 ‫السلام عليكم ورحمۃ الله وبركاته‬

The mystical subject of Sihr, Jinn and Evil Eye is and has been a
topic of taboo in many cultures in and around the globe for
centuries. Ruqyah South Africa, an organization established by
the mercy of Almighty Allah, is dedicated and perseveres in the
education and training of Ruqyah with its main aim being the
eradication of evil.

The Mission Statement? To eliminate sorcery, witchcraft and all

evil by the will of Allah TA’ALA wherever it may exist.

Ruqyah South Africa, built on the foundations of Sheikh

Abderraouf Ben Halima’s teachings, endeavours. The aim is to
serve humanity in eradicating all types of afflictions of magic by
means of Qur’an and the Sunnah.

In striving with the mission statement the Raqis move forward

with one goal in mind, Al Istisaal, (the Eradication) of evil. It
also aims to safeguard oneself from all forms of shirk by turning
directly towards Allah Ta’ala for shifaa through the teachings of
the Shariah, and no other methodologies which is against Islam
and the Mu’min way of life.

May Allah  alleviate the darkness we are surrounded by and

grant us the advantage over and against our enemies.

‫وكان حقا علينا نصر المؤمنین‬

It Is Our Duty To Help The Believers

RUQYAH IN SOUTH AFRICA

2|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

Alhamdulillah, many South African people (and in fact people
around the world) are beginning to become aware of Ruqyah.
Just a years ago, it was, to the majority of South Africans, a
completely new term.

Nevertheless, the first questions most of our Raaqis still receive

from first time patients are mostly questions like "What exactly
is Ruqyah?", "Can you first tell us more about this Ruqyah?”
Where does this Ruqyah come from?" When Arab people hear
this, they are shocked. "A country like South Africa which has
come so far in deen is unaware of Ruqyah?”

How do South African people not know about one of the most
basic aspects of Islam?

The truth is we do know Ruqyah. We have learnt about it in

primary school maddressa. Our Ulama have learnt the Hadith
which speak about Ruqyah in our Darul Ulooms. In fact most of
us have at sometime in our lives practiced Ruqyah!
Shocked? Don't be!

Have you ever read your "four Quls" and blown on

yourself?...Then you have done "Ruqyah" on yourself. If any
parent reads "Ayatul Kursi" for protection for their children?
Ruqyah again!

So is Ruqyah something new or alien to us? The latest trend to

hit our shores? A new fad or craze? No, quite the opposite. It’s
really going back to our roots, going back to the way things were
done in the time of our Nabi  .

3|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

So what exactly is Ruqyah? Ruqyah means reciting Qur’an and
supplications (Duas) reported from the Messenger of Allah 
over someone as a means of protection, or over the sick as a
means of being cured. It is an excellent means of cure. Nabi 
used to recite over the sick and so did the Sahaabah , may
Allah be pleased with them.

Did you know that Jibraeel  performed Ruqyah on Nabi ?

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri  reported: Jibraeel  came to the
Messenger  and said: ”O Muhammad! Do you feel sick?” He 
said,”Yes.’‘ Jibril  supplicated thus:
َ ْ َ َْ ُ َ َ ْ َ ُ َ َ
ِّ ‫ ِّم ْن ﺷ ِّر ك ِّﻞ ﺫِّﻱْ نفﺲ ﺃﻭ ﻋین ح‬، ‫ ِّم ْن ك ِّﻞ ﺷ ْﻲﺀ ﻳ ُؤﺫِّﻳْﻚ‬، ‫ ب ِّ ْس ِّم ﺍلل ِّه ﺍﺭ ِّﻗ ْيﻚ‬.
‫اﺳﺪ‬
َ َ َ ْ َ
‫ ب ِّ ْس ِّم ﺍلل ِّه ﺍﺭ ِّﻗ ْيﻚ‬، ‫ﺍلل ُه ﻳ َﺸ ِّف ْيﻚ‬

”Bismillahi arqika, min kulli shay’in yu’dhika, min sharri kulli

nafsin aw `ayni hasid, Allahu yashfika, bismillahi arqika.

