Maryam: The Untold Story

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY PODCAST "BELENGGU JIN KAFIR"

- If you'll excuse me. - Take care.

Maryam.

My name is Maryam.

I'm going to tell a story

I've never shared with anyone.

I've been living alongside a king of the jinns

who claims to love me.

Based on what I know,

he's from the highest rank of jinn.

I can't say his name,

because I know

he's behind me right now.

- Isn't that Maryam? - Yeah.

She's always by herself.

I heard she hangs out with demons.

What a weirdo.

Why won't the other kids play with me?

They say I'm weird, that I talk to myself.

They say you're evil, even though you're kind.

You always give me money for popsicles.

Let's play.

- Weirdo! - What a freak!

She's friends with demons!

She's gone?

He's not a demon! He's kind!

Prophet Muhammad spread Islam with his close companions,

and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq was among them.

His full name was Abdullah ibn Abu Quhafa.

I WILL ALWAYS PROTECT YOU

"As-Siddiq" meaning "the truthful" was a title given to him by the Prophet.

Maryam.

Why don't you explain the history of Adam and Eve?

Ifrit jinn have been around since the days of Prophet Sulaiman…

Ifrit jinn have been around since the days of Prophet Sulaiman.

One that helped move the Queen of Sheba's throne to Prophet Sulaiman,

which resulted in her embracing Islam.

This jinn is notoriously powerful and ruthless.

Maryam!

How did you even come up with that?

Are you possessed or something?

Maryam.

You sure are friends with demons!

Silence, everyone!

- You're one of them! - Demon!

He's my friend, not a demon!

You're the evil ones!

No!

Ifrit jinn have been around since the days of Prophet Sulaiman.

One that helped move the Queen of Sheba's throne to Prophet Sulaiman,

Help!

Oh, my God! I seek forgiveness from God!

Stop!

No!

- Forgive me! Forgive me! - Help!

Help!

Forgive me!

Cruel! You're cruel!

You're cruel!

You're cruel!

You went too far!

I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Shaitan.

In God's name, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

God, protect me from the Shaitan's whispers,

and I seek protection

so they don't get near me.

In God's name, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Allah, there is no god except Him.

He is always alive and never sleeps.

Everything in the skies and the earth belongs to Him.

No one can speak to Him on behalf of anyone else, unless He allows it.

He knows what happened and what will happen.

No one can know anything about Him unless He wants them to.

His throne is bigger than the skies and the earth.

He doesn't get tired of guarding them, He is the Most High, the Greatest.

In God's name, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Say He is Allah, the One.

Allah, the Eternal Refuge.

He does not give birth, nor was He born.

And there is nothing equal to Him.

Pitiful mortals!

The child belongs to me!

Who are you?

What is your name?

Who are you?

I've been by her side since the day she was born.

Moving as the Earth spins,

like wind through the air,

like water to the waves.

Which tribe do you belong to?

Ifrit.

By invoking the name of Allah, no harm shall come

from anything in the heavens or the earth.

Truly, He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

By invoking the name of Allah, no harm shall come

from anything in the heavens or the earth…

I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Shaitan.

In God's name, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Thank God.

To put it simply,

jinn can take on any shape

and enter humans through all kinds of ways.

It could be through haram food

dirty money,

or unclean places.

It could be anything.

Only Allah knows for sure.

What should we do, Kyai?

Is Maryam going to need constant ruqyah?

For how long?

The jinn attached to Maryam

is the king of all jinns.

An Ifrit.

According to Wahb ibn Munabbih and Abu Salih,

Ifrit is as massive as a mountain.

The Ifrit is an ancient jinn believed to have existed

even before Prophet Adam.

This jinn is known to be powerful, violent

and dangerous.

They are also commonly involved in black magic practices.

I see.

Maryam mentioned that.

I thought she was just making it up.

I'm not sure how Maryam

ended up attached to Ifrit,

but I promise that from now on,

I will help protect her.

Our position as humans is above that of the jinn.

God willing, we can overcome this.

Maryam,

do you like

your friend?

Yeah.

But he hurt my classmates.

I don't like that.

Kyai,

my friend won't bother me anymore, right?

God willing.

If this keeps up, the other kids won't want to be my friends.

Just make sure you don't give up.

Thank you, Kyai.

We should go.

Okay.

- Peace be upon you. - And upon you peace.

Farhan.

Rizki.

Is she okay, Kyai?

If God wills.

How's your Al-Qiyamah memorization?

- Thank God, I've memorized it. - Thank God.

- And you? - Not yet, Kyai.

Come on, let's hear it.

I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Shaitan.

Mom, my friend won't bother me anymore, right?

If God wills, dear.

Maryam,

someone's outside, the one who gave you the necklace.

The necklace looks great on you.

You look beautiful.

Shall we?

See you, Aunty!

Oh, God!

Wait here.

Come on.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Come on, Bagas. I keep telling you.

You wanna end up like me?

That's just you being reckless, Adi.

Sorry, he doesn't mean it.

No, this is on me.

I'll take you home.

Bagas!

Yes, sir?

Are you and Bagas dating?

He drives you around now, huh?

If you have a boyfriend, is your demon buddy cool with it?

Don't want Bagas ending up like Adi, with a hole in his head.

You'll break his heart at this rate.

I think it's too late. He gave her a necklace.

New necklace, how nice.

Maryam is so lucky.

Getting gifts from demons and guys.

Mar, is it true your demon friend gives you money?

We'd like some too.

Watch it. He'll haunt you too.

Where is he, then?

You're asking for trouble!

Mr. Taufiq said we're low on fish.

Come with me to the bay after maghrib.

- The bay? - Yeah.

That's where demons get freaky!

- What demon gets freaky? - Mar, you're filling in for Kiki.
