The Islamic Healing

08/30/2026

There is a common misconception when it comes to ruqya—that drinking vinegar, bathing in it, or consuming certain foods will somehow kill the shayateen or drive the jinn out of the body.

Unfortunately, jinn can react to certain things in ways that make a person believe a particular remedy is extremely powerful or effective. I wish it were as simple as finding one ingredient that could solve everything.

Bathing in vinegar will mostly leave you smelling like vinegar, and drinking excessive amounts can cause harm to your stomach and other health problems, regardless of the health benefits vinegar may have when used appropriately.

When it comes to the world of the jinn, there is no “secret food” that simply destroys them when you eat it, drink it, or bathe in it.

There are, however, certain foods and remedies commonly used alongside ruqya that may be beneficial, such as seven dates, olive oil, black seed oil, qist, honey, ruqya water, and hijama. But we should never treat these things as magical cures in themselves.

And here is the difficult truth that many people do not want to hear: none of these things will have the impact we hope for if we continue feeding our lives with sin while expecting ruqya alone to fix everything.

The most important thing that weakens the shaytan is not simply fasting from food—it is fasting from sin.

If you truly want to strengthen yourself spiritually, focus on leaving sins, making sincere tawbah, protecting your salah, remembering Allah, reading Qur’an, making du‘a, and becoming consistent in obedience.

We spend so much time asking, “What should I eat? What should I drink? What should I bathe with?” when perhaps the more important question is:

What do I need to stop doing?

Starve the shaytan of the sins through which he finds influence. Strengthen your relationship with Allah. Ruqya is not about discovering a secret ingredient; it is about turning sincerely and completely toward Allah.

May Allah forgive our shortcomings, protect us from the shayateen, strengthen us against temptation, and grant complete healing to everyone who is suffering.

“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.”

— Qur’an 2:286

What Is the Role of a Raaqi?

A Raaqi’s role is to guide, weaken, and, by Allah’s permission, help remove the effects of jinn possession, sihr (magic), and other spiritual afflictions.

A Genuine Raaqi Should:

* Help weaken or eliminate the jinn through Ruqyah by the permission of Allah.
* Understand that it is possible for a jinn to leave or be destroyed during the first session, especially when the patient is close to Allah and strong in faith.
* Recognize that if a person is affected by strong sihr or persists in sins, the jinn may only be weakened initially and further treatment may be required.
* Provide the patient with a personalized Ruqyah plan.
* Conduct follow-up sessions to monitor progress and identify obstacles preventing recovery.
* Educate patients about Ruqyah so they can continue treatment independently and protect themselves and their families.

What a Genuine Raaqi Should Not Do:

* Keep telling patients to book endless sessions without teaching them the knowledge of Ruqyah.
* Give the exact same treatment plan to every patient regardless of their circumstances.
* Focus on generating income rather than helping Muslims achieve recovery.
* Create dependency by withholding beneficial knowledge from patients.

Every Case Is Different

A professional Raaqi understands that each person’s situation is unique.

For example:

* A person may be religious and consistent in worship, but continues to smoke. In this case, the obstacle may be the sin itself, and the person may need a practical plan to quit smoking rather than simply being told to repeat certain verses hundreds of times.
* A sister may regularly wear perfume outside the home when she should not. This issue may need to be addressed directly as part of her treatment plan.

Recovery often requires identifying and correcting the specific issues that allow spiritual harm to persist.

The Importance of Sharing Knowledge

Many so-called Raaqis exploit vulnerable Muslims by keeping them dependent on regular sessions while withholding knowledge that would help them perform Ruqyah themselves.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Whoever is asked about knowledge and conceals it, Allah will bridle him on the Day of Resurrection with a bridle of fire.”

(Sahih Ibn Hibban)

The Need for Qualified Raaqis

A genuine Raaqi is still needed. Do not let Shaytan deceive you into believing that every person should only perform self-Ruqyah, regardless of their level of knowledge.

* Some people may have been performing self-Ruqyah for years without understanding why they are not progressing.
* Lack of knowledge about sihr, jinn, and the principles of Ruqyah can lead to mistakes and confusion.
* Seeking help from a knowledgeable and trustworthy Raaqi is not a weakness.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى is never unjust to His servants:

“Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom’s weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.”

(An-Nisa 4:40)

And Allah says:

“And We did not wrong them, but they were wronging themselves.”

(An-Nahl 16:118)

Advice to Patients

* Seek knowledge alongside treatment.
* Learn how to perform Ruqyah correctly.
* Take responsibility for your worship, repentance, and protection.
* Seek help from trustworthy and knowledgeable Raaqis when needed.

