Ruqya, one of the mind-body interventions among complementary and alternative medicine therapies, refers to the healing method based on the Quran and Hadith through the recitation of the Quran, seeking refuge, remembrance, and dua (supplication) that is used as a means of treating sicknesses and physical spiritual ailments (such as Black magic, Evil eye and Jinn issues), by reading Ayaats of the Quran, the names and attributes of Allah, and Duas from Ahaadith. 

Ruqya is usually used to improve emotional and physical well- being, relax, cope with the disease, strengthen the immune system, increase vitality, decrease pain and stress, treat diseases, accelerate the healing process, increase the duration of life, improve sleep quality, reduce side effects associated with treatments and to be self-sufficient, all by the will and permission of Allah SWT. 

The Quran offers perfect solace to a believer- both spiritually and physically. Ruqya should therefore play an essential role in our lives. Allah SWT says, '' ... And We send down in the Quran that which is a cure and mercy for the believers''. (17:81-2)
As well as providing a cure, Ruqya is an excellent way for the believers to build their Iman and reaffirm their tawhid for Allah SWT. Indeed, seeking treatment through the Quran demonstrates complete belief in the Book of Allah. 


Hadhrat Aisha (RA) said, '' When the Messenger of Allah was ill, Jibril performed Ruqya on him (PBUH)''. (Muslim)  
She (RA) also narrated that whenever the Messenger of Allah would become sick, he would recite (the last 3 surahs of the Quran) and then blow over his body. She says, ''During his last illness from which he passed away, the messenger of Allah used to blow over himself. But when his sickness intensified, I used to (recite and then) blow over him using his own hands because of their blessings.'' (Bukhari)
In another hadith, Hadhrat Aisha (RA) mentions that whenever anyone from his family would become ill, he would blow over them with these Surahs. (Muslim)
