Ruqyah Protocol
Fakkut Ta'til
A ruqyah protocol for removing hidden obstacles and opening blockages in provision
✦ ✦ ✦
Raqi Faisal Ahmed Sabit
Al Quranic Ruqyah Healing Center
Introduction — who this protocol is for
Fakkut Ta'til means opening a hidden and deep obstacle (ta'til) in some specific area of life that cannot be broken through ordinary effort and hard work — especially in matters of provision, employment or business. Here too a balance is essential: not every failure or delay is caused by an unseen obstacle; in most cases it is a test from Allah or a natural part of life. However, if opportunities keep slipping away again and again in the same pattern for unclear reasons, continue this protocol consistently.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- No progress in job, business or provision despite trying for a long time
- Opportunities (a job, a promotion, a business deal) that seemed almost certain repeatedly slipping away at the last moment
- Feeling obstructed for unclear reasons in several areas of life at the same time
- A long-lasting feeling of not getting results in proportion to your effort and ability
- Wanting to do precautionary amal when you suspect the evil eye, hasad (envy) or magic but are not sure
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.

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ۱۱۷ فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ۱۱۸ فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُوا صٰغِرِينَ ۱۱۹
And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying. So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing. And they [i.e., Pharaoh and his people] were overcome right there and became debased.
Recite: 9 times
Intention: The verse in which the staff of Musa (peace be upon him) swallows up all the fabricated tricks of the magicians — for destroying obstacles/magic
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ائْتُونِى بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ ۷۹ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ۸۰ فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۥ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ۸۱ وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ ۸۲
And Pharaoh said, "Bring to me every learned magician." So when the magicians came, Moses said to them, "Throw down whatever you will throw." And when they had thrown, Moses said, "What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allāh will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allāh does not amend the work of corrupters. And Allāh will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it."
Recite: 6 times
Intention: Recite with emphasis the part "What you have brought is magic; surely Allah will nullify it" — to neutralize magic
قَالُوا يٰمُوسَىٰ إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَىٰ ۶۵ قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا ۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ ۶۶ فَأَوْجَسَ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ خِيفَةً مُّوسَىٰ ۶۷ قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْأَعْلَىٰ ۶۸ وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سٰحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ ۶۹
They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw." He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes]. And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior. And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."
Recite: 5 times
Intention: Recite with emphasis the part "The magician will not succeed wherever he comes from" — to make the effect of magic fail
Verses for expansion of provision and relief

فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَىْ عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهٰدَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْءَاخِرِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مَخْرَجًا ۲ وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْرًا ۳
And when they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for [the acceptance of] Allāh. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allāh - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allāh will accomplish His purpose. Allāh has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.

📌 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, destroy all the deep and hidden obstructions (tatil) in every area of my life, the lack of provision and all the evil eye, hasad, sihr and jinn connected with it, and the Shaytan jinn inside and outside my body and all their influence.

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