[With the Name of Allah. I recite over you (perform Ruqyah on

you) from all that troubles you, and from every harmful mischief
and from the evil of the eyes of an envier. Allah will cure you; and
with the Name of Allah, I recite over you].”
(Sahih Muslim 2186 ; Sunan At-Tirmidhi 972)

In fact in the time of Nabi  whenever someone had any

problem, whether a problem of Jinn, or sickness, or even being
bitten by a snake, the first thing they would do was to recite

4|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

Qur'aan on them. Look at this beautiful hadith about the
Sahaabah  performing Ruqyah:

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri  narrated: "Some of the Sahaabah

(companions) of Nabi Muhammad  went on a journey till they
reached some of the Arab tribes (at night). They asked the tribe
to treat them as their guests but they refused. The chief of that
tribe was then bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and they
tried their best to cure him but in vain.
Some of them said (to the others), ‘Nothing has benefited him,
will you go to the people who resided here at night, it may be
that some of them might possess something (as treatment).’

They went to the group of Sahaabah  (companions of Nabi

Muhammad ) and said, "Our chief has been bitten by a snake
(or stung by a scorpion) and we have tried everything but he has
not benefited. Have you got anything (useful)?"

One of them replied, ‘Yes, by Allah! I can recite a Ruqyah, but as

you have refused to accept us as your guests, I will not recite the
prayer for you unless you fix some wages for it.'

They agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them then

recited Surah Al-Faatihah and blew over the chief who became
right as if he was released from a chain, and got up and started
walking, showing no signs of sickness. They paid them what they
agreed to pay.

5|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

Some of them (i.e. the Sahaabah ) then suggested dividing
their earnings among themselves, but the one who performed
the recitation said, 'Do not divide them till we go to Nabi
Muhammad  and tell the whole story to him, and wait for his
order.' So, they went to Allah’s Messenger  and narrated the
story, Allah’s Messenger  asked: “How did you come to know
that the Surah Al-Fatihah could be recited as a Ruqyah?” Then
he  added: “You have done the right thing. Divide (what you
have earned) and assign a share for me as well.” (Tirmidhi)

Yes it is that simple, that's what Ruqyah is: reading Qur’aan and
Duaas over people with niyyah (intention) of shifaa (cure). But is
it effective you ask? Can my 20 year old jinn and jadu problem
that I have seen 40 moulanas for be cured that easily? Yes. Of
course you need a trained Raaqi (practitioner of Ruqyah) to help
you diagnose your problem first, you need to know which
particular ayats (verses) to read for your particular problem, how
to read it, how often to read, how many times to read, when to
read etc. but simply speaking, yes there is no case which is too
big for the Qur’aan and Sunnah.

For sorcery (black magic, jadu) especially the remedy is the

Qur'aan because sorcery is made with satanic words, which are
cancelled by Quraan: the words of Allah.

Almighty Allah  says: "If We had sent down this Qur'aan upon
a mountain, you would have seen it (the mountain) humbled and
coming apart from the fear of Allah. And these examples We
present to the people that perhaps they will give thought."
(Aayah 21 Surah Al Hashr 59)

Aisha  narrated: "Whenever Allah’s Nabi  became sick, he

would recite Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas and then blow his
breath over his body. When he became seriously ill, I used to
recite (these two Surahs) and rub his hands over his body for its
blessings." (Sahih Al-Bukhari 5016)

Suratul-Fatihah, the opening surah of the Qur'an, is also

recommended as a cure for sicknesses and diseases.

Allah's Messenger  said, "Fatihatul Kitab (Surah al Faatiha)

contains healing for every disease." (Tirmidhi)

7|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

Aisha  narrated that the Nabi , used the following Duaa
when family members were sick, "Allahumma Rabban-nas, adh-
hibil-ba's, washfi, Antash-Shafee, la shifa'a, ilia shifa'uk, shifa'an
la yughadiru saqaman.
[O Allah, Sustainer of mankind! Remove this disease and cure
him. You are the Great Curer, there is no cure but through You
that leaves behind no disease.]" (Bukhari and Muslim)

It was narrated that Ubaid bin Rifa’ah Az-Zuraqi said: Asma (bint
Umaish)  said, “O Allah’s Messenger! The children of Ja’far
have been afflicted by the evil eye, shall I recite Ruqyah for
them?” He  said, “Yes, for if anything were to overtake the
Divine Decree, it would be the evil eye.”
(Hadith No. 3510, Chapters on Medicine, Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol.
4; Hadith No. 2059, Chapters on medicine, Jami’ At-Tirmidhi,
Vol. 4).

