Experience Holistic Spiritual Recovery with Our Expert Ruqya Practitioners in the Heart of Newcastle
What is Ruqya?
Ruqya, is a traditional Islamic practice used for spiritual healing and safeguarding. It involves recitations from the Quran and supplications, specifically seeking protection against the evil eye, black magic, and other spiritual ailments. Rooted in the Sunnah, Ruqya serves as a means to invoke Allah’s aid in healing. It can be conducted by oneself or by a knowledgeable practitioner. This therapeutic method emphasises the power of divine words for holistic well-being, aligning with Islamic teachings and promoting mental, spiritual, and physical health. It’s a non-invasive, faith-based approach to addressing unseen challenges affecting individuals.

Ruqya Shari'yah
The Healing Power of the Qur'an
The Qur’an is the veritable word of Allah (SWT), bestowed upon the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) not solely as guidance for humanity but also as a source of spiritual remedy and healing for a myriad of afflictions, including the expulsion of demons, black magic, and the evil eye. It is imperative to recognise that the Qur’an offers benefits across all facets of life; socially, economically, spiritually, and physically. Comprehension of the healing (Shifā) inherent in the Qur’an is, in itself, a form of healing, and those who grasp this attain its blessings. Allah (SWT) has explicitly stated in the Qur’an that the words of The Creator are a solace and mercy for the faithful. Hence, when embraced with absolute belief and in seeking the aid of Allah (SWT), this treatment can yield profound and miraculous recoveries from all types of illnesses. Allah (SWT) proclaims: “And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe” [Sūrāt al-Isrā, 17:82].
Sihr (Magic)
Sihr, derived from the concept of being concealed or clandestine, refers to the secretive practices of its exponents who seek to ingratiate themselves with shaytān. The term ‘magic’ encompasses the collusion between the sāhir (sorcerer) and shayāteen (devils), who reciprocally assist one another to foment discord within society, which is the quintessence of sihr. It enables the manifestation of illusions and deceptions, bewildering people and leading their perceptions astray, making the untrue seem true. The Qur’an provides evidence of this when Allah (SWT) recounts: “They said: ‘O Mūsā! Will you cast first, or shall we be the first to cast?’” [Qur’ān, 20:65]. Mūsā replied: “Rather, you throw.” And suddenly, their ropes and staffs seemed to him, through their magic, to be moving swiftly [Qur’ān, 20:66]. And Allah (SWT) is the most knowledgeable.
Jinn
The term ‘Jinn’ originates from the Arabic ‘Jann’, meaning concealed from vision. These beings, created by Allah (SWT) from a smokeless flame, possess free will, enabling them to discern and choose between morality and immorality. The scholarly consensus among the Imāms of the Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamā’ah confirms that Jinn can inhabit humans. This is supported by the words of Allah (SWT): “Those who consume usury cannot stand except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity.” (Qur’ān, 2:275). Jinn possession, often likened to illness, uses the Arabic term ‘mass’ (possession) akin to ‘junoon’ (insanity). Possession typically occurs for various reasons, predominantly through sihr (sorcery) and al-‘Ayn (the evil eye). It is imperative for those afflicted to draw nearer to Allah (SWT) through Islamic means as prescribed in the Sharī’ah, and to eschew practices not endorsed by the faith. And Allah (SWT) is the most knowledgeable.
Ayn
Al-‘Ayn, the Arabic term for the evil eye, refers to the harm inflicted upon someone through a look fuelled sometimes by jealousy or malice. It occurs when a person’s envious gaze, perhaps upon admiring an object, unintentionally casts a negative influence. This concept is supported by the directive given to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Allah (SWT) to seek protection from the malevolence of the envious, as stated: “And from the evil of the envier when he envies” [Qur’ān, 113:5]. It is crucial to recognise that while those who give the evil eye are driven by envy, not all who feel envy are capable of casting the evil eye. Allah (SWT) is the ultimate authority on all matters.
Mental Health
Mental health conditions encompass a range of disorders that can affect one’s thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. Commonly stemming from daily stress and anxiety, these conditions can often be managed or even resolved with early intervention and proper care. Conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and panic disorder fall into two primary categories: ‘neurotic’, which includes emotional states like anxiety and depression, and ‘psychotic’, characterised by a distorted perception of reality, potentially manifesting as hallucinations. It’s important to acknowledge the potential link between mental health issues and Jinn possession, a topic that warrants further exploration. Accurate diagnosis and treatment should always be conducted by qualified health professionals. Allah (SWT) is the ultimate source of knowledge.
