Part 1: A Theological and Biblical Refutation of Chapter 18: “The Jinn”

Introduction: The Cult’s Gateway to the Occult

In Door Number Eighteen of The Seventh Covenant with Ahmed Al-Hassan, the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light introduces an entire chapter built on occult themes, Islamic folklore, and speculative metaphysics. It reinterprets biblical figures and events through the lens of jinn mythology, falsely equating it with spiritual truth. The authors misrepresent the Bible, distort the ministry of Christ, and ultimately encourage belief in a doctrine incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What follows is a detailed theological and biblical refutation of this chapter.


1. Quoting and Refuting the Opening Paragraph

Original Cult Claim:
“‘And the jinn we created before from a scorching flame.’ The Goal of the Wise: Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) once said to me, ‘If the reasons are known, then wonderment ceases.’ From the dawn of history, human beings have wondered and wandered across many inexplicable experiences or what science has called paranormal activities. We have tried to explain our strange experiences through religion, science, and other folk tales. While making the strange familiar can be challenging, it is what the Prophets, Messengers, and Sages have always done. From King Solomon (PBUH) summoning invisible beings, to Jesus (PBUH) exorcizing demons, to Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) preaching to an assembly of jinn, the topic of hidden living creatures, spirits, or jinn has been the subject of intrigue throughout human history.”

Biblical Refutation:
This paragraph sets the foundation for occult mysticism by equating biblical prophets with magical or paranormal practices, implying that figures like Solomon and Jesus interacted with jinn-like entities. The quoted verse, “And the jinn we created before from a scorching flame,” is from the Qur’an (Surah 15:27)—not the Bible. The Bible has no concept of ‘jinn’. The term is entirely Islamic in origin, developed from pre-Islamic Arabian mythology and woven into Qur’anic theology.

Furthermore, claiming that “Prophets, Messengers, and Sages have always” interpreted paranormal activity is misleading and unbiblical. Scripture never presents prophets as mystics or occult investigators, but as men of God who spoke as moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). The idea that King Solomon “summoned invisible beings” is not found in the Bible—it originates from post-biblical Jewish folklore and the Qur’an (Surah 27:17–39), not 1 Kings or Chronicles. In fact, the Bible strictly condemns the summoning of spirits:

“There shall not be found among you anyone who… practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer, or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10–12

Equating Jesus’ casting out of demons with interaction with “jinn” is an egregious distortion. Demons in the Bible are unclean spirits, fallen angels, part of the kingdom of Satan. They are not a neutral or morally ambiguous species like the jinn of Islamic lore.


2. Quoting and Refuting the Second Paragraph

Original Cult Claim:
“Jinn is a word used to describe a group of extradimensional species of creatures that reside on the planet. They are an intelligent species and have free will. Some are disbelievers and others are believers. There is an entire Chapter (Surah) in the Holy Qur’an named after them. Some have the ability to possess human beings and other creatures, to shapeshift, and to appear in different forms. Some jinn have helped human beings while others have caused them harm.”

Biblical Refutation:
This paragraph relies solely on Islamic doctrine and occult theory, not the Holy Scriptures. The Bible does not recognise a species of free-willed, shape-shifting spiritual beings called jinn. It presents a binary view of spiritual reality:

  • Holy angels (Hebrews 1:14)
  • Fallen angels, i.e., demons (Revelation 12:7–9; Jude 1:6)

The New Testament never speaks of morally ambivalent or helpful demons. Every interaction with unclean spirits involves oppression, deception, or destruction. Jesus rebuked demons, never consulted, negotiated, or worked with them.

“And he cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.”
— Mark 1:34

Any claim that jinn can be “believers” who help humans is a direct contradiction to the teaching of Christ, who consistently treats demons as enemies to be cast out, not as allies or neutral beings.


