Alhamdulilah, I'm a Muslim man... I used to be what you assumed I was, but Alhamdulilah, Allah has shown me the right path...
If we read Quran with translation, then i see no reason why one might wander far from faith...
And yes, I do believe in "Jins" because it's part of my faith... And there's no denying it...
But I was talking about 'mythological' creatures like "Churails" and "Evil Spirits" of the deceased... They've no place in Islam, period... It's all part of Hindu superstitious beliefs which 'immigrants' (Muhagrin) brought with themselves in Pakistan after the partition and now has become a common phenomena among our "Awam", notable people from rural area without any education...
I'm against these superstitious, backward beliefs...
Dragon is a mythological creature in Chinese Culture, and yet most Chinese believe in its existence, but we all know the truth... Same goes to Big Foot, Lochness Monster, Phoenix, Egyptian Amun-Ra, Baphomet, Greek Gods and Demi-Gods like Zeus and Loki, ancient Native American devil, The Tezkatlipoka and the likes...
Jins are real... Black magic is real... Satanic worshipers are real... They all are mentioned in either Quran or Hadith or both...
But Churails and Evil Spirits...? I respectfully disagree...! They're nothing but local folklore...
We often mistake hallucinations and mirages for supernatural phenomenas... There's a reason why travelers stuck in desert without water for long periods start to see oceans in the distance...
Now, this post is getting lengthy, but I think I ought to clear people's confusion regarding Jins...
The word "Jin" literally means "invisible"... We CAN NOT see one wandering about, unless we are possessed by another Jin which often translates into a vastly enhanced 'sixth sense' according to claims made my people who were previously possessed...
Now, I'm starting to get more technical but several physicists believe that there could be as much as 21 dimensions in the universe. And considering the fact that each 'reality' is consist of 3 dimensions, it translates into 21 / 3 = 7 Universes.
Notice something...?
According to Quran, Allah created universe in 6 days... And 2 of these days were spend in the construction of "7 universes"...
And Islam also call "Jin" the people of sky... And the universes are also refereed to as 'skies" in Quran...
Since these are parallel universes and everything is happening simultaneously, I believe that Jins are beings from another dimension and a man eye has no way to take a peek in their world beecause they practically do not exist in this universe, they are here while at the same time somewhere FAR... They, on the other hand, are advanced enough to trespass and even interfere in our world knowing that they're older specie than us and existed for far longer than humans...
I GUESS THEY ARE ALIENS, LOLz..!!!
Anyhow, so there's a scientific proof of Jins... I'm not sure, but I think Jins were created alongside Angles, and hence are much MUCH older than human race... Can anyone confirm this...?
Anyhow, there's nothing regarding Churails and Evil Spirits of the deceased... As I said, they are just cultural folklore and bed time stories to scare-off little children from causing much mischief...!!!
Besides, like I said, we attach everything with Jin's doings which is WRONG...
A distant cousin of mine had two accidents in his car... And you know what happened...? They sold the car because they thought it was cursed...!!!
And that's not faith, it's pure stupidity...! And I stand against it, so does Islam...
Islam has no place for these superstitious beliefs, period...
Well, this post is getting VERY long, so...
Good Day!
