What is Jinn Possession in Islam?
Jinn possession occurs when a jinn (spirit created from smokeless fire) enters and takes control over a human’s body and mind. This is explicitly acknowledged in Islamic teachings.
Allah says in the Quran: “Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:275)
Scholarly Consensus: Imam Ibn Taymiyyah stated: “The fact that jinn can enter human bodies is proven by the consensus of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah.”
Why Do Jinn Possess Humans?
1. Black Magic (Sihr) – Most Common
- Magician sends jinn through spells
- Remains until magic is broken
- Targets specific areas (marriage, business, health)
2. Revenge and Anger
- Person harmed jinn accidentally
- Entered abandoned places without protection
- Used bathroom without saying Bismillah
- Poured hot water without precaution
3. Love and Desire (‘Ashiq Jinn)

- Prevents human from marrying others
