Question: It seems Usman Sahib
was a deceiver. Have you entertained any pious Jinn?
Answer: As I have mentioned
in my article, I approached Usman Sahib with a hope that he would turn
out to be a pious jinn; however, I found him to be otherwise. There is
not doubt that there are pious jinn as well, but I have a very strong feeling
that they don’t establish communication with men in the manner I tried.
If the Almighty arranges for them to serve some pious men in some special
way, as was done in the case of the Prophet Solomon (sws), then it is a
different case. My experience has taught me that because they are invisible
and because we know very little about them, there is a great danger that
whenever we will attempt to get in touch with their unseen world, we will
be deceived. Our test of this life is that we should believe in the unseen
realities of God, divine revelation (wahi) sent to the prophets,
life hereafter, angels etc. The very idea of making an effort to peep into
the unseen world, although perhaps an outcome of human curiosity, is extremely
dangerous. We should remain within our human limits of this seen world
and learn about the unseen one only through the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The unseen realities discovered by science like x-rays etc. are different
in that they can be fully explained. What cannot be scientifically explained
through a clear cause and effect relationship should be considered a no
go area, or else Satan will get an opportunity to lead you astray.
