Raqyah Shar'iyyah Ruqya Shariya is an act of reciting in which a Muslim seeks cure from Allah swt through Quranic verses, Allah’s names, and adhkar approved by Prophet ᤖ . It can be used to cure physical and spiritual diseases like fear, agony, distress, madness, evil eye, and evil effects of Jinns and magic etc. Ruqya was also used for the treatment of Hasan (R) and Hussain (R) and the companions of Prophet ᤖ . Jibra’eel (AS) taught a few Du’as to Prophet (Pubh) by the order of Allah using which the Prophet used to do Ruqya upon himself too. Conditions for Ruqya Shariya: B Ruqya should be from the verses of the Quran or from the recitations approved by the Prophet ᤖ . C Ruqya is to be done by reciting and pondering upon the meanings of the Quranic verses and the invocations. Keep firm faith and trust in Allah that He is As-Shafi, the Healer. These verses and recitations are a means of treatment and they become effective by the order of Allah only. D Keep yourself away from all actions and practices that lead to Shirk and do not do any thing that is not approved by the Prophet ᤖ . E Offer Salah on time with full devotion and attention and ask Allah for cure. F Recite Surah Al-Baqarah in your house and in your workplace. G Keep your house free from pictures and other evil things because angels do not visit such places and shayateen dwell there. H Reciting morning and evening Du’as regularly and keep trust that only Allah will help you get rid of the problems. I Do not get disappointed or lose hope if you are not cured immediately. Show patience and keep full faith and trust in Allah. Keep away from doubts, fear, and frustration. Always be prepared and alert to fight the devil and evil desires. Methods of Treatment: B Blow upon the area after reciting Ruqya. C Blow upon water and then drink it. D Put your hand on the area where it hurts while reciting. E Recite the Azaan repeatedly in the right ear of the patient because shayateen run away upon hearing the Azaan. 144
Ruqya through Al-Qur’an Start Ruqya with those Quranic Verses which are recommended and approved by Sunnah. For example, the starting verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat- al-Kursi, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Kafiroon, Surah Al- Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Naas. The selceted verses as mentioned above are given below, along with their meanings so that you recite them with understanding. Pondering on their meanings while reciting these verses help you develop stronger faith in Allah, in addition to bringing the blessings from Him upon yourself.

He used to do that three times (Bukhari, 5017). ﴾ ۚ2 ۚ ﴾ اَ ُ اﻟﺼﻤَ ُﺪ1 اَ َﺣ ٌﺪ ُﻗُﻞْ ﻫُ َﻮ اﷲ the Absolute, Allah, the one.

Surah Al-Falaq Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas called \"Al-Mu'awwadhatan\". It is mentioned in the Hadith that reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas in the morning and evening saves us from all kind of evils. (Abu Dawud: 5028) Like this, It is Sunnah also to recite these three Surahs before sleep in the night. Ayesha RA narrated that whenever Allah's Messenger ᤖ became sick, he would recite Mu'awwidhat (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An- Nas) and then blow his breath over his body.