Nabi  told Amr ibnul Aas , "Place your hand where you feel
pain and say 'Bismillah' three times, and then repeat seven times
A'oudho bi'izzatil-lahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa
'uhadhir.

[I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that
afflicts me and that which I apprehend.]" (Muslim)

So Alhamdulillah, it is clear from hadith that Ruqyah was the way

practised and recommended by our Nabi  and as such, there
can be no greater motivation for us to practise Ruqyah. It is
Sunnah, simple, effective and really the only way you should be

8|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

treating yourself if you have a magic (jadu), jinn or evil-eye (nazr)
problem.

Ruqyah is commonly translated in English as "incantation"

which carries a negative meaning, since the word incantation is
usually associated with magic, spells, and witchcraft. However,
Ruqyah in Islam is the recitation of Qur'aan (tilawat), seeking of
refuge (ta'aawuz), remembrance (zikr) and supplications (duas)
that are used as a means of treating sicknesses and other
problems.

The difference between magic and Ruqyah is the condition layed

down in the following Hadith: Nabi  said: “There is nothing
wrong with Ruqyah that does not involve shirk.” (Sahih Muslim
4079)

Shirk is the factor which will determine if the treatment

being done is permitted or not.

MAGIC AND SORCERY

]52-52:‫[ اَّلاريات‬

Allah  says: “Consistently, when a messenger went to the

previous generations, they said, “Magician,” or, “Crazy.”
Men have always known the phenomenon of sorcery and
possession by Jinn (spirits), only modern materialism rejects it in
the name of science, trying to explain it all by psychological

9|Ruqyah SA – Self Treatment for Patients

problems and superstitions. It is surprising to see that some
Imams and scholars deny the reality of these phenomenons.

While Allah clearly assesses the veracity of its effect

َ َّ َ ُ ْ َ َ َ ٌ ْ ْ َ َّ َ ُ َٰ َّ َ َ َ ْ َ ‫َو َما ُي َع زل‬

“These two did not divulge such knowledge. Without
pointing out: “This is a test. You shall not abuse such
knowledge.” But the people used it in such evil schemes as
the breaking up of marriages. They can never harm anyone
against the will of Allah.”

We also know how the Nabi was a victim of Sihr and fell sick
until Allah sent Angels to inform Him that he has been charmed
with hair and knots which had been placed under a stone in a
dry well that was used as a toilet. He then had to send
companions to fetch it and the knots opened by the recitation of
the two protection surahs, viz Surah Falaq and Surah Naas.
Nabi  health recovered after that. Sorcery is therefore a reality.

THE FOUR SYMPTOMS OF SORCERY AND JINN

1. Blockages in Life:
The person will be affected in work, money, marriage, studies,
contests, un-kept promises, and so called bad luck. When these

10 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
deadlocks are unusual and repetitive to such an extent that
they become systematic then we know it is sorcery.

2. Unusual Health Problems:

The person will also have unexplainable and permanent pains,
strange diseases medicine can’t explain; like open wounds,
migraines, pain in the whole body, joint pains, sterility and
erectile dysfunction and skin diseases like psoriases or crones.
These will also be unusual and repetitive until they become
systematic and doctors will not understand the cause of the
problem.

3. Unusual Mental States:

The person will feel extreme uncontrollable anger, irritability,
sadness, depression, oversight, lack of self-confidence, lack of
concentration, memory loss, hearing or seeing things eventually
until insanity. The person may also have extreme fear for no
reason or always feel that someone or something is watching or
following them.

4. Bad Dreams:
The person will have dreams of being chased, snakes, cats and
dogs, bulls or vicious animals, fighting or war, masks or statues,
water or drowning, high places or flying, death or graves,
travelling, fire, meat or fish and persistent sexual dreams. These
will also be unusual and recurrent until they become
systematic. The person will sometimes find blue marks or
scratches on the body. Women may even be raped in their
dreams.

11 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
WHAT IS EVIL EYE/NAZR?

