FAMILY RUQYA DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT
The first part of this article, we will look at some information that is important to know before you actually do general ruqya diagnosis on family members. Then we will look at how you should conduct the ruqya diagnosis for the 4 ailments – sihr, ayn, mass and waswaas on family members. We will then look at ruqya treatment and other treatments. Finally, there is a section on how to deal with a family member or person with epilepsy that is caused by jinn possession.
(PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CAN ALSO USE THE SAME DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT PROCEDURES ON YOUR FRIENDS OR OTHER MUSLIMS. THIS IS NOT JUST FOR FAMILIES)
Please scroll down the article to read about ruqya treatment, which is basically similar to self treatment.
NB: ATTENTION. Please note that you can do ruqya diagnosis and treatment on several members of your family at the same time. It would be better to do ruqya diagnosis in groups of 2 or 3 because you need observe their reactions. However, treatment can be done on ALL of them at the same time since we don’t have to carefully observe their reactions during ruqya treatment because the diagnosis has already been done. You can read ruqya diagnosis or treatment on a mix group of adults and children so a husband can read ruqya diagnosis or treatment on his wife and children and a mother/wife can also do the same ie she can read on her husband and children.
We can use ONE glass of ruqya diagnosis water to do sihr diagnosis, etc on 2 or more known people, provided the intention when reading on the ruqya diagnosis water was for the same 2 or more people. So if you want to prepare 1 glass of ruqya diagnosis water for 3 of your children then you must read ruqya diagnosis on this 1 glass with the intention that it is for your 3 children. The same applies for ruqya treatment on water, honey, etc.
If your family member does get a positive test for sihr or ayn or even both, then I strongly recommend that you watch my latest video on Advanced Ruqya Diagnosis so that you can diagnose who the sahir is, who the ayn perpetrator is and where the taweez is. You should also read the section “NB: 30” on “Advanced Specific Ruqya Diagnosis” in my article 7 rules for specific ruqya. This will give you extra information to help you with the advanced diagnosis and there are other sections in the article that you may find useful.
If you are worried about the jinn completely manifesting and speaking in the patient or causing chaos and breaking things or attacking people during ruqya diagnosis or treatment……then you need to understand that jinn ONLY speak in sinning patients. Please read this article below.
If you know that the patient is sinning then I strongly recommend that you don’t do ruqya diagnosis or treatment because of the possibility of the jinn inside the patient, manifesting and attacking you. But if you are sure that the patient is a good and pious Muslim (ie prays 5 times a day and keeps away from major sins) then you can do the ruqya. What I have said here doesn’t apply to children below puberty because they are sinless.
(BEFORE DOING ANY OF THE TREATMENTS THAT ARE MENTIONED BELOW (EXCEPT THE RUQYA), YOU SHOULD CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL OR PHYSICIAN, IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT USING THEM, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION)
What is presented here are diagnosis and treatment notes for the video ‘Practical Self Ruqya Part 3’, which can be viewed here: Practical Self Ruqya Part 3: Family Ruqya
Before doing any ruqya on any family members you must make sure that they are not doing any major sins and that they are willing participants (ie they want the ruqya and have made the intention to accept the ruqya) and they are attentive and beseeching Allah in their heart for the diagnosis or cure. If you don’t do this then the ruqya dua will not be accepted. The ruqya from a family raqi, that we are discussing here, is basically a dua to Allah on behalf of the family member for help ie the raqi is directly communicating with Allah for the family member and so the family member receiving it must also accept this in their heart, just like when others make normal dua for them.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RUQYA DUA FROM THE PARENTS
Recently, I was informed of a mother treating her adult son with the comprehensive JET treatment. She did it a few times and now he is cured from all spiritual ailments ie sihr, jinn etc.
I believe the results she got were because she was the mother and the dua of a parent is accepted by Allah.
I also remembered my own daughter’s case and using the comprehensive JET treatment to remove all the ayn illness that she was suffering from.
If we could just get ALL parents to take up the responsibility of treating their own children whether adult or not, we would see major reductions in the types and number of illnesses out there especially cancer and mental illness.
Here is the hadith…….
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Three prayers are undoubtedly answered: the prayer of one who is wronged, the prayer of the traveller and the prayer of a parent for his child.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah (3862); classed as saheeh (authentic) by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah (596).
THE BEST RAQI FOR YOU ARE YOUR PARENTS NOT ME OR ANOTHER RAQI
After understanding that self ruqya is the best option BUT you still insist and want a raqi to read on you and you are actually considering contacting me or another raqi to do the ruqya treatment on you THEN I HAVE GOT SOME VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU.
I can certainly help patients with understanding ruqya and how to perform it but my ruqya on you is NOTHING compared to the ruqya of your parents. That is because the dua of the parent is accepted as mentioned in the above hadith (Ibn Majar 3862: Silsilah 596: Sahih by Al Albani) and the other thing is that there is the natural bond of love between you and your parents so obviously, they are going to read the ruqya treatment on you much more sincerely and lovingly than I or any other raqi can ever do. Therefore, if you are definitely going to seek ruqya from a raqi then I strongly recommend that you seek ruqya from your parents.
NO RAQI IN THE WORLD CAN BEAT THE RUQYA OF A PIOUS PARENT and that’s because of the said hadith and the fact that the raqi and I don’t have this natural love in our hearts for you, WHICH NO MONEY CAN BUY…..and that is why every known raqi reads on his wife and children himself and he would NEVER allow another man to read ruqya on his family ESPECIALLY his wife.
