Ruqyah - Healing from the Quran and Sunnah: Towards building new neural paths
"And We sent down in the Qur'an that which is healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss". (Qur'an 17:82)
Lets talk about Ruqyah - matters relating to spiritual healing. Ruqyah is commonly translated in English as "incantation" which carries a negative meaning, since the word incantation is usually associated with magic, spells, and witchcraft. However, Ruqyah in Islam is the recitation of Qur'an, seeking of refuge, remembrance and supplications that are used as a means of treating sicknesses and other problems). Muslim psychologists integrate ruqyah in their psychological intervention and usually act as homework for their clients to practice. In my own practice as a psychologist I adopt and integrate this intervention with my muslim clients.
Ruqyah intervention could help in building new neural paths. Allow me to explain.
Imagine renting a cabin on a lake. The first time you walk from the cabin door to the fishing dock, you have to fight your way through chest high grass and weeds. What a mess! But as you return from the dock to the cabin, it's a bit easier - you've stomped down a bit of a path. By the end of the week, after walking back and forth a few dozen times a day, you've got a nice, wide thoroughfare from cabin to dock.
Neural paths work much the same way. The more you use them, the stronger, wider they could be. These pathways follow a perceive - process - output formula. For example perception ('No one will ever love me again') - process ("i cant do this, it is not fair, why should i suffer') - output (feel sad, hopelessness, helplessness, angry etc). Although most neural paths follow this perceive-process-output formula, there are few variations on the basic theme. Of these variations, the most important are what we might call hardwired or automatic paths. This hardwired response is created by a particular part of your nervous system which elicits fight-flight response (in which you are strengthening as well). But there is another aspect of our nervous system i.e., the parasympathetic nervous system which we always neglected i.e., relax and release response (R&R). This R&R like fight and flight response is hardwired into our brain. At some point – after the crisis is over, "after the saber-toothed tiger has been fought off" – your parasympathetic nervous system will kick in, to undo the flight-or-fight response. Blood will return to your extremeties, digestion will start up again, your pulse rate will come back to normal. This is where I'm heading to. To make use of the ruqyah to speed up the R&R process and further to enable your body to quickly switch to R&R whenever it’s needed. Memorizing the verses from quran and the do'a as taught by the prophet could help ready your body on on fight-flight mode but rather on the R&R mode. At any time, Insya Allah you're moving yourself a step closer to R&R response.
Below you can find some prayers and verses that we can memorize or read, or listen to for protection, healing and cure, Insya ALLAH.
Practical way of Ruqyah:
- In order to achieve effectiveness of this Ruqyah try to read these verses and prayers in an
audible voice, making sure you recite them in a good and beautiful way.
-while reading these verses and prayers, put in front of you a glass of water (to read them onto it). After you have finished, you may either drink the water or apply it on your tensed, or sored body parts. You may also put some of this water on your face, or on your chest. Try to relax and allow yourself feel a kind of reassurance, peace and godliness while doing this. You may read it on olive oil, melted honey, in plain water or Zamzam water.
- You must also have conviction that the ruqyah is going to benefit you, it will affect your body cells and improve your immune system. Be confident that you will recover sooner or later (if you’re sick). This Ruqyah could be a treatment for many unknown psychological diseases you may have not been aware of, but ALLAH will protect you, Insya ALLAH
- You may use this Ruqyah while you are on bed, sitting, standing, driving your car, or in any other conditions, as long as you are focusing on the verses, the verses' meanings, visualizing that your body is recovering, your psychological state is improving, disease has vanished and that you are active and full of energy. It is an important step which accelerates your recovery Insya Allah.
Non- Arabic speakers can use the English text only for supplication
but not for healing.
Here below you find the simple Ruqyah:

1. Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allah
(Alone) knows their meanings.]
2. This is the Book (the Qur'an), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-
Muttaqûn [the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism who fear Allah much (abstain from all
kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds
of good deeds which He has ordained)].
3. Who believe in the Ghaib and perform As-Salâh (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and spend out of what

بِسْمِ اللَّھِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِیمِ
اللَّھُ لَا إِلَھَ إِلَّا ھُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَیُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَھُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي
یَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِھِ یَعْلَمُ مَا بَیْنَ أَیْدِیھِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَھُمْ وَلَا یُحِیطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِھِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ

Allah! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum
(the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). Neither slumber nor
sleep overtakes Him.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.Who is He that
can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His
creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never
compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî extends over the
heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is
the Most High, the Most Great.

.( فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِینَ( ٢٨٦
285. The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his
Lord and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His
Messengers. (They say), "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers"
- and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to you
is the return (of all)."
286. Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he
has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not
if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which you did lay on
those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we
have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our
Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving
people."

(They say): "Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after you have guided us,
and grant us mercy from you. Truly, you are the Bestower."
رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ ھَذَابَاطِلً سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
"Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to you! (Exalted are you
above all that they associate with you as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the
Fire.

بِكَلِمَاتِھِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ.
Mûsâ (Moses) said: "What you have brought is sorcery; Allah will surely make it of no effect.
Verily, Allah does not set right the work of Al-Mufsidûn (the evil-doers, corrupters).*" And
Allah will establish and make apparent the truth by His Words, however much the Mujrimûn
(criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) may hate it."

الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِیمِ ( ١١٦ ) وَمَنْ یَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّھِ إِلَھًا آَخَرَ لَا بُرْھَانَ لَھُ بِھِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُھُ عِنْدَ رَبِّھِ إِنَّھُ لَا یُفْلِحُ
الْكَافِرُونَ ( ١١٧ ) وَقُلْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَیْرُ الرَّاحِمِینَ
115. Did you think that we had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you
would not be brought back to us?
116. So Exalted be Allah, the True King: Lâ ilâha illâ Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
117. And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allah, any other ilâh (God), of whom he
has no proof; then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kâfirûn (the disbelievers in
Allah and in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, pagans, and idolaters) will not be successful.
118. And say (O Muhammad): "My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for you are the Best of
those who show mercy!"

اللَّھُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِیھَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّھَا كَوْكَبٌ
دُرِّيٌّ یُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ زَیْتُونَةٍ لَا شَرْقِیَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِیَّةٍ یَكَادُ زَیْتُھَا یُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْھُ نَارٌ نُورٌ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were)
a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from
a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning)
nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all
day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon
Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind,
and Allah is All-Knower of everything.

Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allah - if Allah intended some harm

they withhold His Mercy?" Say: "Sufficient for me is Allah; in Him those who trust (i.e.
believers) must put their trust."
