you're doing

[40:47]that prayer because you want to show up in front of people

[40:49]so spiritual exercises such as prayer meditating doing a lot of things

[40:54]they can strengthen that soul but they don't necessarily move you towards

[40:58]god unless your intention behind them is a pure intention go ahead

[41:08]so black magic i've heard that black magic is the use of

[41:12]the knowledge of using the gin to get what you want does

[41:15]black magic have anything to do with gins or is that a

[41:17]separate discipline well you know when it comes to you know gems

[41:25]and magic and whether magic truly exists or does doesn't exist there's

[41:28]a lot of different opinions on this matter you know it's not

[41:32]a resolved issue some people say that it does exist some people

[41:37]try to magnify it and a lot of other scholars say that

[41:42]you know they try to diminish this effect and you know they're

[41:46]trying to say that um blackmagic is more of a psychological effect

[41:49]on the person than it is let's say an existential effect now

[41:54]does it involve gins you know to separate well the shaytan always

[41:59]gets involved in relationships right the shaytan for example if you have

[42:02]a dispute with your with your wife or a wife has a

[42:07]visit with your husband and you know anger comes in the shaytan

[42:10]could come and whisper to that individual you know increase your anger

[42:14]you know say this or say that it won't force the person

[42:19]but that whisper is there now that kind of interference is there

[42:22]and that could cause for example separation between individuals points between friends

[42:27]that kind of whispering doesn't exist now you want to call it

[42:31]magic or non-magic that's you know something i think that we don't

[42:35]really have any concrete evidence telling us what this is i mean

[42:40]i've read scholars who completely deny the existence of any type of

[42:44]magic and i've read some that say no there is some you

[42:46]know that people could do if you go to africa for example

[42:50]i have a lot of african friends in in iran they were

[42:54]studying and they are really into that stuff you know the stories

[42:57]that they say i haven't seen any of them but they say

[43:01]crazy stories are they real i have no idea i've never seen

[43:04]them myself but there are people you know on both sides thank

[43:10]you were mentioning the incident in the quran between solomon the athlete

[43:15]from the gym right so i've heard that the mainstream interpretation is

[43:19]that the agenda he wanted to bring a throne in front of

[43:24]solomon is there another information that he if you want to call

[43:29]it throne or kingdom it's basically exchange entertainable yeah in that sense

[43:34]yeah um but what's interesting is that i've i've seen one scholar

[43:38]now again all of this is just possibilities you know but it's

[43:41]kind of interesting he he said that he was suggesting that the

[43:46]pyramid is an angel for example revealed by gent that was his

[43:51]suggestion and because you know nobody knows how they were built until

[43:53]now as human beings we still don't know how the pyramids of

[43:58]egypt were built he was suggesting that the ancient egyptians had contact

[44:02]the pharaohs they had contact with other creatures maybe legend and they

[44:06]were able to lift those you know huge huge uh what are

[44:11]they called the uh the blocks yeah um and put them on

[44:14]the pyramid now we can add that as a possibility we're not

[44:18]gonna say this is what happened because we already have like more

[44:21]than 10 theories about how the pyramids were built we can just

[44:25]add that one it's an interesting one it's possible god knows yeah

[44:50]the one who brought it he was a human being and he

[44:53]brought it in less than a blink of an eye legend claimed

[44:58]he would do it in the time it would take a person

[45:03]to stand up that's true yeah so it wasn't him that brought

[45:05]it but he was capable of doing it yeah so he was

[45:09]able to do it but there was a challenge and the human

[45:13]was able to bring it faster than the gen which tells us

[45:16]that humans are capable of reaching higher levels in terms of their

[45:21]strength than jinsar so it shouldn't be hard to believe that yeah

[46:21]i think that's a fair analogy i think it is i mean

[46:26]if human beings we have a spirit inside of us we have

[46:30]a soul so it's not a material and injens for example they

[46:33]say if you want to call them the moment you call their

[46:35]name they know they're cold wherever they are in the world because

[46:38]they don't hear through the physical ears another limitation that we have

[46:42]as human beings having this body is that if you want to

[46:46]hear something we have to hear it through the physical ear now

[46:49]when you communicate with non-physical beings like non-human beings they're able to

[46:57]know you're communicating with them wherever they are because they don't need

[47:01]sound waves as soon as you because they you know when you

[47:06]feel something when you say you want to call someone it's not

[47:08]only a sound that's coming out there's a certain sensation inside of

[47:13]you that's coming out with that sound there's a feeling when i

[47:17]call somebody it's not just i'm making a sound inside of me

[47:19]i want to call that person that sensation kind of gives a

[47:25]message the spirit demands that thing and because the spirit is in

[47:30]that non-physical world and the jinns are the non-physical world the gender

[47:33]able to perceive that so when you feel you're calling one of

[47:36]them they immediately know no matter where they are and similarly you

[47:41]know a lot of people you know this happens to us and

[47:44]i'm sure it happened to every single person in this room sometimes

[47:47]you think about someone and you call them and they say i

[47:51]was just about to call you or i was just thinking of

[47:54]you right now it happened so many times and our explanation is

[47:57]that because you know we can communicate spiritually not just physically if

[48:03]you feel something strong enough you're able to send that message or

[48:07]that sensation to another individual and communicate with them so gins have

[48:11]that kind of perception as well so yes if human beings advance

[48:16]and they're able to spiritually progress then they would have that ability

[48:20]to move around or perceive things with their with results within the

[48:27]last year they connect with each other they have and sometimes you

[48:46]have a stronger spiritual relationship with an individual than another one so

[48:50]the more intense that relationship is or the more intense the feeling

[48:54]of wanting to know that person or talk to that person or

[48:57]communicate with that person is the stronger they're able to perceive it

[49:01]that's very interesting
