Ruqyah Protocol
Verses on the Stars and the Heavens
A compilation of verses about the stars, the moon and the sky

Introduction — who this protocol is for
In the source, this chapter was titled 'Ruqyah for the Magic of the Stars and Planets'. The idea that astrology or the stars and planets have influence does not exist in Islam, so that framing has not been kept. What has been kept are those verses of the Qur'an in which Allah declares the stars, the moon and the sky to be His creation and under His control.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- You had become involved in horoscopes or astrology and want to return
- You feel an unreasonable fear about a particular time or date
- The problem increases at night and decreases during the day
- The symptoms become intense at the full moon or at particular times
- Doubt and restlessness about qadar (divine decree)
Important note: Most of the signs above can also have ordinary physical or psychological causes. So first get the necessary medical tests and treatment. Ruqyah runs alongside medical treatment, not as a replacement for it. Do not conclude with certainty that someone is affected by sihr or jinn just because a sign matches.
Translation of the meanings of the Qur'an: Saheeh International (via quran.com).
Opening duas
Make wudu and sit facing the qiblah. Make the intention: through the Word of Allah, I am asking Allah alone for healing.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
I begin in the name of Allah, with whose name nothing in the heavens or on the earth can cause harm; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

The Verses
The number of recitations given beside each verse is the compilation's own arrangement. If you cannot keep count, there is no harm — what matters most is reciting with full attention.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۱ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِينَ ۲ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۳ مٰلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ۴ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ۵ اهْدِنَا الصِّرٰطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۶ صِرٰطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ ۷
In the name of Allāh, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. [All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds - The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. It is You we worship and You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path - The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned [Your] anger or of those who are astray.

۞ اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشْكَوٰةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّىٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِىءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ ۗ يَهْدِى اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ۳۵
Allāh is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp; the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.

Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified. And he whom Allāh humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.

📌 Self-ruqyah guideline
Consistency is the key. A little every day, but regularly.
Method — step by step
- Make wudu, then sit somewhere quiet facing the qiblah. Keep your phone away.
- Make the intention: I am asking Allah for healing through the Words of Allah; the Words have no power of their own — the power belongs to Allah.
- Recite the opening duas (Chapter 1).
- Then recite the verses (ayahs) in order. While reciting, blow lightly into both palms and pass your hands over the affected area.
- Recite each verse as many times as stated in the instruction box below it — there is no need to do more or less.
- In between, make dua wholeheartedly in your own language for 15 minutes. If tears come, do not hold them back.
- At the end, recite the closing surahs and duas, then blow lightly into the water.
- Continue every day for at least 40 days. If you miss some days, do not lose heart — simply start again.

Your own dua in your own language (15 minutes)
During or after the recitation of the verses, ask Allah in your own language. Below is a sample — you do not have to read exactly this; say it in your own words.
O Allah, the stars of the sky, the moon, the sun — all are Your creation and move by Your command. No star owns my good or my harm; the only Owner is You. My qadar is in Your hand — I am content with it. Remove all superstition from my heart.

Ruqyah is a Shariah-based method of treatment; it is not a substitute for necessary medical treatment.
