Ruqyah Shar'i-yah - Possessions, Sihr and the Evil-Eye.

First Step
Preparing the 'State of Mind':
1. It is imperative for a Muslim to have unwavering faith that Allah is the only One Who can alleviate the harm that you experience. Allah tells us:
وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ. وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ. وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
Meaning: He who gives me food and drink; He who cures me when I am ill; He who will cause me to die and bring me back to life.
2. Know that Allah tests everyone of us...the Prophet, may Allah praise him, said: "The most severe in trial (from humankind) are the Prophets and then those who are the closest to them (in terms of the strength of faith) and then who are closest to them.
3. Don't blame others...simply say: 'Alhamdulilah' and look at those who are less fortunate then yourself...look at those who are suffering and then compare your condition to theirs...surely you are better off!

Second Step
Actual Steps:
1. Listen to the Ruqyah Shar'i-yah. You can listen to 10 beautiful recordings at this link:

I personally recommend that you listen to it while you are not preoccupied with anything else. I've found that the most effective time is either after Fajr Salah, after Asr Salah or in the evening. Lay back, relax and simply listen.
If you feel agitated, angry, or that you simply want to get up and shut it down...you are in luck! The Ruqyah is working! Force yourself to listen to it, and Inshallah, even if at first you don't feel good, you will feel very comfortable afterwards.
2. Make sure your place of stay, home and room are clean. It is important for the Prophet, may Allah praise him, said: "الطهور شطر الإيمان" Meaning: "Purification is half of your faith!"
Good, beautiful scents ward Satan away from yourself and your homes; foul odors attract Satan. We seek refgue with Allah.

Third Step
In the Process:
3. Make sure you perform prayers in your home or room. The Prophet, may Alalh praise him, instructed us not to make our homes 'graveyards'. So prayer is very important. Click on this link to access over 300 recitors!

4. Recite Ayatul-Kursi after each Salah and before you go to bed.
5. Recite the Dua of sleeping before you go to sleep.
6. Eat seven dates in the morning before you have breakfast...this will protect you by the will of Allah.
7. Call the Adthan in your home as well as the Iqamah...this will ward away Satan.
8. Wet Cupping (Hijaamah) is proven against Sihr (black magic) etc.
9. Sidr: washing yourself with this leaf is important. In English it is 'Lote leaves' and you can find it online or in certain market places. The powder is green...add it to water and wash yourself with it.
