Magic & Jinn
Individuals afflicted by magic can often feel overwhelmed when thinking about it,
much to the delight of magicians and evil jinns. It is vital however that a victim
remains optimistic. One should never become despondent or think they are
incurable. Rather one must think highly of Allah and have firm hope in Him.

FAQs
How does one know if they’re afflicted with evil eye, etc?
The best gauge for knowing whether one is afflicted is the Qur’ān. Nothing can hide from the powerful
and supreme words of The Almighty . The afflicted person may feel pain while reciting or listening
to ruqyah. They may also feel restless or scared. Other symptoms may include itching, vomiting,
diarrhoea, fever, sweating, an urge to urinate or feeling sleepy. If these symptoms arise, continue
reciting or listening to ruqyah, especially the āyāt that exacerbate these symptoms.
14
Are there specific āyāt in the Qur’ān that have more impact?
The Qur’ān has many āyāt of ruqyah. The strongest are Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, Āyat al-Kursī and the last
three sūrahs of the Qur’ān. Recite or listen to these for long durations where possible. If certain āyāt
elicit greater symptoms, then these should be repeated if possible. You can also add other verses which
mention the Greatness and the Oneness of Allah such as 2:164, 3:18, 7:54, 23:118, 72:3, 37:1-10,
59:24, Sūrah al-Mulk and al-Raḥmān.

Prevention is Better than Cure
The deadly effects of envy, evil eye, magic and jinn are very common today. To safeguard
ourselves, we should adhere to the methods of protection shown by our beloved Prophet .
Mention the Name of Allah when entering the house & before eating.
Shayṭān cannot spend the night in your home nor can he partake in your meal. (Muslim)
