Jinn, Black Magic And Exorcism - What Is The Reality?

[MEOC 1]

Jinn, Black Magic and Exorcism - What Is The Reality?


There  are so many stories of "Jinn Possession", "Black Magic" and "Exorcism"  in the Muslim communities. However very few know what the reality of  these situations are. Very often gullible people are exploited for  profit by charlatans who pretend to be religious. But what is even more  disturbing is to see some religious people carrying strange beliefs  about the Jinn because of ignorance, here-say, legends, tradition,  culture and "experience".
 
No doubt there are so many confusing questions about the Jinn. But  who do we turn to for answers? Do we go to "professional exorcists" or  to knowledgeable and pious Islamic scholars who are the inheritors of  Prophets and Messengers?
 
Allah (SWT) revealed Surah Al-Jinn to the Prophet (SAW) as  guidance on this matter. Therefore the forthcoming seminar on Surah  Al-Jinn by Shaykh Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi is an unmissable seminar for  those wanting real answers about the Jinn.

"Alhamdulillah I've attended 3 seminars of Sheikh Akram's so far,   and Insha Allah I will keep coming back for more! He was introduced to   me by my brother who attends his study circles regularly in Oxford. I   loved the seminar on Women scholars in Islam, it was a total eye opener   into what a Muslim woman's role in society is, which surprisingly (or   not) goes against many cultiural and conventionally held notions of   Muslim women. My other favourite one was the tafseer of Surat al Fatiha   and the last ten surahs, I will not be exaggerating when I say that I   truly found it mind blowing. Sheikh Akram is an absolute treasure trove   of knowledge but Masha Allah he always carries himself with the utmost   humility. I have already had a look at the list of future seminars and I   think MEOC is doing a great job in giving the layman an opportunity to   have an exciting insight into the world of Muslim scholarship with its   choice of highly intellectual topics. Last but not least, its a great   opportunity to meet new people of diverse backgrounds. Well done all of   you and may Allah reward you for your efforts." - Dr Fathima Shyma Fazal, Boston, Lincolnshire

"I recently attended the Tafsir of  Surah Nuh. Whilst I had heard much about Shaykh Akram, this was my first  class with him. The first thing that you cannot help but appreciate is  how the Shaykh hooks you with his connection to knowledge, in a pure  sense, there was no need to employ any speaking tactics to keep the  attendees engrossed. The Shaykh, made every point relevant, to connect  the text with our lives today and our response to get closer to our  Creator. Indeed the Shaykh mentioned countless gems that he mentioned  offhand but when contemplated on, really struck a chord in the heart. It  was also great that the Shaykh was very open to questions, however  sensitive, and tackled them head on, without compromising the principles  of our faith, exemplifying that Allah azza wa jal has not only blessed  him with knowledge, but also wisdom. I don't say this lightly, I  genuinely believe, if you have the opportunity to study with the Shaykh,  and you don't take it, then you have missed out on tasting the fruits  of the knowledge of the Scholarship of our time and land"- Umer Suleman, South London
 
"Jazakumullah khair for the efforts of  the MEOC for arranging these  blessed gatherings of knowledge. The  seminars I've attended so far have  several elements that make them very  special, starting from the choice  of topics themselves which cater to  the more profound needs of the  people rather than addressing some  superficial issues that seem to be  more fashionable today. Even the  content of the seminars and the manner  of teaching by Shaikh Akram  Nadwi are directly focussed towards  developing a deeper understanding  of these issues. In these seminars,  one gets a glimpse of the years of  learning that have gone into the  brilliant scholarship of Shaikh Nadwi.  Furthermore his knowledge seems  to be blessed by an acute  understanding of the needs of the Ummah. The  seminar on the 'Legacy of  Ibrahim (a.s.)' was exceptionally beautiful,  wherein, the Shaikh in his  own words confessed that he was attempting to  transmit, not knowledge,  but the state of his heart, to the others  present. While the knowledge  and the insight that one gains into the  Qur'an, the Sunnah and the  history of Muslims through these seminars is  invaluable, I personally  feel that these sessions are more than just  one-day courses. I am  inclined to call them gatherings of Remembrance of  Allah, and we all  know the blessings of such gatherings!" - Mohini Verma, PhD Student, Cambridge University
