Powerful Ruqyah Against Evil Eye – Protection and Healing Guide

If you’ve ever felt suddenly drained, anxious for no clear reason, or watched things in your life fall apart just when they were going well, you might have wondered: “Is this the evil eye?”

In Islam, the evil eye (al-‘ayn) is real. The Prophet ﷺ told us that it can cause real harm – but he also showed us powerful ways to protect ourselves and heal from it. One of the strongest tools we have is ruqyah.

In this guide, we’ll walk through what ruqyah is, how to use ruqyah against evil eye, and simple, practical steps you can start using today for protection and healing.

What Is Ruqyah in Islam?

Ruqyah is a form of Islamic spiritual healing using:

Qur’an

Authentic duas (supplications) from the Sunnah

Remembrance of Allah (dhikr)

It’s not magic, and it’s not a secret ritual. Ruqyah is basically you turning to Allah for help with specific words that He and His Messenger ﷺ taught us.

There are two main types:

Ruqyah Shariyyah – based on Qur’an and authentic duas. This is permissible and recommended.

Ruqyah with unknown words, charms, or calling on anyone besides Allah – this is forbidden.

When we talk about ruqyah against evil eye, we’re talking about the first type – pure, Quranic, Sunnah-based ruqyah.

What Is the Evil Eye (Al-‘Ayn)?

The evil eye is harm caused when someone looks at another person or their blessings with envy, jealousy, or even excessive admiration, sometimes without even meaning to.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The evil eye is real…”
(Reported in Bukhari and Muslim)

The harm can affect:

Your health (sudden sickness, weakness, headaches)

Your mood (sadness, anxiety without clear reason)

Your wealth or work (constant blockages, sudden failures)

Your family and relationships (sudden arguments, distance, tension)

Of course, not every problem is the evil eye. Sometimes it’s a test, sometimes it’s our own choices. But when problems appear suddenly, repeatedly, and without clear cause, many scholars say it’s wise to consider evil eye and use ruqyah.

Signs You May Be Affected by Evil Eye

Only Allah knows for sure, and you should not obsess over symptoms. But some common signs mentioned by scholars and experience include:

Sudden fatigue or laziness, even after resting

Abrupt change in mood – sadness, irritation, or fear without reason

Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy

Constant headaches or body pains with no medical reason

Repeated bad luck – projects always fail at the last moment

Feeling heavy during worship – like you’re being “pushed away”

If you notice these signs, you can:

Turn to Allah with dua

Do ruqyah on yourself regularly

Still consult doctors and professionals when needed

Ruqyah does not replace medicine. Islam teaches us to use both spiritual and physical means.

How to Do Ruqyah Against Evil Eye (Step by Step)

You don’t always need to go to someone else. You can perform ruqyah on yourself, your children, and your home.

Here’s a simple, practical step-by-step guide:

1. Renew Your Intention

Start by turning your heart to Allah.

Intend that you are doing ruqyah seeking Allah’s cure and protection

Believe that only Allah can truly heal you

Even a simple thought like:
“O Allah, I’m doing this ruqyah to seek Your protection from the evil eye.”

—

2. Be in a State of Wudu (if possible)

It’s recommended (but not required) to be in wudu. Sit in a calm, clean place if you can.

3. Recite These Powerful Qur’anic Verses

You can recite out loud for yourself, or over your children or loved ones.

a) Surah Al-Fatihah
Recite it 3 or 7 times. It is a powerful surah of healing.

b) Ayat al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255)
Known for strong protection. Recite it once or multiple times.

c) Last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:285–286)
The Prophet ﷺ said whoever recites them at night, they are sufficient for him.

d) Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas (the 3 Quls)
Recite each 3 times. These are the main surahs used for ruqyah against evil eye, magic, and jinn.

After reciting, you can:

Blow lightly into your hands and wipe over your body, face, head, chest, and wherever you feel pain.

