Healing & Comfort Through Quran

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

“And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers.” — 17:82

The Quran calls itself shifa (شِفَاء) — a healing. Not just for the body, but for the heart, the mind, and the soul. When life weighs heavy, when anxiety grips your chest, when grief clouds your vision — these are the verses that bring light back. Curated with care for those who need comfort.

These verses provide spiritual comfort and are not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or crisis helpline in your area.

Anxiety & Worry

القَلَق والهَمّ

When your heart is restless, let the Quran bring it peace

QuranQuran 13:28

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

Alladhina amanu wa tatma-innu qulubuhum bi dhikrillah. Ala bi dhikrillahi tatma-innul qulub.

“Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”

When to recite: When anxiety overwhelms you, pause and remember Allah. Dhikr is not just words — it is reconnecting your heart to the One who controls all things.

QuranQuran 94:5-6

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٥﴾ إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

Fa inna ma'al 'usri yusra. Inna ma'al 'usri yusra.

“For indeed, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease.”

When to recite: Allah repeats this promise twice for emphasis. The ease is not after the hardship — it is with it. Even in your darkest moment, relief is already present.

QuranQuran 2:286

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ

La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha. Laha ma kasabat wa 'alayha maktasabat.

“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns.”

When to recite: If you are going through it, it means Allah knows you can handle it. He did not give you this test to break you — He gave it to elevate you.

QuranQuran 65:2-3

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا ﴿٢﴾ وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ

Wa man yattaqillaha yaj'al lahu makhraja. Wa yarzuqhu min haythu la yahtasib. Wa man yatawakkal 'alallahi fahuwa hasbuh.

“And whoever fears Allah — He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah — then He is sufficient for him.”

When to recite: Recite this when you feel trapped with no way out. Allah promises a way out for those who are conscious of Him — even from situations that seem impossible.

QuranQuran 39:53

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Qul ya 'ibadiyalladhina asrafu 'ala anfusihim la taqnatu min rahmatillah. Innallaha yaghfirudh-dhunuba jami'a. Innahu huwal Ghafurur Rahim.

“Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."”

When to recite: This is called the most hopeful verse in the Quran. No matter what you have done, Allah's mercy is greater. Never let guilt become despair.

QuranQuran 3:173

الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

Alladhina qala lahumun-nasu innan-nasa qad jama'u lakum fakhshawhum fazadahum imanan wa qalu hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil.

“Those to whom the people said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs."”

When to recite: When the whole world seems against you, say "Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil." The Prophet and his companions said this in the most terrifying moment — and Allah protected them.

Grief & Loss

الحُزْن والفَقْد

For hearts that ache and eyes that weep

QuranQuran 2:156

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Alladhina idha asabathum musibatun qalu inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

“Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."”

When to recite: This is the phrase of the believer in every loss. It means: we came from Allah, everything we have is His, and we are all returning to Him. This truth makes every loss bearable.

QuranQuran 93:3-5

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ﴿٣﴾ وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ ﴿٤﴾ وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

Ma wadda'aka rabbuka wa ma qala. Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka minal ula. Wa lasawfa yu'tika rabbuka fatarda.

“Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased. And the Hereafter is better for you than the first life. And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.”

When to recite: When you feel abandoned in your grief, Allah is speaking directly to you: He has NOT left you. Better things are coming — in this life and the next. You will be satisfied.

QuranQuran 12:86

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Qala innama ashku baththi wa huzni ilallahi wa a'lamu minallahi ma la ta'lamun.

“He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know."”

When to recite: Prophet Yaqub cried for years over losing his son Yusuf, yet he never complained to people — only to Allah. Pour your heart out in sajdah. Allah hears every tear.

QuranQuran 3:185

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۖ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ

Kullu nafsin dha-iqatul mawt. Wa innama tuwaffawna ujurakum yawmal qiyamah. Faman zuhziha 'anin-nari wa udkhilal jannata faqad faz.

“Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So whoever is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has truly succeeded.”