Ruqya is NOT dangerous since you will NEVER find a hadith discouraging laymen or non-scholars to do ruqya, rather you will find scholars advising people to do ruqya on themselves and their families. It is sins that are dangerous NOT the ruqya itself. It is sins that cause the jinn to speak and cause chaos NOT the ruqya itself! HOW CAN WE SAY A DUA IS SOMETHING DANGEROUS!!! Ruqya is basically a dua to Allah for help so how can we say it is dangerous. Allah didn’t send down the Quran or legislate ruqya to cause danger! If there were no sins then the jinn wouldn’t speak and cause chaos so it is sins that are dangerous and are a problem, NOT RUQYA. So if you are NOT a sinner and are a pious Muslim and you do your protection adhkhar then you can read ruqya on yourself and your family, just like I do and other raqis do.
A colleague and I used to read ruqya on our families and patients while we were both ill with jinn possession and sihr. Yes, our jinn used to react by shaking our limbs slightly or giving us muscle spasms while we did the ruqya on family and patients but we could control our jinn, walhamdulilah, because we were not doing major sins or continuously doing the same minor sins. We used to continue doing the ruqya on family and patients and just ignore our jinn reactions just like how we used to ignore our jinn reactions during our own self ruqya treatment. (IF YOU CAN IGNORE YOUR JINN REACTIONS DURING YOUR OWN SELF RUQYA, THEN WHY CAN’T YOU IGNORE YOUR JINN REACTIONS WHEN YOU READ RUQYA ON YOUR FAMILIES.) We also used to regularly do our protection adhkar which obviously helped us. SO IF A PARENT IS LIKE US THEN THEY CAN ALSO READ ON THEIR FAMILIES.
Ruqya needs to be demystified and Muslims need to understand that it is very easy to do. IT ISN’T ROCKET SCIENCE! Even young children and new Muslims can do it on themselves once they have been taught the basics.
Some people deliberately perpetuate the misconception that ruqya is very dangerous and that only ‘special’ people can do it because they want your money.
Some raqis are NOT really or genuinely interested in teaching people how to read ruqya on themselves or other people because they want to keep this ilm to themselves so they can make money from it. You won’t find them giving lectures or workshops on ruqya and they won’t tell you their ‘secrets’ nor would they personally train you so that you can become a raqi.
Fortunately, these days people are waking up and are starting to do self ruqya and now more Muslims are reading ruqya on their families. The days when ruqya was very restricted to just a few people, are basically over, hence, it is no longer as profitable as it used to be, walhamdulilah.
If you are worried that your possessing jinn will manifest in you and cause chaos in your parent’s home then you need to understand that if you are NOT committing any major sins or continuously doing the same minor sins then NO jinn will manifest and speak in you. You basically have NOTHING to worry about.
You should use me and other raqis by asking us questions and for advice. If a raqi wants to even charge you for asking questions and advice THEN PLEASE DON’T ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS and instead ask Allah to give you knowledge and someone else who can answer your questions for free. You can also refer to my website for free information on ruqya.
YOUR PARENTS ONLY NEED SURAHS FATIHA, FALAQ & NASS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. In fact, they can just use fatiha if they want to. (For more info on how to diagnose a family member, please read my article on my website: “Family diagnosis and treatment notes”)
If you have diagnosed yourself or have already been diagnosed then you can tell your parents to just read surah fatiha with the ruqya treatment intentions that I mention at the bottom of my family diagnosis and treatment notes on my website. However, if this is too much for your parents to understand, especially if they are elderly, then tell them to put their right hand on your head and to read surah fatiha as ruqya treatment with the general intention of “asking Allah to cure you from everything so that you can get back to worshipping Allah properly again without any illnesses”. While reading the ruqya treatment on you, they should blow on you a little air and spittle every few minutes or so. They should read ruqya treatment on you everyday – 15mins in the morning and 15mins in the evening. On top of that, you should do your 30mins of daily self ruqya treatment as well, which you can break up into 3 X ten minute sessions eg 10mins in the morning, afternoon & evening.
THIS IS BETTER FOR YOU THAN VISITING ME OR ANY OTHER RAQI AND PAYING FOR RUQYA.
The money you save from ruqya should be sent as charity to Syria or any other Muslim country with the intention of asking Allah to remove your sins and to seek the cure from Allah.
If you don’t have parents then ask a close relative or friend to do the ruqya treatment on you. At least a close relative or friend will have much more love in their hearts for you than me or any other raqi…..LOVE THAT MONEY CAN NEVER BUY!
HOW PARENTS SINS AFFECT THEIR CHILDREN
Your ruqya situation with your babies and children below puberty is either a test for you or a punishment for you because of the stress and heartache it causes you. All parents know how distressing it is to take care of babies and young children who are ill. You, as a parent, need to analyse your life and work out if these spiritual ailments on your babies and children below puberty are because of your sins or because it is a test.
It could be test for the mother and a punishment for the father or it could be test for both of them or a punishment for both. The main thing here is to stop sinning because sins will definitely make the parent’s ruqya diagnosis and treatment weaker. WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY ARE SINLESS!
Please read this article below to get more information on this topic of sins and their delaying of the cure.

PROTECTION ADHKHAR.
The minimum protection dhikr you should be doing:
Morning: (Fajr time before sunrise): Ayat ul Kursi ONCE to protect against jinn. The 3 Quls for general protection against every evil and these should be read as a set of 3 to be said three times. So read Surah Ikhlas, Falaq and Nass. Then read again, Surah Ikhlas, Falaq and Nass. Finally, read Surah Ikhlas, Falaq and Nass. (There is no need to blow on yourself).