3. Quoting and Refuting the Third Paragraph

Original Cult Claim:
“One example is the jinn Qatmir who accompanied the Companions of the Cave (Ashab Al-Kahf) and returns as a servant with the Riser/Qaim. Qatmir had the ability to strike fear into the hearts of men and he protected the Seven Sleepers (Companions of the Cave) during their slumber. Other jinn are evil and misguide and torture people, creating ailments and sicknesses, like those that Jesus (PBUH) and his disciples used to banish.”

Biblical Refutation:
This paragraph introduces Qatmir, a creature found only in Islamic apocryphal tradition, not the Bible. The story of the Seven Sleepers of the Cave (Ashab Al-Kahf) comes from Surah 18 of the Qur’an, not any canonical book of the Bible. Even within Islamic tradition, Qatmir is most often described as the dog of the sleepers—not a jinn.

To claim that this jinn will “return with the Riser/Qaim” is pure speculative eschatology with no biblical foundation. This links directly into the cult’s messianic claims about Ahmed Al-Hassan, treating him as a returning saviour accompanied by jinn. This is antichrist theology. The Bible teaches that only Jesus Christ returns in glory, with angels—not mythical beings from Qur’anic fables.

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him…”
— Matthew 25:31

The second half of the paragraph again tries to equate demonic activity in Jesus’ ministry with “jinn,” which we have already shown is completely unscriptural.


4. The Occult Theology of the Seventh Covenant

The jinn doctrine in Door Number Eighteen opens the door to occult practices and esoteric mysticism. These teachings mirror Gnostic dualism, Islamic mysticism, and modern paranormal theory—not the Word of God. Introducing the idea that jinn are neutral, intelligent beings with free will who work with prophets is a form of spiritualism, which the Bible warns against:

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”
— 1 Timothy 4:1

This is exactly what we see in the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light—a departure from sound doctrine into teachings about mythical creatures and invented messianic roles.

Original Cult Claim: Quoting Matthew 8 and the Qur’an Together

From the Cult Text (Chapter 18):
“Here we provide an excerpt from the Holy Bible to demonstrate how Jesus (PBUH) healed ailments and diseases caused by demonic possession:

When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. ‘What do you want with us, Son of God?’ they shouted. ‘Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?’ Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The demons begged Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’ He said to them, ‘Go!’ So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water…”

You notice that the demons or jinn had asked Jesus (PBUH) why he was to torture them before the Appointed Time. The Appointed Time is the Day of the Rise of the Qaim/Riser, the same Appointed Time set for Iblis, their father. The Holy Qur’an said: ‘[Iblis (Satan)] said: “O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day they (the dead) will be resurrected.” Allah said: “Then, verily, you are of those reprieved, Till the Day of the time appointed.”’

It is in the time of the Qaim/Riser that all of the evil spirits of humans and jinn return and are punished at the hands of the Qaim/Riser and his companions.”


Part 2: A Biblical Rebuttal of the Jinn Doctrine and the Misuse of Matthew 8


Biblical Refutation: Matthew 8 Has Nothing to Do with Jinn or Ahmed Al-Hassan

The above passage is a misappropriation of Scripture in order to bolster the eschatological claims of the Ahmadi cult, which presents Ahmed Al-Hassan as a divine Qaim/Riser. The text of Matthew 8:28–34 is not about jinn. It is a clear and deliberate account of Jesus Christ’s divine authority over demons, who are unclean, malevolent spirits. The cult’s attempt to equate them with “jinn” and reframe Christ’s authority as subordinate to a future “Riser” is a serious theological error.

Let us unpack the claims in detail.


1. Conflating “Demons” with “Jinn” Is Doctrinally False

The term “jinn” is entirely absent from the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. The Bible uses specific Greek words for demons (δαιμόνια – daimonia; πνεύματα – pneumata or “spirits”), consistently describing them as evil, deceptive, and under the rule of Satan.

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”
— Luke 10:17–18

The jinn in Islamic belief are a separate race of spiritual beings created from fire (Qur’an 15:27), who are morally ambivalent—some are “good Muslims” while others are evil. This contradicts biblical demonology, which never presents demons as potential believers or neutral beings. There is no biblical basis for believing in morally neutral spirits that cohabit the earth and assist messianic figures.


