Muhammad Ishak - Three healers from Terengganu Islamic Foundation (YIT) claim they captured 12 more djinns from the house of Siti Balqis Mohd Nor after she disappeared again on Saturday night.
Her family thought her ordeal was over when two bomoh captured nine djinns on Friday and put them in sealed containers.
Yesterday, however, the 22-year-old, who is the eldest of four children, claimed she was whisked away to a cave about 15km from her home in Kampung Gong Nangka here.
She mysteriously disappeared at 7.30pm, minutes before state religious and information committee chairman Khazan Che Mat, YIT director Kamarul Al Amin Ismail and YIT officials arrived at her home with the healers.
Hundreds of residents searched around the house and at locations that she had been found in previous disappearances but this proved futile.
At 11.30pm, her mother Norizan Said, 47, received an SMS from Siti Balqis, saying that she had been taken to a cave in Bukit Keluang.
Jabi assemblyman Ramlan Ali headed a rescue team to Bukit Keluang but they only found seven men and two women who were meditating (bertapa) inside the cave.
Two hours later, Siti Balqis sent another SMS, saying she had been whisked home but had landed on a rambutan tree.
Siti Balqis was pale and unconscious when rescuers brought her down from the rambutan tree.
The three Islamic medical practitioners said they captured 12 djinns after treating her. ...

They captured 12 what?
Genie (Arabic:jinnī; variant spelling djinni) or jinn is a supernatural creature in Arab folklore and Islamic teachings which occupies a parallel world to that of mankind. Together, jinn, humans and angels make up the three sentient creations of Allah. According to the Qur’ān, there are two creations that have free will: humans and jinn. Religious sources say little about them; however, the Qur’an mentions that Jinn are made of smokeless flame or "the fire of a scorching wind". They have the ability to change their shape. Like human beings, the jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent.
The Jinn are mentioned frequently in the Qur’an, and there is a surah entitled Sūrat al-Jinn in the Quran. Islamic scholars have ruled that it is apostasy to disbelieve in one of Allah's creations. Some research by the American Jewish Committee has shown that the belief in jinn has fallen compared to the belief in angels in other Abrahamic traditions.

Oh, Genie's. Sure. I caught one last week coming out of my pizza.

I really like this topic. For sure, without any doubt at all, most people who read about this will ridicule the whole notion. And, I too took this idea with a grain of salt, initially. Doing so made sense. It fits into the world we've constructed.
But, what I have seen - not just read through second or third accounts written by people who never were in the places or situations they write about - among local Muslim healers in East Africa made me and perhaps it would you, if you were with me, take the subject of jinns a bit more seriously.
