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.