2. “Appointed Time” in Matthew 8 Refers to Christ’s Final Judgment—Not to a Qaim/Riser

“Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?” (Matthew 8:29)

This phrase from the demons refers to the Day of Judgment, which in biblical theology is the day Christ returns to judge all the earth, not a “Qaim/Riser” from a 21st-century Iraqi cult.

“Because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.”
— Acts 17:31

The demons recognised Jesus Christ as the one who would torment them in the future—they said, “What do you want with us, Son of God?” (Matthew 8:29). Their terror was not because of a distant Qaim, but because they were standing before the Judge Himself.

The cult’s attempt to insert Ahmed Al-Hassan into this context is not only dishonest but blasphemous. It strips Jesus Christ of His eschatological authority and hands it to a mere man—thus committing the very sin of the Antichrist spirit, which always seeks to replace Christ.


3. Quoting the Qur’an to Explain the Bible Is Theologically Invalid

The passage in the cult text quotes the Qur’an (Surah 38:79–81), where Iblis is granted respite until the “Day of the Time Appointed.” While this resembles the concept of judgment day, the Qur’an’s eschatology is not the same as biblical eschatology. The God of the Bible never promises judgment through a second messianic figure after Christ, but through Christ alone.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…”
— 2 Corinthians 5:10

“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.”
— John 5:22

The Qur’anic passage about Iblis does not support the existence of a “Qaim” or validate any claim that Ahmed Al-Hassan will punish demons. It is irrelevant to Christian theology and cannot be used to interpret the Gospels. To do so is to synchronize incompatible religions and create a heretical hybrid doctrine.


4. Christ Alone Will Defeat Evil Spirits at His Return

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:8

The Bible is crystal clear: Christ Himself will return to crush Satan and every demonic force—not a “Qaim” or esoteric imam. The “Appointed Time” is not the arrival of Ahmed Al-Hassan, but the Day of the Lord.

“The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God…”
— 2 Thessalonians 1:7–8

To say demons fear the Qaim rather than Christ is to reverse biblical reality and attribute divine authority to a false messiah.


The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light has manipulated a powerful passage from Scripture—one that demonstrates the supremacy of Jesus Christ over the demonic realm—and twisted it into a justification for their own leader’s imagined authority. By merging Qur’anic language with Gospel narratives, they replace the biblical Christ with a false eschatological figure. This is another gospel, which Scripture forcefully condemns:

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
— Galatians 1:8

Cult Claim Summary: Solomon, Magic, and the Qaim’s Ring

The cult claims that Solomon (PBUH) used magic and commanded jinn to do his bidding, employing a “ring of Solomon” to control spirits. They cite The Legends of the Jews (Louis Ginzberg) and claim this mystical ring will reappear with the Ahmadi figure known as the Qaim or Riser. According to their sources, this ring is a symbol of supernatural power over jinn, and the Qaim will use it to command armies of spirits and perform miracles. Abi Ja’far is quoted to say the Qaim will rise “with the Ring of Solomon, the Banner of the Messenger, and the Stone of Moses.”


Part 3: Refuting the Cult’s Teaching on Solomon, Magic, and the Ring of Solomon

Biblical and Theological Refutation

1. Solomon’s Wisdom Was from God — Not Magic

The Bible’s clear portrayal of Solomon is that his great wisdom and success were gifts from God—not occult magic or sorcery:

“And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.”
— 1 Kings 4:29

Solomon’s wisdom was divinely granted for righteous governance and temple-building, not for magical manipulation of spirits or jinn. The Bible unequivocally condemns all forms of magic, sorcery, and necromancy:

“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or practices divination, or a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10-11

To claim Solomon was a “great magician” conflicts directly with Scripture, which honours him as a man who walked with God (1 Kings 3:3).


2. ‘The Legends of the Jews’ Is a Non-Canonical Jewish Compilation—Not Scripture

The cult’s main “proof” is a passage from The Legends of the Jews, a 20th-century collection of Jewish folklore compiled by Louis Ginzberg. This book is not inspired Scripture, but a retelling of legends, many with mythic or symbolic overtones. It is not authoritative for Christian doctrine.

