Self Ruqyah (performing Ruqyah on yourself) is one of the most powerful and effective spiritual healing methods described in the Quran and Sunnah. It is a safe, simple, and highly beneficial practice for anyone facing spiritual, emotional, or physical challenges such as stress, fear, anxiety, evil eye, nightmares, health issues, or unexplained problems.
Allah says in the Quran:
“We send down in the Quran that which is a healing and mercy for the believers.” (Surah Al-Isra 17:82)
In this blog, you will learn exactly how to perform Self Ruqyah properly, step-by-step, in an easy and practical way.
What Is Self Ruqyah?
Self Ruqyah means reciting Quranic verses, duas, and prayers on yourself for protection, healing, and relief.
It is the safest and most recommended form of Ruqyah, as taught by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
Anyone can do it — you do not need to be a scholar, imam, or healer.
All you need is:
Faith in Allah
Purity of heart
Consistency
Quranic recitation
When Should You Perform Self Ruqyah?
You should perform Self Ruqyah if you experience:
Anxiety, fear, or sadness
Depression or negative thoughts
Disturbed sleep or nightmares
Sudden anger or mood changes
Unexplained health issues
Feeling heavy in the chest
Repeating failures or blockages
Feeling watched or uncomfortable
Weakness after arguments or stress
These signs may be due to stress, negative energy, evil eye, or spiritual weakness — and Ruqyah helps in all cases.
How to Prepare for Self Ruqyah
Before starting Ruqyah, make sure you:
1. Perform wudu (ablution).
2. Sit in a quiet place.
3. Use a pleasant fragrance (optional).
4. Have a glass of water or olive oil if you want to blow on it.
5. Start with full trust in Allah’s healing.
Step-by-Step Method to Perform Self Ruqyah
Follow this simple Ruqyah routine daily:
Step 1: Begin with Praise and Protection
Recite:
Surah Al-Fatihah (×3)
Ayat-ul-Kursi
Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas (×3 each)
These Surahs protect you from every kind of harm and strengthen your iman.
Step 2: Blow on Your Hands and Body
After reciting the above:
Blow lightly into your hands
Wipe your entire body from head to toe
Repeat this three times
This is exactly how the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) performed Ruqyah.
Step 3: Focus on Areas of Pain
If you feel pain or heaviness:
Place your right hand on that area
Recite:
“Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem” (×3)
“A‘ūdhu billāhi wa qudratihi min sharri mā ajid wa uhādhir” (×7)
(O Allah, I seek refuge in You and Your Power from the harm I feel and fear.)
Step 4: Recite Specific Ruqyah Verses
These verses are powerful for healing:
Surah Al-Baqarah (selected verses)
Surah Yunus 81–82
Surah Taha 68–70
Surah Al-Anbiya 69
Surah Al-Muminun 115–118
Recite them slowly and with belief.
Step 5: Blow on Water or Olive Oil (Optional)
You may blow Ruqyah into:
Water (to drink daily)
Olive oil (to apply before sleep)
This increases the healing effect.
Step 6: End with Dua
Make sincere dua:
“O Allah, grant me complete healing, protect me from all harm, and remove every illness from my body, mind, and soul.”
