What is Ruqya?
Ruqyah is the treatment relayed to us by the Prophet Muhammad (saw) for afflictions such as Sihr (Magic) Masaha (Possession by shayatin, jinn or the evil) and Ayn (Evil Eye).
Practically, it means to recite a verse or verses of the Holy Qur'an or a supplication using words permissible in light of the sayings of Rasool Allah (saw).
Ruqyah ( urdu : damm) is a Islamic spiritual therapy according to the Sharia, for issues pertaining to the heart, mind and soul.
Permissibility of Ruqya
‘Awf bin Malik narrated:
"We used to recite ruqyahs during the jahiliyyah, and we said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about that?
He said: “Recite your ruqyahs to me. There is nothing wrong with a ruqyah that does not involve shirk.”
And Awf bin Malik narrated from Jabir:
"The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade ruqyah, then the family of ‘Amr ibn Hazm came to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, we had a ruqyah that we used to recite for scorpion stings, but you have forbidden ruqyah. They recited it to him and he said: “I do not see anything wrong with it. Whoever among you can benefit his brother, let him do so.”
(Saheeh Muslim)
Rasool Allah s.a.w Performed Ruqya on a Jinn afflicted Boy
" I saw Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) 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 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 (peace be upon him) said: 'Give him to me.' So she lifted him up to the Prophet.He (peace be upon him) 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 authentic)
A sahabi r.a performed Ruqya and Rassol Allah s.a.w approved it
A group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey and traveled until they came near one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they were refused.Incidently, the same night, the chief of that tribe was stung. His people tried everything to cure him but nothing helped. Then some of them said, "Why don't you go to those people who are staying (nearby)? Maybe one of them has something."So they went to them and said,
"O people, our leader has been stung and we have tried everything and
nothing helped him. Do you have anything?"
One of the companions r.a said,
"Yes, by Allah. I will perform Ruqyah for him, but by Allah we asked
you for hospitality and you did not give us anything, so we will
not perform Ruqyah for you unless you give us something in return."
So they agreed on a flock of sheep. Then he started to recite Sura Al Fatiha and blow on him. The man recovered quickly from his complaint and started walking, and he was completely cured. After that they took the flock of sheep.Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Let us share it out." The one who had performed Ruqyah said,
"Do not do anything until we come to the Prophet (peace and blessings
be upon him) and tell him what happened, and we will wait and see
what he tells us to do."
So they came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what had happened. He said,
"How did you know that it is a Ruqyah?" Then he said,
"You did the right thing. Share them out, and give me a share."
And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled.
(Al-Bukharee and Muslim)
Rasool Allah s.a.w is reported by Abu Hurayrah in Saheeh Muslim (vol: 4, no: 6250) to have said:
"Whoever relieves a believer of one of the tragedies of life, Allah will relieve him of one of the calamities of the Day of Resurrection."
Jaabir (ra) also reported in Saheeh Muslim (vol: 3, no: 5456) that when Rassol Allah s.a.w was asked about Ruqya, he replied:
"Whoever among you is able to help his brother, he should do so."
Types of Ruqya
More on Permissibility of Ruqyah
If the one who performs ruqyah does so by reciting general verses of the Quran or general prayers seeking refuge with Allah or other du‘as for ruqyah, or whatever Allah may inspire him with of saheeh (authentic) du‘as that are appropriate to the situation, without restricting it to the specific ruqyahs that have been narrated, there is nothing wrong with that in sha Allah, because of the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): “Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother, let him do so.” [Ahmad]
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is nothing wrong with a ruqyah that does not involve shirk (paganism).” [Muslim].
One must always believe that the true and ultimate protector is Allah (swt) alone, and that Ruqyah and medications are means that He created and He controls as He wills. Thus trust must be put in Him and not in the means that He created. Allah (swt) commands His Messenger (saw): So seek refuge with Allah (only); verily, it is He who is all-Hearer, all-Seer.
