Therefore, we go to that well daily in the evening and light oil lamp there and pay homage to it and bow before it. In case if we ignore obeying its orders even for one day, it overtakes my wife and all family members face the music. This malignant spirit had made all of them its worshippers up to the extent that when that Jinn occupied his wife violently, all family members fall in prostration before it and cried for mercy and forgiveness. Seeing this I remembered the following sayings of Allah:

And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn that they increased them in revolt (against Allah) (72:6)

The aforementioned account is a living example of spreading idolatry through the devil jinn and evil spirits. In very old times, when the world existed without the blessed presence of the Holy Prophets, these jinn devils used to give so much discomfort and pains to the people that they forced them to make their idols and sculpts and asked them to worship these and they entered inside those idols. These devils kept on deceiving and cheating their ascetic (worshippers) and worshippers through invoking in them Untrue things by virtue of which they remained tied up in their worship and service and these devils took from them some extremely illegitimate and unfair and objectionable works which Mushrik people do. Hence a great disruption of cruelty and injustice had been made by these evil spirits in whole world and had been successful in building their idol temples, temple streets and pagodas. Each devil jinn and evil spirit had got a unique idol and statue made by the worshippers in its name. Some had got many idols crafted in their title. In Hindustan also, there were many temples and temple streets of the jinn, devils and the evil spirits. They were known as Devils.

Every years big religious gatherings were celebrated and sacrifices and oblations of different kinds were presented on their altar. In extreme cases, some evil withes and jinn and devils were of so cruel nature that even the sacrifices of the human beings were offered to them in order to please them. The Temple of Kali Devi in Kolkata is famous in this regard. A string of human heads was hung in her neck. Every year, human beings were slaughtered in its threshold which was later banned by the English. These days, bucks are sacrificed in place of human beings. Very big sized and hideous and frightening outlook of these idols clearly signal that these are the jinn, devils and evil spirits who got their idols crafted by the ignorant irreligious people and in this way a world became their worshipper and fell in Shirk.

Idols of Ganga and Jumna are worshiped in India,

Earth is worshiped and wheel of cart is worshipped,

Only Allah's worship is the greatest crime here,

In this settlement of the blind, homeland is worshipped.

Those jinn, devils and evil spirits who enter in idols and astray people are separate class. One of their another class are those who rise high in heavens and overhear the news from Angels and disclose those news to their companion witch crafters and magicians which they tell the people these news of the times to come and earn money. In this way, both these kinds of jinn and devils had barred the people from the Doctrine of Haq and Tauheed and had captivated them in the false beliefs and convictions of the Shirk and Idolatry. It has been mentioned in the Holy Quran that the Jinn used to bring news from the Higher Realm and disclose to others but since the blessed Advent of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam, the Angels have been appointed as Sentinel to keep a watch and Angels have also been appointed at different ways to Heavens so that there should be no interference of the Baatil in the true Mail of the Haq and the Messages of Allah should reach the Creation of Allah correctly, Haq should establish and Baatil should get totally eliminated.
