Ruqyah Protocol
Magic in the Chest
Ruqyah to remove sihr (magic), jinn, and suicidal whispers lodged in the chest
✦ ✦ ✦
Raqi Faisal Ahmed Sabit

Introduction — who this protocol is for
"Magic in the chest" refers to sihr stuck in the chest area, or a jinn residing there, which can cause pressure and heaviness in the chest, restlessness, and various kinds of whispers (waswasa) — even thoughts of suicide or death. The recitations given here are mainly a series of duas composed with a chest-focused, offensive intention (of killing/burning away). When recited regularly, sincerely, and consistently, they bring benefit by Allah's will. It is good to rule out physical causes first through a medical examination; if the tests find nothing and the symptoms remain, continue this protocol consistently.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- You feel pressure, heaviness, or discomfort in the chest, but medical tests find no heart problem
- Thoughts of suicide or death suddenly come, with a feeling that they are rising from inside the chest
- During salah or Qur'an recitation, your chest becomes heavy and your concentration is lost
- Unusual forgetfulness or a feeling of mental confusion comes together with discomfort in the chest
- There is a specific suspicion or indication that sihr has been tied in the chest
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).

📌 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.

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, destroy whatever has settled in my chest, whatever is causing distress and whispers. Open up my chest, grant tranquility to my heart, and protect me from the whispers of suicide and death.
