How Can We Protect Ourselves From the Evil of Jinn
|
Question:
I am blind and I live by myself; every night, jinn come and I become frightened. Now, when I take my copy of the Qur'aan and put it down in a certain way, they go away. Some people say that I am debasing the Qur'aan by the way I put it down. Please advise me.

Answer:
You must remember Allaah Almighty before going to sleep by reading Ayat Al-Kursi, Surat Al-Ikhlas, and the last two chapters (Surah) of the Qur'aan. You should also say the following two supplications, three times each, both in the morning and in the evening: "I seek refuge in Allaah's perfect Words from the evil that He has created." "In the name of Allaah, by whose name nothing is harmed, neither in the earth nor in the sky, and He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing." By doing so, you will, if Allaah wills, be protected from jinn. You should not however, use a copy of the Qur'aan in any way that may debase it. We ask Allaah Almighty to cure you and to protect us all from Shaytaan.
With Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
May Allaah send peace and blessings on Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