DUAS FROM THE SUNNAH FOR MORNING AND EVENING PROTECTION
1. The below dua should be said 3 times.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الَْأرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ. (ثلاثَ مرَّاتٍ)
Bismillaahil-lathee laa yadhurru ma’as-mihi shay’un fil-‘ardhi wa laa fis-samaa’i wa Huwas-Samee ‘ul- ‘Aleem.
In the Name of Allah, Who with His Name nothing can cause harm in the earth nor in the heavens, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Three times) Whoever recites it in the morning will not be afflicted by any calamity before evening, and whoever recites it in the evening will not be overtaken by any calamity before morning.
Abu Dawud 4/323, At-Tirmizi 5/465, Ibn Majah 2/332, Ahmad.
2. The below dua should be said 10 times for general protection against all evils.
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ،
(وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. (عشرَ مرَّات
Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.
None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise and He is Able to do all things. (10 times)
An-Nasa’i, Abu Dawud 4/319, Ibn Majah, Ahmad 4/60.
Evening: Exactly the same as above morning adhkar but said during Asar time and before Magrib. The ONLY addition in the evening is the dua below, which is said 3 times:
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ. (ثلاثَ مرَّاتٍ إذا أمسى)
‘A’oothu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaati min sharri maa khalaqa.
I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created. (Three times in the evening.) Whoever recites this Three times in the evening will be protected from insect stings.
Ahmad 2/ 290, An-Nasa’i, At-Tirmizi 3/187, Ibn As-Sunni (Hadith no. 68), Ibn Majah 2/266.
After magrib and fajr prayers: You say the below dhikr 10 times before you speak to anyone, reply to someone’s salam or move out of the tashahud position. Through this dhikr, Allah will protect you from every harm and He will also protect you from the shaytan. There is also a lot of reward to be gained from saying this dhikr. (Please see the video below for more information)
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu yuhyee wa yumeetu wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.
None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He brings life and He causes death, and He is Able to do all things. (Ten times after the Maghrib and Fajr prayers.)
At-Tirmizi 5/515, Ahmad 4/227, Zadul-Ma’ad 1/300.
Here is a video explaining the above dhikr.
Before Sleeping: Read Ayat ul Kursi once to protect yourself from jinn.
You should also blow ONCE into your cupped hands with a little spittle and air and then read Surah Ikhlas, Falaq and Nass into your cupped hands and then wipe your head, face and the entire front of body with your hands. Repeat this process three times.
NB: You only read “A’oodhu Billahi minashaytani rajeem” once, before reading Ayat ul Kursi and this will also cover you when you read the 3 Quls. There is no need to repeat it again when you start to read the three sets of the 3 Quls.
PRAYING TWO RAKAHS FOR PROTECTION.
It is recommended that you pray 2 rakahs of extra pray before you leave your house. Allah will protect you from all evil via these 2 rakahs while you are outside. When you come back into your house, you should pray another 2 rakahs and then Allah will protect you from all evil while you are in your house.

PLACING CHILDREN UNDER ALLAH’S PROTECTION
أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
‘U’eethukumaa bikalimaatil-laahit-taammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammatin, wa min kulli ‘aynin laammatin.
I seek protection for you in the Perfect Words of Allah from every devil and every beast, and from every envious blameworthy eye.
Al-Bukhari 4/119.
The above dua is said for two children. Place your right hand on top of one of the child’s head and your left hand on top of the other child’s head and then you say this dua.
Say this dua whenever you are worried about any devils, evil eye or animal affecting your children.
For one child who is male you should say exactly the same but change the pronoun at the end, “kumaa” to “ka” and for a single female, it should be “ki”. You should just use your right hand on top of the child’s head when you say the dua for a single child.
Please note that it is just the end of the first word that is changed and the rest of the dua stays the same. The beginning of the first word stays the same, which I have highlighted in red. What is in black is what is changed. See below.
For a single male, we use: ….. أُعِيذُكَ
For a single female, we use: …. ِأُعِيذُك
So for single male the complete dua is:
أُعِيذُكَ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
For a single female the complete dua is:
أُعِيذُكِ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
ASKING ALLAH TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY, POSSESSIONS (VALUABLES), WORLDLY AFFAIRS & RELIGION
Here is another dua for protecting children which even I forget to mention to patients. I usually tell them to recite the above well known protection dua for children that the Nabi (salalahu alayhi wasalam) used for Hassan and Hussein.
This dua is also used protect your family, (including spouse), wealth (valuables and possessions) and your religion and wordly affairs. It is very comprehensive and covers you in ALL situations and therefore it is essential to say it everyday.
This dua below is part of the morning and evening adhkar! So please read it regularly at fajr time and again at asar time.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي، وَدُنْيَايَ، وَأَهْلِي، وَمَالِي، اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي، اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِيَ
Allaahumma ‘innee ‘as’alukal-‘afwa wal’aafiyata fid-dunyaa wal’aakhirati, Allaahumma ‘innee ‘as’alukal-‘afwa wal’aafiyata fee deenee wa dunyaaya wa ‘ahlee, wa maalee , Allaahum-mastur ‘awraatee, wa ‘aamin raw’aatee, Allaahum-mahfadhnee min bayni yadayya, wa min khalfee, wa ‘an yameenee, wa ‘an shimaalee, wa min fawqee, wa ‘a’oothu bi’adhamatika ‘an ‘ughtaala min tahtee.
