The Shaytan Who Steals Your Fortune — The Surah That Burns Him

Whatever you plan — even if you only think it in your mind — it gets stuck? What happens easily for others falls apart for you? The Shaykh sees behind this a special class of jinn — the Marid.

Who Are the Marid?

The jinn also have classes and levels — the Qur'an and hadith mention various kinds. The Marid — a rebellious, powerful class — are mentioned directly in the Qur'an in Surah As-Saffat.

Do you know what their old occupation was? Istiraq as-sam' — stealing and listening to news of the heavens, and passing it on to the ears of magicians and fortune-tellers. After the Qur'an was revealed, that path was closed by the guarding of the meteors.

In the Shaykh's explanation — when this class settles upon someone (through magic, hasad (envy) or the evil eye, or out of its own envy), it starts up its old habit: this time not stealing the news of the heavens — but your news — Wallahu a'lam.

How Will You Know This Is the Problem?

• Your marriage talks are underway — it overhears, rushes off, and ruins them
• You are waiting for news of a job or a journey — it is spoiled before it even reaches you
• The moment people talk about you, it gets stuck; even when you only think it in your own head
• You used to be fortunate — now it is the opposite; and events happen again and again in the same pattern

The Shaykh's principle: "What happens repeatedly is established." This repetition itself is the proof of its presence — though everything is, of course, under Allah's command, Wallahu a'lam.

Treatment — the first 10 verses (ayat) of Surah As-Saffat

Why this Surah? Because it is here that Allah said the eavesdropping shayatin are chased away with a burning meteor. The verses that drove him away from the heavens will drive him away from your life too, in sha Allah.

1. Every day in the morning, the first 10 verses — 10 times
2. In the evening — 10 times — aloud; at the end, blow and wipe over as much of your body as you can
3. If you can, after every salah — 1, 3, 7 or 10 times — as much as possible

Bonus — At Bedtime

The Shaykh added one more thing —

When you sleep, play an audio of Surah As-Saffat in the house — once, twice, or on repeat for 2-4 hours — the Shaykh says this is excellent too, in sha Allah.

While you sleep, his refuge will keep heating up — he will not be able to endure it, in sha Allah.

What Will You See Afterwards?

• The obstacles are lifting from your affairs — what used to be stuck is moving forward
• The last-minute upsets are decreasing
• People's sudden turning away, spreading of talk, and aversion — are fading, in sha Allah

When this filthy one departs, you will realize — your "bad luck" was never really the fault of fate; someone was standing in the way. Allah alone grants success.
