For those who believe in the existence of demonic possessions in Islam, how do you explain the accounts of possessions by Hinduist deities or Christian/Jewish/Buddhist spirits and demons?
I have seen and heard of some very descriptive accounts of people's encounters with demonic possessions and exorcisms. However, my issue with believing in them is that they come from a variety of different belief systems. Some come from Muslims, some come from Christians, some come from Buddhists, and some come from Hinduists or Jews. All of them are equally as convincing.
Those who are possessed by Hinduist deities experience an intense bliss state and even have the option to live in complete symbiosis in with the said deity. A Christian demon is able to dwell in one's flesh and this can be cast out through prayer and fasting- they fear religious scripture and holy water blessed by a member of the clergy. I've heard stories of Muslims being possessed by Islamic demons- they speak in strange voices/languages, they seize, etc. This being is cast out through Islamic scripture and holy water from Mecca. In Buddhism, spirits, ghosts, and demons can overtake a person's mind and body.
All of these accounts are equally as detailed and personal. But these religions are mutually exclusive. This world cannot be controlled by both monotheistic and polytheistic systems. How can Hinduist deities exist in the same reality and Buddhist spirits and demons? How do you decide who's records are more valid than the other objectively?