O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and Your protection in this world and the next. O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and Your protection in my religion, in my worldly affairs, in my family and in my wealth (valuables and possessions). O Allah, conceal my secrets and preserve me from anguish. O Allah, guard me from what is in front of me and behind me, from my left, and from my right, and from above me. I seek refuge in Your Greatness from being struck down from beneath me.
Sahih Ibn Majah by Albani 2/332, Abu Dawud.
WHAT TO SAY TO PREVENT YOUR EVIL EYE FROM HITTING YOURSELF OR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING
To prevent giving someone the evil eye you should say to them, whether male or female, while they are in front of you:
بارك الله عليك Barakallahu alaik (May Allah bless you)
If they can’t hear you and are at a distance, then you say for a male:
اللهم بارك عليه Allahumma barik alayhi (O Allah bless him)
For a female at a distance:
اللهم بارك عليها Allahumma barik alayha (O Allah bless her)
If you see something in yourself that really amazes you, then you should say:
اللهم بارك عليّ Allahumma barik alaiy (O Allah bless me)
These duas also prevent your hasad (envy) from affecting someone or something except the last one as you can’t give hasad (envy) to yourself.
Please stick to the above duas and avoid saying ‘MashaAllah’ as I have NOT seen any hadith that advises us to say ‘MashaAllah’. Instead, we have hadith evidence of the Nabi salalahu alayhi wasalam telling us to say Baraka (blessings) to prevent the evil eye.
The hadith evidence for the above duas is:
The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If one of you sees something in himself or his wealth or his brother that he likes, let him pray for blessing (barakah) for it, for the evil eye is real.” (Narrated by Ibn as-Sunni in ‘Amal al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah, p. 168; al-Hakim, 4/216; classed as sahih by al-Albani in al-Kalim at-Tayyib, 243.)
It was narrated from Abu Umaamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf that his father told him: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) set out and they travelled with him towards Makkah, then when they were in Shi‘b al-Kharraar in al-Juhfah, Sahl ibn Hunayf did ghusl, and he was a fair-skinned man, with a beautiful body and skin. ‘Aamir ibn Rabee‘ah, a man of Banu ‘Adiy ibn Ka‘b, looked at him when he was doing ghusl and said: I have never seen anything like today, not even the skin of a young woman in seclusion! And Sahl fell to the ground. The people went to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and said to him: O Messenger of Allah, can you help Sahl, for by Allah he cannot raise his head and he cannot come round. He said: “Do you accuse anyone with regard to him?” They said: ‘Aamir ibn Rabee‘ah looked at him. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) summoned ‘Aamir and spoke harshly to him, and said: “Why would one of you kill his brother? When you saw something that you admired, why did you not pray for blessing (barakah) for him?” Then he said to him: “Wash yourself for him.” So he washed his face and hands, and his elbows and knees, and the sides of his feet, and inside his lower garment and the water was collected in a vessel, then that water was poured over him [Sahl]. A man poured it on his head and his back from behind, then Sahl got up and went with the people, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Narrated by Ahmad in al-Musnad (25/355-356); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh (4562).
SIGNIFICANT REACTIONS DURING RUQYA DIAGNOSIS
Now, when we say major significant reactions during ruqya diagnosis for sihr or any spiritual illness, we mean a reaction that stands out and which you clearly notice. It does not have to be major in the sense of pain or severity, it just has to be something that you can clearly notice and which was not present before you started the ruqya, such as a mild pain anywhere in your body or a slight headache or a particularly strange itching feeling over a certain part of your body or a mild heat sensation emanating from your hand or foot or seeing static or moving images or bright lights or colourful blobs while your eyes are closed during the ruqya.
In general, there is real NO difference between adults and children in terms of the physical reactions during the reading of ruqya diagnosis. The reason there seems to be a difference between the two, is because children cannot articulate or express themselves appropriately when describing what they feel during ruqya diagnosis. So it is important to ask children direct and specific questions after ruqya diagnosis. Don’t expect them to tell you everything or explain to you exactly how they felt during the ruqya diagnosis. Where it might be sufficient to ask an adult just one question which would then generate a long response: ‘Did you feel anything after establishing your reference point’. The exactly same question to a child would not elicit much information because of their limited life experience and the fact they may not have fully understood the concept and term “significant reaction during ruqya diagnosis”. Therefore, it is important for the raqi to ask the child specific questions after ruqya diagnosis, such as “How did your head feel”, “Did you feel sick”, “Did you get hot” “Did you see anything while your eyes were closed” etc.
If you find the child is saying “yes” to all or most of your questions then I would suggest that you ask a general question which does not mention any body part, limb or organ and then follow it up with another general one eg: “Did you feel any pain while I was reading the Quran”, if they say “yes” then say to them “Please show me where the pain is”, and let them point to the exact place of the pain. This way of eliciting answers has been proven to be very good with those young children who become overwhelmed with the ruqya reactions that they are experiencing and they have difficulty in expressing themselves because they don’t really understand what is happening.
The following is a brief and general guide to what patients may feel or experience during the actual reading of the ruqya diagnosis itself, for each of the four spiritual illnesses:
NB: Please ignore any YAWNING that you notice in the patient during the ruqya diagnosis. You should wait until the patient stops yawning and then conduct ruqya diagnosis. For more information about why we ignore yawning then please read point “81” in my article “101 Important Ruqya Principles”.
