distractions (phone, talking, etc.). Trust only in Allah—not the Ruqyah itself. Say
Alhamdulillah after completing.
Conclusion
Ruqyah is a powerful protection and healing method prescribed by the Prophet ﷺ. It
should be part of every Muslim's daily routine, even if they are not sick. Remember:
• No amulets (taweez), beads, or unknown words—only Quran & Sunnah!
• Have full Tawakkul (trust) in Allah, as He alone is the Healer.
May Allah grant us protection, healing, and strong faith. Ameen!
