Ruqyah is an Islamic practice of healing and protection using verses from the Holy Qur’an. One of the simplest yet most effective ways is Ruqyah with Water, where selected Surahs are recited over clean water, then drunk or used for washing. This practice, rooted in the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, brings both spiritual and physical relief.
In this guide, you’ll learn the step-by-step process, recommended Surahs, and how you can benefit from Ruqyah with Water in daily life.
🥛 Step 1: Prepare Clean Water
Start with clean, clear water in a glass, jug, or basin. Cold or fresh water is preferable as it feels more refreshing when consumed or used for washing later.
🕌 Step 2: Recite Qur’an Over the Water
Here are the main Surahs commonly used for Ruqyah, as practiced by the Prophet ﷺ and the Sahabah:
-
Surah Al-Fātiḥah (1:1–7)
- “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds…”
-
Āyatul Kursī – Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255
- “Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him…”
-
Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ (112:1–4)
- “Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge…”
-
Surah Al-Falaq (113:1–5)
- “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of what He created…”
-
Surah An-Nās (114:1–6)
- “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind…”
While reciting, bring your mouth close to the water and blow gently into it. This was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ in various forms of Ruqyah.
🌬 Step 3: Blow Over the Water
After reciting the Surahs, blow lightly into the water and sincerely supplicate to Allah for healing, relief, and protection. The intention is crucial—believing that ultimate cure comes only from Allah.
🥛 Step 4: Drink and Wash
- Drink part of the water to cleanse from within.
- Wash or bathe with the remaining water, especially if experiencing illness, heaviness, or negative feelings.
📖 Hadith Reference: The Companions once used Surah Al-Fātiḥah as Ruqyah for a sick man, and the Prophet ﷺ approved and praised it. (Sahih Bukhari 5736)
