I was talking to a friend in London, UK recently and he told me a brief eye witness account of a jinn possession and exorcism. He said Shaykh Yasir Qadhi was showing them a scene from a Saudi documentary about magicians and magic where the religious police arrested a magician in Riyadh. They told him to do what he does when doing his magic, the magician then started whipping himself! At this point when the Shaykh showed this video clip a sister in the audience screamed and ran out of the room, and it took 5 big brothers and about 45 minutes of reciting ruqyah (Quran and duas) to hold this small sister down.
You can check out the video below, the sister started screaming and ran out at around 1:45:50 of the video (when the magician whips himself). What happened was that, the jinn was already in her body from before, magic had been done on her for years and it was just lying in her dormant. But things can kick it off or “activate” it, such as Quran, dhikr and in this case the jinn didn’t like the video that was being shown.
The video is entirely in Arabic, called “Kaydu Saahir”, meaning “The Plot of the Magician”. Its two hours long and they show a lot of stuff the magicians use and explain how they do what they do. But if your just interested in the part where the sister was affected its at 1:45:50 when the guy starts whipping himself.
May Allah (swt) make us steadfast and sincere in His remembrance to help us to protect ourselves from the Shayateen, ameen.
