Wa `alaykum as-salam wa rahamatullah wa barakatuh

 

When a Muslim helps another in curing his illness, he is not supposed to claim a merit for himself for curing someone, since Allah is the one who really cures. Doctors and medications are means which affect by the will of Allah. We are not supposed to praise or highly estimate our works in front of people. We must show humbleness and our weakness before Allah and his servants.

The fact is that we cannot see jinn in their original form. Allah explained that in the Qur’an, “O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.” (Al-A`raf 7:27)

 

Devils, however, can appear in other forms like the form of a man or a woman or in the form of an animal. This has been proved through authentic ahadith from the Prophet.

 

As for Basirah, it is insight that Allah bestows on His sincere servants so that they can see the truth. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Among the nations, there used to be Muhaddathun (those who were given understanding), and if there were one in my nation, it would be `Umar ibn Al-Khattab.” (At-Tirmidhi and has been graded as authentic). Scholars stated that muhaddathun are the ones whose tongues flow with the truth even unintentionally.
