Ruqyah Protocol
Verses (Ayat) of Chastisement and Burning
A collection of severe verses — to be recited when jinn are present
✦ ✦ ✦
Raqi Faisal Ahmed Sabit

Introduction — who this protocol is for
A collection of the verses in the Qur'an that speak of fire, punishment and consequences. These verses are recited during ruqyah when the presence of a jinn becomes clear. Remember — the One who has the power to punish is Allah; we only recite His words.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- Strong movements or reactions occur in the body during ruqyah
- Severe headache or a burning sensation at particular verses
- A long-standing influence of jinn, and ordinary verses are not working
- Seeing fire, punishment or being chased in dreams
- Treatment is ongoing under the supervision of a raqi
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.

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 — Part One
The number of recitations given beside each verse is this collection's own arrangement. If you cannot keep to the number, there is no harm — reciting attentively is what matters most.
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.

أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهٰرُ لَهُۥ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ وَأَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهُۥ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَاءُ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الْءَايٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ ۲۶۶
Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak [i.e., immature] offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allāh make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.

Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment. They will wish to get out of the Fire, but never are they to emerge therefrom, and for them is an enduring punishment.

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا يٰمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ ۖ وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَلَغْنَا أَجَلَنَا الَّذِى أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا ۚ قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوَىٰكُمْ خٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ ۱۲۸ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُوَلِّى بَعْضَ الظّٰلِمِينَ بَعْضًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ ۱۲۹ يٰمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايٰتِى وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا ۚ قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِنَا ۖ وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَوٰةُ الدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كٰفِرِينَ ۱۳۰ ذٰلِكَ أَن لَّمْ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غٰفِلُونَ ۱۳۱
And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term which You appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allāh wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing." And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn. "O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.

إِذْ يُوحِى رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلٰئِكَةِ أَنِّى مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا ۚ سَأُلْقِى فِى قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ ۱۲ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ ۚ وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ ۱۳ ذٰلِكُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَأَنَّ لِلْكٰفِرِينَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ ۱۴
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip." That is because they opposed Allāh and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allāh and His Messenger - indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty. "That [is yours], so taste it." And indeed for the disbelievers is the punishment of the Fire.

These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins. And for [striking] them are maces of iron. Every time they want to get out of it [i.e., Hellfire] from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"

📌 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, help me against the one in my body who is wronging me. You are Strong, You are Almighty. I am weak, and I seek Your refuge. By Your words, drive him out of my body.