In general, during ruqya diagnosis, patients usually see something while their eyes are closed or they physically feel symptoms. It is also possible for patients to smell, hear or taste something such as smelling rotten meat, hearing barking dogs or having a metallic taste in their mouth. Occasionally, they may get some feelings or emotions like anxiety or panic attacks, especially for jinn possession and waswas conditioning, but usually these feelings or emotions are accompanied by physical symptoms.
A physical symptom like a headache that exists at the reference point, before the ruqya diagnosis is actually done, may, in fact, get worse during the reading of the ruqya diagnosis itself. So a patient may have a slight headache at the reference point which then becomes a more severe headache while the ruqya diagnosis is read. This change from a headache to a more severe headache, even if it is a slight change, is considered a reaction due to the ruqya diagnosis. The level of the severity of the headache is not an issue. It is difference between them that counts so if a patient can notice a difference then that is classed as a ruqya diagnostic reaction.
It is also possible for the ruqya diagnosis to have a “reverse” or “opposite” effect on a pre-existing symptom that was already there at the reference point before the actual diagnostic ruqya was administered ie a pre-existing headache or itching or anxiety or limb shaking or feeling cold at the reference point may get reduced or completely disappear because of the effects of the ruqya diagnosis but then the headache or itching or etc start to return after several minutes of ruqya diagnosis and when the ruqya diagnosis is stopped, they eventually come back completely. However, it seems that usually, the original symptom turns into something else or other symptoms may manifests themselves, making it clear to the patient that they have a spiritual illness, eg a jinnee in the head that is causing a headache at the reference point moves to the chest area during ruqya diagnosis thereby causing breathing problems so the initial headache has disappeared but breathing problems have now appeared.
From experience, it is also possible for a patient to get some minor reactions during their initial ruqya diagnosis and then they stop and then re-do the same ruqya diagnosis but a more intensified form of it, by placing their feet in ruqya diagnosis water. When they do this, their initial ruqya diagnosis reactions disappear and it would seem that they don’t have any spiritual disease at all, especially if the intensified ruqya is ONLY done for short amount of time, eg 5 minutes. However, if they were to continue the intensified ruqya, then they would notice completely different reactions from their initial ruqya diagnosis. So it is important to read intensified ruqya diagnosis for 15 to 20 minutes or more. This will give enough time for the intensified ruqya to cancel out or cause the disappearance of the initial ruqya diagnosis reactions and then after this disappearance is complete, the intensified ruqya diagnosis would create NEW reactions in the patient. (This intensified ruqya diagnosis can also be achieved when a raqi does ruqya diagnosis on a patient while the same patient holds or keeps some ruqya diagnosis water in their mouth).
Anyway, the main point here is for a patient and raqi to be aware of such “reverse” reactions to ruqya diagnosis and to realise and to appreciate that they are indeed reactions to the ruqya diagnosis and NOT to dismiss them or belittle them!
SIHR RUQYA DIAGNOSIS:
1. headaches or pain in the body.
2. hot or cold feeling in certain areas of the body or over whole of body.
3. limb movements or severe muscle spasms which means you have sihr with jinn possession.

Please note that you may not experience any of the above symptoms during your ruqya diagnosis and that is quite normal. The rule here is that if you feel or experience something unusual and which is completely different from your reference point (ie how you felt before starting the ruqya diagnosis or your standard bodily state) then we can say that you have the spiritual illness that you were looking for or trying to diagnose.
You may only experience a slight or mind headache for all 4 spiritual ailments during the ruqya diagnosis. If there was definitely no headache beforehand at your reference point and then you ONLY felt the headache during the ruqya diagnosis itself then we can conclude that you have all 4 spiritual ailments because you read the ruqya diagnosis with 4 different intentions and it does not matter if you got exactly the same reaction for each spiritual ailment. The fact that your intention was different each time is the main thing here, not the type or similarities in reaction.
Ruqya diagnosis is all about thinking well of Allah and asking and beseeching Allah to show us some significant physical reactions during the reading of ruqya diagnosis and if you are truly sincere then Allah will show you and then you will become convinced about your ruqya diagnosis. WE ALL AGREE THAT NO JINN CAN INTERFERE OR NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR NORMAL DUA TO ALLAH, LIKEWISE NO JINN CAN HIDE OR INTERFERE WITH THE RUQYA RESULTS OF A TRUE NON-SINNING MUSLIM WHO DOES SINCERE RUQYA DIAGNOSIS. This is to do with understanding that Allah is in full control and not jinn. If this wasn’t the case then we can never know if we are cured or clear of jinn possession because the possessing jinn could be hiding from the ruqya effects, which is UTTER NONSENSE AND RUBBISH! HOW CAN JINN HIDE FROM ALLAH! Having said this, we must understand that if a person is a major sinner or doubts Allah will show him anything or he doesn’t really ask or beseech Allah properly from his heart then obviously such a person will not get the results they were hoping for.
We must remember that if a person fufills all the ruqya conditions and gets a negative ruqya result then that is also Allah answering the ruqya dua because we ask Allah to show us if we have a spiritual illness or not.
During ruqya diagnosis, if the patient notices that he laughed or cried and is definitely sure that it was NOT him, who cried or laughed, then we can take it to be the possessing jinn that cried and laughed. The same is true for when the patient doesn’t notice the laughing or crying but we do. We would also say that this crying or laughing during the ruqya diagnosis is the possessing jinn. This being similar to when a limb shakes but the patient didn’t notice it but we do. In such a situation, we would say that the limb movement was caused by the possessing jinn reacting to the ruqya diagnosis.
