Ruqyah Protocol
Treatment for Magic Affecting the Feet and the Path of Walking
Ruqyah to Untie Magic Knots and Satanic Bindings in the Feet
✦ ✦ ✦
Raqi Faisal Ahmed Sabit
Al Quranic Ruqyah Healing Center
Introduction — who this protocol is for
This ruqyah is for those who have magic knots, satanic bindings, or long-lasting pain like arthritis, or stiffness in movement, in their feet. Based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah, it will help release the bindings of the feet, in sha Allah.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- Long-lasting pain or heaviness in the feet, with no cause found in medical treatment
- A feeling as if the feet get stuck when trying to walk
- Unusual trembling or tingling in the toes
- A feeling as if hot air is coming out through the soles of the feet
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.

O Allah, whatever knot or binding has been tied on my feet, undo it by Your strength and power, and make my movement easy and normal.
