Qareen- The Jinn Companion

Qareen is the name of a particular class of Jinns, which literally translates to “permanent companion”. It is believed that with the birth of each person, a lifelong companion or personal jinni (genie) is appointed to him, who accompanies him until his death. In the different cultures and traditions, this companion is called by different names, in Persian and Urdu it is called Hamzat, by Sanskrit Saia, and in ancient Roman mythology it is described as a personal genius capable of influencing and inspiring people. The concept of a doplleganger spirit is very old and most likely comes from the “Ka” (spiritual essence) from the ancient Egyptian religion, as well as from some animistic beliefs found in Egypt and Arabia from the time of the coming of Islam.

        It is believed that Qareen is responsible for helping our spirit to adapt to our body and our surrounding physical reality. Also, it can influence many of our decisions, choices or views. For example, if a person is brought up and raised in a Christian faith, but often falls or inexplicably exposed to Jewish influences, then his Qareen is most likely a Jew. The same applies to other religions, ideologies and even the lack of faith. Qareen is said to also play a role in our personal relationships. If we have a relationship with a person our Qareen does not approve of or like his Qareen, he will try to bring as many problems and troubles between the partners as possible.

According to orthodox Islamic beliefs, it is assumed that all the Qareen are negative or demonic (sheitans), whose sole purpose is to lead a person in a bad way. On the other hand, if our jinn escort is spiritual and positive, it can affect us for good by directing us in the right direction. Qareen can be affected by our actions or lifestyle, which if they are harmful to him, he would respond by whispering depressive and depleted thoughts, or would mislead us in situations that harm us. That is why many Arab sorcerers and healers have sought ways to protect against these beings and their impact.

The hadith mention that the Prophet Mohammad managed to make his Qareen accept his faith, and so the latter continued to advise him and direct him until the end of his pious life. In many cases of an established connection with a spiritual teacher or leader, it is a matter of communicating with a personal jinn companion, who presents himself in an acceptable form of man and guides him on his spiritual path. In the Arabic magical tradition, there are various practices for contacting this jinn to be forced to answer questions or perform tasks. An interesting fact for some of the sheikhs and fortunetellers, when they directly say detailed information about an unknown person is that they send their Qareen to talk to that of the client who knows everything about his life, and thus becomes retrieval of information, which on the side seems impressive and is considered direct clairvoyance.

       It is believed that after the death of a person, his Qareen does not die, but continues his existence, and in the case of contacts with the spirits of the dead, their Qareen, posing on behalf of the late and knowing everything about him, appears.©

    Jinn – The Hidden Ones

    The ancient peoples of the Middle East believed that long before man there was a race created by smokeless fire. Fourteen centuries ago, the Qur’an mentioned it in verses describing the presence of two sunrises and two sunsets: 14. He created humankind from sounding clay like pottery,15. and created jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.16. Which of your Lords wonders would you deny17. He is Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets. Surah Ar-Rahman The existence of two earths is repeated several times in the Qur’an – one inhabited by the descendants of Adam and Eve and the second by the children of Aba al-Jann, the firstborn jinn. The Arabic lore tells many stories related to the transportation of magicians over great distances for a blink of an eye, the achievement of invisibility, the attracting of innumerable riches, and the performance of amazing miracles. For many of these fabulous legends are responsible the jinn, who are one of the main characters in the folklore of the Muslims. These creatures are called with different names by the different cultures and religions, but this does not change their nature or the fact that much of the magic is based on interacting with them and providing their help. Not much is known about the exact origin of the jinn. Ancient legends speak of creatures made of primordial fire, inhabiting the earth together with mankind. They inhabit the world with their offspring, live in communities and tribes, have rulers and kings, create families, they also die, albeit with a much longer lifespan than humans. Jinn are conscious creatures with free will and with a clear moral position for good and evil, and some share our spiritual views and religions....

    Ancient Arabic Magic & Oriental Occultism

    The Arabic magic is a mysterious occult science with a complex history. Coming from the exotic lands of the Orient and described in the tales of 1001 Nights, it remains shrouded in secrecy to present days. Although it is closely related to Islam and its mystical branches, its roots can be traced to the pagan beliefs of the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. Subsequently developed and practiced by the Chaldeans, Sabean, and Nabataeans, who were called “stars worshipers” and were considered the wisest of their time. Pre-Islamic beliefs paid homage to many deities who were closely related to the seven celestial bodies. With the advent of Islam, some of these beliefs were lost or destroyed, and others were incorporated and absorbed by various early Islamic religious and spiritual cults. The great development of these occult teachings took place in the Middle Ages with the flourishing of Islamic culture, when remarkable and famous philosophers, scholars, and sages, including Al-Buni, Ibn Arabi, Al-Biruni, and Al-Ghazali, wrote and transcribed in Arabic numerous magical treatises and works with esoteric knowledge, astronomy, astrology, philosophy, and a number of other sciences for their students and the future generations. Some of them were translated into Latin, and a small part of these teachings passed into the Western occultism. From the whole blend of magical beliefs, spiritual and religious-philosophical teaching later is formed a complex system of rites and magical practices which in the Middle Eastern world is called with the generic term Rouhaniya that means Spirituality, and this term is used to denominate the Arabic magic. Among the initiates, it is also called Simiya or Ilm al-Hikma “Knowledge of Wisdom”. Those who practice these teachings are called mukarribun or “seekers of Divine closeness.” In the occult Western traditions, this...

Such amulet stones contain a wide variety of inscriptions, from religious texts, numbers, and astrological signs to magical symbols and characters, and intended to be carried in a pocket, wrapped in cloth, as pendants, mounted on rings or directly hung in homes for protection.

    Rue – An Herb For Attracting Good Luck & Prosperity

    Rue (Ruta graveolens) is one of the most well-known herbs in the folk medicine and magical tradition among the Balkan Muslims. Its use is multifaceted, mainly used to purify the home space and the human body from negative forces. Rue is a plant of Mediterranean origin, growing in places with a dry climate. Because of its specific smell, the herb is also used as an insect repellant, and traditionally at least one sprig is kept in the wardrobe next to the clothes. The rue was known for its protective qualities among the Greeks and Romans, being used to ward off evil forces and treat various health problems. The remnants of these ancient beliefs are preserved in folk medicine, where, for example, it is claimed that the herb successfully cures all heart diseases. Even Shakespeare himself gave the rue the unusual name “god’s mercy” because of the ritual practice of soaking a sprig of it in water and sprinkling it on possessed people. In some Mediterranean cultures, the plant is widely used in cooking because of its rich vitamin C content. Herb against diseases & evils: In addition to its many medicinal uses, the herb occupies a prominent place in folk beliefs and as a means of combating evil forces, mainly because of its smell, as well as the unusual appearance of its leaves, which resemble an outstretched human palm. This was reason enough for it to gain fame as a plant that protects against evil. Traditionally rue is cultivated in homes, near the front door, because of the belief that in this way it will protect the home and its inhabitants from evil eyes, magic and harmful spirits.