STATIC AND MOVING IMAGES DURING RUQYA DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT: WHEN TO DISMISS THEM OR ACCEPT THEM
In order to work out how severe the spiritual disease is or in other words how serious it is, then all that needs to be done is to read ruqya diagnosis and to note down all the reactions the patient experiences. If a person experiences severe vomiting, severe pain or strong and powerful limb movements then we can say the spiritual disease is a severe one. It would be even more serious, if all or some of these reactions occur in the same ruqya diagnosis session. On the other hand, if the patient only experiences a mild headache or mild nausea or some weak limb movements, then we can say the spiritual disease is not a serious one.
INTENSIFYING YOUR ACTUAL READING OF RUQYA ON OTHER PEOPLE
We have found from experience that if you implement the advice below, then you will feel that your ruqya is more effective (and that is because your family member will feel stronger reactions) and you will feel an increase in your iman.
DIAGNOSIS FOR SIHR
It seems that the normal waswas gets transformed into waswas conditioning by the psychological conditioning of the qareen and possessing jinn and Allah knows best. So those instances of psychological conditioning that react to ruqya diagnosis are ONLY those instances that were caused by the qareen and possessing jinn in the first place. For more information, descriptions and examples of waswas conditioning, please see my article: “The Waswas from the Posssessing Jinn”.

(The Intentions for Ruqya Treatment)
From our experience of self ruqya, as I mentioned in my article “Why Are You Doing Self Ruqya”, we learned how important it was to make your main intention to ask Allah to cure you “……so that I can worship Allah, the best I can, without any illnesses”. This main intention is also applicable when you do ruqya treatment on your spouse and children but with slight additions and changes. In this section, we will look at how we can apply this very important main intention to your family ruqya.
What we are talking about here are the intentions for reading ruqya treatment on your family WHEN YOU, THE PARENT IS THE RAQI. We are not talking about doing your ruqya treatment at the same time as your family member. Please do your own ruqya treatment separately.
In short, your family member’s illness is not only harming their normal worship of Allah but it is also detrimental to your own normal worship of Allah since you become worried and stressed, and you may also be restricted or even prevented from doing certain obligations, like Hajj or going to the masjid, because of taking care of them. But if they become well and cured, then your own worship of Allah will become normal again and you can return to doing those acts of worship that you used to do before their illness.
I cannot over emphasise how crucial this main intention really is because WE HAVE LITERALLY SEEN HOW IT IMPROVES RUQYA TREATMENT and therefore, I will continue to speak about it for the rest of my life because this life of ours, is all about worshipping Allah and nothing else and we must make sure that we try to remove any impediments to our worship, since any impediment, such as an illness, is detrimental to our worshipping of Allah.
It saddens me to see that there are many people who do ruqya or teach ruqya but they make no mention or discuss this important main intention. In fact, disappointingly, they don’t talk much about ruqya intentions even in a general sense.
HOW TO DO RUQYA TREATMENT ON YOUR BABY OR VERY YOUNG CHILD
To do ruqya treatment on your baby or very young child (i.e. a child who is too young to perform acts of worship because they don’t really understand what they’re doing and why) you should first select what is relevant (based on your diagnosis results) from the following 7 intentions. These intentions occur in the heart and are not said out loud or in your mind. It is just like when you make the intention to pray salah:
O ALLAH CURE THEM FROM:
(1*) Every sihr (black magic) SO I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
(2*) Every ayn (evil eye) SO I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
(3*) Every mass (jinn possession) SO I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
(4*) Every waswaas type 2 conditioning (psychological conditioning from jinn or men) SO I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
(5*) All other illnesses that they are suffering from SO THAT I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
ALSO ASK ALLAH TO BURN (destroy):
(6*) BURN (destroy) every possessing jinnee inside their body SO THAT I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
(7*) BURN (destroy) any external Hasid network & any external Sihr Network that they are connected to SO THAT I (AS A PARENT) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST I CAN.
(For an understanding of what the sihr and hasid (hasd) networks are and waswaas conditioning: please refer to my article: ‘Why are you doing Self Ruqya’)
You should hold or put your right hand on the child or baby’s head and then read the following Surahs and sections of the Quran with the relevant treatment intentions that are mentioned above. At the end of reading each surah or section of the Quran 7 times, you should blow on them with a little air and spittle:
1. Surat al Fatiha – 7 times.
2. Ayat al Kursi – 7 times.
3. Last 2 Ayahs of Baqarah – 7 times.
4. Surah Ikhlaas – 7 times.
5 Surah Falaq and Naas as a pair – 7 times.
The above recitation should take you about 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
This should be done two or three times a day on the patient or patients.
NOTE: You are NOT doing ruqya treatment on your baby or young child and yourself at the same time. Please do your ruqya treatment separately. Just because you are mentioned in the family ruqya treatment intentions, it does not mean that you are doing ruqya on yourself. What we are telling you to do, with your family ruqya treatment intentions, is similar to a parent reading ruqya on their child so that Allah can cure the child and at the same time the parent makes the intentions to PLEASE ALLAH, GET REWARDED BY ALLAH and DRAW CLOSE to Allah through this ruqya on the child. Is the parent reading ruqya on themselves and the child?……NO, they are ONLY reading ruqya treatment on the child but are hoping for reward from Allah. This is what we are telling parents to do.
The reason we tell you not to read ruqya on yourself and your children at the same time, is because I fear that it might be a bidah. It might be permissible but I don’t know, hence, I don’t teach it.
