The proof in the Quran that shows that people really get possessed is in the following ayat:{ "... do not stand except like the one that theshaitan has touched."} Baqara: 275
And in the time of prophet Muhammed (May Allah'speace and blessings be upon him), he said to a personthat was possessed, " Exit oh enemy of Allah. Exit ohenemy of Allah."
In another narration, he (May Allah's peace andblessings be upon him) said, " Exit oh enemy ofAllah. I am the messenger of Allah. " The following information is from shaikh AbdulRahman Kajajj, who has been an imam for more than 20years, and has performed more than 100 exorcisms onmany people that became possessed:
A person may become possessed and overpowerd by ajinn for 4 reasons:
1. The person commits many sins.
2. The person laughs too much, and heedless of theenvironment.
3. The person is overly scared (paranoid) and getsaffected.
4. The person is overly forgetfull and gets affected.
These jinns that possess people are of manytypes; they may speak a variety of languages just likepeople, and may be muslims or of other faiths likeJewish, Christian, Sikh just like people. They alsoare of different sexes. A male jinn could possesss achild, in which case the voice would become deeper. Afemale jinn may also possess a male, in which case the
voice may become higher pitched. When the victim becomes possessed, the victim
does not recall any of the events that occur whilebeing in that state. The jinn speaks through the bodyof the victim. The jinn may possess the person for along period of time, even for years. It is recommendedto record the sounds coming from the posessed before theexorcism, as the person will not recollect any of theevents that occurred while being possessed. This waythe person can hear himself or herself in the previouscondition.
In some possessions, the jinn would easily exitthe body. However in other cases, the jinn will refuseto leave. The shaikh mentions that it is like anapartment that is for rent. If the jinn likes theplace (i.e. the body), it will not want to leave. Thejinn would prefer to stayin a body that is used tocommiting sins. In some cases, the jinn may possess part of thebody and move throughout the body. On exiting the body, the jinn may leave by air,
i.e. through the breath, or by the flowing of blood.One can check the color of the blood that is excreted.If it is red, it indicates the jinn is still insidethe body. If the color is dark black, the jinn hasexited.

The jinn will at this point try tostart conversing. Try avoiding conversing, as the jinnwill try to weaken your resolve, and become strong.

Itmight also say that it is afraid of being harmed forsome reason. One could then tell the jinn that it canrecite ayatul kursi or some other ayats forprotection. It might say that it has no place to go.One could then tell the jinn that it could go themasjid, namely the minaret of the masjid, and be withcompany of the pious jinns.
12. The jinn may also threaten to kill or harm familymembers if it is not left alone. This is a lie, andthe person performing the exorcism should tell thejinn, that if it claims that it will kill or harmsomeone else, why doesn't it harm or kill me who isright in front of it.
13. One should continuously recite ayats from Quran,as it works like a laser in expelling the jinn.
14. Some of the jinns are peaceful, some strong, somewant to fight, some are knowledgable, some are gnorant, just like humans.
