What is the cure for one afflicted with fear of the jinn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I suffer from a problem that may lead me to shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is my fear of the jinn. I have tried to treat myself by reciting the Qur'an

The Shaykh:
or what?

The questioner:
from the jinn. I have tried to treat myself by reciting the Qur'an and placing my reliance on Allah, but to no avail, and likewise regarding the doors of fear. What is the cure?

The Shaykh:
Never despair. Recite the Qur'an and seek refuge from Satan. Never despair. Allah the Exalted said:
And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
[Fussilat 41:36]
Reciting the daily portion (al-wird) in the morning and evening—reciting Ayat al-Kursi, Surah al-Ikhlas, and the two Surahs of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatan), and whatever of the Qur'an is easy for you—this also serves as a protection for you from Satan, by the permission of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Do not despair. Let not Satan cause you to despair of the daily portion or of reciting the Qur'an. The Qur'an will not cause you to despair, but Satan will whisper to you. However, never despair. Be consistent with the daily portion in the morning and evening, and increase in the remembrance of Allah and seeking refuge from the accursed Satan.