The tale about Solomon’s magic ring and the spirit confined in a bottle is part of Jewish folklore and later mystical tradition, not biblical revelation. To build an entire eschatology upon such sources is to embrace mythology over the inspired Word of God.


3. No Biblical or Historical Basis for a ‘Ring of Solomon’ to Control Jinn

The Bible never mentions Solomon possessing a magical ring to control spirits. While Solomon is traditionally associated with wisdom and control over nature (see Proverbs and Ecclesiastes), the concept of a magical ring controlling jinn or demons is a post-biblical legend, often linked to later occult traditions or Islamic folklore.

The Ahmadi cult’s claim that the Qaim/Riser will rise with this ring is entirely extra-biblical and without historical foundation. It reflects a syncretism of Islamic mystical tradition, Jewish folklore, and their own invented mythology.


4. The ‘Stone of Moses’ and ‘Banner of the Messenger’ Are Equally Unbiblical

The cult’s claim that the Qaim will also have the “Stone of Moses” and the “Banner of the Messenger” comes from Shi’a and Islamic mystical traditions, not the Bible. No such items appear in Scripture as tokens or symbols of eschatological authority besides Christ’s own titles and signs:

“And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.”
— Revelation 19:16

These cultic objects are not biblical, and invoking them as proof of divine authority is false teaching.


5. The Bible Condemns Attempted Control of Spirits

Attempting to control spirits or demons through magical objects or rituals is condemned repeatedly:

“Let no one be found among you who… practices witchcraft or sorcery.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10-12

“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.”
— Leviticus 19:31

Christians are called to submit to Christ alone, who has authority over every spirit without magical artifacts:

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
— Matthew 28:18

The Ahmadi teaching about Solomon’s “magic ring,” jinn armies, and the eschatological Qaim’s supernatural artifacts is not biblical. It rests on non-canonical legends and mystical traditions foreign to the historic Christian faith. This teaching encourages reliance on occult symbolism and false messianic figures rather than Christ.

The only true authority over spirits and eschatological power belongs to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whose kingdom will never be overcome:

“I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! And He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.”
— Revelation 19:11

Reject the myth of the “Ring of Solomon” and the Qaim’s magic. Trust only in the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The cult teaches that the two angels Harut and Marut came to teach people magic as a means of self-defense against evil magicians in the time after Noah. They claim these angels instructed a prophet who then taught the people magic, but only the kind that neutralizes harmful spells, forbidding its use to injure others. Imam Al-Sadiq (Peace be upon Him) is quoted saying:

“After Noah, many magicians and tricksters appeared, so God sent two angels to the Prophet of that time to teach him the magic used by magicians, how to counter their plots, and make their magic ineffective… The Prophet then delivered this knowledge to the servants of God, instructing them to use it to stop magic and forbidding its use to harm others.”

This teaching implies a divine sanction of certain “white magic” for defensive purposes.


Biblical and Theological Response

1. The Bible Condemns All Magic and Sorcery Without Exception

The Bible is absolutely clear that any form of magic or sorcery—whether for defense or attack—is forbidden and condemned as rebellion against God’s authority:

“Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10–12

There is no biblical example of God sending angels or prophets to teach magic—even defensive magic. God commands His people to rely on Him alone for protection and deliverance, not on occult arts.


2. The Story of Harut and Marut Is from Islamic Tradition, Not Scripture

The narrative about Harut and Marut teaching magic appears in the Qur’an (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:102) and Islamic exegesis. It is not part of the Bible or Christian tradition. The Bible contains no mention of angels teaching magic or prophets endorsing it.

Christian doctrine holds that angels serve God’s purposes and do not teach occult arts. Their role is to minister to believers and execute God’s will (Hebrews 1:14), never to instruct in forbidden knowledge.


3. Claims About Prophets as ‘Great Magicians’ Contradict Scripture

The cult asserts that many prophets, including Solomon and Abraham, were “great magicians” possessing knowledge of magic. Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (Peace be upon Him) is quoted saying:

“Learning magic is not forbidden… What is forbidden is black magic which harms others.”

