A comprehensive ruqyah guide based on the Quran and Sunnah. Self-ruqyah steps, protection duas, evil eye remedies, and scholarly guidance.
Ruqyah is spiritual healing and protection through recitation of Quranic verses and authentic supplications.
Ruqyah (الرُّقْيَة) is the practice of seeking cure from spiritual ailments — evil eye, magic, and jinn affliction — through recitation of Quranic verses, Allah's Names and Attributes, and authentic prophetic supplications. It is a proven and approved healing method in Islam.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Present your ruqyah to me. There is nothing wrong with ruqyah as long as it does not involve shirk." (Sahih Muslim 2200)
A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: "When any of his family members fell ill, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would blow over them reciting the Mu'awwidhat (Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas)." (Sahih Bukhari 5016)
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever among you can benefit his brother, let him do so." (Sahih Muslim 2199)
The sunnah method for performing ruqyah on yourself. Follow these steps with full reliance on Allah.
Begin in a state of ritual purity. Perform wudu as you would for prayer. This is the sunnah way to prepare yourself spiritually.
Choose a clean, peaceful spot free from distractions. Face the qiblah if possible. This helps focus your heart and intention.
Recite the Quran with full yaqin (certainty) that Allah alone is the Healer. Your trust in Allah is more important than the volume of recitation.
After reciting, blow gently (nafth) into your cupped hands and wipe them over your body — face, chest, and any area of pain. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to do this before sleeping.
Recite the ruqyah verses over a container of water, blow gently into it, then drink from it and wash with it. This is established from the practice of the salaf.
These verses form the foundation of ruqyah. Each verse includes full Arabic text, transliteration, and translation.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamin. Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim. Maliki yawmid-din. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqim. Siratal-ladhina an'amta 'alayhim ghayril-maghdubi 'alayhim wa lad-dallin.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned anger nor of those who are astray.
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum. La ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. Man dhal-ladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi-idhnih. Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuhituna bishay'in min 'ilmihi illa bima sha'. Wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard. Wa la ya'uduhu hifdhuha. Wa Huwal-'Aliyyul-'Adhim.
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 before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
Amanar-Rasulu bima unzila ilayhi mir-Rabbihi wal-mu'minun. Kullun amana billahi wa mala'ikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulihi la nufarriqu bayna ahadin mir-rusulih. Wa qalu sami'na wa ata'na ghufranaka Rabbana wa ilaykal-masir. La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha. Laha ma kasabat wa 'alayha mak-tasabat. Rabbana la tu'akhidhna in nasina aw akhta'na. Rabbana wa la tahmil 'alayna isran kama hamaltahu 'alal-ladhina min qablina. Rabbana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih. Wa'fu 'anna waghfir lana warhamna. Anta Mawlana fansurna 'alal-qawmil-kafirin.
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, saying: We make no distinction between any of His messengers. And they say: We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final destination. Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. 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.
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad. Allahus-Samad. Lam yalid wa lam yulad. Wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad.
Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. And there is none comparable to Him.
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
Qul a'udhu bi-Rabbil-falaq. Min sharri ma khalaq. Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-'uqad. Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.
Say: 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 those who blow on knots. And from the evil of an envier when he envies.
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ
Qul a'udhu bi-Rabbin-nas. Malikin-nas. Ilahin-nas. Min sharril-waswasil-khannas. Alladhi yuwaswisu fi sudurin-nas. Minal-jinnati wan-nas.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind. From the evil of the retreating whisperer. Who whispers in the breasts of mankind. From among the jinn and mankind.
وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ ۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَٰكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ ۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ
Wattaba'u ma tatlush-shayatinu 'ala mulki Sulayman. Wa ma kafara Sulaymanu walakinnash-shayatina kafaru yu'allimunan-nasas-sihr. Wa ma unzila 'alal-malakayni bi-Babila Haruta wa Marut. Wa ma yu'allimani min ahadin hatta yaqula innama nahnu fitnatun fala takfur.
And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But they do not teach anyone unless they say: We are a trial, so do not disbelieve.
