Why do jinns make us sin
Q0058: Asalamu alaykum, if a person finds they commit a sin done In private constantly and cannot stop even though they detest the sin, what can they do and does the jinn do this out of desire or because it is a sin and they enjoy making people sin?

Jazak Allah khair for clarifying your question. I won't post the exact details of your clarification but I will reply back within the context. From the very first moment a jinn possesses the human body is a sin (oppression) and to make matters worse they encourage the person they possess to sin. So it is a darkness upon darkness.

"Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut. They take them out of the light into darkness. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
(Surah Baqarah 2:257)
It is important to look at the situation in context. The reason why jinns are reluctant to leave is because they have warmth, shelter, food all of which they absorb from the human body. They get entertainment by making people watch T.V, play computer games and read useless materials. This is mentioned in hadith
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying,
"If a person mentions the Name of Allah upon entering his house or eating, Satan says, addressing his followers: 'You will find no where to spend the night and no dinner.' But if he enters without mentioning the Name of Allah, Satan says (to his followers); 'You have found (a place) to spend the night in, and if he does not mention the Name of Allah at the time of eating, Satan says: 'You have found (a place) to spend the night in as well as food."'
[Muslim].
A person could be possessed for many reasons, but more often then not, when the jinn is of opposite gender to the person it has possessed it ends up "falling in love" with the; Especially if they have been possessed for a long time, maybe from childhood.
I use the term "falling in love" very loosely because although they think it's love, in reality its lust. The jinn only needs to look deeply into its heart to see the reality. If you truly love someone then you wouldn't harm them. Possessing a person and edging them do the actions of the people of Hellfire is the greatest harm you can do to a person.
As well as stealing food and warmth from they also get physical pleasure from the person by getting them to indulge in actions and thoughts that will lead to sexual pleasure.
People who are possessed at childhood tend to be obsessed with sexuality even though they do not understand why. A child know by fitra that the action is wrong and usually finds sexual things weird or distasteful. However the jinns cause excitement and make the child feels good when they indulge in actions such as collecting semi nude images.
This may also lead the child to reach puberty early.
The most intense form of pleasure a jinn can get through a human being is when they physically engage in sexual activity. the jinn may also seek to harm the zygote before it life is breathed into it. (After which it is protected by angles).

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
"If anyone of you, when having sexual intercourse with his wife, says: In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you grant us [i.e. Coming offspring] from Satan and if it is destined that they should have a child, then Satan will never be able to harm him."
[Sahih Bukhari 7/94 and Sahih Muslim 2/1058]
If the person forgets to read the dua before having intercorse or engaing in the private sin then the jinn will get pleasure from the act.
If the person does not fall into such sins then the jinn will try to give the person an erotic dream and the jinn get pleasure through this. May Allah protect us from their evil.
The private sin is like a double edge sword, on one hand it makes the jinn more lustful towards you and on the other hand it tends to make a person having low self esteem, feel depressed, worthless, reclusive, difficult to worship Allah- all of which serves the purpose of the jinn.
Shaytan wants you to indulge sin so you'll be too ashamed to have high and lofty goals. They all share the same goal as their father Iblis to destroy the mankind and take them all to Hellfire.
A practicing person might get some very sickening thoughts and feel so ashamed of themselves. But you have to remember these thoughts are the thoughts of shaytan. Not your thoughts. It is the shaytan that will be accountable not you. As long as you don't act on them.
I know you must miss that innocent self that you once were. But even now you are pure, a good Muslim. If you feel low and dirty it is because the sins have covered you. The shayeteen is filthy. When you strive you will feel pure again.
So in summary the jinn causes a person to commit sins of the sexual nature so they can get pleasure and weaken the person. The most dangerous weapons of shaytan are desires and doubts, as mentioned in the Quran.