This directly contradicts biblical teaching. The miracles of the prophets were divine acts by God’s power, not sorcery or magic. The Bible differentiates sharply between miracles (God’s power) and magic (human or demonic arts):

“For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator…”
— Romans 1:25

Prophets were God’s messengers performing miracles by the Spirit of God, not magicians wielding secret arts.


4. Mind Control, Subliminal Messages, and Magic Are Demonic, Not Neutral Science

The cult’s explanation of magic as “the use of jinn, subliminal messages, hand gestures, and symbols to control minds” is a modern twist on occult manipulation.

While psychological influence exists, true Christian understanding recognizes that attempting to control others through occult means is spiritually dangerous and forbidden. The Bible warns against occult practices that manipulate or deceive:

“Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’”
— 1 Corinthians 15:33

“We are not ignorant of his schemes.”
— 2 Corinthians 2:11

Christian believers are called to resist such deceptions through prayer, truth, and the power of the Holy Spirit.


5. Black Magic Involving Blood Sacrifices Is Sinful and Condemned

The cult acknowledges black magic involves blood sacrifices and deals with evil jinn to harm others, deeming it forbidden (haram). This aligns with biblical teaching:

“You shall not let anyone who is familiar with the familiar spirits or a wizard come into the assembly of the Lord.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10

Blood sacrifices to demons or spirits are profane and punishable by God. The New Testament consistently condemns such practices as works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11).


6. The Present Age and Spiritual Warfare

The cult claims we now face “the worst of the worst” in supernatural evil, including advanced mind control and magic worse than in the times of Abraham and Solomon. This echoes biblical teaching about the last days:

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
— Ephesians 6:12

Christians must be vigilant, relying on God’s armour to resist spiritual deception and evil powers (Ephesians 6:13-18).


7. Grimoires, Spells, and Magical Charms Are False and Dangerous

When questioned about ancient grimoires and charms, the cult’s Imam says such magical claims—like crocodile skin preventing drowning—are false, admitting “the most learned magicians today are Moroccans and Indians.”

This admission exposes the futility of relying on magic charms or spells. The Bible warns believers not to seek power or protection through occult means but through faith in God alone:

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
— Ephesians 6:11

Biblical Critical Review of Part 4: The Jinn and Related Teachings

1. The Ontology and Origin of Jinn

Claim:
Jinn are beings created from a special kind of fire, from another dimension or world intersecting ours, not from Earth.

Biblical Perspective:

  • The Bible does not mention “jinn” or similar beings created from fire. The spiritual beings described are angels and demons, created as spirit beings by God (Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:14).
  • Angels, including fallen angels (demons), are spirits created by God (Psalm 148:2–5; Hebrews 1:7). They are distinct from humans and animals and are not described as made of fire, but spiritual beings (Luke 24:39, “a spirit does not have flesh and bones”).
  • Fire in the Bible is often a symbol of God’s presence, holiness, and judgment (Exodus 3:2, Hebrews 12:29), not a substance from which creatures are made.
  • No biblical evidence supports the idea of “other worlds” or “dimensions” as home to beings like jinn. The Bible’s cosmology includes heaven, earth, and the underworld but no parallel physical dimensions inhabited by other creatures.

2. Simbas – The Father of Iblis

Claim:
Simbas, a creature from another world, is the father of Iblis (Satan), who killed him.

Biblical Perspective:

  • In the Bible, Satan (Iblis equivalent) is a created angelic being (Ezekiel 28:12–19; Isaiah 14:12–15 traditionally interpreted) who rebelled against God. There is no biblical teaching that Satan has a father or lineage.
  • Satan is a singular entity, not born from another being but created by God as an angel who chose rebellion (Isaiah 14:12–15; Revelation 12:7–9).
  • No biblical passage supports the idea of Satan murdering his father or having any family ties. This notion conflicts with the biblical narrative of angelic origins.

