Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

65-66

At this occasion, this Faqeer deems it necessary to narrate one of his own incidents. In the earlier days of Haal , one day this Faqeer was taking rest at noon that some a group of Qawaal (singers) started signing this Persian Ode of Khawaja Hafez near me very melodiously:

O Cupbearer! Fill our goblet of wine with your light,

O minstrel singer! Sing that we like this work of world,

We see reflection of the beautiful face of our beloved in the goblet,

Listen! O you, unfamiliar one with the perpetual taste that we taste!

[Hafez]

And when they reached this couplet:

That heart, which has revived (got Baqaa ) with Ishq (Love), never dies thenceforth,

It is registered in the journal of the world of eternity!

A spiritual trance overtook me and this condition prevailed for quite some time.

Once I saw a big caravan of pilgrim Jinn who were coming down from their rides on the blessed shrine of Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen Hazrat Sultan Bahu May his secret be sanctified. Curiosity arose in my heart to go near that caravan and see how do they live and do. I found them let-up in between the rows of the shops along both sides of the bazaar. I saw that they had laid their carts (beds) on both sides of the road like the shops in the bazaar and they had dug up long and deep caves under their beds like the dogs do. Male and Female Jinn were sitting on beds and their children are stuffed inside the caves. The appearance of their faces were exactly like the human beings. Only the structure of eyes and hands was rather different. I observed that caravan of the Jinn from start to the end.

Those people, who are aware of these Invisible Mysteries they know that upon seeing such Invisible Occurrences, a sort of nonappearance (Ghaibat) is surely experienced by the Saalik but he remains fully awakened and Conscientious (and observant) with total senses and consciousness. A slight absence (Ghaibat) is attained by the Saalik when he enters the Realm of Jinn whereas a nonappearance (Ghaibat) of heavier degree occupies the living-hearted Saalik in the Realm of Angels. However, at the time of entrance in the Real of Spirits the Arif is preoccupied by a nonappearance (Ghaibat) of a heavy degree like death.

Upon returning from the Realm of Jinn wakefulness is regained by the Saalik with one jerk and movement. For the Realm of Malakoot, it needs two times to get up whereas three times waking up is done in case of the Realm of Spirits. In such experience, the tyro Saalik is caught up in strange feeling of 'not sure' because he thinks he is wake but he still is captured in the world of the Unseen.

Jinn feel feeling of fondness with some women and do sexual intercourse with them like men do and in case, such women is conceived because of the sexual intercourse of the Jinn, hybrid natured demon stricken and Diviner (involved in divination) type children are born. The born and natural Mediums of the Europe are such kind of people. A Companion of the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam reported the him that he sees fire inside the vulva of his spouse. The Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said 'it is the result of the sexual intercourse of a Jinn'. That is why, in a Hadis, the following prayer is advised to be read at the time of making sexual intercourse with wives:

Allah-humma jannib-nee me-nash-shai-taani wa janni-bish-shai-taana annee.

O Allah! I seek refuge against the Jinn Satan. Keep the Jinn Satan away of me.

Baheeqi has reported an incident addressed by Hazrat Imaam Zain ul Abideen Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhu that the news of the Advent of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam reached Median through a Jinn. Detail is like this that a Jinn had a feeling of fondness (Ta-ashaq) for a women in Madinah. Daily, when people had slept at night, it used to meet in human form with that women in the darkness of night and had sexual intercourse with that women like men. Once it happen so that the visit of that Jinn discontinued for many days. After long time, when it came, the women asked him where he had been during last many days. That Jinn replied that he had come to know that a Chosen and True Prophet of God had declared himself in Makkah city and he had accepted Islam on his blessed hand and since, Zanaa (Adultery) is Haraam in his Shariyat, therefore, he had not visited her for that long time and that he would not come in future even as he had become useless for her.