The reason we strongly recommend having the phrase: “so that I (as a parent) can worship you (Allah) the best I can” as part of the intentions for ruqya on babies and very young children is because of the main issue that any difficulty or illness in the baby’s life causes or it makes worshipping Allah more difficult for the parents, themselves. Therefore, it follows that the main reason for which we should want them to be cured or for any difficulty to be removed from their life is so that we, as parents, can to return to worshipping Allah properly again. And although babies and very young children aren’t able to really worship Allah, no doubt their illness itself, will be very stressful for you, as a parent and this stress, which you are suffering from, will be negatively impacting on your worship of Allah. Your child’s illness may mean that you have to stop or reduce certain acts of worship like fasting or extra salah or going to the masjid because you are taking care of your child. So you read the ruqya treatment with the intention of asking Allah to cure your child so that your worries are removed and then you can get back to worshipping Allah properly again.
HOW TO DO RUQYA TREATMENT ON YOUR ADULT FAMILY MEMBER OR OLDER CHILD OR SPOUSE
To do ruqya treatment on an adult family member or spouse or an older child (i.e. a child who is old enough to properly perform acts of worship with an understanding as to why) you should first select what is relevant (based on your diagnosis results) from the following 7 intentions. These intentions occur in the heart and are not said out loud or in your mind. It is just like when you make the intention to pray salah:
O ALLAH CURE THEM FROM:
(1*) Every sihr (black magic) SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
(2*) Every ayn (evil eye) SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
(3*) Every mass (jinn possession) SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
(4*) Every waswaas type 2 conditioning (psychological conditioning from jinn or men) SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
(5*) All other illnesses that they are suffering from SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
ALSO ASK ALLAH TO BURN (destroy):
(6*) BURN (destroy) every possessing jinnee inside their body SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
(7*) BURN (destroy) any external Hasid (Hasd) network & any external Sihr Network that they are connected to SO THAT WE (they & I) CAN WORSHIP YOU, THE BEST WE CAN.
(For an understanding of what the sihr and hasd networks are and waswaas conditioning: please refer to my article: ‘Why are you doing Self Ruqya’)
You should hold or put your right hand on the adult relative or spouse’s head (obviously, it is haram to touch non-mahrams) and then read the following Surahs and sections of the Quran with the relevant treatment intentions that are mentioned above. At the end of reading each surah or section of the Quran 7 times, you should blow on them with a little air and spittle:
1. Surat al Fatiha – 7 times.
2. Ayat al Kursi – 7 times.
3. Last 2 Ayahs of Baqarah – 7 times.
4. Surah Ikhlaas – 7 times.
5 Surah Falaq and Naas as a pair – 7 times.
The above recitation should take you about 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
This should be done two or three times a day on the patient or patients.
NOTE: You are NOT doing ruqya treatment on your family and yourself at the same time. Please do your ruqya treatment separately. Just because you are mentioned in the family ruqya treatment intentions, it does not mean that you are doing ruqya on yourself. What we are telling you to do, with your family ruqya treatment intentions, is similar to a parent reading ruqya on their child so that Allah can cure the child and at the same time the parent makes the intention to please and draw close to Allah through this ruqya. Is the parent reading ruqya on themselves and the child?……NO, they are only reading ruqya on the child. This is what we are telling parents to do.
The reason we tell you not to read ruqya on yourself and your children at the same time, is because I fear that it might be a bidah. It might be permissible but I don’t know, hence, I don’t teach it.
The reason we strongly recommend having the phrase “so that WE (they included) can worship you (Allah) the best we can” as part of the intentions for ruqya treatment, on adult family members, spouse and older children, is because of the main issue, that any difficulty or illness in their lives, causes or it makes worshipping Allah that more difficult for them to do. Therefore, it follows, that the main reason for which we should want them to be cured or for any difficulty to be removed from their lives is so that they are able to return to worshipping Allah properly again (ie best they can) without any illness. Older children are included in this because they are able to worship Allah and therefore, they get rewarded for doing good deeds despite not yet having reached puberty (see https://islamqa.info/en/3240).
And the reason we recommend intending “So that WE (I included) can worship you (Allah) best we can” ie including yourself in the intentions rather than simply “so that he/she/they can worship Allah the best he/she/they can” is because the illness of your family member will no doubt be very stressful for you as well and this stress itself, which you are suffering from, will be negatively impacting on your own worship of Allah. Their illness may also mean that you have to stop or reduce certain acts of worship like extra fasting or salah or going to the masjid because you are taking care of them. So you read the ruqya treatment with the intention of asking Allah to cure your family member so that your worries are removed and then you can get back to worshipping Allah properly again.
For children or those who have other illnesses then before you do any of the other treatments, you should seek professional medical advice. Remember ruqya is just a dua and you don’t need to worry about the Quran harming someone because it can’t as it was sent down as a cure.
HOW TO DEAL WITH EPILEPTIC FITS OR SEIZURES CAUSED BY JINN POSSESSION
Recently, a mother informed me of how she used my videos and articles to treat her 6 year old son who was suffering from epileptic fits caused by jinn possession.
She had never really done ruqya previously but had learnt from my materials and others and then treated her son. So those who keep restricting ruqya to just raqis need to understand that it is very easy to teach people, especially parents, how to do ruqya on others.
Her son would be fitting everyday and sometimes it couldn’t be predicted ie ramdom fits and at other times if he heard Quran or was reminded about his illness, he would start fitting. It came to a point where they thought he would have to stop going to school because of the constant random fits.
