The Jinn Eavesdropping on Revelation in Our Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s question: Is there eavesdropping by the jinn on revelation in our time, or does the doubt contradict them?
Answer:
Say, it was common in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and after the distinction of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it decreased, but it did not cease. As I mentioned to you, this is a matter of trial and testing, so that Allah may distinguish the corrupt from the pure. It did not cease, but it decreased.