3. Jinn and Their Relation to Humans and Nations

Claim:
Jinn exist in tribes and nations like humans (Arab, Jewish, Christian jinn). They are visible or invisible, and influence earthly events.

Biblical Perspective:

  • The Bible speaks of spiritual beings, both good (angels) and evil (demons), who can influence the physical world (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 11:14).
  • Demons are often portrayed as deceivers and tempters, but there is no biblical teaching of demons divided ethnically or religiously corresponding to human tribes.
  • The Bible warns Christians against occult involvement or demon worship but does not teach that these spirits align themselves culturally or ethnically (Galatians 5:19–21; 1 Timothy 4:1).
  • Spiritual warfare is present in Scripture but with emphasis on resisting the devil through faith in Christ (James 4:7; Ephesians 6:10–18).

4. Meteors as Divine Weapons Against Jinn

Claim:
Meteors and stars are divine missiles to stone devils who try to spy on the heavens.

Biblical Perspective:

  • The Bible occasionally uses meteors or “falling stars” symbolically (Revelation 8:10–11), but does not teach that stars literally function as missiles against demonic spies.
  • The idea of demons “spying on the heavens” and being repelled by falling stars is absent from biblical doctrine.
  • Biblical angels are God’s messengers, and God’s control over the cosmos is absolute, but there is no biblical narrative of cosmic warfare involving meteor showers as defensive weapons against supernatural spies.
  • The cosmic order in the Bible is sovereignly maintained by God’s power, not dependent on physical celestial objects as weapons.

5. Theological and Christological Implications

Scripture teaches believers to focus on Christ, who has authority over all spiritual beings, rather than on speculations about other worlds or invisible creatures (Matthew 28:18; Ephesians 1:20–22).

The biblical view centers on one sovereign God who created all things visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16). There is no room for multiple worlds with other created races outside God’s sovereign creation of earth and heavens.

Jesus Christ’s work is central in defeating the devil and all spiritual powers (Colossians 2:15). No external “jinn” or alien dimension is mentioned or required to explain spiritual realities.

he teaching about jinn as beings made of fire from other dimensions and the story of Iblis’s father Simbas present a worldview that is largely foreign to biblical revelation. The Bible does describe spiritual beings (angels and demons) but with distinct characteristics, origins, and roles rooted in God’s creation and sovereign plan.

Meteors as divine weapons and jinn divided into ethnic tribes do not align with biblical cosmology or angelology. The focus of biblical faith remains on God’s sovereignty and Christ’s victory over evil, not on otherworldly creatures from parallel dimensions.

Biblical Critical Review of Part 5: Yas, Guardian of the Children

1. Claim of a Righteous Jinn Named Yas

  • The text claims that “Yas” is a righteous jinn who guards children and can appear in photographs as a light reflection or figure.
  • This teaching implies that some jinn can be righteous, protective spirits assigned to human beings, specifically children.

2. Biblical Perspective on Spiritual Guardians

  • The Bible affirms that God appoints angels as ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14).
  • Scripture teaches that angels can be involved in protecting believers, including children:
    • Psalm 91:11-12: “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
    • Matthew 18:10: Jesus said, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.”
  • However, angels and righteous spirits in the Bible are always creations of God, never called “jinn.” They are clearly distinct from demons or any other supernatural beings associated with occult or Islamic traditions.

3. Righteous vs. Evil Spirits

  • The Bible distinguishes clearly between holy angels and evil spirits (demons).
  • There is no biblical basis for the existence of a class of spiritual beings called “jinn,” either righteous or unrighteous.
  • The New Testament warns Christians to avoid any involvement with spirits other than God’s holy angels and the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:13-16; 1 Timothy 4:1).
  • The concept of “righteous jinn” contradicts biblical teachings that all spiritual beings are either angels created by God or demons, who are fallen angels.

4. Supernatural Phenomena and Photography

  • The claim that a jinn can appear in photographs as reflected light or figures is not supported by biblical teaching.
  • While the Bible records supernatural appearances of angels or visions, these are divine revelations, not paranormal photography phenomena.
  • Caution is urged in accepting modern paranormal claims without biblical backing (1 John 4:1).

