Sleep Paralysis

Some of us have experienced the phenomenon of overindulgence. Want to wake up but cannot, difficult to move and want to scream is also difficult. Not to mention added some spooky shadow for example being chased something that is scary or being threatened if we do not move. Is this really a devils ? Or is there a logic that can be ingrained by reason?

Based on the medical this is called sleep paralysis. This can happen to anyone and claimed that everyone has experienced it once or twice. And the good thing to know is that sleep paralysis is not dangerous.

Until now the exact cause of sleep paralysis is unknown. Presumably the reason is sleeping habits facing up, sleep patterns indeterminate (lack of sleep), stress, and sudden changes in the environment or lifestyle.

In terms of Shari'a

Could it be because of the devil's interference? Can be. This can also be a combination of both like crazy. If he is a lot of trouble and stress, he can go crazy if left and stacked. People like this heart, faith and soul weak so easily influenced the devil even penetrate.

And dreams can also come from the devil is a nightmare and a dream that can make the perpetrator fear or feel disturbed,

Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, from Abu Hurairah radhiallahu 'anhu,

"There are three kinds of dreams: [1] a whisper of heart, [2] feared by demons, and [3] good tidings of God." [1]

In the lafadz of Muslim history,

"When the Day of Resurrection is near, it is rarely a Muslim dream that is not true. And the one of his most true dreams among you is the most true of his words. The dream of a Muslim is part of 45 kinds of nubuwwah (revelation). There are three kinds of dreams: (1) Good dreams as good news from God. (2) a frightening or sad dream, coming from satan. (3) and dreams arising from the illusion of delusion, or the imagination of a person. Therefore, if you dream that you do not like, wake up, then pray, and do not tell others. "

So dreams have three causes:

1.the good dream from God

2. bad dreams of syaithan

3. dream "sleeping flower" is a dream because it is carried away by the mind or is surprised by an event or there is something that is constantly being thought

to prevent it, We do something before going to bed that has been taught by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam in the form of prayers before going to bed. And also when awakened from sleep because of nightmares. Because God guards us during sleep. The state of sleep does make us negligent so some scholars (some opinions) explain that sleep is dead "small".

As in the verse.

The Word of God Ta'ala,

"God holds the soul (person) when his death and (hold) the spirit (person) who has not died in his sleep; So He withholds the spirit which He has established His death and He releases another spirit until the appointed time. Verily in that are signs for the people of reasoning. "(Az-Zumar: 42)

Ibn'Abbas radhiallahu 'anhuma, said,

"Surely the soul of the living and the soul of the dead meets in a dream. They know each other as God wants them to be. When each one is about to return to his body, God withholds the soul of the dead by his side, and God releases the soul of the living to his body, up to a certain time limit during his life. "
