So far I have discussed about the phenomenon
of demonic possession- its causes and its
symptoms. Now a big question which arises is
that how should the person who is possessed,
react to all this? Should he let the intruding
spirit completely destroy him by surrendering
before it or should he fight back?
First of all we need to understand that Satan is
not invincible.
Allah (swt) says in the Holy Quran:
“Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been
weak’ (TMQ-4:76)
“Certainly, you shall have no authority over My
slaves, except those who follow you of the
Ghawin (Muskrikun and those who go astray,
criminals, polytheists and evil-doers’.
(TMQ-15:42)
“Verily! He has no power over those who believe
and put their trust only in their Lord (Allah) His
power is only on those who obey and follow him
(Satan) and those who join partners with Him
(Allah). (TMQ 69:99-100)
These verses bring out the weakness in Satan’s
schemes and tricks and also depict his
helplessness when it comes to misguiding the
pious people. Those who fear Allah (swt) obey
only Him and they know that Satan is their
biggest enemy who wants to spoil their Akhrah.
Unfortunately, those who have given in to the
temptations of this fleeting world and who
suffer from impulse control disorders such as
drug-addicts; compulsive gamblers etc- become
easy targets for demonic possession. Such
people can be compared to people who sleep
with their doors open, thereby, making it easy
for the burglars to break into their house. A
strong, closed door can prove to be a resistance
for the thieves, who may not be able to break it
open. Likewise, those who are pious and have a
strong will-power to resist evil cannot be
assaulted by demons. By maintaining Wudhoo
24/7 a Muslim can resist the Satanic entities
because the latter cannot assault a person who
is hygienic. They are mostly attracted towards
filthy people.
There are various levels of demonic possession
depending on its severity. If a target’s problem
is diagnosed in the initial stage then cure
becomes easy, like it happens in the case of
medical ailments. Even if the problem has
increased and become moderate, even then
surrendering before the evil forces would not be
the right thing to do. After all such evil entities
feed on the fear of their targets. Fear provides
them with energy, so not reacting to the tactics
of the devil and learning how to ignore their
whispers is a sure-shot way of thwarting the
devil.
In a nutshell, we should remember that Allah
(swt) is All-powerful and Satan is the deadliest
enemy of mankind. If we abstain from evil and
understand the cunning schemes of Satan then
it will be next to impossible for Satan or his ilk
to control our minds and lead us to insanity.
