21 Facts About Jinns According to the Islam

facts about jinns

We are all afraid of the unknown and the unseen to the degree that people almost don’t say the words out of fear of being…I’m really not sure what they think will happen.


Unlike Voldemort, however, we could dare to speak their names aloud and not worry, about the scratching sounds that come from the kitchen. In an attempt to help you overcome your unusual fear of that which we don’t understand, we bring to you some facts about Jinns from the Quran & Sunnah.

Knowledge is power after all.

  • Jinns are made up of a smokeless mix of fires, just like energy. This would explain most of the horror movies detecting demons in the attic with an electromagnetic field (EMF) meter.
  • Jinns have no original shape and have the ability to take the shape of anything. They tend to take the shape of Dogs and Snakes or of something that terrifies humans, although they don’t actually look that way. So next time you think your hanging coat looked like a terrifying figure, just laugh it off.
  • Jinns live in a parallel universe/dimension, giving them the ability to see into our dimension while being invisible to the human eye.
  • We can only see Jinns if and when they want us to see them.
  • Jinns can appear in the form of dead people as well. Ghosts and spirits don’t exist; they are actually Jinns taking the shape of dead people. In Islam dead people cannot come back to this world, they move on to the next and never look back. Something we should learn.
  • Jinns live like us; they eat, drink and marry just like we do.
  • Jinns travel in the speed of light. That is 2340 km in milliseconds, so basically they could teleport o_0
  • Jinns have the strength of 40/50/60 human men. It must be their healthy diet.
  • Jinns could turn mass into energy and back into mass. E=mc^2. Einstein knew what he was talking about apparently. This also explains the money I keep losing 😛
  • Although Jinns are physically stronger, they aren’t intellectually stronger than humans. Which is why, Iblees was asked to bow down to Adam.
  • This also explains why Jinns have an inferiority complex to us because we are more knowledgeable than them and so; their main mission in life is to destroy our faith.
  • Jinns live much longer than us, thousands and thousands of years. I’d mess with humans too with that kind of time in my hands.
  • There are different types of Jinns. Each type has a different strength or ability.
  • Jinns can run through you like your blood does and give you thoughts.
  • Jinns eat our leftovers like the bones of fish and chicken etc. Its really not scary, just think of it as a pet.
  • There are Muslim and Non-muslim Jinn. Muslim Jinn don’t harm us. It’s the non-Muslim jinn who harm us.
  • Non-Muslim Jinns are attracted to filth, filthy actions and filthy places. Its time to stock up on some hygiene products.
  • Only Prophet Sulaiman was given the power to control Jinn and he is the only one. So yeah, your friendly neighborhood magician is lying to you.
  • Black magic (Sihr) is done by a magician communicating with the Jinn, by asking him for favors and in return worshipping him instead of Allah.
  • Magicians have to do Kufr and Shirk by doing sacrilegious and humiliating things, so that the Jinn can in return do the magician a favor.
  • When you do magic, you sell your soul to the Jinn, automatically kicking you out of the fold of Islam, since you cannot be a worshipper of Allah at the same time.

Once it Turns Black, It Never Goes Back

Or does it?


Just when things seem to be going really well with your plant, you come back from a weeklong holiday to a plant that has given up on life. As depressing as those black stems and leaves may be, don’t give up just yet. There are a few ways to determine if your plant has a living chance.P08_1609_Gardenia_Deficiency_0

Signs: Yellowing and softening leaves.
Problem: You’re feeding the plant too much water.
Solution: To find out how often to water the plant, check the soil– if it’s still damp or wet, you don’t have to water yet. If it’s dry, it needs to be watered. Also make sure the pot has proper drainage holes in the bottom, sometimes what the pot provides isn’t enough.

Autumn-Leaves-3Signs: Brown, crispy leaves. Leaves that are falling off.
Problem: You’re not watering the plant enough.
Solution: Again, get a feel of the water in the soil. Remember every plant has a different requirement, and you need to get a feel of yours.

poets_laurel_leaves_aspidiotusSigns: Fine webbing on the plant and tiny insects.
Problem: You’ve got pests.
Solution: Pests that generally invade houseplants are mites, scales and whiteflies. These teeny insects can spread from infected plants to healthy ones, so make sure to separate a sick one as soon as you notice the infection.

