Ruqyah in the Quran and Sunnah

The term ‘Ruqyah’ is not specifically mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, but in several verses and Prophetic traditions, there are indications that Quranic verses and other Ruqyah dua that can heal the diseases of mankind and it also offers a sense of peace and tranquility amongst Muslims who practice it. Therefore, to feel a spiritual and physical solace, Muslims should be aware of the pivotal role of Ruqyah verses for the soul and body:

وَقُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

“And say, “Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is surely bound to vanish.” And We send down in the Quran that which is a cure and a mercy for the believers.” (Quran 17:81-2)

As Ruqyah is universally known to treat ailments known to mankind, it is also a means for all Muslims to increase their Iman, build their connection with Allah and reaffirm their tawhidic beliefs for Allah the Almighty. By curing illnesses with the aid of Quranic verses, it actually signifies our belief and reliance on the words of Allah the Most Exalted.

The Messenger of Allah, Peace and Blessings be upon him, said: “Make good use of the two cures: honey and the Quran.” (Ibn Majah)

What Should You Do Before Ruqyah?

There are certain etiquette or rules you should follow before you begin the process of Ruqyah healing to maximise the power of the treatment, InshaAllah. Here are the few things you should keep in mind:

Before you begin, perform wudhu and offer two rak’ats and make du’a to Allah Almighty. This is especially important when you perform tahajjud during the darkness of the night. Make sincere dua to Allah and ask for His assistance in healing whatever ailment you are currently enduring.

To perform Ruqyah for healing is to make sincere istighfar and avoid committing sins. Try your best to control your lust and desires, do good to one another, and if you have ever wronged someone or have performed injustice, you should restore their rights.

A powerful Ruqyah also comes from those who give sadaqah. As mentioned by our beloved Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings be upon him, he said “Treat your sick by giving Sadaqah.” (Bayhaqi). Therefore, give charity whenever you can with the intention of asking Allah for His Help.

Before you begin the process of Ruqyah, it is important to omit any animated pictures which are available at home. If you have any live photos, amulets containing indecipherable texts associated with shirk, or even evil eye amulets are to be disposed of immediately. Take the objects away by throwing them into a river, or anywhere far from home so you are protected from evil.

If you can and if it is not too burdensome for you, it is best if you stay in a state of wudhu throughout the day, especially when you sleep.

What Should You Do During Ruqyah?

أَ

Now that you have followed the steps before you perform Ruqyah, now is when the process of Ruqyah Islam takes place. Here are some of the gestures and recitations you should do:

1. When you begin the first step of Ruqyah, recite Salawat or salutations upon our beloved Prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him as an introduction of the Ruqyah treatment.

2. Secondly, you may begin reciting the Ruqyah verses below as loud and clear as you can with absolute concentration and conviction. Recite this 3 to 7 times.

Dua for Ruqyah (Quranic Verses):

(أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ

حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ)

I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from Satan, the accursed

Allah suffices me, there is no god but He, in Him I trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.

Surah Al Fatihah:

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ, الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ, مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ, إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ, اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ,صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّآلِّينَ

Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. You do we worship and You we seek help. Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have gone astray, nor of those who have gone astray.

Ayatul Kursi:

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255]

Quran 2:284-286:

ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟

سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا

كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَة�� لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

Surah Al-Ikhlas:

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Say: 'He is Allah, the One, the called upon. Who has not given birth, and has not been born, and there is none equal to Him. '

Surah Al-Falaq:

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ

وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

“I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak. From the evil of that which He created. And from the evil of darkness when it settles. And from the evil of the blowers in knots.

Surah An-Nas:

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ

مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ

إِلَـٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ

مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ

ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ

مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ

I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,

The King (or Ruler) of Mankind,

The god (or judge) of Mankind,-

From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper),-

(The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,-

Among Jinns and among men.

The Ruqyah verses below are applicable for those afflicted with black magic:

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

فَغُلِبُوا۟ هُنَالِكَ وَٱنقَلَبُوا۟ صَـٰغِرِينَ

فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْا۟ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحْرُ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۥٓ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

وَيُحِقُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَـٰحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ

And We revealed to Musa, "Throw down your staff," and, behold, it grabbed what they disassembled.

So the truth fell, and what they used to do was nullified.

So they overpowered you there and turned over in small numbers.

So when they met you, Musa said, "You have not brought magic with it. Indeed, Allah will render it invalid. Indeed, Allah does not correct the work of the corrupters." a

And God establishes the truth with His word, even if the criminals hate it.

And cast what is in your right hand, and you will catch up with what they have done. ۖ They have only made a magician's plot. And the magician will not succeed where he came from.

Dua for Ruqyah (Sunnah):

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّه التَّامَّاتِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّه التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ بَرَأَ وَ ذَرَأَ , وَ مِن شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ مِن شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيْهَا , وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا , وَ مِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ , وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ , يَا رَحْمَـٰنُ

(Ahmad)

أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ العَظِيْم , الَّذِي لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ وَ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ , وَ بِأَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لأَمْ أَعْلَمْ , وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ بَرَأَ وَ ذَرَأَ.

