My Testimony, Beliefs and Approach to Ruqya
As-Salāmu ʿAlaikum Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh. May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
This website was created to share knowledge about Islamic Ruqya and to support people seeking relief from sihr, the evil eye and jinn-related affliction. Any benefit found here is from Allah, while every mistake or shortcoming is from myself.
Why This Website Was Created
The purpose of this website is to share beneficial information and help those who feel affected by spiritual affliction, while reminding every patient that healing belongs to Allah alone.
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, this service was established with the intention of helping people seeking relief from sihr and related spiritual difficulties through permissible Qur’anic recitation and supplication.
Ruqya is not based upon the independent power of a practitioner, an object, a written page or any created being. A practitioner is only a means. Allah alone cures, protects and guides.
“Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide; and whomever He allows to go astray, none can guide.”A meaning repeatedly affirmed in the Qur’an
I ask Allah to guide us to what is true, purify our intentions, protect us from error and unite the believers upon goodness. Āmīn.
Our Beliefs
I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, without partner, and I bear witness that Muḥammad ﷺ is His servant and final Messenger.
We identify as Muslims from Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah. This is not intended as a modern sectarian label, but as an affirmation of following the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the recognised scholarly tradition of Islam.
In matters of Islamic jurisprudence, we respect the four established Sunni schools associated with Imām Abū Ḥanīfah, Imām Mālik, Imām al-Shāfiʿī and Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal. Our own primary fiqh tradition is the Ḥanafī school.
- Allah alone possesses independent power
- Healing and protection are from Allah
- Ruqya must remain free from shirk
- We invoke and supplicate to Allah alone
- We respect recognised Islamic scholarship
- We reject fortune-telling and occult practices
How We Understand Islamic Ruqya
These principles form the foundation of our treatment work and the information published throughout this website.
Allah Alone Heals
The practitioner does not possess independent healing power. Success, relief and protection are granted only by Allah.
Qur’an and Permissible Duʿā
Treatment should be based upon Qur’anic recitation, remembrance of Allah and permissible supplications.
No Worship of Jinn
We do not worship, invoke, make offerings to or seek unseen assistance from jinn.
No Claim to the Unseen
Knowledge of the unseen belongs to Allah. Practitioners should not make absolute claims about matters they cannot establish.
No Sectarian Barrier
People from different Muslim backgrounds may seek help. Our aim is treatment and sincere advice, not unnecessary division.
Honesty and Accountability
A practitioner should be open about what is established, what is interpretation and what is based upon experience.
Accusations Concerning Jinn Catching
Some people have accused practitioners who use the term “Jinn Catching” of controlling jinn, working with jinn or committing shirk. These are very serious allegations and should never be made lightly.
We do not claim independent control over jinn, nor do we call upon jinn for assistance. We call upon Allah alone. Any result that occurs during treatment is by the permission of Allah and not through a partnership with unseen beings.
The expression “Jinn Catching” is used on this website to describe our treatment method. It should not be understood as a claim that the practitioner possesses unrestricted power over the unseen.
“When a man says to his brother, ‘O disbeliever,’ it returns upon one of them.”Reported in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim
Disagreement should be handled through knowledge, evidence, fairness and good character. Questions about our method are welcome, but accusations of disbelief or shirk should not be made without clear proof and proper scholarly understanding.
Unity Without Concealing Differences
We Are Muslims
We do not believe ordinary Muslims should be reduced to hostile labels. Anyone who sincerely believes in Allah and His Messenger ﷺ is treated with dignity, regardless of ethnicity, nationality or social background.
We may disagree with another person’s conclusions or methodology without treating every disagreement as disbelief.
Respect for Scholarship
We value the accumulated scholarship of the Ummah and the work of the recognised jurists and scholars who preserved and explained Islamic knowledge.
Respecting scholarship does not mean claiming that every individual scholar or practitioner is free from error.
“He who does not thank people has not thanked Allah.”Sunan Abī Dāwūd, 4811

Following the Majority
The former version of this page included the narration:
“My nation will not unite upon misguidance, so when you see disagreement, adhere to the great majority.”Sunan Ibn Mājah, Book 36
The principle of respecting the mainstream scholarly tradition may be explained using a wider body of Islamic evidence, but accuracy requires that the grading of an individual narration is stated honestly.
A Request for Your Duʿā
I do not claim perfection or immunity from error. I ask visitors to assess what is presented with fairness, evidence and sincere intention.
Any truth or benefit found in this work is from Allah. Any error is from myself, and I ask Allah for forgiveness and correction.
Jazākum Allāhu Khayran wa Bārakallāhu Fīkum.
