In the name of Allah The Merciful The compssionate How to perform an exorcism, removing the jinn from a person that becomes possessed. All praises are to Allah and may peace and blessings be upon His final messenger Muhammed ( May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). We Ask His help, and seek His forgivess, and seek His refuge from the evil of our selves. What comes after. I pray that Allah accept this article only for His sake. The proof in the Quran that shows that people really get possessed is in the following ayat: { "... do not stand except like the one that the shaitan has touched."} Baqara: 275 And in the time of prophet Muhammed (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), he said to a person that was possessed, " Exit oh enemy of Allah. Exit oh enemy of Allah." In another narration, he (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said, " Exit oh enemy of Allah. I am the messenger of Allah. " The following information is from shaikh Abdul Rahman Kajajj, who has been an imam for more than 20 years, and has performed more than 100 exorcisms on many people that became possessed: A person may become possessed and overpowerd by a jinn for 4 reasons: 1. The person commits many sins. 2. The person laughs too much, and heedless of the environment. 3. The person is overly scared (paranoid) and gets affected. 4. The person is overly forgetfull and gets affected. These jinns that possess people are of many types; they may speak a variety of languages just like people, and may be muslims or of other faiths like Jewish, Christian, Sikh just like people. They also are of different sexes. A male jinn could possesss a child, in which case the voice would become deeper. A female jinn may also possess a male, in which case the voice may become higher pitched. When the victim becomes possessed, the victim does not recall any of the events that occur while being in that state. The jinn speaks through the body of the victim. The jinn may possess the person for a long period of time, even for years. It is recommended to record the sounds coming the victim before the exorcism, as the person will not recollect any of the events that occurred while being possessed. This way the person can hear himself or herself in the previous condition. In some possessions, the jinn would easily exit the body. However in other cases, the jinn will refuse to leave. The shaikh mentions that it is like an apartment that is for rent. If the jinn likes the place (i.e. the body), it will not want to leave. The jinn would prefer to stay in a body that is used to commiting sins. In some cases, the jinn may possess part of the body and move throughout the body. On exiting the body, the jinn may leave by air, i.e. through the breath, or by the flowing of blood. One can check the color of the blood that is excreted. If it is red, it indicates the jinn is still inside the body. If the color is dark black, the jinn has exited. Here is the procedure to perform the exorcism. The exorcism should be performed by someone who is experienced, from the shuyukh, that fear Allah. 1. Make wudhu, and make sure that the house is clean, and that there are no images in the house. Remove all amulets that may be on the possessed person, so it is free from shirk. 2. Then place your hand on the forehead of the possessed person, and speak close to the ear of the possessed. 3. Start by reciting istaadha (saying i seek refuge in Allah against the cursed shaitan). All the recital should be done loudly, and slowly. 4. Then prayers for the prophet (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). 5. Then say several duas asking Allah's protection, like " Oh Allah protect us from this enemy.", 6. Then surah fatihah. 7. Then observe the person, you will notice some or all these symptoms: a) Yelling , shouting, screaming. b) Yawning much or much laughter. c) Staring at you. d) Staring down. 8. Then some ayaats from surah Baqarah the beginning, at least the first 10 ayats, then ayatul qursi, and the last 10 ayats of surah baqarah. If one knows the whole of surah baqarah, then recite the whole recite of baqarah. If one is knowledgable, one can say ayats from different places in the Quran, like a dars. The jinn will at this point point will try to start conversing. Try avoiding conversing, as the jinn will try to weaken your resolve, and become strong. 9. If one does talk, one should only ask a couple questions to the jinn. It is recommended not to ask too many questions to the jinn, just a couple questions. The jinn will try to weaken the persons resolve by conversing. One could ask the jinn if it is a muslim or nonmuslim, and why it possessed the person. Then immediately command the jinn to exit the body. 10. If the jinn is a muslim, you can tell the jinn that muslims are friends of each other, and it should leave the person, as he is also a mulsim. If the jinn is a nonmuslim, one can invite the jinn to Islam. If it accepts, tell him that it is prohibited to possess someone. If it rejects, then tell it it must leave. 11. The jinn will come up with excuses on why it can't leave. Most of the time these excuses are usually lies. The jinn might say something like that it doesn't have food, and it will go hungry if it leaves. For this excuse one could tell the jinn that it could eat the bones that is thrown out by the people. It might also say that it is afraid of being harmed for some reason. One could then tell the jinn that it can recite ayatul kursi or some other ayats for protection. It might say that it has no place to go. One could then tell the jinn that it could go the masjid, namely the minaret of the masjid, and be with company of the pious jinns. 12. The jinn may also threaten to kill or harm family members if it is not left alone. This is a lie, and the person performing the exorcism should tell the jinn, that if it claims that it will kill or harm someone else, why doesn't it harm or kill me who is right in front of it. 13. One should continuously recite ayats from Quran, as it works like a laser in expelling the jinn. 14. Some of the jinns are peaceful, some strong, some want to fight, some are knowledgable, some are ignorant, just like humans. 15. If the jinn does not know how to exit, tell him to listen, and command him to exit with the breath. One could also put a needle on the tip of the finger, and observe the color of the blood. 16. To check if the jinn has exited, recite ayats from the Quran. If the jinn is still present, you will notice the sysmptoms mentioned in 7. If the jinn has left, the person would awake and be conscious and talk normally. 17. In the case the jinn still has not left, one should start beating the possessed person in two places: Either the palms of the hands, or the soles of the feet. One should hit these two places with a stick or rod until the jinn leaves. The possessed person will not feel the aftereffects of the beating in these two places afterwards. 18. Keep reciting the Quran until it exits. 19. In some cases, the jinn may come back and repossess the person. In this case tell the person to make wudhu immediately, recite ayats from Quran, praying, repent to allah, and dhikr, to prevent the jinn from reposessing the person afterwards, and protecting himself. 20. In some cases the person becomes possessed bacause of sihr (a magic spell), in this case the person may show symptoms of crying, or vomiting, or stomach aches. In this case bring some water, recite some ayats and duas on the water, and tell the person to drink the water. Take some black seed oil (Alhabbatu Sauda), mix it with honey, and give it to the person to drink, two spoonfulls daily. 21. The person should be in a program to pray on regular basis, and say much dhikrs on a daily basis, and not to listen to music, avoid backbiting, avoid movies, and other things that make a person susceptible to the jinn.

All praises and glory be to Allah, I bear witness that there is no god except Him. I seek His forgiveness and repent to Him.