When to recite: Death is not the end — it is a return. If your loved one was a believer, they are in a better place. Focus on reunion in Jannah, not just separation in dunya.

QuranQuran 21:83-84

وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿٨٣﴾ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِ مِن ضُرٍّ

Wa Ayyuba idh nada rabbahu anni massaniyad-durru wa anta arhamur-rahimin. Fastajabna lahu fakashafna ma bihi min durr.

“And [mention] Ayyub, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful." So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity.”

When to recite: Prophet Ayyub lost his health, wealth, and children — yet he turned to Allah with beautiful patience. And Allah restored everything. Your test, too, has an expiration date.

Fear & Insecurity

الخَوْف وعَدَم الأمَان

When the world frightens you, find refuge in your Creator

QuranQuran 3:139

وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Wa la tahinu wa la tahzanu wa antumul a'lawna in kuntum mu'minin.

“So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.”

When to recite: Allah commands the believers: do not be weak, do not be sad. Your faith makes you strong. Hold your head high — Allah is with you.

QuranQuran 41:30

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ

Innalladhina qalu rabbunallahu thummas-taqamu tatanazzalu 'alayhimul mala-ikatu alla takhafu wa la tahzanu wa abshiru bil-jannatillati kuntum tu'adun.

“Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah" and then remained steadfast — the angels will descend upon them [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve, but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised."”

When to recite: The angels themselves come to comfort the believers. If you say "Allah is my Lord" and live by it, you have nothing to fear — not in this life, not in death, not on the Day of Judgment.

QuranQuran 9:51

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Qul lan yusibana illa ma kataballahu lana huwa mawlana. Wa 'alallahi falyatawakkalil mu'minun.

“Say, "Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector." And upon Allah let the believers rely.”

When to recite: Nothing reaches you except what was already written for you. This knowledge should dissolve every fear — because your Protector is the King of all kings.

QuranQuran 8:46

وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ ۖ وَاصْبِرُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

Wa ati'ullaha wa rasulahu wa la tanaza'u fatafshhalu wa tadhhaba rihukum wasbiru. Innallaha ma'as-sabirin.

“And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and thus lose courage and your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”

When to recite: Fear often comes when we feel alone in our struggles. But Allah is with those who are patient. You are never truly alone.

QuranQuran 2:286

رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ

Rabbana la tu-akhidhna in nasina aw akhta'na. Rabbana wa la tahmil 'alayna isran kama hamaltahu 'alalladhina min qablina. Rabbana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih.

“Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear.”

When to recite: This is one of the most powerful duas in the Quran. When you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, make this dua and trust that Allah will lighten your burden.

Loneliness & Sadness

الوَحْدة والحُزْن

You are never alone — Allah is closer than your jugular vein

QuranQuran 2:186

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ

Wa idha sa-alaka 'ibadi 'anni fa-inni qarib. Ujibu da'watad-da'i idha da'an.

“And when My servants ask you concerning Me — indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”

When to recite: Notice how Allah says "I am near" — not "I will be near." He is always close, always listening. You are never alone when you have a Lord who responds to every call.

QuranQuran 50:16

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ

Wa laqad khalaqnal insana wa na'lamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuh. Wa nahnu aqrabu ilayhi min hablil warid.

“And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than his jugular vein.”

When to recite: Allah knows every thought you have, every pain you hide, every tear you shed in silence. He is closer to you than your own self. How can you ever be truly alone?

QuranQuran 93:1-5

وَالضُّحَىٰ ﴿١﴾ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ﴿٢﴾ مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ﴿٣﴾ وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ ﴿٤﴾ وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

Wad-duha. Wal-layli idha saja. Ma wadda'aka rabbuka wa ma qala. Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka minal ula. Wa lasawfa yu'tika rabbuka fatarda.

“By the morning brightness. And by the night when it covers with darkness. Your Lord has not taken leave of you, nor has He detested you. And the Hereafter is better for you than the first life. And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.”

