Ruqyah Protocol
Ruqyah for Burning Away Jinn
A protocol for creating intense pressure on a jinn that has taken refuge in the body, using the verses of fire and punishment
✦ ✦ ✦
Raqi Faisal Ahmed Sabit

Introduction — who this protocol is for
During ruqyah, many people suddenly feel intense heat or a burning sensation in the body — this often indicates that the jinn inside is being hurt by the verses of the Qur'an. In this protocol, verses that especially describe the fire of Hellfire and its punishment are recited one after another, so that, by Allah's permission, the jinn inside feels intense pressure and is forced to leave. This is a strict-level protocol — apply it not out of mere suspicion, but when a clear reaction (burning, anger, intense restlessness) appears during ordinary ruqyah. If the patient shows distress or cries while you recite, do not stop — keep reciting continuously, but if there is excessive panting or difficulty breathing, take a short break and then begin again.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- When a reaction of intense burning in the body, anger or restlessness appears during ordinary ruqyah
- After the presence of a jinn is fairly certain, not on the basis of mere suspicion
- When the jinn does not seem to leave easily even with regular amal, and extra pressure is needed
- If there is a history of frightening scenes in dreams or a feeling of pressure during sleep
- As a strict addition alongside regular protective ruqyah
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

Promises of the punishment of fire
Recite each verse (ayah) with clear pronunciation. Hold the intention that any jinn inside will feel pain from the meaning of these verses and leave.
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, the penalty for those who wage war against Allāh and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.

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.

Consistency is the key. A little every day, but regularly.

- 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.

- 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, if any jinn or any harm has taken shelter in my body or my mind, by Your power burn it out and drive it away, remove it forever, and grant me complete peace and well-being.
