Question

Hi I have a friend who is 19 years of age she is VERY religious and inshallah will have memorized the whole Quran by the end of this year Inshallah. She told me about some "man" called the farooq (الفاروق) that comes to her not by image or by voice but by heart? As in I can't hear him if he talks she can only hear him in her heart and she said he won't come if she's on her period and he will only come if she reads the morning and evening duaas and he helps her memorize the Quran and hadeeth and he told her he is not a jinn or a angel. She never lies and her life is a very bad one where her dad comes in at night sometimes and tries to touch her but she doesn't allow it and she is scared one day she won't be able to stop cuZ she has no where to go and she has other bad things in her life that have happened where once when she was five she was blind for a couple if years but then regained her sight and this "farooq" came to her after her protector ( her grandmother) died . He helps her with her problems and she tells him everything and the only thing he wants from her is for her to spread islam that's it she is sunni of course so he is not trying to spread the wrong word and she knows soooo much bec of him and I'm confused bec I do believe her but I don't know can this be true? She said he only goes to a person that he is sure can memorize the Quran and learn about islam and he told her he does not know the future so not to ask him about it but he can interpret her dreams and our dreams too and he basically tried to lead her to the righteous way but she CANNOT see him ever or hear his voice out loud only in her mind do they talk? She tried to see if he would leave her alone so for one year she never called for him and he did leave her alone so that means if she does want him to leave he would but have u ever heard of a farooq going to a religious person and helping them memorize the Quran with beautiful terteel and spread the word of islam? Jazakom Allah khayr

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

There is no such man called the Faarooq who comes to those who are religiously committed to help them. It is most likely that these are illusions which that girl suffers from. We advise her to keep doing good deeds, offer acts of worship, be keen on having the company of good women, seeking the beneficial knowledge, and reciting recommended Ruqyah and Athkaar. There is no harm if she visits a Muslim psychiatrist.

If what she mentioned about her father is true, then she should beware of him and avoid being in seclusion with him. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 88782.

Allaah Knows best.
