OTE FOR RAMAN: There's no reason why you can't implement this

programme in Raman, simply drink the mixture at maghrib,

after taraawee, and before fajr, or as close as you can.

- "" This programme is recommended by our Shaykh Adil ibn ahir al-Muqbil (may
Allh protect and preserve him), for all those people who complain of problems
relating to jinn, magic, and the evil eye. The shaykh said that he has used it for
many years with a great deal of success, and it is particularly relevant for those
who are waiting to see a raaqi, or can't get access to one. The shaykh calls it
"The [collection of] Cures" because it is made up of a number of things that we
are told are shifaa' in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah.
A number of people ask: "Where is the proof for this from the Qur'n and the
Sunnah?" We say that - in sh' Allh - there is a proof for each of the points
mentioned as individual cures, but as for doing them as a whole, then this is
something that is from the permissible ijtihaad of the shaykh. This is something
allowed, as evidenced by the following statement of Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allh
have mercy upon him):

"Seeking a cure with the Noble Qurn and Sidr and the likes
are from the permissible medicines and do not fall within the
category of innovation, rather they fall within the category of
medicine. The Prophet said, 'O Slaves of Allh, seek a cure
and do not seek a cure from the harm.' And it is authentically
reported in Sunan Ab Dawood that the Prophet read upon
water in a vessel and poured it over a sick person. From this we
know that seeking a cure by reading over water and honey and
the likes are permissible, and there is nothing wrong with them
from an Islamic point of view, as long as what is read on them is

correct, and the medicine [i.e., water, honey, etc] is something

permissible [to eat/drink]." [Explanation of Fat al-Majeed]
However, this does give us an important benefit, which is that as long as the
programme is not - as a whole - mentioned in the Sunnah, then it is not
necessary for every single part to be carried out without any change. So, if a
diabetic cannot eat honey, they can miss it out, and although we would
recommend doing the programme exactly as mentioned, we hope that there is no
harm in that.
The two most commonly asked questions since I posted this article are:
1.

Can a lady do this programme when she is menstruating? The answer

is that it depends on her need. If she is able to delay the programme until
after the time of menstruation, then perhaps this is better. However, if she
can't wait, then there is no specific reason to prevent her from doing so, and
she should avoid the areas where there is menstrual blood.

2.

Isn't it forbidden to use ruqyah water in the bath? The answer is that
this was the opinion of some of the students of knowledge. We say that there
is no evidence for this prohibition. If ruqyah water had the same ruling as the
Qur'n, it would not be permissible to drink it, or to put it on the body, or to
bathe with it. We asked the shaykh this question, and he confirmed that there
is no reason to treat ruqyah water like the Qur'n.

I have added some small notes from myself, to clarify certain things. These are in
{...}
Before beginning:
1.
2.

Humble yourself before Allah

Make duaa at the times when your duaa is accepted, like the time
between the adhaan and the iqaamah, the last third of the night, between
'Asr and Maghrib on a Friday (because the Prophet - may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him - said, "Indeed on the day of Jumu'ah there is

a period of time, no believing servant encounters it, asking Allah for the good
of this world and the next, except that he is given it."), and so on.
{See:http://duas.com/tips.php}
You need to have the following things ready:
1.

Water {I estimate you'll need 3-5 litres per person approximately} - ideally
Zam Zam, because of the hadeeth "A food that satisfies and a cure from
sickness", and the hadeeth "The water of Zam Zam is for whatever it is drunk
for." If Zam Zam is not available, then rain water should be collected,
because Allah said, "And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and
made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest" 50:9, and because
the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to
uncover part of his garment when it rained, and he would say, "It has just
come from its Lord." If rain water is not available, then regular water is fine,
but effort should be made to obtain rain water where Zam Zam is not
available. {Please do not delay the programme excessively waiting for
Zam Zam or rain water - you can always add it later in shaa' Allah}

2.

Olive Oil {One whole bottle per person should be enough} - {this should be
organic Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil - in other words, it should be
greenish in colour, not yellow like vegetable oil. I recommend organic
Palestinian extra virgin olive oil, if you can get it, because it comes from a
land that Allh tells us is blessed}. This is because Allah describes it as "lit
from [the oil of] a blessed tree - the olive" 24:35, and the Prophet (may the
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Eat olive oil and oil
yourselves with it, for it is from a blessed tree."

3.

Honey {this should be raw & organic, and of good quality...not supermarket
junk! You can get Sidr honey, also Manuka honey is well spoken of}. Allah
said, "There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which
there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give
thought." 16:69 and the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) said, There is a cure in three substances, a drink of
honey" [al-Bukhari]. The shaykh emphasised that a lot of people make a

mistake in that they do not drink the honey, but they eat it, and the hadeeth is
clear that the cure is in drinking it diluted in water.
4.

Black Seeds {again this should be organic - the scientific name is Nigella
Sativa}. This is because the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him) said, "It is a cure from every illness" [Bukhari and Muslim].

At the beginning of the week, you need to do the following:

1.

Sit down with the water and olive oil open in front of you. Read the
following:
(a) al-Faatihah - seven times is best, or three if you wish, because the
Prophet approved of doing so. (b) al-Baqarah - once all the way through (If
you are unable to read al-Baqarah, then read whatever is easy for you, or ask
someone to read for you, if you struggle to read the Qur'an). (c) The last
three surahs of the Qur'an: al-Ikhlaa, al-Falaq, and an-Naas - three
times each. (d) Aayat-ul-Kursi 2:255 - seven times is best, or three if you
wish.

2.

Blow {as though you are spitting but without spittle}, either at the end of
each srah, or after each aayah, or whenever it is easy for you, into the water
and the olive oil {You can use smaller bottles and blow in each from time to
time, or in all of them after each aayah or each srah, it's up to you. Perhaps
it would be even more beneficial to read 2 litres at a time during the week, to
get the most out of the reading}. When you have completed all of the reading,
you are now prepared to begin the programme.

How to use:
1.

Take two tablespoons of honey and dissolve them in a cup of the water that
you have read upon. Add seven seeds of black seed and drink. Do this three
times per day.

2.

Before sleep, anoint the entire body from head to foot with the olive oil that
has been read upon.

3.

Upon waking, wash the entire body with water and soap. Then, take half a
cup of the water that has been read upon and add it to a bucket or other
container. Fill up the bucket with water from the tap and wash the entire body.

Continue this for three whole days

On day 4-7:
1.

Use olive oil that has been read upon to anoint any areas where pain is
found, if any.

2.

Take two tablespoons of honey and dissolve them in a cup of the water that
you have read upon. Add seven seeds of black seed and drink. Do this three
times per day.

What to Expect:
1.

On the first day, you will most likely not feel anything.

2.

On the second and third day, you may feel very ill. You may feel excessive
tiredness, pain all over the body, or in certain places, or aches and pains as
though you carried out strenuous exercise.

3.

By the fourth day, you may feel completely refreshed, as though you have a
lot of energy - with the permission of Allah.

4.

The aches and pains will gradually go away, in shaa' Allah, over the course
of the 7 days.

5.

{If the patient does not feel better, or the 7 day programme has resulted in
a worsening of symptoms, then we advise to move on to the full ruqyah
programme, of which the 7 day programme is repeated 1-2 times a month, in
addition to other ruqyah.}
