I don't understand what exactly made you people think she was 'possesed'. Halting religious activities? Just seems like you guys were trying to force your religion on her. In Europe you'd be jailed for that 'exorcism'.

Do you really think I'd do that to my aunt? Come on, now. It was with her consent that the exorcism was done.

She was always a religious person until that one day. And there was no talk of religion that day either. And she slowly but surely returned to her religious activities after the day of the exorcism.

There is just simply no logical or scientific explanation for that day...and I tried my hardest to find it.


First of all, I am sorry for your relative and I hope she is better now. Salamt. Second of all, I haven't read enough about her story and even then, I am no psychiatrist to judge. However, there ARE scientific explanations for her case. Unusual thoughts, disturbed behaviors, disorganized speech, paranoia,verbal aggression, hearing voices etc are all symptoms of brief psychotic disorder (which is basically schizophrenia that lasts only for one month or less and disappears completely eventually and the person goes on living normally for the rest of their lives).

Third of all, I question.. where Muslims get these fixed beliefs about possessions when there is nothing From Quran or Muhammed himself about Exorcism. Are there stories from the Khulafa Al rashdeen history in which they exorcise people? demons that take over humans and control them? I haven't read any! We have lots of 1400 years old stories about several minor issues and all sorts of Hadeeth but NON that disccussed demons taking control of bodies? how come?

Edit: I know I am not exactly the believer and I forgot everything the Quran said about the Jin honestly but I'll keep it in mind next time I re-explore religions.


why do you have to go and have the same points I made before I made them!!!! :P


It's cool, I feel less of a zendeeq now. Also, Your English is also more neat.. or neater?

@huaxiong90:

Jordanian Psychiatrists are Jokes, disrespectful and never really studied psychology, I am totally sure it's the case for whole middle east. I know because at I've wasted my savings and time on them seeking a cure of homosexuality. I used to take antidepressants and lithium to "correct" my sexual preference. The last psychiatrist I treid asked me first if I "baneek or batnak?" and ended the session after I answered, prescribed drugs and told me to come back after 3 months.

I decided to read psychology on my own at some point to get to the roots of my "problem" but I found psychology to be really entertaining so I continued reading whatever books I owned. Therefor, I know a little about schizophrenia. I know that you can't diagnose someone and call him  schizophrenic until the syptoms last for 6 months. Jordanian doctors diagnose schizophrenia and prescribe drugs for patients who JUST started complaining of the syptoms, laughable. I know also that psychotic patients can be either sightful or insightful about their condition, so it was totally normal for your aunt to be aware of what was happening.

By the way, I am not trying to "look down" on your beliefs my friend. For all I know you may be right and Jin can control humans. For now, I'll just choose to believe it's all about mental disorders until I learn more.

 

EDIT: why can't I unbold this mess -.-