The evil eye is the name for a sickness or misfortune transmitted,

usually with or without intention, by someone who is envious,
jealous, and covetous from among man or jinn. It could affect
children, adults, livestock, vehicles, property, businesses and any
kind of materialistic items.

Hadith

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas  : Allah's Messenger  said:

‘The influence of an ‘evil eye’ is real; if anything would precede
the destiny it would be the influence of an ‘evil eye’.’ (Sahih
Muslim Hadith 5427)
12 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah : “Evil-eye is true. It could put
a camel in the cooking pot and a man in the grave.”
(Kashfu’l-Khafa, 2: 76, narrated Abu Naim)

We are advised to recite ‘Masha Allah’, to prevent the casting-

out of an evil eye, therefore one should say ‘Masha Allah’ when
praising or looking at anyone or anything with excitement.

SYMPTOMS OF EVIL EYE/NAZR

The list below are some of the signs of the effects of the evil eye.
Please note that with all three inflictions (the evil eye, black
magic and jinn) the list of symptoms provided in this treatise is
not exhaustive. Also, these symptoms could be caused by other
means. It is meant only as general information for educational
purposes. For an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis please
see a trained professional.

➢ Changing of the colour of the face. The faces of people will

go dark, some pale, or a yellow pallor.
➢ Finding it hard to sleep during the night and feeling
sleepy during the day. Sweating while sleeping from the
forehead, back, hands and feet.
➢ Feeling of boredem, hopelessness, carelessness,
listlessness, and or apathy.
➢ Frequent urination although you are not diabetic.
➢ Aspirations feel out of reach. Whatever ambitions you
have.
➢ You feel as though you are incapable, or that you should
postpone trying.
13 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
 ➢ No zest or zeal for life.
➢ No desire to do things you used to enjoy doing or were
good at.
➢ Inability to do things you used to enjoy doing or were
good at.
➢ Headaches that move from one part of the head to
another.
➢ Weak appetite.
➢ Heat or cold in the limbs.
➢ Palpitations in the heart.
➢ Pain in the lower back and shoulders.
➢ Sadness and anxiety.
➢ Strong reactions due to abnormal fears.
➢ Withdrawal and love of solitude.

WHAT IS BLACK-MAGIC (JAADOO / SIHR)?

Sihr is the word used by Allah in the Qur’aan for magic. Sihr is
among the occult sciences. Literally, the definition of Sihr is -
“Every effect whose cause or origin is subtle, mysterious or
supernatural is Sihr.” (Lisaanul Arab and Qaamoos).

In the literal sense of the term, Sihr will apply to all things and
effects whose causes and origin are unknown, subtle, mysterious,
supernatural and incomprehensive, irrespective of whether the
causes of the effects and manifestations are tangible or
intangible, visible or invisible, material or immaterial, natural or
supernatural.

14 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
As long as the causes or the relationship between the cause and
effect remain concealed, the circumstance will be literally
described as Sihr.

Examples of such hidden and mysterious causes are:

➢ Incantations, words uttered or recited.
➢ Special formulae and potions prepared.
➢ Jinn and shayateen.
➢ Power of the mind.
➢ Stars, planets and other heavenly bodies.
➢ A concealed magnet.

The above are merely some hidden causes of events that come
within the literal definition of the word, Sihr. Besides these, there
are a great variety of effects in nature; the causes of which are
hidden, subtle or mysterious. Such effects of obscure causes can
all be described as Sihr in the literal sense of the term.

Sihr in the terminology of the Shariah does not cover all effects
with hidden causes. The definition of Sihr in shar'i terms is: “Sihr
is an act in which proximity to Shaitaan is gained and by virtue
of shaaitaan's aid, the act becomes Sihr (magic).” (Lisaanul Arab)

Sihr in the shar'i sense thus refers to all such acts, manifestations,
effects and demonstrations achieved by means of satanic
influence and aid. The aid, influence and proximity to shayateen
are obtained by pleasing them. The pleasure of the shayateen can
be obtained in several ways:
1. Uttering incantations of kufr and shirk.
2. Lauding praise on Shaitaan.

