Ruqyah & Illness.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۝ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ۝ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۝ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ۝ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ۝ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Bismi-llāhir-raḥmānir-raḥīm. Al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn. Ar-raḥmānir-raḥīm. Māliki yawmid-dīn. Iyyāka naʿbudu wa iyyāka nastaʿīn. Ih-dinaṣ-ṣirāṭal-mustaqīm. Ṣirāṭal-ladhīna anʿamta ʿalayhim, ghayril-maghḍūbi ʿalayhim wa laḍ-ḍāllīn.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is for Allah, Lord of all the worlds, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help. Guide us on the straight path — the path of those You have blessed, not of those who have earned anger, nor of those who are astray.

Recite 7 times over the person or over water, then spit lightly and have them drink or wash with it.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِيكَ، مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ حَاسِدٍ، اللَّهُ يَشْفِيكَ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ

Bismi-llāhi arqīka min kulli shayʾin yuʾdhīk, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ʿaynin ḥāsid, Allāhu yashfīk, bismi-llāhi arqīk.

In the name of Allah I perform ruqyah for you from everything that harms you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May Allah heal you. In the name of Allah I perform ruqyah for you.

The Prophet ﷺ used to perform this ruqyah for the ill among his companions.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ — أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

Bismi-llāh (×3) — Aʿūdhu billāhi wa qudratihī min sharri mā ajidu wa uḥādhir (×7).

In the name of Allah (×3) — I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I find and what I fear (×7).

Place the right hand on the place of pain. Say 'Bismillah' three times, then the longer phrase seven times.

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ، اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

Allāhumma Rabban-nās, adhhibil-baʾs, ishfi antash-Shāfī, lā shifāʾa illā shifāʾuk, shifāʾan lā yughādiru saqamā.

O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction. Heal, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing — a healing that leaves no illness behind.

لَا بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Lā baʾs, ṭahūrun inshāʾAllāh.

No harm — it is a purification, if Allah wills.

Say this to the sick person when visiting them.

أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ

I ask Allah the Magnificent, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, to heal you.

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ۝ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ

Qul huwa Allāhu aḥad · Qul aʿūdhu bi-Rabbi al-falaq · Qul aʿūdhu bi-Rabbi an-nās

Recite Sūrah al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq, and an-Nās each in full.

Blow into cupped palms after each three-surah recitation, then wipe over the entire body — starting from the head. Do this three sets before sleeping for protection.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ

Allāhumma innī asʾalukal-ʿāfiyata fid-dunyā wal-ākhirah.

Prompt the dying person to say this. Do not force or repeat back to them after they have said it.

Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn. Allāhumma ujurnī fī muṣībatī wa akhlif lī khayran minhā.

Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we will return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction and replace it for me with something better.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ

Allāhummagh-fir lahū warḥamhū, wa ʿāfihī waʿfu ʿanh, wa akrim nuzulahū, wa wassiʿ mudkhalahū, waghsilhū bil-māʾi wath-thalji wal-barad.
