A Demon/Jinn being a "Buddhist" in an Epilepsy-Jinn Possession

In his Evil Eye, Jinn Possession, and Mental Health Issues, G. Hussein Rassool noted the practice of “Ruqyah”:

 

Islam also offers its beliefs the opportunity to treat ailments with Qur’anic treatment and healing through Ruqyah. Ruqyah refers to Qur’anic verses (and duahs) that are used to treat various ailments. (G. Hussein Rassool, Evil Eye, Jinn Possession, and Mental Health Issues: An Islamic Perspective [Explorations in Mental Health; Oxfordshire: Routledge, 2019], )

 

Elsewhere, while discussing the use of Ruqyah to exorcise a jinn, the demonized person believed that the demon/jinn was a Buddhist(!)

 

Epilepsy-Jinn possession

 

[CRI] This adapted case report from Shaykh Abdullah Mushrif al-‘Amree (cited in A.A.B. Philips, Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips The Exorcist Tradition in Islaam [Birmingham: Al-Hidaayah Publishing & Distributors, 2008]). A 28-year-old woman complained of having epileptic seizures from time to time over a period of two years and sometimes she would lose consciousness. She was prescribed anti-convulsant medications (by injections). She still had very intense seizures and her family brought her to a faith healer. The family reported that the hospital informed them that she suffered psychological problems.

 

Comments

 

When Ruqyah was performed, it was obvious that she was possessed, and the cause was from magic. The Jinn in her was a Buddhist. She did not respond immediately after recitation, but subsequently, the Jinn presented himself and informed us about the magician who put the spell on her and the charm’s location.