Dead_LeafSigns: Worn-out leaves and decreasing soil levels.
Problem: Malnutrition
Solution: Potted plants live in limited amount of soil, and the nutrients in that soil fade in time. Some dirt gets washed out of the pot each time you water the plant. The simplest solution is to add new potting soil by lifting the plant and the root completely and adding a little soil to the bottom, or by simply adding a thin layer to the top of the soil.

yellow_and_green_leaf_by_tash11_stockSigns: Burnt, yellowing leaves.
Problem: Too much sunlight.
Solution: You are going to need to change the amount of light your plant is getting. Especially if you just trimmed the stems, you have to give it around half of the suggested light for that plant type until it shows new growth. You can also test out different windows around the house to find the perfect spot to make your plant happy.

Help! My plant is in a coma!

The extra mile…

Humidity: Remember that most plants like humidity. And we just don’t have that here in Riyadh. Have no fear! You can instead place a pan filled with gravel underneath your plant. Add a little water to the pan (make sure the water doesn’t go above the gravel). As the water evaporates, it will increase the humidity around your plant.

Nutrients: Plants, like people, need proper nutrition to stay healthy. To give your plant a boost, add used teabags in your potting soil or empty the tea leaves directly into the pot. You can also add a 1/2-inch layer of used coffee grounds in the soil.

When All Else Fails

Step 1: Pinch a small part of the dying plant and look for a green and slightly moist tip. If you find any, then breathe, there is hope.

Step 2: If you find a dry colorless stem, it’s time to prepare a memorial service for your late plant.

Step 3: Visit Sultan Gardens to buy a new indoor plant which can survive Riyadh’s harsh weather. Just ask the shopkeeper for some advice and he will most probably give you what suits you best.

And… you can always just get a plastic one that would last forever.

Post Ramadan Nutritional Habits That You Need To Know

In Ramadan, the time that we spent to rejuvenate ourselves with food was quite limited. The whole day we would go through without any fuel and when it came to iftar we indulged in the worst kinds of foods because we were craving everything created on earth.


Lets not continue the bad habits from the previous month and instead try and fix what we might have done. Hold on to that self-discipline and awareness Ramadan brought with it, and carry on your efforts to both satisfy your body and your soul in the correct way so that you may take something with you through the rest of the year.

With all the family gatherings and invites, it DOES become very difficult to be able to manage what you’re eating and when, so we put together a few tips and tricks for those continuing to fast in Shawwal to help you stay healthy during this month.

suhoor article

Don’t forget to continue waking up for Suhoor, just because Ramadan, ended doesn’t mean we neglect the sunnah of suhoor before our fast. Suhoor needs to be wholesome to provide enough energy to last during the long hours of fasting. NEVER EVER EVER skip suhoor. Your body needs as many meals as possible to stay healthy.

  • Fruits and vegetables: That are rich in fiber are essentials during fasting as they increase the feeling of fullness and help prevent constipation. They also contain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that are vital for good health.
  • Complex carbs: High-fiber carbohydrate foods like brown rice bread take longer to digest, helping to sustain energy levels longer.
  • Protein: Chicken, fish and dairy products are a great source of protein while limiting your fat intake. Furthermore, they help repair and build body tissue, and build up your immune system.
  • Dairy products: Consuming high-calcium dairy products also helps maintain  strong bones. Some dairy products like cottage cheese are high in Casein which slows down the digestion of food through out the day, providing you with a constant source of energy keeping you full longer.

 

iftar article

Iftar is the time you replenish energy levels so every effort should be made to consume foods from all major food groups:

  • Fruit and vegetables: Besides being an excellent source of energy, dates are also rich in potassium – helping muscles and nerves to function well. Filling up on fruits and vegetables with good water content will help re-hydrate and re-energize you.
  • Complex carbs: Whole meal bread, brown rice or wholegrain noodles are complex carbohydrates that provide the body with energy, fiber and minerals providing more stable and sustainable energy levels.
  • Protein: Incorporate protein rich sources such as meat, chicken, fish, eggs, legumes and dairy products.

