When Tucker Carlson sat down with filmmaker Oliver Stone’s son Sean Stone and the conversation turned to King Solomon, the Jinn, Freemasonry, and the occult, millions of viewers were left with more questions than answers. But for Muslims, these questions have never lacked clarity. Islam — through the Quran and the prophetic tradition — offers the most complete, coherent, and spiritually grounded explanation of these unseen beings: what the mainstream calls demons, aliens, interdimensional entities, or paranormal visitors. In TheDeenShow Episode 1181, host Brother Eddie sits down with Imran Hussein of the Sapiens Institute and the Islamic Research into Exotic Phenomena (IREP) team to unpack what Tucker is missing, set the record straight on Prophet Sulaiman (peace be upon him), and make the case that the Quran holds the answer to one of humanity’s most enduring mysteries.
Islam Holds the Answer Tucker Carlson Is Searching For
In the Tucker Carlson–Sean Stone conversation, Stone describes King Solomon’s legendary power as rooted in his ability to command the Jinn — beings the Western world reduces to “genies” and Freemasonry mythologises through the figure of the temple builder Hiram Abiff. Stone goes further, recounting his own disturbing personal experiences: phone calls from numbers displaying “666” with voices claiming his soul — encounters he himself connects to the realm of the Jinn. Tucker, who previously explored UFOs and aliens with Joe Rogan as possible non-human intelligences, is edging closer to a truth Islam has always stated plainly. According to Imran Hussein, what makes Islam uniquely qualified to address this subject is not speculation but divine revelation — the Quran contains an entire chapter called Surah Al-Jinn, and the Islamic tradition provides precise, granular knowledge about these beings: their creation from smokeless fire, their moral diversity, their methods of deception, and the identity of their leader Iblis (Satan) — whom the Quran explicitly identifies not as a fallen angel but as a Jinn who refused, out of arrogance, to bow before Adam. The IREP team’s published work, including the booklet The Jinn Hypothesis co-authored by Imran Hussein and Farouq McDermott (available on the Sapiens Institute website and Amazon), argues through careful research that the modern UFO phenomenon is most plausibly explained as Jinn manifestations — these beings adapting to contemporary human expectations just as they once appeared as gods to ancient civilisations, drawing people into awe and false worship.
“What’s unique about Islam is that it gives us a lot of insight into who these beings are, their nature, why they deceive people, who they follow, what they do, how they trick us — all the details are given within Islam, within the grand cosmic picture. It’s very powerful.” — Imran Hussein, Sapiens Institute / IREP
- The Jinn are real, unseen beings created from smokeless fire — affirmed in the Quran through an entire dedicated chapter (Surah Al-Jinn), not mythology or metaphor.
- What Tucker Carlson and others are exploring as UFOs, aliens, and paranormal phenomena are, from the Islamic perspective, most likely modern manifestations of the Jinn — adapting their appearance to resonate with each era’s worldview.
- Sean Stone’s account of receiving calls from “666” numbers with demonic voices mirrors well-documented Jinn behaviour: deception, intimidation, and attempts to draw human beings toward the occult and away from God.
- Islam unambiguously identifies Iblis (Satan) as a Jinn — not a fallen angel — resolving a theological confusion that has troubled Jewish and Christian traditions since the Book of Enoch (~300 BC).
- Freemasonry and initiatory secret societies are linked through their own rituals and lore to contact with these entities, tracing back to ancient occult texts — making engagement with such practices a serious spiritual danger, not an intellectual curiosity.
- The good amongst the Jinn do not interfere in human affairs; it is almost exclusively the evil Jinn — the Shayateen — who manipulate, deceive, and corrupt human lives and societies.
Clearing the Name of Prophet Sulaiman — and What the Deception Is Really About
The most consequential clarification in this episode concerns Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon, peace be upon him) himself. Popular narratives — from Freemasonic lore to occult research and certain Biblical passages — portray Solomon as a practitioner of dark arts who controlled the Jinn through magical rituals and grimoires. This, Imran Hussein explains with scholarly precision, is a calculated slander rooted in the deceptions of the Shayateen. The Quran addresses this directly in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:102): Allah declares clearly that Prophet Sulaiman did not disbelieve and did not practice magic — the authority he wielded over the Jinn was granted by divine permission alone, a miracle from God, not the product of occult ritual. The classical Islamic exegesis, including the scholarship of Ibn Kathir, clarifies what actually happened: during the time of Sulaiman, the evil Jinn were teaching people black magic and circulating books on occult practices. Sulaiman, as a righteous prophet and ruler, gathered all of those books to protect society from shirk — associating partners with God — and buried them beneath his throne. After his death, the Shayateen led people to where those books were hidden and falsely claimed Solomon himself had written them. This deliberate lie, launched by the very beings whose works Sulaiman had suppressed, seeded the Freemasonic and occultist mythology that endures to this day. The same pattern of prophetic slander extends further: the Book of Kings attributes idol worship to Solomon, incest to Lot, and drunkenness to Noah. These fabrications serve a precise strategic purpose: if the prophets — sent by God as exemplary guides for all of humanity — can be portrayed as morally compromised, then human beings lose their highest reference point for character, conduct, and faith. Brother Eddie identifies this as one of Shaytan’s most sophisticated traps — because when the guides fall in our eyes, we lose our north star.
“The message has always been the same. Abraham, Moses, Noah, all of the prophets — the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, Jesus, peace be upon him — worship God alone. He is uniquely one. He has no partners. He created you. You will return to Him. The message has fundamentally always been the same.” — Imran Hussein
For Tucker Carlson, for Sean Stone, and for every sincere seeker navigating the labyrinth of secret societies, UFO disclosure, and spiritual phenomena — Islam is not merely one more tradition offering partial answers to ancient questions. It is the living, preserved guidance of God that clears the confusion, names the deception, restores the honour of the prophets, and returns the human being to their Creator. The Quran’s account of Prophet Sulaiman is not a cautionary tale about a man seduced by power — it is the story of a prophet granted miraculous divine authority, exercised always within the boundaries of God’s law, as a test and a blessing. That same God who gave Sulaiman command over the Jinn, the winds, and the animal kingdom sent every prophet throughout human history with one unwavering message: worship Him alone. For anyone genuinely seeking truth in a world saturated with occult distractions, manufactured mysteries, and spiritual misinformation, the invitation stands open — read the Quran. The clarity you are searching for has been there all along, and many are making dua that Tucker Carlson, who has been speaking much truth of late, finds his way to it.
