Due to his limited bandwidth, MCC’s Qari Amar Bellaha no longer provides Rukya services. If you live in the East Bay (MCC’s geographic coverage area), please use our Ask the Imam service for religious questions.
Instead, all Northern California residents, please reach out to Wafa’a Akl, D.P.Sc., at Healing Touch Academy in San Ramon. Book a Rokyah appointment here. Her phone number is (925) 263-6213 or wafaa5575@gmail.com. Sister Wafaa helps both women and men with Rukya. Male clients must be accompanied by a female Mahram (companion).
MCC does not endorse the above practitioners. This is a courtesy community listing only. Please make your own informed decisions based on your research and understanding of your specific needs. In addition to Rukya, we strongly encourage you to also seek mental health counseling with a trained Muslim clinician at our counseling center, Maristan.
Roqyah is a powerful spiritual healing method that Muslims use to address distress and negative energies caused by various sources. It serves as a shield against the Evil Eye and Sihr (black magic), providing defense against dark forces such as evil magicians, jinns, and shayateens. It’s a way to bring healing and relief to those in need.

The term ruqyah refers to the use of the Qur’an and its supplications for healing and protection. It can treat a broad spectrum of problems, including physical, mental, and spiritual issues. The foundations of ruqya consist of reciting the Qur’an and/or its supplications with the premise of seeking assistance from Allah (swt) while simultaneously seeking refuge in Him.
