A Frightening Sleep Paralysis Shook My Faith
I just went through the most terrifying sleep paralysis ever. Normally, before bed, I always recite Surah Al-Fatihah, Ayat al-Kursi, and the three Quls (Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas), but last night I completely forgot. I ended up on my back cuz I couldn't sleep on my right side like usual. As I was dozing off, suddenly my body froze. I tried so hard to keep my eyes open, and then I saw something above me, saying awful things. I was petrified and couldn't move at all. I started reciting the surahs in my mind, trying to protect myself. But then something happened I’ve never faced-this thing started reciting the Qur’an with me, laughing loudly and mocking, like it was saying, "You think this will help you?" I kept going, recited three times, and Alhamdulillah, I finally broke free and woke up. Has any brother or sister experienced this? During sleep paralysis, did the entity recite the Qur’an along with you? The mocking isn’t what bothers me since I figure it was just trying to scare me. But it reciting the Qur’an really disturbed me. For a split second, I almost doubted if the Qur’an and Allah could truly protect me. Alhamdulillah, I know that doubt was just from the fear, but it shook me deeply. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has been through something like this. May Allah protect us all.