The main issue or point that she learnt from my materials, and which she wants every parent of an epileptic patient to know, was the importance of the ruqya intentions. It was ONLY after she focused and made the intentions more precise that her son really benefited from her ruqya treatment, which eventually cured him.
I cannot over emphasise how important the intentions are especially for diagnosis and treatment. Once someone has understood the issue of ruqya intentions then the whole topic of doing ruqya becomes much easier to practise and to teach people.
This type of Epilepsy that is caused by jinn possession can happen to anyone and the jinn will take complete control over the patient’s limbs, mind, body and voice. It doesn’t matter if it is a sinless child or pious adult or sinful adult, the jinn is able to take control just as it is able to do so during sleep. Usually, jinn only completely take over sinful adults as I have said in numerous places on my website, particularly in my article “How Sins Affect Possessed Muslims”. In this article I mention in the table of results at “point 20”, that all types of Muslims can be affected by epilepsy that is caused by jinn possession.
Along with sleep, epilepsy is the only other condition where you will see a complete jinn take over in a pious Muslim or child below puberty.
IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR PARENTS DEALING WITH EPILEPTIC PATIENTS
1. Do ruqya diagnosis to
work out if the patient is actually possessed and then do specific ruqya diagnosis to see if the fits are actually being caused by jinn possession. (NB: the fitting may actually start after the first ruqya session so then obviously the jinn are causing it. In this case, go straight to treatment)
2. If it is too difficult to do ruqya diagnosis then you can go straight to treatment. Please use the ruqya treatment intentions that are mentioned at the end of my article “Family Diagnosis and Treatment Notes”. DON’T FORGET THAT IT WAS THE INTENTIONS FOR RUQYA TREATMENT THAT REALLY HELPED THE ABOVE MOTHER.
3. Even if the epilepsy is caused by jinn, the patient should continue taking their medication that has been prescribed by a physician. Once the epilepsy improves with ruqya treatment, the physician himself will reduce the amount of medication. LET THE PHYSICIAN DEAL WITH THAT SIDE OF THE TREATMENT. The same rule applies to schizophrenic or bipolar patients who have been prescribed medicine.
4. All Muslims with epilepsy should try ruqya diagnosis before getting any serious brain surgery done. There are absolutely NO side effects from ruqya. If the ruqya causes an epileptic fit THEN THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD SIGN and NOT a side effect. It means the epilepsy is caused by jinn and therefore ruqya treatment should be continued until the fits stop or get reduced. On seeing this change in the patient, the medical practitioners and doctors will hopefully cancel the brain surgery.
5. While the patient is fitting, you should follow the general advice and protocols that are given by medical doctors so consult one.
6. While the patient is fitting, Stop the jinn from attacking or harming the patient or others BUT DO THIS GENTLY.
7. Ruqya treatment should be done twice a day, morning and evening for about 30mins each time and this will probably cause a fit to occur but you should continue until the 30mins are up or until the fit stops. If the fitting stops and you have only done 5 or 15mins of ruqya treatment then you should continue until you do 30 mins even if another fit starts. If the patient starts fitting just before you have finished your 30 mins then you should continue until the fitting stops but if you feel that you want to give the patient a rest from ruqya treatment then you may stop the ruqya at anytime and then wait for the fits to stops. IF YOU HAVE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS OR THE FITTING DOESN’T STOP THEN PLEASE CONSULT A DOCTOR. We must remember that we can combine modern medicine with ruqya treatment so don’t be reluctant to call a doctor.
There are NO hard rules here so each parent, as a raqi, must look at what he or she believes will be beneficial for the patient and that may mean stopping the ruqya treatment early or not actually doing any ruqya treatment sometimes.
WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE FITS OR PHYSICAL REACTIONS DURING RUQYA TREATMENT ARE OUR SIGNS FROM ALLAH THAT THE TREATMENT IS WORKING.
8. Whenever a ramdon fit occurs, you should do ruqya treatment. You should stop the ruqya treatment once the fit stops.
9. During a fit episode, Don’t speak or communicate with the jinn. We don’t need the jinn’s help, we ONLY need Allah’s help. SEEKING HELP FROM THE JINN IS MAJOR SHIRK so please keep away from talking to jinn as you may fall into seeking its help.
10. During a fit or seizure, try and call out the patient’s name and tell them to fight and resist it and to try their best to regain control. This “fighting” may become easier as the jinn weakens.
11. Make sure the patient does their morning and evening protection adhkar, if they are old enough to do that. Parents should read on their children below puberty, the well known dhikr for children’s protection that the Nabi (salulahu alayhi wasalam) used to read on his grandchildren. They should read it on them whenever they are worried for them.
12. Don’t let the shaytan fool and convince you that ruqya treatment is detrimental to your child or patient. Initially, the fits may get worse because the jinn is trying to fight back but you should continue with the ruqya treatment and inshallah the fits will reduce.
13. Try the Alternative JET Treatment since it will be virtually impossible to do JET hijama on a fitting patient.
14. BEWARE OF SINS BECAUSE SINS DELAY THE CURE. Both the patient and parent as a raqi need to avoid sins.
15. Pay sadaqa on behalf of the patient, if they are a child with the intention of asking Allah to cure the patient through the payment of sadaqa. If the patient is old enough then let them also pay the sadaqa themselves.
16. Follow the other treatments I recommend in my self treatment notes on my website BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE CONSULTED A PHYSICIAN.
