ReasonAll this superstition is some bullshit story stolen from local pagan religions to make the transition to Islam easier. The jinn was believed in by pagan Arabs for centuries before Islam but it nonetheless has its own chapter in the Quran. I even read somewhere that the prophet thought it was a jinn who came to him in the cave. It's similar to Jesus being born on the 25th of December which has roots in paganism and Christmas. Religions do this shit to make the transition to the religion easier, it ensures the religion isn't completely alien to the people otherwise they won't accept it.
Furthermore, why does this shit only happen to religious people in general. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and so on all believe in demonic possession and shit but somehow everyone one of them believe only they have the cure. The people nonetheless all claim to be cured from these 'demons'. It's always the uneducated poor person and the superstitious who fall for this crap.
P.S. I'm new.