5. Guardianship of Children

The assurance of God’s protection should not lead believers to seek protection from or belief in unbiblical spiritual beings.

The biblical doctrine of guardian angels affirms God’s protective care over children. Yet this protection comes from God’s holy angels, not from spirits like “Yas.”

The claim of “Yas” as a righteous jinn guarding children blends Islamic/jinn concepts with supernatural attributions not grounded in biblical theology. The Bible acknowledges guardian angels appointed by God to protect His people, especially children, but never describes these beings as jinn or spirits of another origin.

Believers are encouraged to trust in God’s providence and angelic protection as revealed in Scripture, and to reject teachings that assign protective roles to unbiblical spiritual beings.


Part 6, Biblical Refutation of Claims Regarding Orbs, Jinn, and Occult Stones

Quoted Claim:
“So you now know that jinn can be captured on lm at times in the image of orbs.
Sulaimani Stones and Jinn
In other times, the jinn appear in your surroundings as inanimate objects such as precious stones. They appear as stones but they are not, in reality they are jinn. The Imam (From Him is Peace) told me about what they call Sulaimani stones, and these stones are highly sought after in some parts of the Middle East. It is a stone that, if placed on top of wheat, grains, or salt, will proceed to move slowly on it and eat the grain or salt until it disappears. It is not a stone that is found in nature, but rather one that is found in the bellies of serpents. The way that they are extracted is as follows, if it is mating season and two serpents are found mating, throw a black cloth over them while they are in the process of mating, if there is a jinn within them, it will come out of the snake’s mouth in the form of a stone. The stone then, once extracted, could be used for a variety of things including and not limited to protection, inuence, nding treasures, etc. Due to its numerous benets, there are many who sell fake Sulaimani stones, and it is rare to nd the original ones. There is also another type of stone which is in actuality a jinn and this type of stone or jinn is worn as an amulet or ring on a person and protects against bullets. If a person is shot at, the jinn creates an energy eld around the person and the bullet is deected.
I asked Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), “So the stone itself is a jinn, correct?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Correct.”
There are also other stones that are not jinn, but rather serve as houses for jinn, much like the lamp that served as a house for the jinni in the story of Aladdin. In the shapes and forms of stones are benets against evil jinn… Nightmares: Repelling Al-Khanas with Stainless Steel
Another item which demons are repelled by are knives that are made from stainless steel. Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) had prescribed this for someone who was suering from nightmares…
The jinn also come to the Imam (From Him is Peace) sometimes in the form of humans and there are jinn who have believed in this religion… The Imam (From Him is Peace) said: “They rarely appear to normal humans in the form of humans.” They also can appear in the form of cats or other animals and spy on humans…
Reading Secrets in the Eyes
In the eyes of human beings are many secrets… The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, my son. I understand. He is working with jinn from the netherworld, he is in contact with them.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The eyes of the jinn are always bulging and at times they are round and protruding. Always focus on the eyes, for verily in the eyes are many secrets.”
One day I had mentioned to the Imam (From Him is Peace) an incident from when I was a child, where I had encountered a woman who had eyes that were slit like that of a serpent or cat. The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The one who has eyes like a serpent has the characteristics of a serpent.””


Introduction

The above claims encompass occult beliefs involving jinn, enchanted stones, supernatural protections, and mystical knowledge obtained from an “Imam” figure. As Christians, we are called to test all spirits (1 John 4:1) and measure all claims by the authority of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17). The Bible provides clear teaching regarding the spiritual realm, occult objects, and protections. This article carefully examines these claims against biblical doctrine and refutes them.


1. The Reality of the Spiritual Realm vs. Occult Fabrications

Claim: Jinn exist and manifest as orbs, stones, or disguised forms with powers and protective benefits.

Biblical Response:
The Bible clearly affirms the existence of spiritual beings — angels and demons (Ephesians 6:12; Hebrews 1:14). However, it nowhere supports the idea that spirits manifest as stones or orbs or that physical objects can house spirits with supernatural powers granted to humans.

