The start of 2020 marked the beginning of my semester abroad in Amman, Jordan. We didn't end up staying for long due to covid-19, of course. Myself and three of my classmates did, however, stay for around a month and a half during which three of us shared an apartment, and while the last girl stayed with some of her friends. During this month and a half, though, the three of us who were rooming together ended up spiraling into severe mental health issues. One girl had to return home two weeks before we were called back to Denmark due to the pandemic, while myself and my roommate stuck it out. We had heard stories about Jordan, specifically the city of Petra being a place of magic and Jinns. Netflix even made a drama series called "Jinn", which was filmed in and around Amman including Petra. One night while my roomie and I were joking around in our room, a copy of the Quran, which had been standing on our desk, fell to the floor. The book was opened to Ayat Al-Kursi - The Throne Verse from the second chapter in the Quran. The significance of this verse is that it is a verse often recited as a protection against evil such as shaytan (the devil), jinn (demons), misfortune, bad luck and so on. A shiver ran down our spine and the hairs on our arms stood up. The apartment we had been staying in had had a weird feeling and vibe to it from the moment we had stepped foot into it and we had jokingly made comments about the off vibe maybe were due to there being a jinn in there with us. Both me and my roomie ran out of the room screaming at the sight of the verse it had opened to. It felt like a taunt. We both slept huddled together in a different room until we were encouraged to go back home to Denmark as the pandemic was spreading. Luckily it was only for about five more days since the incident with the Quran.
