An Islamic scholar, a psychiatrist and a spiritual healer who uses the Koran to treat people possessed by jinns have come together to help Turki, a 29-year-old Saudi who has been chained to a bed for over six years after, according to his father, being possessed by a female jinn.
Turki's father said the three men are Muhammad Al-Suhaili, professor of Shariah at Umm Al-Qura University, Dr. Rajab Bersali, a psychiatrist at Hira Mental Hospital, and Ahmad Al-Shahrani, a spiritual healer.
The three men met Turki's father at the Arab News office in Mecca where they discussed how they will treat the 29-year-old using both spiritual and modern medical means.
Al-Shahrani spoke to the jinn and called on her to stop tormenting Turki, accept Islam and fear the consequences of her actions. He then recited verses of the Qur'an on some olive oil that had herbs mixed in. The oil was then sprinkled over Turki, who immediately seemed relaxed.
" I'm confident he can be treated, although it will take months. Once the jinn has been removed, Turki will need psychiatric help," he said.
Dr. Bersali said it seems that Turki is schizophrenic and mentally disturbed. "I strongly believe that Al-Shahrani's way of spiritual healing will help him. Once he is done, we will be able to focus on helping him overcome his experience and treating his schizophrenia," he said.
