As previously mentioned, there are two ways in which the jinn rule humans:

a) By taking advantage of the religion of Islam…  

b) By diverting humans to humanistic causes… 

The most obvious difference between these two is that the first does not accept the concept of reincarnation whereas the second one does…

I will cover the topic on reincarnation in detail in the following chapters so I won’t go into detail here other than for the purpose of clarifying our current topic. 

Let us first examine how they exploit Islam to rule over people…

This too takes place in two ways:

 

1. By not letting themselves be known at all
2. Letting themselves be known under a different name and form

 

First, let us take a look at how they can possess and rule people without revealing themselves…

The most common trait of those who fall under this category is that they have no idea of their connection with the jinn. They simply assume that all the extraordinary experiences they have are the result of their own superior qualities. Due to this they spend their lives looking down upon others, showing fake modesty when necessary.

In one of his books Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi states that the most important characteristics of such people is that even though they do not have sufficient knowledge or own any valuable works, they belittle others and constantly assert their superiority. 

In addition to this, the second most prominent characteristic of these people is that they do not accept the existence of the jinn, claiming “There is no such thing as jinn, the jinn are simply microbes” …

Paradoxically, they make such claims due to the ideas imposed upon them by the very jinn they deny!

This is a smart tactic applied by the jinn so as to prevent people from questioning their state and eventually finding out about the existence of the jinn, for this would indeed be disadvantageous for them!

Purely for this reason all those who are possessed by the jinn deny their existence based on absurd explanations. 

So how do the jinn manage to possess these people?

Such deception generally takes place by someone going into trance and a jinn claiming through them, “I am the spirit of Rumi!” or “I am such and such master/sheikh/guru” or the pen starts to write by itself “I am such and such great person” etc. 

Sometimes the jinn actually takes the form of that person and becomes visible in their appearance. There are other ways but these are the most common.

 

For example, the person in trance says, “I am the spirit of Rumi” and salutes the people there and then starts talking in a sophisticated language. 

When examined one may see that the speech really is different than the usual speech capacity of the person in trance… Hence, ignorant of the existence of the jinn, the people there automatically believe that they are actually in contact with Rumi or the spirit of some great saint!

Considering the fact that the majority of the people in today’s world have no knowledge on the jinn, and the attractiveness of hidden/mysterious phenomenon, it becomes pretty believable…

Think of someone who goes into a trance in front of you and then starts saying things that have absolutely no coherence to how this person acts and talks in normal life, and to top it off, they say things about you and your past that only you know about!

Hence, slowly but surely the people witnessing this start believing that they are actually in contact with a great saint.… All of these people usually have a common trait. Generally, they are all sincere, devout people with good intentions who are sad about not being able to fulfill the requisites of their religious belief and who are looking for ways of salvation, but who on the other hand, have close to no religious knowledge…

Eventually this ‘being’ starts to appear in the dreams of the people that gather around him and starts to reveal some of their private issues, further strengthening their tie to him through emotional exploitation…

In time he tells the people that no “revitalizer” (mujaddid) is expected to come and that people are going to receive guidance through channels like this…and then guides the people to do certain things…

He tells them to pray, give alms, fast, engage in good deeds and abstain from the bad, hence triggering their humanistic qualities and fortifying their connection… This is the first stage!

In the second stage however, he puts forward his devilish act. He starts imposing distorted information, things that can only be understood by those who have solid religious knowledge. And this is where the real game starts. 

He makes some people believe in the concept of Wahdat-al-Wujud (Unity of Existence)! However, what he really guides to under this label is not the true understanding of the oneness of the existence, but rather ‘PANTHEISM’. It has nothing to do with the Unity of the Existence! By doing so, he makes them believe that they themselves are ‘Allah’. 

Or, he wrongly narrates quotes and gives examples from Rumi, or other popular saints and scholars, to assert the concept of reincarnation; the belief of coming back to the world after death in another body…

Hence, he starts misguiding people to incorrect beliefs. 

The truth is, anybody with proper religious knowledge observing them closely can easily detect all the details that go against Islam. On the other hand, deceiving by using a pencil is a much more simple method than what we have already described above. 

With this method, the individual never sees the being that is in contact with him. 

He simply holds the pencil on a paper and the pencil starts to write by itself. 

At first, the being uses a nickname, for example he makes the pencil write: 

‘I am Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi! You, the blessed person, the traveler embarking on the sacred road to Allah, I salute you!’ 

This astonishes the individual who is doing the act of writing, the being then continues until eventually the pencil gets used to writing all by itself!

The pencil writes that whoever is holding it is a noble person, one of the leading saints of that time, and provides lots of convincing evidence that he is actually a saint. 

The being carries on with the act of writing, giving answers to the questions crossing the individual’s mind. 

In the beginning, the person does not know what the pencil will write. However, when he starts to pay more attention, he realizes that before the pencil actually writes anything down, the words and the short sentences first come to his mind. 

Following this, the jinn with a nickname makes him write poems, books and starts telling him about the activities carried out by various people in the past. Meanwhile, in order to gain the confidence of the individual, the jinn makes some predictions for the future. 

Let us give an example to illustrate this point: 

Couple of years ago in Ankara, a jinn came to a meeting where a group of people were present and he introduced himself as: 

‘The angel named Basheer-al Kiraam!’ 

He then made some future predictions, summarized as follows: 

“The starting date of the third world war will be around the years 1974-75 at which time Israel will defeat the Arabs and expand its lands reaching the Turkish borders. Turkey will manage to survive the third world war with very few losses and around the year 1980, a person named Mahdi will appear in Turkey. According to this claim, the expected Mahdi will be someone who has reached the age of 50 with no special qualities and that he will be speaking through the mouth of an angel.”