4. Use Authentic Ruqyah Duas

Here are some powerful duas used by the Prophet ﷺ:

1. General protection dua:
“A‘ūdhu bi kalimātillāhi-t-tāmmāti min sharri mā khalaq.”
Meaning:
“I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.”

You can say this:

In the evening and morning

When entering a place

When you feel fear or anxiety

2. Dua for healing and evil eye:
“Bismillāh urqīka, min kulli shay’in yu’dhīka, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin ḥāsid, Allāhu yashfīka, bismillāh urqīka.”

Meaning:
“In the Name of Allah, I perform ruqyah for you, from everything that harms you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May Allah cure you. In the Name of Allah, I perform ruqyah for you.”

You can recite this:

Over yourself

Over your children

Over someone you are doing ruqyah for

—

5. Ruqyah Water (Optional but Beneficial)

Many scholars mention using Quranic ruqyah water:

Take clean water in a glass or bottle

Recite over it: Al-Fatihah, Ayat al-Kursi, 3 Quls, and any other ruqyah verses

Blow lightly into the water after reciting

You can then:

Drink from it regularly

Use it to lightly wipe your face and body

This is a physical way to connect to the spiritual cure from Qur’an.

Daily Protection: Ruqyah Against Evil Eye Before It Strikes

Instead of waiting until you feel weak or harmed, try to make ruqyah and protection a daily habit.

Here are some simple daily practices:

Morning and Evening Adhkar – take 5–10 minutes after Fajr and Asr/Maghrib

Recite the 3 Quls (Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) 3 times each in the morning and evening

Recite Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer and before sleeping

Say “Mā shā’ Allāh, lā quwwata illā billāh” when you see something you like – in yourself or others

The Prophet ﷺ used to make ruqyah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (his grandsons) with these words:

“U‘īdhukumā bi kalimātillāhi-t-tāmmati min kulli shayṭānin wa hāmmatin wa min kulli ‘aynin lāmmah.”

You can say this for your children as well.

Important Do’s and Don’ts of Ruqyah Against Evil Eye

What You Should Do

Trust Allah fully – ruqyah works by His will

Be patient and consistent – do ruqyah regularly, not just once

Live a halal lifestyle – avoid major sins, as they weaken your protection

Pray your five daily prayers on time

Keep your home filled with Qur’an and dhikr

What You Must Avoid

Going to magicians, fortune tellers, or anyone using jinn

Wearing amulets or taweez with unknown words, symbols, or calling on other than Allah

Paying huge sums to “healers” who promise miracles

Blaming every problem on the evil eye

If a person claims they can remove the evil eye but:

They ask for your mother’s name

They give strange objects, symbols, or unreadable writings

They tell you to stop praying or use haram acts

Then this is not Islamic ruqyah. It is dangerous and must be avoided.

Personal Reflection: Living With Protection

Many people only think about ruqyah when things get very bad. But imagine if protection was part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth or locking your door at night.

Even something as simple as:

Reciting Ayat al-Kursi before bed

Reading the 3 Quls over your kids

Saying your morning and evening adhkar while commuting or cooking

…can build a powerful shield around you and your family, by Allah’s permission.

Ruqyah against evil eye is not just about “fixing” problems. It’s about:

Strengthening your faith

Keeping your heart connected to Allah

Living with calmness and trust in Him

—

When to Seek Extra Help

You can and should start with self-ruqyah. But in some cases, it may help to:

Consult a trustworthy, knowledgeable ruqyah practitioner who follows Qur’an and Sunnah

Visit a doctor or therapist if there are emotional or physical symptoms

Islam encourages using both spiritual and medical treatments together.

—

Final Reminder

The evil eye is real, but Allah’s protection is stronger.

If you:

Turn to Allah with sincere heart

Use ruqyah regularly

Keep your life as halal and clean as possible

…then whatever harm people intend will only reach you if Allah wills it – and even then, it can become a means of raising your rank and wiping away your sins.

May Allah protect you and your family from every evil eye, jealousy, and hidden harm, and grant you complete healing and peace.
