Questions, answered honestly.

Ruqyah means reciting the Qur’an and authentic duas over someone, asking Allah alone for healing and protection. The Prophet ﷺ did it and approved it, as long as it contains no shirk.

Sahih Muslim 2200

Yes. The Prophet ﷺ recited over himself, and Aisha recited over him when he was ill. Our free step-by-step lesson shows you how.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5017, 5735

We do not use, sell or recommend any taweez or amulet, including ones with Qur’an written in them. The Prophet ﷺ warned that amulets and charms are shirk, and protection should be sought the way he taught: through the Qur’an recited, and the daily adhkar.

Sunan Abi Dawud 3883

There is no single sign, and having some of these does not prove sihr, just as not having them does not rule it out. Signs can show up around you or in yourself:

Around you

• Finding strange objects: a taweez with talismans, beads, unusual stones, powders or flour, pins or needles
• Damaged clothes, stains (such as blood), or unsettling findings in the bathroom
• Symbols, liquids or eggs left at your doorstep, slaughtered cats, or nails driven into doors

In your relationships and feelings

• Extreme hatred or avoidance between husband and wife, or sexual difficulties
• Being unable to get married or to reconcile
• Unexplained mood swings, constant changes of plans, excessive anger, or crying without reason
• Losing interest in religion: no focus in salah, leaving the Qur’an, being drawn to sin
• Threatening family members

In your body and health

• Eyes that look drugged
• Vomiting or unexplained bleeding from the mouth
• Continuous bleeding in women, or repeated miscarriages
• Repeated, unexplained divorces and remarriages
• Persistent headaches or stomach pain
• An aversion to the sea, wind or graves
• Having been made to eat, drink or inhale something from a magician

If you recognise these signs, increase your remembrance of Allah, keep up your daily adhkar, and never lose hope in His mercy. “Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.” (Qur’an 13:28)

The evil eye is real (Sahih al-Bukhari 5740). Signs may include:

• Constant yawning without tiredness, or burping without eating
• Symptoms getting worse while reciting or listening to the Qur’an
• Itching connected to what was envied (for example, when handling money if you were envied for your wealth)
• Unexplained skin spots or boils, hot flushes, tightness in the chest, tiredness or sleeplessness
• Waswasa (negative whispers), sudden weight gain, certain cancers, and psychological problems such as delusions or fear
• Forgetfulness or sleepiness during study or salah, headaches, allergies or sinus problems, excessive sneezing, cold and flu symptoms
• Hair loss, dark circles under the eyes, paleness, persistent headaches, unexplained stomach pain
• An urge to leave home, or feelings of despair and death
• Disturbing dreams (of dead people, lizards or cats), or seeing the envier looking at you strangely
• Physical problems that keep moving around the body, ants appearing, or children crying excessively

Having some of these signs does not prove the evil eye on its own.

Yes. Ruqyah and medicine go together. As part of our assessment we ask about your medical history, and we send people for check-ups ourselves when we see signs that need a doctor. Please keep taking any treatment your doctor has given you.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5678

No, never. Allah created a treatment for every disease, and taking medical treatment is part of the Sunnah. Ruqyah and medicine go together.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5678

No one can. The cure is from Allah alone; the raqi only recites and asks Him. We promise sincerity, honesty and the Sunnah method, not a result.

Please get help now: call 112 in an emergency, or Tele-MANAS on 14416 for free mental-health support in India. Talk to someone you trust. You are not alone, and seeking help is not a weakness of faith.

We first listen to your situation and medical history, then the raqi recites the Qur’an and authentic duas, and you leave with a simple plan to continue at home. A personal session is about 60 minutes, in person or online. More on Get help →

Yes, we charge a fee, and it is always agreed with you before the session. Taking payment for Ruqyah is allowed: companions of the Prophet ﷺ accepted payment for reciting Al-Fatihah over a sick man, and he approved it. What is wrong is pressure, hidden charges and selling “special” cures.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5749 · Sahih Muslim 2201

Yes. Sisters must attend with a mahram (such as father, brother, husband or son) or a trusted chaperone. Sessions cannot go ahead without one. For brothers, a companion is optional.

We are happy to give general guidance and point you to the right adhkar. But we do not diagnose anyone without a proper consultation: every situation is different, and guessing can do harm.

Yes. Everything you share stays confidential, and we never feature anyone in videos, photos or stories without their written permission.

Stay calm: Allah is greater than any magic. Don’t open, burn or throw it away yourself, and don’t panic your family. Take a photo, keep it aside, keep up your daily protection, and contact us so a qualified raqi can deal with it safely the Sunnah way.