**The most commonly consumed foods by Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) were milk, dates, lamb/mutton and oats. Healthy foods mentioned in the Holy Qur’an are fruit and vegetables, such as olives, onions, cucumber, figs, dates, grapes as well as pulses such as lentils. **

Tips:

  • Bake your samboosas instead of frying or invest in an air fryer
  • Have dates, fruits, milkshakes and smoothies instead of all that sugary food
  • Make healthier alternatives to unhealthy food by substituting artificial sugars and flour.
  • For this summer make ‘nice-cream’ and top it with fresh fruits.
  • Make fruit popsicles with fruit juice and chopped fruits to give you a cooling hydration.

The month of spirituality, self-control and will-power is finally here. Although, every year we promise ourselves, that this Ramadan is going to be different and that we aren’t going to reach for those fried samboosas this time… who are we really kidding?

But this year we have to put a little more effort into that said “will-power” and reduce what’s bad for us (in turn making fasting actually difficult) and increasing what will really nourish our bodies. We don’t believe in cutting something out cold turkey, its about bringing balance into our lives again. So take advantage of this Ramadan really practice self control and discipline, which is so readily available in this holy month, so that it may reflect upon the way we also practice or faith and help us through our nights of worship.

1. Plan ahead of time

Planning ahead of time will make it much easier to follow through with a healthy diet. Put together a day to day meal plan along with a grocery list so that you’re fully prepared and you don’t face any reasons to call quits on staying healthy. Avoid the fried foods, processed foods, simple carbs. These are foods we should be avoiding through out the year, but especially in Ramadan we have to steer away from them, since most of our Ramadan dishes are loaded with these kinds of foods. Fried, processed foods, simple carbs, and sugary drinks or foods will make you sluggish and lazy which will most probably be the reason why you can’t go pray Taraweeh, as well as give you an upset stomach. So opt for complex carbs, vegetables, proteins and baked or grilled foods to nourish your body.

3. Have foods that are hydrating

ezgif-2558749008

As always, Drink Drink Drink!! Reach out for the water jug instead of that vimto. Make sure to add foods that have high water content like vegetables and fruits. You can also add some color and glamour to your table by make your self some infused water or make yourself some fruit smoothie popsicles the night before and indulge in that sweet, delicious cool refreshment to your soul. YES!


4. Have slow digesting foods to keep you full longer

ezgif-3268479868

Complex carbs, healthy fats and proteins are your go to foods in Ramadan, as the body takes a longer time to break them down, which gives you a slow release of energy through out the night and day instead of a a sudden spike of energy followed by a fast crash leaving you extremely hungry and exhausted all over again. Choose foods like Brown rice, oats, vegetables, meats, nuts, chicken, fish, cottage cheese and etc.


5. Avoid foods that make you thirsty

ezgif-405321558

Try to reduce extremely protein filled meals, sugars, and stay away from SALT. Especially during Suhoor try and keep your meals cleaner for the sake of your own state during the day. These foods will make you extremely dehydrated than you already are (considering it’s a hot weather).


6. Don’t skip Suhoor

ezgif-146463494 (1)

Due to the hours of fasting and the summer heat, you are more likely to feel dehydrated and tired during the day so make sure you’re waking up for suhoor and you’re eating slow digesting foods to keep you full for longer. Moreover, skipping Suhoor also encourages overeating during Iftar, which can cause unhealthy weight gain. Although its tough to wake up in the middle of the night, its worth interrupting your sleep for.


7. Don’t overeat during Iftar, Listen to your body

ezgif-538979993

Iftar should be a well-balanced, nutritious meal and not a feast! Overeating may result in indigestion, weight gain and unproductivity. Eat a well balanced meal for iftar, make sure not to ignore the signs your body gives you and don’t overstuff yourself. I know being deprived during the day makes you want to eat all sorts of food come Maghreb, that’s why you should be meal planning so that you can divide up all your favorites foods through out each day of Ramadan.
