Ruqyah Protocol
Hizb as-Sayf al-Qati'
A protective hizb woven from verses of the Qur'an, against enemies, magic and rebellious jinn

Introduction — who this protocol is for
Hizb as-Sayf al-Qati' means 'the Hizb of the Sharp Sword' — it is a protective hizb woven from a collection of selected verses of the Qur'an, to be recited continuously against the plots of enemies, old and powerful magic and disbelief, attacks by rebellious jinn, and the evil eye and hasad (envy). It is not a protocol for a single symptom, but rather a complete spiritual fortress — its true benefit is gained only by reciting the whole hizb regularly and consistently.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- For those who suspect that long-standing, powerful magic or an amal (practice) of disbelief is at work against them
- Those who regularly feel the fear of enemies' plots or envy, at home and outside
- Those who face the resistance of stubborn and rebellious jinn during ruqyah
- Those who repeatedly face unusual obstacles in marriage, provision or work
- Those who are looking for a complete hizb as a daily spiritual shield of protection
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).

For him [i.e., each one] are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allāh.

And the Jews say, "The hand of Allāh is chained." Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allāh extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allāh does not like corrupters.

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.

📌 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)

O Allah, no scheme, magic or envy of our enemies can harm us unless You will it. Create a ring of protection around us and our family, and remove every obstacle from our path.
