POSSESSION OF THE GIANTS OVER THE HUMAN BODY : A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RELIGIOUS AND SECULAR NARRATIVES

Abstract

The concept of possession of spirits and jinn over the human body has been recognized in many religions of the world, including Islam. From a materialistic point of view, this position is controversial, because in this aspect the question arises: How can an immaterial, invisible force control and operate the physical body in a positive or negative way? In side discussions of religion and science, this topic has also become the center of attention in academia. Followers of traditional religious thought accept texts related to it without hesitation, while followers of the rationalist approach offer various interpretations of these traces and traditions in order to make metaphysical matters a modern science, to be accepted through their application. In this article, the religious narrative is first introduced by presenting three points of the possession of jinn on the human body. Then, explaining the secular point of view, the rationalistic religious approach is described in detail. In the latter, a comparison was made between them, and a more correct position was determined.
