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.
See your GP, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency. If you are thinking about harming yourself, get help now. You use this content at your own risk. See our terms.
a) Fill a container or bottle with normal tap, spring, or zamzam (highly recommended if available) water while leaving some space empty for air (approx. 5cm).
Note: Max recommended size is about one or two liters anymore and the Ruqyah water would be dilute and not as effective. You can use a 5 liter bottle but only if you intend to recite for an hour with full focus.
b) Make sincere intention to recite Ruqyah to treat, jinn possession, magic, evil eye, health problem etc.
Note: The actual Ruqyah effect of the Quran is carried in the breath of the person reciting. So it is important to keep the mouth of the bottle near your mouth (if you can) and breath directly into the bottle. The volume, vibration and visualisation* have a direct effect on the water.
c) Recite the following verses or any verses that you know by heart.
Note: It is more effective to recite less surahs with focus than longer surahs with very little focus.
