Ruqyah: Spiritual Healing

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 utilize our Ask the Imam service if you have a religious question.

Instead, for all Northern California residents, please reach out to Wafa’a Akl D. PSc at Healing Touch Academy in San Ramon. Her phone number is (925) 263-6213 or wafaa5575@gmail.com. Sister Wafaa helps both women and men with Rukya. Men 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 Muslims use to tackle distress and negative energies caused by different 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.

  • For Southern California residents, please reach out to Shaykh Khalil in San Diego at (619) 372-3828.
  • For non-Bay Area residents, please get in touch with Moulana Azeez Ahmad at the Academy of Islamic Education in Dundee, Illinois, at (630) 965-9635 or the Fitrah Centre for virtual assistance.

The term ruqyah refers to using the Qur’an and its supplications as a method of 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.

For self-rukyah, recite three times a day in a water bottle:

  1. Surah Al Fatiah (7 times)
  2. Ayat Qursi (3 times)
  3. Sural Ikhlas (3 times)
  4. Surah Falaq (3 times)
  5. Surah Al Nass (3 times)

Then, drink water, wash your face, and wipe your head with water. Detailed instructions at https://mcceastbay.org/self-ruqya