Practical Advice
This will be an up hill climb to recovery, like climbing the side of a hill. You might feel weak right now and want to give up but remember this is a plot of shaytan. As long as you don't give up, shaytan is doomed to fail insha Allah.
I will show you how to overcome the waswasah, by the Help of Allah you will be able to stop these waswasah completely but you have to be willing to trust me.
1) Every time the shaytan reminds you of your past- remind shaytan of his future i.e. Hell fire.
If you shed even one drop of tear out of fear of Allah because of your past mistakes then indeed Allah Loves the one who repents to Him and will reward you with Paradise insha Allah. As for the shaytan he will most likely never repent so he can try his best to overcome the slaves of Allah and enjoy this short world life but in the end he will have an eternal destruction.
2) You need to make a commitment right now that from today this moment you won't commit another sin. Because sin is what give shaytan such a strong grip on you when in reality shaytan is weak. When we sin we come weaker than even shaytan.
You're probably thinking its not possible to give up sin but I'm telling you it is. I'm going to give you a weapon that will prevent the shaytan from giving you waswasah and without waswasah you will stand at least 95% chance of avoiding sin. And with sins out the window, you'll be able to wake for fajr with ease, you'll feel more motivated to do good deeds!
So make a commitment right now that you will resist using the below technique.
3) Every time shaytan gives you any kind of thought, wheather it's to commit a sin or leave a good deed then punish the shaytan by saying "astaghfirullah" (Oh Allah forgive me) at least ten times, meaning it sincerely
Trust me shaytan will come at you and throw his most at you for approx. 20 min constantly give you waswasah to do sin, contact xyz woman or man etc but if you resist for just 20 min you will- for the first time ever be at a stage where you are strong than shaytan and he will fail. This is a tried and tested method.
By making this in to a regular habit, and keep doing this, after 2 or 3 days the shaytan will realize that his plan to weaken you is only helping you do more good deeds and will give up giving you waswasah altogether. Shaytan hates it so much when a Muslim repents to Allah, you are not accountable for these thoughts as they are not from you, rather you will be rewarded for not listening to them and making istighfar.
What's the proof for this?

"From the evil of the whisperer (devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after one remembers Allah)
[Surah an Naas 114]
The tafseer of this verse tells us that the shayateen flee from the person when he makes dhikr of Allah.
The heart of men is like a fortress. Shaytan will come and tempt you to lower the draw bridge and let him in. He knows your weakness and will tempt you with those things. But you need to resist.
If you give in, you've lowered the door bridge and you've let him in. You have failed.
When you keep remembering Allah- say astaghfirullah 10 times for ever thought, every time he gives you a sinful thought straight away don't contemplate on the thought. Feel disgusted by it. Ask Allah to forgive you as though its a sin you committed. 20 minutes on the first occasion you start this method then after that with in three days they waswasah will have disappeared.
But remember to thank Allah (azza wa jall) and praise Him constantly. If you remember Allah when you're walking, driving, waiting, everyday mundane task the shaytan will keep away from you.
In the heart that is full of Allah's remembrance there is no room for the sinful waswasah of shaytan!!

“Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habit.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”
4) The most important think to be wary of is your own thoughts.
The more you think about the sinful thoughts and suggestions you get the more likely it is that you'll fall in. If you don't cut the sinful thoughts off, right from the very on set, an hour down the line you will find yourself committing the sin all over again.
It is like you are fasting and you know there is a cake in the kitchen. If you ignore it and keep away from then you are are. But shaytan will tempt you to go a few steps closer to the door you don't need to open it. But when you get closer you can smell the delicious smell of the cake, and then just a quick peak at the cake, then a step closer and closer until before you know it you're eating the cake.
Cut the waswasah off from the roots. Many people think that they have a strong need for physical intimacy but when you're heart is connected to Allah you will finally see how much of that was actually your own desires and how much is from shaytan.
In many cases you will notice as much as 80% reduction.
5) Pray Salah

5) Pray Salah
Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse)...
(Al-Ankaboot 29:45)
How does salah prevent one from every type of immorality?
The answer is if we prayed the way we were meant to pray then it would affect us.
a) Pray as thought you are standing in front of Allah, as though Allah is Seeing you and you are seeing Him. Would you feel comfortable going stand before Allah knowing only last night you committed a major sin? So it protects you during the whole period before you go to salah.
b) Pray as though it is your last prayer and the only thing you have to do after you finish is die. Would you be contemplating or planning you commit sins before the next salah if you prayed every salah like this?
