Required lifestyle changes:
A common push back is when someone says: I know people who do not follow any of this and they are perfectly fine. It is the same argument as asking a smoker who got lung cancer to quit smoking so they respond by saying that they know smokers who smoked more for a longer time but do not have lung cancer.. same twisted logic.
- Understand that repetition for an extended time of Ruqia and Athkar is important. In this case, it is recommended to repeat Al-Fatihah, El-Nass, El-Falaq, Al-Korsee a minimum of 7 times each.
- Do not stop your Athakar even if you feel better.
- You Must not listen Music or singing. Music for Sheitan is the same as Quran for the believers.
- Do not walk naked around the house. Jinn have eyes. They can get creepy when they see too much. Say “Bimellah” (in the name of Allah) when you are naked or changing your clothes. That blocks their eyes from seeing your private areas. Yes, sometimes Jinn develop an obsession with humans.
- Do not let dogs into your house. We are not anti-dogs. It is just that they can’t live with you in the same house ever. Angels will not enter a house that has dogs in it.
- No statues are allowed in your house. Jinn reshape themselves and like to occupy existing shapes of humans and animals.
- Do not hang pictures of animals, fish or people, whether they are photos or hand made.
- Eat and drink with your right hand and say “Bismellah” (In the name of Allah” before you eat or drink because Sheitan eats along with you.
- Cover your mouth fully when you yawn because Sheitan gets inside of you through your mouth when you yawn.
- Enter your house with your right foot first; say “Bimellah” (In the name of Allah) because Sheitan will get inside your house with you if you do not say that.
- Recite, or at the very least listen to, Quran daily in your house, preferable while pondering over its meanings.
- Do not share with others that you are being harmed by Jinn or Sheitan, specially when it comes to narrating your nightmares. That lets Sheitan know that you are hurting and they will further hurt you more.
- Say before intercourse with your spouse (May Allah shield us from Sheitan and ban the Sheitan from enjoying what You have given us.) Avoid intercourse on the days the wife is going through the menstrual cycle. Menstrual blood sparks Sheitan interest.
- BE STUBBORN, every single time you feel being hurt by Sheitan at night, get up, make Wudua, and pray 2 Rakae’s to Allah. Specially when you are in the midst of your sleep. Sheitan may then wait for you to finish praying and then come back to bother you. Keep getting up, making Wudua and praying 2 Rakae’s even if you have to repeat doing this many times at night.
- Do not be a solo rider. Ibn Omar reported that prophet Muhammed discouraged men of living or traveling alone. (this of course applies to females as well)
- Do not go to sleep laying down on your stomach. Start laying down on your right side and then change your position to your comfort.
- Use a water bidet at home after using the bathroom to clean yourself.
- Take consistently honey, apple cider vinegar, ginger, eat dates, olive oil and black seed oil. Additionally, Take Indian Costus and Senna tablets. They are all highly recommended and effective.
- Apply dark Musk and Oud oil scents, these smells are the most hated by Sheitan.
- Keep your surroundings like home, office, shop, store.. etc. organized and clean and smelling good. Angels refrain from visiting dirty smelling places while Sheitan gets attracted to such places.
- Take cold showers. It is the command of Allah to Prophet Ayoub in Quran when he was harmed by the Sheitan. Very effective therapy.
- Do not masturbate in the bathroom, have intercourse in the bathroom, cry in the bathroom or go to bed naked.
- Recite, or at least listen to Surah Al-Baqarah, at least once every 3 days. It voids magic and ejects Sheitan out of the body eventually and out of the house.
- Do not throw heavy items or boiling water suddenly anywhere unless you say first “BismAllah” (in the name of Allah) as this phrase alerts Jinn in the area to avoid harm.
- Do not sing in the bathroom or talk unless it is a necessity.
- Always shut closed the bathroom door after using it. It should not be left open. Bathrooms are the preferred rooms for Sheitan and Jinn in the house.
- When you get negative thoughts, Say “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Sheitan” and then spit on your left side 3 times.
- Make Wudua every time you lose your Wudua state.
- Make sure to go to bed in a state of Wudua even if you urinate frequently or pass gas repeatedly. After intercourse with the spouse, if you do not shower because you are too sleepy, make Wudua before sleeping and then shower later when you get it.
- Fold down the clothes (that are not in your closet) in your bedroom when you go to sleep, instead of hanging them. Sheitan wears them when they are on a hanger.
- Prophet Muhammed Stated “Cover up your food filled dishes, cover your drink filled cups, close your doors and put out open flames. Sheitan cannot uncover your cups, open a closed door or uncover a dish. If you can’t find a cover, then at least cover it with the like of a wooden stick while saying Bimellah (in the name of Allah); a mouse can set a house on fire.”
- Download an Athan application on your cell phone, so you do not miss listening to it. Abu Huraira narrated that prophet Muhammed said “When the Athan (call of Muslim prayer) is called, the sheitan flees while breaking wind, When the Athan is over, it comes back. When the Iqamah (announcing the beginning of prayers) is called, it flees. When the Iqamah is over, it comes back again. It then whispers in one’s heart, Remember this, remember that, things that were not occurring in his mind, to the point that a man would not know what he prayed.”
- Do not ever watch porn or porn-like media. This is more important more than you could ever think. Porn will weaken you spiritually to a point you can’t imagine.
- Realize that social media can destroy your life. Do not share every happy moment on Facebook. Do not live in a glass house. Despite the likes and the happy comments, some people get jealous inside and harm others via Hassad and Iyen.
- Do not over stare yourself in the mirror or through selfies for extended times. Jinn will develop an obsession with you.
- Pray your 5 daily prayers on time. Avoid delays. Follow your prayers immediately with reciting Ayat Al-Korsi.
- For females, be quick to shower right after your menstrual cycle ends. Delays in purifying yourself after the end of your period makes you vulnerable an easy target for Jinn.
- Both husband and wife should shower immediately after intimacy. If it is difficult to shower because it is too late or because you are too tired and sleepy, then the Sunnah teaches us to make wudua first before sleeping even though you did not shower. When you get up shower immediately.