(Muwatta’)

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّه التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَ عِقَابِهِ , وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ , وِمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِيْنَ وَأَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ

(Ahmad)

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّه التَّامَّةِ , مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَ هَامَّةٍ , وَ مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ

(Bukhari)

Substitute the أَعُوذُ in (1) to (5) with أُعِيذُكَ when praying over others.

For (6) put your hand on the part of your body where you feel pain and say:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدَ وَ أُحَاذِرُ

(Muslim)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَعْجِيْلَ عَافِيَتِكَ , وَ صَبْرًا عَلَى بَلِيَّتِكَ , وَ خُرُوْجًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ

(Hakim)

اللَّهُمَّ رَبِّ النَّاسِ , أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ , اِشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِيْ , لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ , شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

(Bukhari)

رَبَّنَا اللَّه الَّذِي فِيْ السَّمَاءِ تَقَدَّسَ اسْمُكَ , وَ أَمْرُكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ ا��أَرْضِ , كَمَا رَحْمَتُكَ فِيْ السَّمَاءِ فَاجْعَلْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَجَعِ فَيَبْرَأَ

(Abu Dawud)

When praying on others, add the following:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِيْكَ , مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ حَاسِدٍ , اللَّهُ يَشْفِيْكَ , بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيْكَ

(Muslim)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا بِرِيْقَةِ بَعْضِنَا , يُشْفَى سَقِيْمُنَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا

(Bukhari)

أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيْمَ , رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ , أَنْ يَشْفِيْكَ

(Tarmidhi)

لَا بَأْسَ طَهُوْرٌ , إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

(Bukhari)

3. After you have recited either the Quranic verses or adhkar according to the Sunnah, it is advisable that you recite directly into the palms of your hands and blow into them. Once you’ve blown into your cupped hands, you can rub your hands over the body. Not only that, but you can also recite the Ruqyah verses whilst placing your hands over the part of the body which is inflicted with pain.

4. Besides blowing into your cupped hands, you can also recite the Ruqyah verses and blow it in a glass or jug of water. You may need to keep the mouth close to the water, breathe into it and repeatedly blow over it. The water that you’ve blown into can be used for consumption as well as bathing.

5. If you are planning to recite Ruqyah on others, place your hand on the victim’s forehead or on the part of the body afflicted in pain, recite and blow.

6. If you are on your menses and you are unable to recite, you can also opt for listening to the Ruqyah verses. However, you have to fully concentrate on the recitations and understand the meaning, as well as having a firm belief in the Help of Allah and Him Alone.

What are the Symptoms after Ruqyah?

Keep making dhikr and recite Ruqyah consistently until the symptoms disappear.

2. Extreme fatigue and muscle aches

Besides sleepiness, you might be experiencing extreme fatigue from the loss of energy you’ve performed during Ruqya treatment. The Ruqyah effect also causes negative energy to drain off of you, which is always a good thing.

3. Joint and back pain

If you’re familiar with the feeling of soreness in your joints and back when you have fever or feel extremely tired, that symptom might manifest after your first Ruqyah session as well. Don’t give up and keep on performing Ruqyah healing.

4. Problems with the digestive system

You might be feeling discomfort in the area of your digestive system and suffer problems like bloating, gas, gastric pain, heartburn and more. Try to consume some of the Sunnah foods recommended for healing like black seed, honey, barley, dates or even olive oil.

5. Headache or migraine

Having a headache is one of the most common experiences anyone can suffer from. Despite its commonality, it is quite painful to endure without proper treatment. Keep yourself hydrated, recite Ruqyah consistently and be patient if you are suffering from a severe headache.

Don’t panic when you feel tightness in the chest or if you have difficulty breathing. Keep performing Ruqyah consistently and rely on Him Alone whenever you feel this. Breathe in deeply and get some fresh air if you want to. Keep yourself in a state of calmness to avoid hyperventilation.

8. Irregular or faster heart palpitations

With the tightness of your chest, you may be experiencing irregular heartbeats, which can be very concerning if you aren’t used to it. Recite adhkar and never stop performing Ruqyah if you face this and if you feel incredibly uncomfortable by it.

9. Vomiting

If you are feeling nauseous and you vomit after the performance of Ruqyah, don’t worry. It is in fact a very good sign that evil is being put away. After you have vomited, you may find yourself feeling much lighter and better, InshaAllah.

10. Diarrhea

Similar to vomiting, if you feel the urge to pass stool and it seems to be a major one, it is also one of the good signs that the Ruqyah treatment is working. Remember to stay hydrated.

Conclusion:

Performing Ruqyah altogether isn’t as easy as it sounds, but coupled with a sincere intention, strong conviction and the right methods, inshaAllah, anyone can perform Ruqyah and protect themselves from whatever evil that is lingering out there in the open world. As Muslims, we should always be careful with the 1001 temptations and evil that gets in our way, and Ruqyah is the proper method to do away with all the spiritual and physical ailments, InshaAllah.

May Allah protect us all from the vicious evil that lurks in the day and night, InshaAllah.
