In ruqyah practice, the term “khadim jinn” is used to refer to a type of bodyguard or appointed shaytan whose role is to preserve, protect, and maintain the magic inside the body of a person affected by magic, and to keep the person under control.
Possible roles of a khadim jinn
- Holding on to the magic inside the body
- Keeping the affected person under control
- Keeping the connection active between the internal magic and the external influence
- In some cases, disturbing the delivery of signals from body organs to the brain
As a result, the affected person may show:
- Disorganized speech
- Forgetfulness
- Lack of concentration
- Behavioral imbalance
- Unexplained physical problems
Another discussed concept: the observing jinn
Sometimes it is said that when magic is done to a person, two types of jinn may work together:
- Khadim jinn — the one that protects the internal magic
- Observing jinn — the one that helps the khadim and maintains the connection with the external magic
What may happen during ruqyah?
Sometimes it is seen that the patient is screaming, but the brain is partially conscious; the body is not under control. Many people explain this type of state in two ways:
- The inner shaytan has become active under the effect of the verses
- An external influence is controlling the person
Why are regular deeds important?
Through ruqyah, the affected person may receive some healing and the inner khadim may become weak. But if the person does not maintain regular deeds, that influence may regain strength—this is a view held among ruqyah specialists.
Conclusion
Discussion about khadim jinn is mainly part of ruqyah-based experience and analysis. Therefore, in such cases, along with religious treatment, real physical and mental causes should also be considered seriously.
