Do's & Don'ts

The guidance to hold to throughout your Ruqyah treatment.

The Do's

Stay in a constant state of wudu as much as possible throughout the day.
Sleep fully clothed in modest, tight-fitting clothing.
Look down or fix your gaze during facial/mouth trembling; keep reciting internally in your heart if your tongue locks up.
Force yourself to socialize and smile with family and spend time with your spouse.
Purify the home — remove images, statues and music, keep no dogs indoors, and play Al-Baqarah every third day so the house stops attracting jinn and expels any jinn.
Say “Masha'Allah, la quwwata illa billah” when you admire anything, and avoid displaying your blessings.
Hide your blessings — keep plans, provision and good news private, and seek help in fulfilling needs through discretion.

Don't look into mirrors for long periods, especially while undressed or at night.
Don't sit alone in dark rooms or linger in the bathroom after finishing your needs.
Don't allow images of living beings or musical instruments exposed in your bedroom — they keep angels from entering.
Don't panic when the pain moves or changes (e.g. legs to chest). It is a sign of the jinn's desperation and displacement, not its victory.
Don't give up on a remedy if it causes immediate discomfort or nausea — that reaction proves the remedy is burning the affliction.
