Reviving Ruqyah the way of the Sunnah.

Ruqyah India exists so that people seeking healing find the Qur’an and the Sunnah, not taweez, superstition or someone looking to exploit them.

Our name

What Al-Isti’saal means

Al-Isti’saal (الاستئصال) means pulling something out by its roots, so that it does not grow back. “The Eradication” is our promise: we uproot falsehood, never people. Every person who comes to us is treated with care; it is shirk, magic and exploitation we stand against.

What we uproot

ShirkTaweez, amulets, calling on anyone but Allah
Sihr and its harmRemoved with the Qur’an and the Sunnah alone
Fake healersExploitation, hidden fees, abuse in the name of healing
Superstition and fearMyths that keep families anxious and dependent

What we plant instead

TawheedHealing is from Allah alone
The SunnahRuqyah exactly as the Prophet ﷺ taught it
KnowledgeSo every family can protect itself
Trust in AllahCalm, hope and care, alongside medical help

وَقُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلْبَـٰطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا

“And say, ‘Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart.’” Surah Al-Isra 17:81

Meet the raqi

Introducing Syed Umar Raqi

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. It is an honour to introduce our Sheikh, Syed Umar Raqi, the founder of Ruqyah India.

Our Sheikh grew up in a home where well-known “amils” and healers were regular visitors. Many of them were respected and even endorsed by public figures. But even as a child, he saw what happened behind the scenes: taweez and rituals that had nothing to do with the Sunnah, and vulnerable people, often women, being exploited in the name of healing.

Allah blessed him with a deep love for the Qur’an, and that made it impossible for him to accept any of it. If someone claimed to heal but ignored the Sunnah, his heart could not trust them.

So our Sheikh chose a different path: Ruqyah exactly as the Prophet ﷺ taught it. Reciting the Qur’an and authentic duas, relying on Allah alone, and being honest with every person who comes for help. Over the years this has also meant standing up to people who sell shirk as a cure, and facing serious opposition because of it. He always reminds us that every success belongs to Allah alone.

Those of us who learn from our Sheikh see his aim every day: that every Muslim family in India can recognise real Ruqyah, protect themselves with the Sunnah, and know where to turn when they need help.

As our Sheikh often says

“The cure is not in my hands. I only recite; Allah is the One who heals.”

“Never leave your adhkar. A home that remembers Allah is a fortress.”

“Don’t be afraid of sihr. Be afraid of leaving Allah. Whoever holds on to Allah, nothing can harm him without Allah’s permission.”

“Take your medicine and do your Ruqyah. Both are from the Sunnah.”

Written by his students at Ruqyah India

A word from Syed Umar Raqi

“To everyone who comes to us carrying pain: do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Hold on to your salah and your adhkar, and recite the Qur’an over yourself and your family. We are only a means; the cure is from Allah alone. May Allah grant you complete shifa and protect your home.”
