What happens when you do Ruqyah?

Ruqyah is an Islamic spiritual practice that involves listening to and reciting Quranic verses and supplications to seek protection and healing from ailments, physical or spiritual. The practice is based on the belief that the Quran and Prophetic teachings are a source of divine healing and that listening to, reciting verses, and implementing Prophetic teachings can cure ailments and protect individuals from harm.

When you start implementing Ruqyah in your life, inshallah you will notice that your life will start to gradually improve. You feel more motivated and become more productive. Tasks that were once difficult to carry out now become easier to complete. You gain clarity of mind and peace. Your overall emotional well being increases. You no longer get irritated over small things, your relationships with your family members and loved ones start to improve and tension reduces within the home. Your wealth increases by Allah’s mercy. All your doors begin to open. 

There are many benefits of Ruqyah and there are only positive effects of its practice.

Some of which include: 

1. Spiritual Healing: Ruqyah is believed to have positive effects on the spiritual well-being of an individual. The listening of and recitation of Quranic verses and supplications is believed to purify the soul, strengthen faith, and increase the closeness to Allah. This leads to a sense of inner peace, tranquility, and a feeling of spiritual upliftment.

2. Physical Healing: In addition to spiritual healing, Ruqyah is also believed to have a positive impact on physical health. It is said to help alleviate pain, cure diseases, and provide relief from physical ailments.

3. Protection from Evil: One of the most significant positive effects of Ruqyah is the protection it offers against evil spirits, black magic, and the evil eye. By reciting Quranic verses, one can seek protection from such negative influences and shield themselves from harm.

4. Strengthening Relationships: Ruqyah is also believed to have a positive impact on interpersonal relationships. It can help bring individuals closer to each other and foster a sense of unity, compassion, and empathy.

5. Emotional Healing: Ruqyah is also believed to have a positive effect on emotional well-being. It can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression by providing a sense of comfort and solace. The verses of Quran can have a calming effect on the mind and provide a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

If you are suffering from a spiritual affliction such as evil eye, jinn/spirit possession, spiritual attacks or black magic, the first three months of Ruqyah may be challenging to remain consistent. Some afflicted individuals might experience certain physical, emotional and spiritual reactions as a result of starting Ruqyah. This is normal and is not a cause for concern. Simply push forward and carry on until your symptoms disappear and your condition improves. From helping other individuals on their Ruqyah spiritual journey, I have noticed that things get good around the 6 month mark, and they progressively get better at 1 year mark, 1.5 years mark, 2 years and 2.5 years and so on. Ruqyah is just a means but Allah is The Healer and The Opener. 

Remain consistent and patient and continuously  better yourself, your deen, your character, and your relationship with Allah, His Messenger and His Book. And remember to do the practical actions along with the spiritual practices. They go hand in hand together. 

With that being said, the positive effects of Ruqyah are numerous, ranging from spiritual healing to physical healing, protection from evil, strengthening of relationships, emotional healing, financial abundance and more. This practice is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition and is a powerful tool for seeking Allah's protection and healing for anyone in the world regardless of cultural, religious or spiritual background.
