Syifaa' "Possessed"

Kak Ly, Abg Fai and Mummy were from Geylang and picked us up.

We all reached home around 6:50pm yesterday.

I set about having a quick dinner before going to class. Ayah was carrying Syifaa'. Then Kak Ly wanted to let Ayah take his dinner so she took the baby from him. But Syifaa' refused as hell!

At first we thought she's still blur from her nap in the car or that she cldn't recognise her Ummi who has just had an image-changing haircut.

She kept on crying and crying, we thought, "Is she just cranky because of the fever?" She just came back from a $70 doctor's visit, you see.

That is.. Until Ayah realised that...

Right after we came home, while ayah was carrying Syifaa', Ayah did what he always do to entertain her ie Take her to the window for people/nature watching. Note that it was 6:50pm and dusk was approaching in approx 25min.

It is said that during this time the jinns / spirits come out to play before the calling of the athan at dusk which scares them away.

Syifaa', Kak Lily claimed, looked very fierce when she refused her own mother. It was like she had a split personality, crying at one time, fierce at another, then a bit of laughing when we tried to play with her.

Ayah then took an advice from his friend to read the athan (call for prayer) on her right ear and iqamah on her left ear and read Ayatul Kursi and all other verse from the Qur'an relentless until she fell asleep.

She woke up at about 10:30pm and started to cry non stop again. We did the above step again but this time she really struggled very hard for some time. Ayah thinks this is the part where the spirit was truly on the way out of her system.

My poor darling Syifaa'. Syafakillah and May Allah always protect you and all of us too.

We gotta be smart in reading Quran.

though there hadis from Rasulullah s.a.w. to read certain fragments of Quranic verses for posessed patients, it would be fruitful and better rewarded if we read it with an open mind and eyes.

That is read and at the same time ponder over the meaning.

For example in ayatul kursi we get to know that ALLAH do not become tired, so we too, by reading the Quran may withstand tiresome, as we have a patient to help.

In Surah An-Nas, ALLAH, tells us that the satanic qualities can come to us from both jins and man, so we better beware of some groups and types of human being, who do not obey ALLAH and do not regard Islam as important, for they are the brothers and sisters of satan.

We should be more acquainted with people who can make us remember ALLAH. We should avoid frequenting people who may bring us away from ALLAH by doing sinful and useless activities.

By thinking that way, we will be double rewarded for reading the Quran.

Oh.. i tot when u say ponder on the meaning.. i tot its just abt knowing and remembering the meanings of the words... but i see that its also abt associating the keywords into our everyday life.

That was how the pious people get help from ALLAH, i.e. by reflecting deeply of their spiritual condition with ALLAH.

I am not saying deep meditation, but it is remebering ALLAH. For example, when we see Syifa' possessed, we say in our heart,

"O ALLAH you have made it possible for her to be born in this world, and one day you will make her perished, O how pitiful is that. YOU have created us all and you make us suffer sickness and pain. O ALLAH AL-Rahman have pity on us. O ALLAH As-Syafi we turn on you when we are in pain"

That was also how ALLAH mentioned about Nabi Ayub when he was inflicted by the satan with dreadful disease. He did not complained to anyone, he always spoke and complain only to ALLAH.
I remembered that he did not even specifically asked ALLAH for a cure, but saying something like what I have quoted above.

Likewise in your coming trip to Lahore, please always speak to ALLAH inyour heart, in addition to solat and reading Quran.

Beware of people who could be the friends of satan.

Avoid yourself from sinful activities.
