U guys know ne Churail or Jinn stories. pls care to share them.
Majority of the stories tend to come from Pakistan, why is that?
What do jinns look like also??
Got one about sum bad jinns.
My cousin was tellin me this one.
In Attock, where i’m frm in Pakistan. My cousins grandad used to sleep in the kheth in case some1 nicked his crops or woteva.
One night he was sleepin on his manji, and he was awoken to see some jinns dancing around a fire celebrating a ‘wedding’. My cousins grandad was given sum rice by the jinns, and he had them put in his choli. But when he awoke the next morning he looked in his choli and found a load of sh ite instead.
I just thought i'd get some information about Jinns also.
I posted it on here as well as General cos i thought i'd get a better response rate and more islamic views on Jinns.
And also where did the Churail come from (is ther such a thing)??
Attock/Chach is haunted because it was a battlefield in the olden days innit and Jinns hang around in graveyards and places like that.
There’s not as much nowadays but in the olden days there was **** loads, I was going to type a few stories involving my granddad up in one of the culture forum threads but then I thought leave it, people will think I’m bonkers.
There’s a Baba buried near our house, in the olden days before our village was blessed with “wahaabiyat” women use to go to that grave to pray and offer “mannat”, I’ve heard people seeing lights and stuff flying from that grave and then illuminating the sky, probably a jinn playing around.
After working on the fields my pops once slept at the “khu” (farm thing) on his own because he’d been working and stuff and some time at night someone started knowing on the little room thing, from all sides at once, and they carried on till my dad fell asleep again.
That places is haunted bad style, my uncle once says he walked in and saw a gathering of Jinns sat there, they were basically like humans except shorter and their eyes were further up on their foreheads which were bright orange and they were dressed like how people in our great-grandparents generation use to dress as, massive heavy shalwar kameez, big pagri/patka and big beards, my uncle just said “Assalaamu Alaikum” to them and walked straight back out, they replied, must have been Muslim ones.
One fell in love with a student from a dar ul-uloom in England, but they managed to talk her out of it.
There was this one guy jinn in Punjab who fell in love with a woman so he killed her children, cows, buffalos and her husband and then possessed her, he lived with her and made her observe purdah and all sorts (ghairti jinn lol) when she visited her parents house, they would offer the jinn food, she would sit there on the manja, nobody would touch the food but it would keep disappearing of the table.
In my village the local molvi saab teaches jinns quran.
^
such stories are to be regarded as mere 'fairytales'....
according to hadith, we humans cannot see the jinns....
also, from hadith, the jinn do not eat the food we eat, hence i dont know what food they offered the jinn....
assuming that a battlefield wud turn into a haunted place is not an Islamic way of thinking....
it cud be a hindu thought cuz they believe the spirir (rooh) wanders on the earth and hence can haunt a place....
nothing to do with Islam....

We cannot see the jinn..true..but can we feel their presence around by some supernatural signs?..for example I once went to a graveyard to offer Fatiha for my grand pa..that was like3 years ago..and I remeber there was this tree near his grave which started shaking its leaves fiercely.. even though there was absolutely no wind and other trees nearby were calm..that tree moved back and forth , shaking in still air . Now i am sure there ws no animal in that tree and this really haunts me till today. I am not saying it was necesaarily by a Jinn there could be a scientific explanation for that..but I am sure you people must have come acoss some things onc ein a while which cant be explained...
Our culture seems to have a fair share of Urban Legends, Ghost Stories which have been passing on by geenrations. Some of the common ones are "Oodh Ballla" , the witch with the backwards feet..Calling of spirits by placing a glass in the center of table and placing the fingers around it to call spirits, Use of Ouijaboards (desi version of teh board is also available) and so on..
Since I happened to be from Pakistan, I’ve heared so many of such stories. And at time live from the people who have experiance various things. These stories rose alot of unanswered questions in my mind, I was extreemly ignorant at that time. I still am but that of a lesser degree. I heared this lecture it helped me alot. This might help you people as well.
Surely Allah [swt] knows the best.

In the Qur'an we have 'Surah Jinn', so we have to believe in them that they exist. Despite we cannot see them but they can see us.

I think everyone here believes that they exist.

However, the witchcraft is an imported culture from Britain and only came to Pakistan when there was the British India rule.
Witches are not an Islamic belief. But more like children's stories.

Came from Britain? Nice to know that. What refference are you using to say this? Can you please specify and share with us?
In the middle ages, some 30,000 people were prosecuted in Europe (usually burnt alive). They all rebelled against the Church or they had some sort of deformity, as a result these people were accused of being a 'witch' or were possed by a 'demon'.
It was particulary common in England. I live in the Pendle Area which is in Lancahsire (next to Manchester). This was the most popular place for this sort of practice. We have a huge history of 'Pendle Witches'
Witch hunting was only banned in the 19th century. I've also studied psychology in my Health and Social Care course. The first thing we were introduced to in the college was this witchcraft history.
