Qur’anic and Prophetic Method of Healing from Magic
Source: Ahkam wa Masail, Vol. 01, in the light of Qur’an and Hadith, p. 497
❖ Question
For about ten years, our family has been under the effect of magic, and we are deeply distressed. We have visited many practitioners; they provide temporary relief, but after a few days, the same situation returns.
The children often remain ill, sometimes complaining of headaches or stomach pain. They show disinterest in tasks, resist instructions, and neglect both schoolwork and Qur’an lessons. If compelled, they pick up their books but cannot memorize. Please suggest a permanent solution.
❖ Answer
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu wa-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, ʿAmma Baʿd!
We pray that Allah ﷻ protects you, your wife, and children from every type of magic. Āmīn, Yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn.
✿ Spiritual Healing Method
After Every Obligatory Prayer:
- Recite at least once (preferably five times):
- Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ
- Sūrat al-Falaq
- Sūrat al-Nās
Before Sleeping:
- Recite three times each:
- Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ
- Sūrat al-Falaq
- Sūrat al-Nās
- Blow into your hands and wipe them over your entire body.
(Reference: al-Bukhārī, Kitāb Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān, Bāb Faḍl al-Muʿawwidhāt)
✿ A Special Duʿā to Recite Frequently
This duʿā may be recited in the first and second sitting of prayer, as well as during sujūd:
اَللّٰہُمَّ اکْفِنَاہُمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ
(O Allah! Suffice us against them in whatever way You will.)
(Reference: Muslim, Kitāb al-Zuhd, Bāb Qiṣṣat Aṣḥāb al-Ukhdūd)
✿ A Great Dhikr for Morning and Evening
Recite 100 times daily:
"لاَ اِلٰہَ اِلاَّ اﷲُ وَحْدَہُ لاَ شَرِیْکَ لَہُ، لَہُ الْمُلْکُ، وَلَہُ الْحَمْدُ، وَہُوَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیْئٍ قَدِیْر"
(Reference: al-Bukhārī, Kitāb al-Daʿawāt, Bāb Faḍl al-Tahlīl)
✿ Important Instructions
- Avoid lengthy or overly burdensome recitations that cause fatigue.
- Adhere strictly to the duʿās and adhkār transmitted with authentic chains from the Prophet ﷺ.
- Consistent daily practice at the prescribed times will, in shā’ Allāh, bring healing and peace for you and your family.
