Healing through Ruqyah from the Qur’an & the Sunnah

Shaykh Sa‘id al-Qahtani

Healing through the Qur’an and the Sunnah holds a central place in the Islamic tradition, as it reminds the believer that spiritual remedies are among the legitimate means that Allah has placed at his disposal. From the very first pages, Shaykh Sa‘id al-Qahtani explains how Healing through the Qur’an and the Sunnah rests above all on Tawhid, sincere trust in Allah and purity of the heart. This solid foundation helps the reader realise that the soul is healed first through faith before any material cause.

The author then presents, with clarity and balance, the principles of authentic ruqyah: its conditions, its rules and the essential precautions. He also explains common errors, superstitions, reliance on charlatans and ambiguous practices that deviate from the prophetic path. In addition, the book details how to use Qur’anic verses and authentic supplications to seek protection from the evil eye, sorcery and satanic whispers, as well as to soothe inner troubles such as anxiety and sadness.

Thus, the reader discovers the spiritual causes that strengthen the heart: the light of faith, constant dhikr, repentance, kindness towards others and the purification of inner diseases such as jealousy, hatred and resentment. These reminders are drawn from the Islamic texts but presented in a fluid and accessible style to facilitate immediate implementation.

• Practical benefits of ruqyah and its daily application

Healing through the Qur’an and the Sunnah also offers concrete guidance on how to recite over oneself or a relative, how to organise a calm and balanced ruqyah within the family, and how to turn trials into opportunities for sincere return to Allah. The author emphasises gentleness, patience and firmness of the heart, which are pillars of spiritual healing. Moreover, an entire section is dedicated to psychological ailments and to how faith, sound knowledge and righteous deeds contribute to soothing the soul.

To complete this approach, readers may also benefit from the book Ten Ways to Protect Yourself from Sorcery, the Evil Eye and Envy , which reinforces the methodology presented here. Together, these works offer a comprehensive vision of legitimate protection based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

With its structured layout, bilingual Arabic–French presentation and phonetic transcription, Healing through the Qur’an and the Sunnah is an essential guide for anyone seeking protection and healing in accordance with Islamic teachings, to deepen their faith and regain, by Allah’s permission, peace of heart and serenity of soul.
