Introduction — who this protocol is for
This protocol can be used as a steady home ruqyah routine for relief from the effects of sihr/magic in the head or brain, constant waswasa, and Shaytanic whispers. It gives a firm dhikr to be repeated again and again, recited with the intention of destroying the influence of the jinn and Shaytan residing in the head/brain and the whispers coming from there, along with the method for using specially prepared bath water and oil. Remember that ordinary headaches or worries are not always caused by sihr or jinn. If the signs seem clear, keep this routine going consistently, and also continue the complete ruqyah alongside it.
Signs for which this protocol may help
- If you suspect the effect of magic/sihr in the head or brain
- If constant waswasa, restless thoughts, or bad whispers will not leave your head
- If you feel heaviness, pressure, or restlessness in the head without any clear reason
- If you have an unusual problem with forgetfulness or being unable to keep your focus
- If you want to keep up a regular preventive ruqyah routine at 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).
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.
Recite: 3 times
Nothing can cause sudden harm to the one who recites this dua in the morning and evening. (Tirmidhi 3388)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allāh, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Meaning: Surah Al-Faatiha 1:1, Saheeh International.
Recite: 19 times
Before starting the ruqyah, settle your focus and your intention, then recite.

(Muslim 2708)
Dhikr for destroying magic in the head and Shaytanic waswasa
Repeat the following verse portions and the declarative dhikr aloud, with firm belief, again and again — especially at night before sleeping and while preparing the ruqyah water/oil. Alongside this, bathe at least 1 day a week in specially prepared water: mix a little salt into 1 litres of ruqyah water, 10-15 spoonfuls of rose water, 2-3 spoonfuls of recited-over olive oil, and a few ground sidr leaves. Pour it slowly over your head and massage your whole body, then rinse with ordinary water.
فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِـَٔايٰتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنٰهُمْ تَدْمِيرًا ۳۶
And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.
Recite: Repeat as often as you wish
Intention: A dua to Allah for the complete destruction of sihr and Shaytanic power

The spelling 'diman' was printed this way in the source (possibly a printing variation of 'dimag'/brain or 'dima'/blood); it has been kept exactly as is and not changed by guesswork.

📌 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, completely destroy every magic, waswasa, and Shaytanic influence in my head and brain. Fill my thoughts, my memory, and my heart with peace and well-being.
