Dream - The term "khodam" may not be unfamiliar to Dream's friends. Especially for those of you who like to surf on social media, especially TikTok. Because lately, the phenomenon of checking khodam has become its own trend in Indonesian society. Moreover, this khodam checking is done live on TikTok with quite a large audience. They are usually curious about their khodam and make it as entertainment.

Khodam and qorin have different meanings. Khodam itself comes from the Arabic word 'Khodim' which means 'assistant'. Jin khodam is a jin assistant. It is called khodam because it interacts with its close companions among humans and is willing to help. Therefore, sometimes it can do anything like humans in general. Meanwhile, jin qorin is a devil who has a special task to spread evil and mislead humans with the permission of Allah SWT.

"Khodam and qorin also have differences in terms of effort. Someone can be followed by a khodam jinn because they are sought after. Whereas the qorin jinn does not need to be sought after because everyone essentially already has one."

"If previously it was explained that qorin does not require effort, while khodam requires effort. Well, the way to obtain this khodam can be done through several ways. For example, through fasting and wirid or special practices to attract specific khodam that is desired."

"It is impossible for jinn to help humans for free. Jinn help because humans are willing to serve them. Besides that, it should be known that the only human who can control jinn is Prophet Sulaiman (as). As explained in Surah Shad verse 35:"

Sulaiman prays: "O my Lord, forgive me and grant me a power that no one else will have after me. Indeed, You are the Ultimate Bestower." Prophet Sulaiman (as) possessed miracles that no other human being had, which was the ability to control and dominate the jinn.

Every human being is followed by a jinn called qorin. The existence of this jinn is to influence humans to do evil, except for the qorin that follows Prophet Muhammad. That jinn even converted to Islam, so it encouraged Prophet Muhammad to do good. Prophet Muhammad said, "Every one of you has been sent a qorin (companion) from the jinn."

Then, a friend asked: "Including you, O Rasulullah?" He answered: "Including me, but Allah helped me to subdue him, so that he entered Islam. Therefore, he did not command me except for what is good." (HR. Muslim and Ibn Hibban and others)

Qorin itself is a devil from the jinn. This is as explained in the book Majmu' Fatawa. Where Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen was asked, "What is qorin?" He answered, "Qorin is a devil assigned to mislead humans with the permission of Allah. He is tasked with commanding evil and preventing what is good."

Allah SWT says in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 268: "Satan promises poverty to you and orders immorality, while Allah promises forgiveness and bounty from Him. Allah is All-Encompassing and All-Knowing. However, if Allah SWT bestows His grace upon His servant in the form of a good, honest, and obedient heart to Allah SWT, then that person will be helped by Allah SWT so as not to be influenced by the temptations and disturbances of the jinn. In this way, they will not go astray."