Advice to Raaqis

* Fear Allah regarding your brothers and sisters.
* Do not make Ruqyah a business whose primary goal is profit.
* Teach people how to protect themselves and their families.
* Empower patients rather than creating dependency.
* Remember that being a Raaqi is a responsibility and an amanah (trust), not merely a source of income.

Advice to New Practitioners

To the young brothers who have recently started practicing Ruqyah:

* Ruqyah is not simply reciting verses and obtaining reactions from jinn.
* Before opening Ruqyah centers or treating people, acquire deep knowledge of the Qur’an, Sunnah, sihr, jinn, and the principles of Ruqyah.
* Do not misguide people through ignorance.

May Allah grant shifa to all those who are suffering. Please do not forget me in your du’as.

May Allah forgive us, guide us, and grant us Jannat al-Firdaws.

اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين

اطردوا الجن والشياطين من بيوتكم بدعاء سيدنا جبريل وطهروا بيوتكم واحفظوها بحفظ الله

"أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات التي لا يجاوزهن بر ولا فاجر من شر ما خلق وذرأ وبرأ

ومن شر ما ينزل من السماء ومن شر ما يعرج فيها، ومن شر ما ذرأ في الأرض

ومن شر ما يخرج منها، ومن شر فتن الليل والنهار، ومن شر كل طارق، إلا طارقا يطرق بخير يا رحمن"

⚠️ Important Reminder for Muslim Parents ⚠️

In recent times, many trending toys and collectibles like Sonny Angels, Labubu dolls, and other similar figures have become popular among youth. While they may appear harmless or “cute,” it’s important to look deeper. These items often carry mysterious origins, strange imagery, or symbolic meanings that may subtly promote ideas contrary to our Islamic values.

Some of these characters have links—either in design, concept, or fan culture—to spiritual elements like love jinn, idolatry, or symbolic associations that resemble demonic or supernatural beings. This can open doors to fascination with unseen forces, which in Islam is not to be taken lightly.

🛑 Please be vigilant: not everything trendy is safe or beneficial. Toys that carry odd energies, nudity, or spiritual symbolism should not be normalized in our homes, especially when our children are still forming their understanding of faith, modesty, and the unseen world (al-ghayb).

🕋 Teach your children to love what is pure, wholesome, and rooted in values we believe in. And always remember: the Prophet ﷺ said, “Every one of you is a shepherd, and every one of you is responsible for his flock.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

Asalamu Alaykum,

📍Feeling overwhelmed?

Often times people complain they are over burdened and unable to handle a test from Allah and that they feel like giving up as the test of sihir/ayn is too much,, However when it comes to the dunya for example a child would go through tests from a young age in school all the way up to their adulthood in university. It would be the standard norm to complete all these tests and they wouldn't complain because they want a career out of it in the end so they can succeed in this life. But as soon as Allah tests this same person they will complain "its too much" and "why me". However the reward is much greater and the stakes are high because you asked Allah for janatul firdauws and he was gracious enough to accept your dua and decided to prepare you for that and purify you.

We forget sometimes that this life is only a test and thats it. He who prepares early on and carries am******on for the journey will succeed. He who doesn't will always feel over burdened and unable to carry on. Much like a war where you will have to learn how to fight and carry a weapon, if you enter a battlefield unprepared you will always be overwhelmed by the skill and ferocity of your enemy, this is not the fault of our Lord who promised us that he will not test a soul beyond that which it can bear and who also warned us that iblees is a sworn enemy, so why did we forget about this battle ?. Rather it is our fault for not equipping ourself with the tools Allah provided us with on this journey such as dua, the quran, tahajjud, knowledge etc. We must do better to avoid sins and pass tests from Allah and be aware that tests will keep coming like they do in this dunya because after all the rewards and punishment on that day will be for a lifetime.

If you feel you cant handle possessions
Or spiritual afflictions and overwhelmed it means your enemy is more equipped than you and more skilled in their evil than you are in your good. No problem, grab your weapons Allah gave you and learn how to hold your sword. The moment you learn this and how to equip yourself from shaytan is the moment you gain your freedom from the crippling thoughts of fear and being over powered.

- Verily, We created man from a drop of mingled s***m so that We may test him; and therefore We made him hearing and seeing. We have indeed showed him the way, now he be grateful or ungrateful. (76:3)

ارقوا أولادكم وهم نيام ،

امسحوا ع رؤوسهم وأجسامهم بالفاتحة والمعوذتين وما تحفظون من الأدعية والأذكار فالشياطين عند رؤوسهم ف الهواتف ، ومن حولهم ف الشوارع ، وكثيرون حوالكم يكادون يخترقون أجسامهم من الحاسدين ، وبعض أولادنا مساكين يعيشون عمرا كاملا دون أن يلتفت إليهم أب برقية أو أم بتعويذة ،
ثم يشتكون بعد ذلك من سوء الحال أو المرض العضال !!

