What is ruqyah?
Ruqyah is recitation and supplication seeking Allah’s help. Permissible ruqyah uses sound words, avoids claims to the unseen, and does not create dependence on a practitioner.
Self-ruqyah, step by step
Begin with sincere intention
Place trust in Allah and avoid promises of guaranteed results.
Recite verified texts
Use Qur’an and authentic supplications documented in the SunnahProof article library.
Keep the practice simple
No special objects, secret symbols or costly intermediary is required.
Continue ordinary care
Maintain prescribed treatment and seek professional assessment for persistent or severe symptoms.
Things to avoid
- Claims to know the unseen or diagnose a supernatural cause with certainty.
- Unexplained symbols, talismans, strange personal objects or secret formulas.
- Pressure, isolation, touching without consent, or excessive fees.
- Advice to stop medical or psychological care.

Symptoms do not automatically mean jinn possession, evil eye or sihr. Many have ordinary medical or psychological explanations. Seek qualified healthcare professionals when appropriate.
