What is Ruqyah? A Guide to Authentic Islamic Healing for all
The World of Ruqyah
An interactive guide to understanding authentic Islamic healing based on the Quran and Sunnah.
What is Ruqyah?
The Medicine of the Quran
At its core, Ruqyah (الرقية الشرعية) is the practice of treating spiritual and physical ailments by reciting specific verses from the Holy Quran and invoking Allah's names and attributes through prescribed supplications (du'as). It is a direct conversation with our Creator, seeking His divine intervention and mercy for healing.
The 3 Golden Rules
- From the Divine Source: It must be with the speech of Allah (the Quran) and His authentic names and attributes.
- In the Sacred Language: It must be in Arabic, or what is known to be its correct meaning for those who cannot speak it.
- With Pure Belief: One must believe that Ruqyah itself has no power, but the cure is from Allah SWT alone.
A Vessel of Mercy
The power of Ruqyah does not come from the reciter (the *raqi*). The reciter is merely a vessel, a facilitator in this sacred process, whose piety and adherence to the Sunnah can aid in the effectiveness of the treatment. The healing itself comes directly from Allah, through the blessing of His words. Any practice that involves seeking help from jinn, saints, or any created being is strictly forbidden.

A potent spiritual affliction cast intentionally through envy or unintentionally through admiration. Its effects can cause sudden illness, financial loss, or a breakdown in relationships. Ruqyah serves as the prescribed divine shield.
Black Magic (Sihr)
One of the most severe spiritual attacks, where a person seeks the help of devils to harm another. The process of removing black magic through Ruqyah involves specific Quranic verses that directly challenge and dismantle the work of the magician.
Jinn Possession & Influence
