While explaining the non-Islamic methods the jinn use to possess people, we had briefly mentioned the concept of reincarnation. Let us now explore this subject in a little more depth:

Those who put forth the view of reincarnation claim the following:

 

Spirits have been created in pre-eternity then put into a physical body and sent down to earth to evolve…

However, not all spirits are equal in power, strength, comprehension, and the ability to evaluate. That is, they have been created unfairly, or they have come into existence on their own. 

Hence a life of 50-60-70 years on Earth is not enough for its development… So, after death, Spirits (!) live in a certain place within the universe for a particular time… Then they come back to Earth with another body and personality to continue from where they had left off…

When it completes its life it dies again, and goes to the “waiting place” again… and then it comes back to Earth and continues its development!

This goes on until it completes its evolutionary process and reaches its highest capacity!

Once it becomes a perfect enlightened spirit it no longer comes back to Earth. However, this time it continues to evolve in other worlds…

And this goes on ad infinitum…

For thousands of years, many people, particularly those in India and the surrounding regions, have believed in reincarnation (tanasukh).

Tanasukh is commonly accepted by people whose level of knowledge is limited and below average due to their brain structure and primitive thinking. What I mean by this is their capacity in this particular field is below the average. Being insufficient in one field does not mean one is insufficient in all fields. Those who have read about the structure of the brain in the section on the body, in the chapter on humans, will surely understand what I mean. 

It is easy to discern that ninety nine percent of all those who believe in reincarnation are in contact with the spirits (!) or more openly, with the jinn, and they get this idea from them.  

As I have previously mentioned, the jinn initially present themselves as the spirit of so and so and they display certain extraordinary activities to fool people and take under their control.

However, in the following stages things start to change and their real motive becomes obvious. 

The real reason behind why the jinn make contact with humans is to lead them astray, diverting them towards wrong beliefs and making them lose their faith. 

Because of this, they lead people into wrong beliefs, particularly on two main topics:

Spiritualism is the name given to all systems of belief that accept the existence of dimensions beyond the material realm, while Spiritism is the name given to a school of thought whose members deal with calling and communicating with the spirits(!). 

So, after the initial stage is over, those who are in contact with the jinn, or the “spirits” fall into two incorrect beliefs:

 

1. Reincarnation, in other words tanasukh.

2. Accepting the pantheist point of view as ‘Uluhiyyah’

 

I shall try to explain the first one in this section.

First of all, let us examine the quotations extracted from the Quran by those who promote the idea of ‘Reincarnation’ among the Muslim communities: 

These who defend the idea of being ‘reborn’ into another body have been fooled by the jinn and in order to prove their arguments more effectively, they use the verses below: 

 

How can you deny that the Names of Allah comprise your essence (in accord with the meaning of the letter B when you were lifeless (unaware of your essential reality) and He brought you to life again He will cause you to die (from the state of thinking you are only the body), and again He will bring you to life (purify you from confining your existence to your body and enable you to live in a state of consciousness) ... eventually you will see your reality.[1]

Explanation:

 

O mankind, how can you try to cover the reality of  “ALLAH” when you were DEAD, unconscious of your essence and unable to control your body,  and HE BROUGHT YOU TO LIFE; with the knowledge He disclosed to you and allowed you to administer your body… HE WILL MAKE YOU DIE AGAIN that is, cut your ties to your body and separate your consciousness from your biological body, THEN AGAIN HE WILL BRING YOU TO LIFE, when your biological body becomes useless your consciousness will transform into a wave body and move on to another level of life until Doomsday, AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL SEE YOUR REALITY; there is no coming back, you will ascend to higher dimensions and unite with Allah in your essence. 

 

As can be seen, the verse above does not in any way imply countless returns to Earth or returning to the world again and again until one is purified and enlightened. If that were really the case, then this would have been stated in this verse or other verses in the Quran. 

 

“You turn the night into day and turn the day into night. You bring the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living. You give provision (life sustenance) to whom You will without account.”[2]

Explanation:

 

YOU TURN THE NIGHT INTO DAY AND TURN THE DAY INTO NIGHT means, nothing is left in a particular state, everything is substituted with its opposite. 

YOU BRING THE LIVING OUT OF THE DEAD, you place those who are not limited by matter under the constraints of the physical world and body AND THE DEAD OUT OF THE LIVING, you make those DIE who appear to be alive in their bodies made of flesh and bones, i.e. you release them from the limitations of matter. You give countless sustenance to those you wish. 

As can be seen from this verse too, there is no direct or indirect implication about coming back to Earth again and again for the purpose of evolution!

However, it is most unfortunate that people who have been fooled by the jinn change the meanings of these verses according to their way of thinking in attempt to prove their claims.

In fact, when you get to know these people a little closer in almost every case it is seen that they do not possess the slightest knowledge on neither Islam nor the Quran.
