Steps
- 01
Write plainly
Name, city, what changed, and when. If you cannot name the cause, say that. A long account is not required.
- 02
A reply
You will hear back within one to two days. If someone is unsafe, contact local emergency services. This practice is not an emergency line.
- 03
The conversation
Questions only. When it started, who is affected, what a doctor has said, and what has already been tried. You will not be told that the unseen has been inspected. That knowledge belongs to Allah.
- 04
The ruqyah
Relevant passages are recited, among them al-Fatihah, Ayat al-Kursi, al-Falaq, and an-Nas, together with the ruqyah supplications reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him. The sitting is quiet. It may be for a person or for a house.
- 05
What you are given
Morning and evening remembrance. What to say on entering and leaving the home. Removal of amulets whose contents are unknown or unlawful. Lawful medicine continues. A person can, and should, also recite over themselves.
- 06
Afterwards
Relief may be soon, gradual, or not yet visible. A further sitting is arranged only if it is still needed. No result is promised. Cure is from Allah alone.
What to expect
- The sitting is quiet. There is no performance and no claim to see what is hidden.
- If you are able, be in a state of wudu. A quiet room is enough. Switch music off.
- You may feel nothing unusual. That does not decide the outcome.
- A woman is not left alone with a man who is not her mahram. Say who will be present.
- In person or by voice is agreed when you write, according to what is possible and appropriate.
What this is not
- No sihr, and no answer to sihr that is itself sihr
- No astrology, numerology, or fortune-telling
- No calling, questioning, or bargaining with jinn
- No talismans, grids, or amulets of unknown or unlawful writing
- No substitute for a physician, a psychiatrist, or the authorities
- No promise of a result
Common questions on amulets, children, and privacy are gathered on the questions page.
Consultation
Begin with what changed.
Write the change, the date if you have it, and whether a doctor has already been seen. The rest can wait for the reply.