When to recite: This surah was revealed when the Prophet felt alone and abandoned. Allah comforted him with these tender words. If you feel forgotten, read this surah — it is Allah speaking to your heart.

QuranQuran 20:46

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَا ۖ إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَا أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ

Qala la takhafa innani ma'akuma asma'u wa ara.

“He [Allah] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see."”

When to recite: Allah said this to Musa and Harun when they were about to face the most powerful tyrant on earth. If Allah is with you, who can be against you?

QuranQuran 29:69

وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Walladhina jahadu fina lanahdiyannahum subulana. Wa innallaha lama'al muhsinin.

“And those who strive for Us — We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.”

When to recite: When you feel lost and alone, strive toward Allah — even with small steps. He promises to guide you and be with you. The path to Him is never empty.

Hope & Mercy

الرَّجاء والرَّحْمة

Allah's mercy encompasses everything — including you

QuranQuran 39:53

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا

Qul ya 'ibadiyalladhina asrafu 'ala anfusihim la taqnatu min rahmatillah. Innallaha yaghfirudh-dhunuba jami'a.

“Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins."”

When to recite: No matter how far you have strayed, Allah's mercy is always greater. This verse is a lifeline — grab onto it and never let go.

QuranQuran 12:87

يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ

Ya baniyya idh-habu fatahassasu min Yusufa wa akhihi wa la tay-asu min rawhillah. Innahu la yay-asu min rawhillahi illal qawmul kafirun.

“O my sons, go and find out about Yusuf and his brother, and despair not of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of the mercy of Allah except the disbelieving people.”

When to recite: Yaqub said this after decades of separation from his son. He never gave up hope. If you are waiting for something — a cure, a du'a to be answered, a hardship to end — never lose hope in Allah.

QuranQuran 2:214

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلِكُم ۖ مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَاءُ وَالضَّرَّاءُ وَزُلْزِلُوا حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَىٰ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ

Am hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lamma ya'tikum mathalulladhina khalaw min qablikum. Massathumul ba'sa-u wad-darra-u wa zulzilu hatta yaqular-rasulu walladhina amanu ma'ahu mata nasrullah. Ala inna nasrallahi qarib.

“Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until the messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.”

When to recite: Even the Prophets asked "When will Allah's help come?" And the answer is always the same: it is near. Your breakthrough may be one dua away.

QuranQuran 65:7

سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا

Sayaj'alullahu ba'da 'usrin yusra.

“Allah will bring about, after hardship, ease.”

When to recite: Short, powerful, and absolute. This is a divine promise. After every winter comes spring. After every night comes dawn. After every hardship comes ease.

QuranQuran 7:156

وَرَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ

Wa rahmati wasi'at kulla shay'.

“And My mercy encompasses all things.”

When to recite: Allah's mercy is not limited — it encompasses everything. You, your problems, your past, your future — all of it is wrapped in His mercy. Trust in that.

QuranQuran 3:139

وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Wa la tahinu wa la tahzanu wa antumul a'lawna in kuntum mu'minin.

“So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are true believers.”

When to recite: Faith is not just a label — it is a source of strength. When you truly believe, you rise above every hardship because you know Who is in control.

Ruqyah Verses

آيَات الرُّقْيَة والشِّفَاء

The Prophet's prescribed verses for protection and spiritual healing

QuranQuran 1:1-7 (Al-Fatiha)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿١﴾ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٢﴾ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿٣﴾ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴿٤﴾ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ﴿٥﴾ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿٦﴾ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil 'alamin. Ar-Rahmanir Rahim. Maliki yawmid-din. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas-siratal mustaqim. Siratalladhina an'amta 'alayhim ghayril maghdubi 'alayhim wa lad-dallin.

“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned anger or of those who are astray.”

When to recite: The Prophet called Al-Fatiha "the greatest surah in the Quran" and "a cure for every disease." Recite it with conviction over yourself or the sick. A companion used it to cure a scorpion sting.