  • Deuteronomy 18:9–12 forbids sorcery, witchcraft, and spirit invocation, warning believers to avoid occult practices. Using stones or objects to harness spiritual powers is condemned as idolatry and sorcery.
  • Isaiah 44:9–20 mocks those who trust in carved idols or magical objects for protection or blessings, emphasizing the futility of such things.
  • Acts 19:19 recounts new Christians burning occult books and objects after conversion — demonstrating God’s rejection of occult artifacts.

Therefore, the idea that stones from serpent bellies or amulets protect or possess jinn is directly contrary to God’s Word and leads believers into deception.


2. Orbs and Spiritual Phenomena in Churches

Claim: Orbs captured on film represent jinn or spirits; charismatic churches once claimed orbs signified angels or blessings, but this was disproved.

Biblical Response:
While the Bible records appearances of angels (Luke 1:26–38; Acts 12:7–11), it never endorses interpreting photographic anomalies such as “orbs” as spiritual signs or manifestations.

  • 1 John 4:1 teaches believers to test the spirits rather than accept every supernatural claim uncritically.
  • Most orbs photographed in churches are scientifically explained as dust particles, moisture, or camera artifacts — not supernatural beings.
  • Claiming that orbs indicate spiritual activity without biblical support is speculation and can lead to superstition (Colossians 2:8).

3. Stones or Objects as Spiritual Houses or Protection

Claim: Stones (e.g., Sulaimani stones) serve as vessels or protective amulets with powers, including deflecting bullets.

Biblical Response:
The Bible forbids amulets and charms (Exodus 20:3–5; Leviticus 19:31). Protection comes from God alone, not objects.

  • Psalm 91:1–4 promises God’s protection for those who trust Him, not enchanted stones.
  • Ephesians 6:10–18 exhorts believers to put on the full armor of God, which is spiritual, not physical talismans.
  • Jeremiah 17:5 condemns trust in man-made objects over God.

The notion that stones from snake bellies or “houses for jinn” can protect is occultism condemned by Scripture (Galatians 5:20).


4. Use of Metal or Knives to Repel Nightmares or Demons

Claim: Stainless steel knives placed under pillows repel nightmares and evil spirits.

Biblical Response:
There is no biblical precedent for physical objects like knives or metals repelling evil spirits.

  • The Bible teaches prayer and reliance on God’s protection (Philippians 4:6–7).
  • Jesus commands believers to resist the devil through faith and the Word, not objects (James 4:7).
  • Using objects for spiritual protection is superstitious and unbiblical.

5. Jinn Appearing as Animals or Humans

Claim: Jinn can take human or animal forms and spy on humans.

Biblical Response:
Scripture confirms demons can manifest in various ways to deceive (2 Corinthians 11:14). However:

  • Believers are called to discern spirits by Scripture, not signs or appearances (1 John 4:1–6).
  • Trust is in Christ’s victory over evil, not in trying to identify spirits by outward appearances (Colossians 2:15).

6. Eyes as a Means of Spiritual Recognition

Claim: Eyes reveal if one is human, jinn, or angel; serpent-like eyes indicate demonic nature.

Biblical Response:
The Bible never teaches that physical eye appearance reveals spiritual identity.

  • Jesus warns against judging by outward appearances (John 7:24).
  • True discernment is by the fruit of a person’s spirit and doctrine (Matthew 7:15–20).
  • Physical traits like “serpent eyes” are superstition, not biblical truth.

Conclusion

The claims about jinn manifesting as stones or orbs, magical stones with powers, knives repelling demons, and discerning spirits by eyes all conflict with the clear teaching of Scripture. God alone governs the spiritual realm, and believers are called to rely on His Word, prayer, and faith for protection and discernment.

Biblical Encouragement:

  • “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
  • “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
  • “Test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” (1 John 4:1)

Reject all forms of occultism and superstition, placing your trust solely in the living God revealed in Scripture.
