Sihr, Jinn, and ‘Ayn (evil eye)
My family seems to have some type of effects from all three, much of which has been confirmed. To be brief, some of the issues are generational (when a parent has an issue, it’s usually effects the children and so forth) and some are inflicted upon us by enemies (like Sihr and ‘Ayn), and Alhamdulillāh for all of it.
In fact, I know without doubt that the severity of the things that our enemies attempted to inflict upon us is great, but Allāh سبحانه وتعالى protected us from a lot and the bit that reached us is not half as severe nor as harmful as it was intended to be. I believe this is from the Fadhl of Allāh alone.
However, I vividly remember that as a child, I frequently suffered from nightmares and general fear and paranoia without reason. Not just any type of nightmares, but Jinn nightmares, and those make up most of my first memories. I had just accepted these nightmares as part of my life and nobody ever gave it much thought. They continued into my pre-teen years, and I would jolt awake many nights in sweat, paralyzed with fear, unable to move or make a sound for hours.
But once I started memorizing the Qur’ān, everything changed. I no longer suffered from nightmares miraculously, and I no longer felt that type of fear.
As the years passed and the enemies increased their efforts against us, many of my siblings began to experience issues related to the unseen, but SubhānAllāh, I never suffered a single day. Some days it got so bad that every single person would wake up with something uncanny having occurred with them the night before, yet I never had any experiences to contribute to the discussion ولله الحمد. Aside from a few rare instances, it’s almost as if everything would skip over me SubhānAllāh. If this is the effect of the Qur’ān without the intention of Ruqyah (as I had not intended it as Ruqyah when I first started memorizing), then imagine the effect with the intention for Ruqyah!
A common theme in all my nightmares would be that when I would face any creature or Jinn attempting to harm me, I would immediately recite from the Āyāt of the Qur’ān and they would quite literally disintegrate before my eyes while being in visible pain. This is something that many of my relatives have seen in their own dreams and wakeful experiences as well. SubhānAllāh, at times I would recite verses in my dreams relating to Shayātīn and Jinn that I had never even memorized in real life, and I would wake up having forgotten them again, only remembering them generally.
The verses protected me from the evil of the unseen world in my dreams and in my wakefulness, and I ask Allāh that they come to protect me and you from the heat of the sun on Yawm Al-Qiyāmah, as clouds or flocks of birds (as mentioned in the Hadīth), and that they intercede for us when we stand to be judged before Him.