15 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
 3. Worshiping the stars and planets.
4. Murdering an innocent person and drinking his blood.
5. Remaining perpetually in state of impurity (Janaabat).
Basically black-magic involves impurities, shayateen,
jinn, satanic rituals, kufr (disbelief) and shirk
(polytheism).

separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm
anyone through it except by the permission of Allah. And the
people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But
the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the
magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched
is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.” (Aayah

was doing a thing which he was not actually doing. One day he

17 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said, "I feel that Allah
has inspired me as how to cure myself.

Two persons came to me (in my dream) and sat, one by my head

and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other, "What is
the ailment of this man?" The other replied, 'He has been
bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has bewitched him?' The other
replied, 'Lubaid bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What
material has he used?' The other replied, 'A comb, the hair
gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of the male date-
palm.' The first asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, 'It is in
the well of Dharwan.' "

So, the Nabi went out towards the well and then returned and
said to me on his return, "Its date-palms (the date-palms near
the well) are like the heads of the devils." I asked, "Did you take
out those things with which the magic was worked?" He said,
"No, for I have been cured by Allah and I am afraid that this
action may spread evil amongst the people." Later on the well
was filled up with earth. (Sahih Bukhari 490)

It should be noted that we live in a world of cause and effect.

When someone engages in the sinful and evil practice of black
magic, it may cause negative influence upon the individual who
was targeted. However, it must be unambiguously clear that this
is all through the knowledge and power of Almighty Allah.

 WHAT IS JINN PRESENCE OR POSSESSION?

DEFINITION:

Jinn or Djinn are mentioned frequently in the Quran (the 72nd

surah is titled Sūrat al-Jinn) and other Islamic texts. They inhabit
an unseen world in dimensions beyond the visible universe of
humans. The Quran says that the jinn are made of a smokeless
and "scorching fire", but are also physical in nature, being able to
interact physically with people. The jinn, humans and angels are
the three well known creations of Allah. Like human beings, the
jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have
free will like humans and unlike angels.

The Qurʾan also mentions that Muhammad  was sent as a Nabi

to both "humanity and the jinn", and that Ambiyaa and
messengers were sent to both communities.

They are usually invisible to humans, but humans do appear

clearly to jinn. Jinn have the power to travel large distances at
extreme speeds and are thought to live mainly in remote areas,
mountains, seas, trees, and the air, in their own communities.
Like humans, jinn will also be judged on the Day of Judgement
and will be sent to Paradise or Hell according to their deeds.

from the smokeless fire" (Aayah 26 - 27 Surah Al-Hijr 15)

Almighty Allah says: "O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt
you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of
their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees
you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed,
We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe."
(Aayah 27 Surah Al-'A`rāf 7)

Hadith-

Ya'la Ibn Murah , who says:

"I saw Allah's Messenger  do three things which no one before
or after me saw. I went with him on a trip. On the way, we passed
by a woman sitting at the roadside with a young boy. She called
21 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
out, 'O Messenger of Allah, this boy is afflicted with a trial, and
from him we have also been afflicted with a trial.
I don't know how many times per day he is seized by fits.' He 
said: 'Give him to me.' So she lifted him up to the Nabi .

He  then placed the boy between himself and the middle of the
saddle, opened the boy's mouth and blew in it three times,
saying, 'In the name of Allah, I am the slave of Allah, get out,
enemy of Allah!'

Then he gave the boy back to her and said: 'Meet us on our return
at this same place and inform us how he has fared.' We then
went. On our return, we found her in the same place with three
sheep. When he said to her, 'How has your son fared?' She
replied: 'By the one who sent you with the truth, we have not
detected anything (unusual) in his behavior up to this time.'"
(Musnad Ahmad (vol: 4, p. 170), and al-Haakim, who declared it
Saheeh)

The authentic narration above describes how Allah's Messenger

 commanded the Jinn possessing the boy, to leave.

The Messenger of Allah  is reported to have said:

"Iblees has placed his throne above the water (sea) and then he
sends his detachments. The closest of them to him are those who
cause the greatest trial. One of them comes back to him and says:
I did such and such. Shaytaan replies: You have not done
anything. Then another comes to him and says: I did not leave
him alone until I caused division between him and his wife." He

22 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
 said: "So Shaytaan brings him closer to himself and says: You
did well". (Saheeh Muslim)

The Jinn can cause mental disturbance via. Waswasaa

(whispering). They will continue to speak to you in matters of
faith/relationships/ and this will be targeted to that particular
person. They will address their areas of weakness and will target
them to fall into sin.