املؤوا بيوتكم بالبقرة تقرؤنها
وبالأذكار تتحصنون بها وبالأوراد تأوون إليها ..
فما قلت البركة ولا كثرت الخلافات بين الزوج والزوجة ،
ولا هجمت الشياطين على قلوب وعقول العيال إلا بما ضيعنا من هذا الخير !!
أعيدوا للبيوت سكينتها حتى تستمتعوا ببهجتها وبركتها

#تذكير
حبيت نذكر متابعي الاحبه
بقول ابن القيم رحمه الله
"العين تُصيب المرءُ في أخلاقه، وفي سعة صدره وانشراحه، وتُصيبه في ذكاء عقله فيُصاب بالجنون، والحاسد أحبُّ إلى الشيطان من الساحر لأنه يؤذي الناس بدون شرط أو إتفاق مع الشيطان"

ابن القيم رحمه الله.📚

الله الله في الرقية و الحفاظ على الاذكار اليوم واليله بصفه عامه والصلوات المفروضه والصدقة وصلة الرحم والدعاء
حفظنا الله وإياكم من كل شر

THE POWER OF RUQYA WATER

The Power of Ruqya Water



“Have those who have disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and it is We Who separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?” – Surah al Anbiya

Ruqya water is a method carried out in which one recites the verses of the Qur’an and then spittle’s dryly over the water. According to Shar’i evidence, the most prominent verses that are prescribed are Surah al Fatiha, al-Miwadhatayn and Ayatul Kursey. Along with the verses from Qur’an, the Asma wa Sifaat (names and attributes of Allah) can also be mentioned as well as the words uttered by Muhammad ﷺ. This is exemplified by the hadith:

Narrated by ‘Uthmaan ibn Abi’l-Aas: He complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about pain that he had felt in his body from the time he had become Muslim. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, “Put your hand on the part of your body where you feel pain and say ‘Bismillaah (in the name of Allah) three times, then say seven times, ‘A’oodhu bi ‘izzat-illaah wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajid wa uhaadhir (I seek refuge in the glory and power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and worry about).” Uthmaan ibn Abi’l-Aas said, I did that, and Allah took away what I had been suffering, and I kept on enjoining my family and others to do that.” – Sahih in Tirmidhi and Muslim.

The water that is used can be ZamZam water as it is the purest of all waters, or if ZamZam is not available, then any form of mineral water can also be utilized.

Ruqya must be performed in adherence to the Qur’an and Sunnah and it is an essential principle that the one who is conducting Ruqya comprehends that the power of healing from all diseases and illnesses belongs to Allah and Allah alone. The evidence for the use of Ruqya water derives from the time Muhammad ﷺ fell ill after being stung by a poisonous scorpion:

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Masoud RA: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was praying and when he was in sujood (prostration), a scorpion had stung him on the finger. Once the Prophet ﷺ completed his prayer, he said, “May Allah put His curse on the scorpion as it neither leaves the Prophets, nor others!” He then asked for a pot filled with water to which he added some salt. The Prophet ﷺ dipped his finger that was stung in the water and he recited Surah al Ikhlaas and al Muwahidhatayn then blew on his finger until the pain left his body. – Sahih in Tirmidhi

Water is distinct in regards to the complete spectrum of creation. Every living matter, whether it be a complex structure or the simplest of all, is created with water being its key component. In the Qur’an, Allah The Exalted made mention of water and its significance several times in regards to how humans were made from water, the role of water in agriculture as well as the sustenance factor as a whole.

When reading the verses from the Qur’an concerning the role of water in the existence of mankind today, they appear to express ideas that are now facts of science. One example of this is the concept of the water cycle, where it has been observed that rainfall penetrates the soil, enriches it with minerals for the purpose of agricultural growth, and then re-evaporates for the formation of clouds. This was only concluded in the 17th century, whereby Allah had already mentioned over 1400 years prior: “And (what means): “We sent down water from the sky in measure and lodged it in the ground. And We certainly are able to withdraw it. Therewith for you We gave rise to gardens of palm-trees and vineyards where for you are abundant fruits and of them you eat.” – Surah al Mu’minoon.” SubhanAllah, this is just one aspect of the infinite knowledge that belongs to Allah the Exalted!

“Have you observed the water which you drink?” – Surah al Waqi’ah
