Nahemah was a demon who adopted the appearance of a princess. Every religion, faith and culture has associated this event to satanic forces. In Arab world it is called Jathoom.

We find details of various entities in almost every religion and faith that can kill or posses a sleeping person. These entities want to control a man or a woman for their evil purpose. We also find many famous painters who depicted these demonic creatures in their art. The subject always attracts movie makers. Every year we find countless movies on this theme. One of the most famous movie series on this topic was A Nightmare On Elm Street.
It is also important to note that some people claims that they were abducted by aliens or some other entity of outer space. The symptoms described by the abductees are similar to attacks of terrifying creatures in sleep. The X Files tv series based on the subject is still very popular.
As mentioned earlier that this phenomenon has different names in different countries and faiths. Modern medical science calls it paralysis in sleep or Sleep Paralysis.
Almost in every house there is a person or persons suffering with this problem. Most people do not pay attention to it that why they were afraid during sleep. It has also noticed that a person going through this trauma hide it from other and this makes them mentally and physically ill.
Researchers have two different opinions on this subject. According to one group a person goes under the sleep paralysis attacks due to the strong repression of various desires to have happy life. On the other hand the second group say the sleep paralysis is the result of mental stress and various worries of life.
Medical science says that sleep paralysis occurs when brain tells the body to relax and body enters into state of almost paralysis. It happens while going to deep sleep or coming out of it. At this moment our brain and body lose contact from few seconds to few minutes and person under this condition feel that some ghost or evil spirit has attacked him.
Few also raise this question that does sleep paralysis bring death. There are different opinions on this issue. Some experts say that sleep paralysis only stops the body to move for a short period of time and it has no connection with death. While some experts believes that sleep paralysis can kill a person. They provide evidence from human history. In 80’s people of Hmong tribe moved to United States. The Hmong people usually lives in China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. They were a group of 117 male immigrants. Out of 117 men 116 died during their sleep in camps associated for these immigrants. Their age was around 33 years. They were in good health and there were no reports of any sickness among them.
Some force was killing these Hmong males in their sleep. Doctors were unable to find the cause of death so they termed these deaths as Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome. It was decided to work on this matter in depth. During the research it was found that these 116 men died due to their belief in spirits. It was also found that Hmong people believes that if they do not pray or worship regularly and do not perform their religious rituals according to traditions then they will not be protected and evil spirits will definitely come to harm or kill them.
We cannot say that due to some physical problems a person suffers with sleep paralysis. It is also possible that sleepy paralysis have a connection with spiritual health of a person. Therefore it is better to check the physical and spiritual health of the person with sleep paralysis. If medical treatment fails to the cure then it will be better to also go for some spiritual treatment.
We find many prayers of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) that should be recited at night for protection.
It is a fact that physical health has great connection with spiritual health. It is also important to note the negative effects of planets causing sleep problems.
Ibn e Al Mansoor in his book Lisan Ul Arab writes that Jathoom is an evil dream which comes at night during sleep. The entity that attacks the person during this dream is called Jathoom.
Ibn e Seena in his famous book Al Meezan writes that this phenomenon is called choking the throat and in Arabic language it is called Jathoom and Al Nendlan.
It is a belief in our society that no other entity can harm humans. If we consider it as a fact then what is our stand on the prayers of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) which are for the protection from the harms of unseen creations. In Holy Quran we find these words at the start of Surah Al Falaq that “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, And from the evil of darkness when it settles”. These verses prove that some harmful entities do exist in the darkness of night of which we have no knowledge.
In Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim the companion of Holy Prophet Abu Qatada (may ALLAH be please with him) narrates that the Holy Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) said that good dreams are from ALLAH and bad dreams comes from Satan.
Sleep paralysis also has a strong connection with a terrifying dream therefore we can say that sleep paralysis is the work of some evil entities which wants to harm a person.