QuranQuran 2:255 (Ayat al-Kursi)

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum. La ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. Man dhalladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi-idhnih. Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuhituna bi shay-in min 'ilmihi illa bima sha'. Wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard. Wa la ya-uduhu hifdhuhuma. Wa Huwal-'Aliyyul-'Adhim.

“Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.”

When to recite: The greatest verse in the Quran. The Prophet said: whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents them from entering Paradise except death. Recite it before sleep for protection through the night.

QuranQuran 2:285-286 (Last 2 ayahs of Al-Baqarah)

آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿٢٨٥﴾ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Amanar-Rasulu bima unzila ilayhi min Rabbihi wal-mu'minun. Kullun amana billahi wa mala-ikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulih. La nufarriqu bayna ahadin min rusulih. Wa qalu sami'na wa ata'na ghufranaka Rabbana wa ilaykal masir. La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha. Laha ma kasabat wa 'alayha maktasabat. Rabbana la tu-akhidhna in nasina aw akhta'na.

Anta Mawlana fansurna 'alal-qawmil kafirin.

“The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, saying, "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final destination." Allah does not charge a soul except with that within its capacity. It will have what it has gained, and it will bear what it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we forget or err. Our Lord, lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."”

When to recite: The Prophet said: "Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him." Recite them every night before sleep for protection.

QuranQuran 17:82

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

Wa nunazzilu minal Qur'ani ma huwa shifa-un wa rahmatun lil-mu'minin. Wa la yazidudh-dhalimina illa khasara.

“And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.”

When to recite: The Quran itself is the cure. Not just for spiritual diseases, but for the heart, the mind, and the soul. Approach it with faith and it will heal you.

QuranQuran 113:1-5 (Al-Falaq)

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ﴿١﴾ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ﴿٢﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ﴿٣﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ﴿٤﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

Qul a'udhu bi Rabbil-falaq. Min sharri ma khalaq. Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-'uqad. Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.

“Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak. From the evil of that which He created. And from the evil of darkness when it settles. And from the evil of the blowers in knots. And from the evil of an envier when he envies."”

When to recite: One of the two surahs the Prophet would recite and blow over himself every night before sleep. He also instructed us to recite them after every prayer. They are a shield from all forms of evil.

QuranQuran 114:1-6 (An-Nas)

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ﴿١﴾ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ ﴿٢﴾ إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ ﴿٣﴾ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ ﴿٤﴾ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ ﴿٥﴾ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ

Qul a'udhu bi Rabbin-nas. Malikin-nas. Ilahin-nas. Min sharril-waswasil-khannas. Alladhi yuwaswisu fi sudurin-nas. Minal-jinnati wan-nas.

“Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind. From the evil of the retreating whisperer. Who whispers in the breasts of mankind. From among the jinn and mankind."”

When to recite: The whisperer (waswas) is the source of anxiety, doubt, and despair. This surah is your weapon against it. When intrusive thoughts attack, recite An-Nas and seek refuge in Allah.

How to Practice Ruqyah at Home

Ruqyah is the practice of reciting Quran and authentic supplications for protection and healing. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) practiced it regularly and encouraged his companions to do the same.

Steps for Self-Ruqyah:

  • 1.Make wudu (ablution) and sit in a clean, quiet place
  • 2.Begin with sincere intention and trust in Allah alone as the Healer
  • 3.Recite Surah Al-Fatiha (3 or 7 times), Ayat al-Kursi, the last 2 verses of Al-Baqarah, and the 3 Quls (Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas)
  • 4.Blow gently into your palms after reciting and wipe over your body, starting with the face
  • 5.You may also recite over water and drink it, or recite over olive oil and apply it — both are from the Sunnah
  • 6.Be consistent — ruqyah is most effective when practiced daily with full conviction

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ جَمَعَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ نَفَثَ فِيهِمَا فَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ

“The Prophet, when he went to bed every night, would cup his hands together, blow into them, and recite Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas, then wipe over as much of his body as he could.”
