Please read: this is not medical advice
This article comes from an outside open-source Ruqyah collection. We have not written it or checked it with doctors, and we cannot say whether any remedy it describes (such as baths, leaves, herbs, oils, drinks or cupping) is safe or works for you. Some remedies can cause harm, react with medicines, or delay the treatment you need.
Never stop, reduce or change prescribed medication because of anything you read here. Physical and mental health symptoms, including seizures, unusual bleeding, problems in pregnancy, stomach pain, skin conditions, low mood or anxiety, need a doctor. Ruqyah and dua can sit alongside medical care, but they do not replace it.

There is a lot of confusion out there regarding the science of Ruqyah so it is imperative that raqis are patient and calm when teaching and advising Muslims. You may get the same question being asked several times by the same patient or others. It can be mentally tiring to keep repeating yourself but you must remember that most patients will find it difficult to grasp concepts or ideas because the possessing jinn are playing with their minds and emotions.
Most patients will just need your help to gain confidence about Ruqyah so even if they get clear results during self diagnosis, they just need to hear you tell them that they have spiritual illness. You just need to remember that you were once in their shoes, lacking confidence and not fully understanding the topic.
It is essential that you take some time off from answering questions so that you can relax and tend to your needs and your family’s. If you don’t do that then you are more likely to lash out and get angry at patients. TAKE A BREAK! You will be a better raqi!
