The DARK Secret of Kala Malek's Pond

Now, the incident I am going to present in front of you was sent to us by someone named Sohel Rana, whose home is in the Sirisha Bari area of Jamalpur. However, he currently resides in Amirabad, a place in the Lohagara Upazila of Chattogram. Interestingly, the incident he sent is connected to my district, Rajbari. The person who narrated the incident to him lives in a village called Qutel in the Goalanda Upazila of Rajbari district. In that village, there is a water body, and this incident primarily revolves around that. This water body is popularly known as Kala Maniker Bil, and there is a horrifying matter related to the naming of this bil.

Let’s hear the story. This incident dates back quite a while; there was a man named Mohammad Abdul Malek living in that village. He was an agricultural worker and practiced traditional medicine as well. He owned considerable land—over 40 bighas of agricultural land. Furthermore, his homestead was decent for that time period. While he farmed, he also practiced traditional healing.

One open secret, which many were aware of but never discussed due to fear, was that everyone in the village farmed during the day, but Abdul Malek did not. He cultivated his land at night. At night, the villagers would usually go to sleep soon after dusk, as they toiled throughout the day and woke up early in the morning. So, in the early morning when they would pass by Abdul Malek's land, they would see him working there, even though no one else was seen working there during the day. It was understood that his fields were farmed by jinns. Many realized this and discussed it among themselves; however, no one would talk about it in front of him. This is how things continued.

It wasn’t that there was no work done; after they helped him, he had to provide them with good food according to their demands. Abdul Malek handled this quite well. He also engaged in various types of traditional healing practices. Thus, everything kept progressing in this manner.In the meantime, a very tragic event took place during a certain season when he managed the land cultivation with the jinn. On the last day of the cultivation, he asked the jinn's leader what they would eat. The jinn's leader had said that this time they would eat fish heads, more specifically, the heads of the rohu fish. There was a group of 100 jinn, but sometimes only 90 or 92 would show up, meaning it was never a full group of 100.

So, what he did was quite complicated; managing to get only the heads of rohu fish for 100 people was no easy task. If there are 100 people, then there needs to be 100 rohu fish, each providing a head. After purchasing these rohu fish, he had his wife cook the heads. However, while cooking, some of the heads ended up breaking. These broken heads couldn’t be served to anyone.

As it turned out, 9 of the heads were broken, so those couldn’t go to anyone's plate. This meant there were still 91 heads left for the day. Later that night, when the jinn finished their work and came for their meal, the jinn's leader had a practice of making sure that his followers received their food before he did. Once everyone else had been served their rohu fish heads, it was time for him, but when he looked at his plate, there were no rohu fish heads left.

Where did the fish heads go? He had brought enough, and then Abdul Malek told his wife about the missing heads. His wife mentioned that 9 had broken, which means there should be 91 left. But they were all arriving for 91; where was the other one? No one could find it anywhere. So again, he asked them to look properly, but it couldn't be found. The jinn's leader took this whole situation very personally and found it humiliating that he couldn’t even get a single rohu fish head despite all the work they had done.The matter is that he gets very angry, saying that if you can't bring a fish head within two months, he will kill you, and it will be a very painful death. Meanwhile, he has gone inside the house and is telling his wife to hurry up and find out where the fish head is. No one would keep a fish head in a cupboard or display it in a showcase; something must have happened—it was eaten by a cat or someone else. But where did it go? He worked very carefully, and at one point, his young son admitted that he had eaten a fish head. Now, this Abdul Malek comes to the local religious leader, saying that his son didn’t realize he had eaten a fish head. The leader then said that there would be no forgiveness for this, and you are humiliating him. Then, according to the accounts, the jinn kept his wife and children in one room, locked the door from the outside, and dragged Abdul Malek towards a nearby pond. They were screaming and crying. After that, there was a complete silence, and in the morning, Abdul Malek’s dead body was found in the pond. From that time onward, the pond is named Kala Malek’s Pond. In fact, Abdul Malek was black-skinned; his body was of a dark complexion from birth. There were many people in the village named Abdul Malek, so to identify him, he was called Kala Malek. After his death, the place essentially became known as Kala Malek’s Pond, and it still retains that name today.

Dear listeners, this incident teaches us a very important lesson. Although I have mentioned this to you several times in different contexts, it is significant to stress that making jinn work against their will or assigning them personal tasks is something that Allah granted as a miracle only to Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him). The jinn were a part of the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him); however, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not compel the jinn to work. For the Ummah of Muhammad, it is absolutely forbidden to subjugate or imprison the jinn against their will to make them work, regardless of how great a scholar, saint, or learned person one may be.

Yes, if jinn willingly perform some task without any expectation of pay, purely for the purpose of offering help, that is a different matter. Many great righteous scholars are present, and the jinn approach them for resolving their own problems or seeking mediation. The jinn try to remain in close association with these pious individuals, looking to assist humanity. These kinds of benefits do not fall into the same category. If they voluntarily do something to assist people without any exchange, only for the pleasure of Allah, then many jinn come to such esteemed figures for learning and helping others. This is entirely a separate issue. However, capturing jinn in any way and making them work is clearly and categorically forbidden, regardless of how prominent a saint, scholar, or learned person is; it is not something that we should engage in at all.

Dear listeners, many of us think that this person possesses many jinn, and he must certainly be a very great scholar. But do we really know how he has acquired those jinn? Will he ever reveal this secret? Surely, he will not, as he will attempt to showcase his wisdom through various miraculous deeds performed by the jinn, and we will approach him thinking he is a great saint, thereby risking our faith. If we keep these matters in our minds and try to understand them, then, InshaAllah, no one will be able to easily deceive us. We will learn from these issues, InshaAllah.

Dear listeners, remember that no matter how much the jinn may help people—especially if they are made to carry out some personal tasks for an individual—they will always look for an opportunity. No matter how much you feed them, they will be searching for a chance. If they find even the slightest opportunity, they will surely bring destruction. There is an incident I spoke about a long time ago, which I would like to reference now. This incident took place in Vheramara, in the Kushtia district.

In this incident, a man had bound these jinn and would take them out on a journey every night in a special palanquin. He would force the jinn to accompany him as he traveled to various places. It was quite distressing for the jinn; they were looking for an opportunity but could not find one. One day, as this man left his home for some reason, he was not in a state of ablution; he either did not remember or did not realize that he had forgotten to perform his ablution. So, on that day, the jinn said, “Master, come, get into the palanquin.” When he got in, after a while, he requested, “Master, get down. What’s the matter? Why are we rushing? Where are you taking me?” When he got down, he saw himself in the middle of a field, and far away, he could see his house.Then they said, "Why are we bringing him down here? The spirits are saying, 'O Master, you have worked us hard for a long time. We were waiting for an opportunity, and now we have it. But you are now impure; you have not performed ablution (wudu). We have been waiting for this opportunity, and now that we have it, we won't let you go.'" After that, it seems that the man received a powerful blow from a spirit. Now, what happened next? I'm explaining that people know about this incident because he didn't return home at night. In the morning, people went to the fields to work and found his dead body lying there, but no one had the courage to approach it because his dead body had no heart. It was like a deflated football; there was a body, everything seemed fine, he had flesh, but inside, there was no heart; it was flattened. Then, one of his students was called to the scene. After the student arrived, he performed some rituals and called upon the spirits during the day, but those spirits were talking to him invisibly.

The spirits said what actually happened; they said, "We had been waiting for an opportunity, and now we have taken care of him." They were saying, "As for the body, what about it? Dig seven feet down to find his skeleton." Then there was a specific place they indicated. He said he should search around that area, but the interesting or strange or frightening thing—whatever we may call it—is that the soil at that place was not loose. Usually, when someone is buried or buried in a pit, the soil is loose, right?The grass shifts there, but no, it was on top of it that there was grass. The ground was disturbed in that place, but after digging new soil with a spade, as was done to the grassy soil, after digging seven hands deep, his entire skeleton was found beneath the soil. However, blood was spilling from his skeleton, which means it was removed from his body in such a way that when a blow was struck on his head, with that single blow, his skeleton separated from his body and sank seven hands deep into the earth. But not a drop of blood came out from the body from which the skeleton had emerged. Dear listeners, you must be aware that this is about Solomon (peace be upon him). When he brought the throne of Queen Bilqis here, that throne was a solid object, meaning it was taken out from something dense and hard. Jinn can extract solid objects from solid matter. A jinn said he could bring it in the time it takes to go from sitting to standing. Later, a scholar brought it in the blink of an eye; he had knowledge of the scriptures, and this event is mentioned in the Holy Quran. That means the throne was placed in a secure area surrounded by a barrier, where no one could enter. By misleading everyone's eyes, that object was brought here, so it’s clear that those jinn were capable of removing solid objects from within solid matter.
