The Jinn and Human Sickness: Remedies in the Light of the Qur'aan and Sunnah
The subject of the jinn is one which is of interest to many people. Folk stories abound, and many superstitious practices have arisen in Muslim cultures with regard to protection against the jinn. Many myths surround the ideas of the evil eye and envy, and there are many strange notions surrounding illnesses such as epilepsy and mental illness, which are often thought of as being caused by the jinn. This book cuts through all the confusion and identifies correct Islamic teachings on all these subjects. The jinn are real and they can indeed harm humans, but this book will teach you how to protect yourself in the manner taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him). Break free from fear, superstition and fairy stories, and familiarize yourself with the teachings of Islam on these important aspects of spirituality which the author presents here, drawing on the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah and the writings of the respected scholars of Islam.

I started this book in the afternoon and couldn't put it down till it was almost dawn. This being so, when I have extensively read the Qur'an and hadith sources on the topic, so I was familiar with the content. Yet, I still learned additional cures for the evil eye, which was new knowledge for me.
This is the third book I have read on the Jinns-which included a self-published one-and this came out on top. It skims over topics, but covers the essentials, which is sufficient for the layman. The belief of the author is sound and solid, and it is evident from his writings. His book is extremely beneficial for a majority of Muslims-including the well educated ones-who are easily led astray when faced with this subject. Many a Muslim is tricked by charlatans, who exploit the lack of sound faith and religious knowledge in the victims. The author has put things in the right perspective. My prior readings corroborate his statements.
The book however, has 3 major shortcomings:
1. There is a dire need for professional editing, from an experienced American editor. There are too many repetitions, and the grammar needs polishing. Darusalam distributes internationally, and its high time they learn and adopt international standards.
2. The book lacks citations in about 30-40% of the content. No statement, name, claim or phenomenon can be printed without a citation. Refer to point #1.
3. There are a few weak hadith referenced here. This makes one question the author's sources of research. In the presence of the sihah sitta, the massive body of reliable hadith, it should be the sole source of a Muslim scholar. One who quotes weak hadith raises questions about his work. But then again, I found the essence and teachings of the book to be sound. I would humbly suggest that such minor errors be corrected in future editions.

Very well written book by Abu Khaleel. Lots of information and remedies as per Quran and sunnah to handle problems because of Jinn.
There is a list of Verses that punish the jinn. It tells us how to protect yourself against witchcraft by using Ajwa dates and Cupping.
It also teaches how to treat the evil eye with Ruqyah and Dhikr. There is also a big list of Dhikrs and Du'aa's that have been narrated from the Prophet for treating worry, grief and distress.
I highly recommend you guys to read this informative book.

This is one of the best book available in the market for understanding human sickness. It breaks into stereotypes of the mysterious world of jinns and devils. Also explains how some are real and mostly are nothing more than folklores. A writer is very knowledgeable. Hadith are well quoted. This book is a source of great wisdom for anyone looking to understand evil eye, witchcraft and envy.

I have read many books on Jinns but this one is my favorite in terms of Islamic exorcism.
The cover of the book itself is attractive, dark and hardcover, representing the subject as dark itself.
It is true that the author has removed the superstitious concepts on Jinns. The author described the reality of the Jinns using Koranic verses and authentic Hadiths. Moreover, he illustrated the witchcraft, how it is done, but on top of that, he included the solutions if someone has been possessed by a Jinn.
I love the way the author detailed the verses in the Koran as solutions. Personally, I printed the verses so that I can I read. For many cases, the author stated a solution using the Koranic verses and Sunnah.
The only part which I did not like is using cupping to cure possession. This is cruel.
The language structure is very good. Moreover, the texts are big enough to read, thus, people who have eyes issues, will not have difficulties when reading. I love the way the texts flow on each page. I read the book in English, and I was satisfied.
All the solutions against witchcraft are authentic as they came from the Koran itself. Moreover, the ways the author described each concept, I found them true as I was myself possessed in 2006 and also the details are from the Koran and from his own experiences dealing with Jinns.
I gave the book 4 stars as it convinced me. It remains my favorite Islamic exorcism book!

Interesting, although it said very little about the issues I was expecting the book to address.