What to Recite?
With regard to the du`aa' that is prescribed for the Muslim to say if he wants to recite Ruqyah for himself or for someone else, there are many such du`aa's, most common are Al-Fatihah and Al-Mu`awidhatayn (last two surahs of the Holy Quran)
Narrated by Ummul Momineen Ayesha Sidiqa r.a
"When Rasool Allah (s.a.w) was ill, he would recite al-Mu`awidhatayn (surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas) over himself and spit dryly. When his pain grew intense, I recited over him and wiped him with his own hand, seeking its blessing. "
(Sahee Al-Bukharee)
'Aishah (RA) also reported: "In the final sickness in which he passed away, the Prophet (saw) used to blow over himself with al-Mu'awwidhat. When he became very ill, I blew with them for him, rubbing over him with his own hand because of the blessing in it." Al Bukharee and Muslim
We can use these Surahs for scorpion stings like it as been reported in a hadith.
It was narrated that Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek refuge for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, and he would say, 'Your father [ meaning Ibrahim peace be upon him] used to seek refuge with Allah for Isma`il and Ishaq with these words: A`udhu bi kalimat Allah al-tammah min kulli shaytanin wa hammah wa min kulli `aynin lammah (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).'" (Al-Bukharee).
As explained earlier, al-Muawwidhat are the last three Surahs of the Qur'an. The last two of them carry a clear meaning of ruqyah. Surat ul-Ikhlas (112) does not carry such meaning in an explicit manner, but contains concise and strong words of praise for Allah (swt), making it an important introduction to the succeeding two Surahs: (Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what he created, and from the evil of darkness when it settles, and from the evil of the blowers in knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies.") 113 (Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of the people, the King of the people, the God of the people, from the evil of a retreating whisperer, who whispers (evil) in the breasts of the people, (whether he is) from among jinns or the people.") 114
'Aishah (RA) reported: "When Allah's Messenger (saw) went to bed, he would bring the palms of both hands together, and blow into them while reading "Qul huwa Allahu ahad" 112, "Qul a'udhu bi rabb il-falaq" 113, "Qul a'udhu bi rabbi n-Nas" 114. He would then rub with them whatever he could reach of his body, starting with his head, face, and the front part of his body. He would do this three times. When he got very ill, he asked me to do that for him." Al Bukharee and Muslim.
Ubayy Bin Ka'b narrated that he had a harvest of dates. He noticed that it shrunk every day, and decided to watch it at night. He did and noticed a beast that looked like a boy who attained puberty. He gave him salam, and it responded to him with salam.
He asked it, "Are you human or jinn" It replied, "Jinn." He told it, "Show me your hand." It showed him its hand, and he saw that it looked like a dog's, with fur like that of a dog covering it. He exclaimed, "Is this how jinn are like!?" It then told him, "All jinns know that there is no one among them stronger than me." He asked it, "What brought you here?" It replied, "We have been informed that you like to give charity, so we came to get some of your food." He asked it, "What would protect us from you?" It replied, "This ayah from Surat ul-Baqarah: (Allahu la ilaha illa huwa Al-Hayy ul-Qayyum,) (2/255) - whoever says it in the evening will be protected from us until the morning, and whoever says it in the morning will be protected from us until the evening."
In the morning, Ubayy came to Allah's Messenger (saw) and told him of that incident. He told him, 'The evil one has said the truth!' Recorded by An-Nasai.
Ruqya of Jibreel a.s
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported that Jibril came to the Prophet (saw) and said:, "O Muhammad, are you sick?" He replied, 'Yes.' He said: "Bismillahi arqik, min kulli shayin yuthik, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ayni hasidin, Allah Yashfik, Bismillahi arqik" - With Allah's Name I shelter you (give you ruqyah), from all that ails you, from the evil of every soul, or that of the envious eyes. May Allah cure you; with Allah's Name I shelter you 9give you ruqya)."
Sahee Muslim.
