This book explores the agency of Jinn, the so-called "demons of
Islam". They are regarded as mostly invisible and highly mobile
creatures. In a globalized world with manifold forms of forced and
voluntary migrations, Jinn are likewise on the move, interfering in
the human world and affecting the mental and physical health of
Muslims. This continuous challenge has so far been mainly addressed
by traditional Muslim health management and by the so-called
spiritual medicine or medicine of the Prophet. This book shifts
perspective. Its interdisciplinary chapters deal with the
transformation of manifold cultural resources by first analyzing
the doctrinal and cultural history of Jinn and the treatment of
Jinn affliction in Arabic texts and other sources. It then
discusses case studies of Muslims and current health management
approaches in the Middle East, namely in Egypt and Syria. Finally,
it turns to the role of Jinn in a number of migratory settings such
as Spain, Denmark, Great Britain and Guantanamo.
