Ruqyah Protocol
Tahrij for the Home and Body
A special tahrij-ruqyah protocol to expel jinn and magic that have taken refuge in the home and body
✦ ✦ ✦
Raqi Faisal Ahmed Sabit
Al Quranic Ruqyah Healing Center
Introduction — who this protocol is for
Both the home and the body can sometimes become a refuge for jinn or a target of magic. This protocol begins with a firm 'tahrij' (compelling them to leave by a lawful oath), and then recites in sequence the verses of sovereignty and power and the specific duas for destroying jinn and magic. Balance is important here too: discomfort in the home or unexplained suffering in the body does not always mean jinn or magic, but if the signs match, continue this protocol regularly and with patience.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- An unusually heavy feeling in the home, discomfort, or repeatedly seeing nightmares
- Unexplained pain, tingling or restlessness in the body, for which no medical cause is found
- Suspecting that there is magic or a knot (binding) in the home or body
- Repeated unusual obstacles arising in work, provision or relationships
- Wanting to keep the home and family under protection from jinn and the evil eye, before or after moving into a new home
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).

وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُوا الشَّيٰطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمٰنَ ۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمٰنُ وَلٰكِنَّ الشَّيٰطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هٰرُوتَ وَمٰرُوتَ ۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ ۖ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِۦ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِۦ ۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَارِّينَ بِهِۦ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا لَمَنِ اشْتَرَىٰهُ مَا لَهُۥ فِى الْءَاخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلٰقٍ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْا بِهِۦ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ۱۰۲
And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allāh. And they [i.e., people] learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of Israel] certainly knew that whoever purchased it [i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

Intention: Presenting to the wrongdoing jinn the truth that magic cannot harm anyone without Allah's permission

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."

O company of jinn and their kings, O servants of magic, O jinn dwelling in houses, and you who have taken refuge in the body through wrongdoing, magic or the evil eye: I impose strict command upon you. I adjure you by the Almighty Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne: in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, leave this body. In the name of the Lord of the worlds, I say: leave! You are impure.

Recite: Several times, with deep faith
Right after this, the source quotes a part of a verse (ayah) from Surah As-Saff, 61:13, which has been added as a separate ref card in the section above.
اعْلَمُوا أَيُّهَا الظَّالِمُونَ، يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ الظَّالِمِينَ، أَنَّكُمْ ظَلَمَةٌ مُعْتَدُونَ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ. لِمَ تَسْكُنُونَ أَجْسَادًا حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ وَلِمَ تُخَرِّبُونَ بُيُوتًا عَمَّرَهَا اللَّهُ بِذِكْرِهِ؟ أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّكُمُ الْمُلُوكَ؟ كَلَّا، إِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ مَأْمُورُونَ، وَسَتَقِفُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْقَهَّارِ. سَيَسْأَلُكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ كُلِّ دَمْعَةٍ ذُرِفَتْ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ مَرَضٍ سَبَّبْتُمُوهُ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ طَلَاقٍ تَسَبَّبْتُمْ فِيهِ. [A portion of the verse (ayah) of Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102: 'وَمَا هُم بِضَارِّينَ بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ' — included on a separate reference card] فَلَا قُوَّةَ لَكُمْ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ. وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِذْنُ اللَّهِ بِتَطْهِيرِ هَذَا الْجَسَدِ، ارْحَلُوا إِلَى بِلَادِ الْجِنِّ، لَا تَبْقَوْا فِي مَسَاكِنِ الْإِنْسَانِ. إِنَّ لَكُمْ مَوْعِدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفُوهُ، يَوْمَ أَنْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: [A portion of the verse (ayah) of Surah Al-An'am 6:128: 'يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُمْ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ' — included on a separate reference card]
Know, O wrongdoers! O oppressive company of jinn! Indeed you are wrongdoers and transgressors, and Allah does not love the wrongdoers. Why do you dwell in a body that Allah has made forbidden, and why do you destroy homes that were flourishing with the dhikr of Allah? Do you think you are the kings? Never! You are only slaves under command, and soon you will have to stand before Allah, the Almighty. Allah will ask you for an account of every tear shed, every illness and every divorce. You have no power except by the will of Allah. The command of Allah to purify this body has come. Go to the land of the jinn; do not remain in the dwellings of human beings. Indeed, a time has been set for you that will not be broken, the day when Allah will say.
Recite: 1 time, in a firm voice
In this long warning, parts of verses (ayat) from two different surahs are quoted verbatim (2:102 and 6:128); as per the rule, both have been added as separate ref cards in the section above. Before publication, it is suggested to check the exact lettering of this long classical Arabic passage once more against the original source image.
اللَّهُمَّ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ، رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ، اخْلُفْ عَلَى هَذَا الْبَيْتِ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَالْمَوَدَّةِ وَأَبْدِلْ مَرَضَهُمْ صِحَّةً، وَتُعْطِيهِمْ فَتْحًا وَتَيْسِيرًا

An expanded form, for protecting the home, of the well-known dua narrated in the hadith (Lord of Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil); these are not the exact words of the hadith
اللَّهُمَّ أَبْطِلْ سِحْرَهُمْ أَيْنَمَا كَانَ كَيْفَمَا كَانَ وَبِأَيِّ نِيَّةٍ كَانَ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَتَمْنَا عَلَى الْجَسَدِ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ حَصَّنَّا الْبَيْتَ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَنَعْنَا الرُّجُوعَ
O Allah! Wherever their magic may be, whatever it may be, and for whatever purpose it was done, nullify all of it. In the name of Allah we have sealed the body, in the name of Allah we have protected the house, in the name of Allah we have stopped their return.
Recite: Several times
اللَّهُمَّ أَبْطِلْ سِحْرًا وَحُلَّ عُقْدًا وَفُكَّ رَبْطًا وَأَخْرِجْ عُيُونًا وَمَسًّا وَحَسَدًا بِحَوْلِكَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا قَدِيرُ
O Allah! By Your might and power, nullify all magic, undo the knots, break the bindings, and remove the evil eye, the influence of the jinn and envy. O Almighty, O All-Powerful!

📌 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, protect my house and body from the jinn, magic and every harm. Undo whatever has created obstacles for me, and restore my provision, my recovery from illness and my tranquillity.