➢ Jinn can possess humans.

➢ Jinn can have sexual intercourse with humans (male and
female).
➢ Jinn can cause disturbance via. Electronic devices.
➢ Jinn can come to you in different shapes and forms.
➢ The jinn can influence your relationships.

SYMPTOMS OF JINN PRESENCE OR POSSESSION

➢ Bad dreams about aggressive animals such as being chased by

Snakes, scorpions, dogs, etc.
➢ A feeling of falling when falling asleep.
➢ Feeling lazy for ibadah (worship), you might even probably
stop doing ibadah (worship).
➢ Feeling distant from your family.
➢ Being scared for no reason.
➢ Panic attacks.
➢ Burning under the feet.

23 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
➢ Feeling a presence with you in the room, or like you are being
watched.
➢ See fast moving black shadows from the corner of your eye.
➢ Sleep paralysis.
➢ Person is unable to stand Qur’aan recitation or feels very
anxious when reading Qur'aan.
➢ Fainting or seizures when Qur'aan is read.
WHO IS A RAAQI?

Simply speaking a Raaqi is a practioner who has studied and

understands the science of ruqyah according to the Qur’aan and
Sunnah and who has dedicated his or her life to fighting the
battle against shirk, sihr( magic), jinn and the treatment of evil
eye and envy .

WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF A RAAQI?

A Raaqi should be able to fluently recite Qur'aan. His belief in

the words of the Qur'aan should be strong and he should practice
upon it. The more focus is put into the recitation, the more
powerful will the ruqyah effect be , with the permission of Allah.

Now, a level of righteousness on behalf of Raaqi that is powerful

enough to remove sorcery and evil eye needs to be defined.
The person must have experienced accepted prayers and
obtained divine responses at least from time to time in difficult
situations.

24 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
He should also try to solve serious problems by beseeching Allah
and amongst others, he should adopt taqwa (piety), be Allah
fearing and be a righteous, practicing Muslim.

The situation with Ruqyah is similar: the Raaqi appeals to Allah

to cure the patient and uses Allah’s words.

There are higher faith levels but that is not a condition to cure
people, though it is obvious that the more faith we have, the
more efficient we will be in healing.

We can recite Qur'aan with speed, but what is more important is

to feel each verse and the word we read. With practice, the Raaqi
tries to perfect his concentration, begging Allah for the patients’
shifaa, while keeping the meaning of the verses in mind, and
reading with emotion, power, speed and of course following the
rules of tajweed.

We cannot say that a Raaqi must be sinless or make thikr 24

hours a day, but obviously, he must strive to adhere to the orders
of Allah, and must try to stay away from all sin.

RUQYAH SOUTH AFRICA

Ruqyah South Africa is a team of Ruqa (plural of Raaqi) who have

studied together under the same Ustaadhs. Though our
backrounds and lives are varied, our aims and methods are
united.

Our method of Ruqyah is primarily that of Sheikh Abder Rauf

Ben Halima.
25 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
This has many benefits beside the guidance and mentorship of a
man who has completely dedicated his life to the science of
Ruqyah and has been a pioneer in this field for more than 25
years.

His method has been adapted to the South African context in

terms of setting, administration, Islamic legislature and Fiqh,
after beliberation with local ulama.

Many of us have been victims of Sihr and Jinn ourselves which

has established this inner motivation of helping others affected
by the same. We are driven by the concept of Jihad or warfare;
we are fighting a battle against falsehood, Shirk and sorcerers for
the pleasure of Allah.

Currently, we are treating and establishing Ruqyah centres

throughout South Africa. In areas where there is no centre
established, we visit our patients at their venues from time to
time and at times due to inconvenience, we take advantage of
technological means. We have incorporated social media as well
as email as an effective form of awareness and communication to
the South African Muslim population at large.

It is our aim to introduce this developing science to the greater

South African Muslim community via usage of mass media as
well as awareness campaigns which will also aid in establishing
centres and building long lasting partnerships with Ulama
Councils and individual communities.