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
Wa awhayna ila Musa an alqi 'asak. Fa-idha hiya talqafu ma ya'fikun. Fawaqa'al-haqqu wa batala ma kanu ya'malun. Faghulibuu hunalika wanqalabu saghirin. Wa ulqiyas-saharatu sajidin. Qalu amanna bi-Rabbil-'alamin. Rabbi Musa wa Harun.
And We inspired Moses: Throw your staff, and at once it devoured what they were falsifying. So the truth was established, and what they did was nullified. They were defeated there and turned back humiliated. And the magicians fell down in prostration. They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds. The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
Falamma alqaw qala Musa ma ji'tum bihis-sihr. Innallaha sayubtiluh. Innallaha la yuslihu 'amalal-mufsidin. Wa yuhiqqullahul-haqqa bi-kalimatihi wa law karihal-mujrimun.
When they had thrown, Moses said: What you have brought is only magic. Indeed, Allah will expose its futility. Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters. And Allah will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it.
وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ
Wa alqi ma fi yaminika talqaf ma sana'u. Innama sana'u kaydu sahir. Wa la yuflihus-sahiru haythu ata.
And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is.
Authentic duas for morning and evening, before sleeping, entering and leaving home, and times of affliction.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'asmihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alim.
In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in the heavens can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Recite 3 times morning and evening)

Bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa 'ala Rabbina tawakkalna.
In the name of Allah we enter, in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we rely.
Abu Dawud 5096
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'alallahi wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. There is no power or might except with Allah.
Abu Dawud 5095 · Tirmidhi 3426
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
A'udhu bi-kalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq.
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of that which He created. (Recite 3 times evening)
Muslim 2708
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan, wa a'udhu bika minal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wa a'udhu bika minal-jubni wal-bukhl, wa a'udhu bika min ghalabatid-dayni wa qahrir-rijal.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, and from being overcome by debt and overpowered by men.
Bukhari 6369
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
La ilaha illallahul-'Adhimul-Halim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adhim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbus-samawati wa Rabbul-ardi wa Rabbul-'Arshil-Karim.
None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, the Magnificent, the Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of the Noble Throne.
Bukhari 6345 · Muslim 2730
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Allahumma'jurni fi musibati wa akhlif li khayran minha.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. O Allah, reward me in my affliction and replace it for me with something better.
Muslim 918
The evil eye is real — the Quran and Sunnah confirm it. Learn how to protect yourself.
Allah says: "And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message." (Surah Al-Qalam 68:51)
وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The evil eye is real. If anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye." (Sahih Muslim 2188)
A correct understanding of jinn and magic in light of the Quran and Sunnah.
Jinn are a creation of Allah, created from smokeless flame of fire (Surah Ar-Rahman 55:15). Among them are Muslims and non-Muslims, good and evil. They can see us but we cannot see them (Surah Al-A'raf 7:27).
Jinn can harm humans by Allah's permission, but their power is limited. Allah says: "Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak." (Surah An-Nisa 4:76)
مَنْ أَتَى عَرَّافًا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً
"Whoever goes to a fortune teller and asks him about something, his prayers will not be accepted for forty nights." (Sahih Muslim 2230)
"Whoever goes to a fortune teller or soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him)." (Ahmad 9532)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever hangs an amulet, may Allah not fulfill his need." (Ahmad 17404)
Wearing amulets with unknown words, symbols, or numbers can lead to shirk. Only Quranic verses and authentic duas are the correct means of seeking Allah's protection.
وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
Wa man yatawakkal 'alallahi fahuwa hasbuh.
"And whoever relies upon Allah — then He is sufficient for him." (Surah At-Talaq 65:3)
The most important element of ruqyah is complete trust in Allah. Ruqyah is a means (sabab), but the cure is solely in Allah's hands. Keep your tawhid strong, fulfill obligatory worship, and be patient.
Following this routine daily will, by Allah's will, strengthen your spiritual protection.
When you feel afflicted or need extra protection:
