Abdel Aati Alia - Fkih

Fkihs are engaged with religion and the Koran. They council people how bring their daily life in line with religion. Many seek the Fkihs advice concerning questions how to live together during marriage. Also job seekers, ill people, and unmarried women advanced in years, seek his advice and blessing. Many people believe that intercessions are more effective then own prayers.

In Morocco many people believe in magic and the evil eye. In order to protect people from evil, the fkih also uses talismans and scribbles. He is a very good listener, someone who analyses the problems of people, and someone who comforts people and provides them with advice. One could probably call him the Moroccan version of a psychotherapist.
 
Abdel Aati once told, that he went out to a deserted area after he had been fasting for several days. He stayed there until he met a jinn. Until this time, this jinn with the name Mimoun is working together with him and helps to exorcise patients, which are possessed by demons.