26 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
All of the above is strictly under the guidance of righteous Ulama
and within the confines of Shari'ah. We hope to train more
people in order to expand on this wonderful science which is
derived from the Qur’aan and Sunnah.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT ABOUT US?

Some methods of Ruqyah prove more effective than others. The

objective is not to compare methods of Ruqyah and compete
with people who practice this much needed Islamic science
worldwide, rather the objective is the removing of Sihr
stimulated by Shirk to make the lives of our fellow Muslim
brothers and sisters more pleasant globally. Our Ruqaa always
endeavour to provide you the best service with expert advice in
all the components of Ruqyah.

We pride ourselves in taking the extra mile in making certain

that the blockages which you once faced are now an obscure
scene only through the permission and help of Allah. We will
always strive to the best of our ability in ensuring that the
privacy, dignity and honour of all our brothers and sisters whom
Allah has blessed us to assist, remains aloof as long as we are able
to offer assistance.

We never turn patients away due to them not being able to afford
treatment or that their “case” may be too strong. No “case” is too
strong.

We are but human and can error from time to time. We humbly
seek your forgiveness in advance should any of these unfortunate

27 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
circumstances arise. Kindly contact us to verify and assist you in
resolving your complaint.

OUR OBJECTS AND VISIONS

The objectives of Ruqyah South Africa:

1. To help people who are suffering in life due to magic, Jinn and
Evil eye (Nazr).
2. To protect the Imaan and Aqeedah (beliefs) of Muslims from
shirk.
3. Da’wah to non muslims who come for Ruqyah
4. To fight shirk, magic and sorcerers
5. To break the business of Aamils or Raaqis who charge too
much and keep Ruqyah a secret.
6. To assist the community socially as many people stuck in
substance abuse, prostitiution, crime etc have magic done to
them to ruin their lives.
7. Our vision is to eradicate shirk from the lives of people and
bring total reliance in Allah also to have at least one raaqi per
home or family. Insha Allah

Our method is simple and is offered to anyone who wants to

learn, treat himself, his family and or others.

In this way it is a Jihad, a struggle for the sake of Allah. You are
also being oppressed and the dua of the oppressed is always
answered and you must stand up all night making salaah and dua
so it must work. You must take dua very seriously.

28 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
An example, is how a saahir (magician) makes knots on a person
many times and when the person tries to remove the knots it will
take time because the knots are tied over and over again and the
sihr (magic) will be complicated and this is how the saahir will
become famous and improve his business. You can see that the
saahir will spend the whole night making the sihr and praying to
Shaytaan (or their gods) yet we cannot spend one night praying
to Allah, yet we expect the help and protection from Allah.

The thing is that if the people working for Shaytaan are ready to
make all sorts of sacrifices for Shaytaan then we must be ready
to make many sacrifices for Allah, otherwise this is how they are
going to beat us. We have the truth and we have Qur’aan but we
are not working hard with it.

As a Muslim how can we be afraid of Shaytaan and

sorcerers?
Sorcerers pray over and over to Shaytaan and all he does is just
give them very little power so if you are not afraid of Shaytaan
then why be afraid of the very little power of a sorcerer.
Remember that whatever you do for Islam, Shaytaan will fight
you.

If you look at the people making Sihr – they are not afraid of
Allah or people and are so proud and will even admit to you that
they even made sihr on you but we the ones who pray to Allah
and believe in Allah yet we are afraid of them. This is how they
beat us. The work of Ruqyah is to fight against Shaytaan for
surely he has waged war against man from the beginning of
creation of man until Qiyaamah. May Allah help and protect us.

29 | R u q y a h S A – S e l f T r e a t m e n t f o r P a t i e n t s
 Advice during Ruqyah treatment

intention when doing the Ruqyah. O Allah cure me from all health
issues, mental issues, mystical issues, and spiritual issues.
➢ Have conviction and sincerity.
➢ Adhere to Allah  commands.
➢ Adhering strictly to the sunnah of Nabi .

➢ Doing treatment without intentions.
➢ Lack of conviction.
➢ Not doing treatment or doing incomplete treatment.
➢ Stopping treatment because you feel better without
being completely cured.

not done as often as required.
➢ Psychotherapy not done.
➢ Over reliance on the Raaqi and not doing proper focused
treatment.
