The Way Forward: Authentic Ruqyah

If you experience several of these symptoms, do not panic. The Quran is a cure. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us how to protect ourselves.

Seek an assessment from a certified practitioner who operates strictly within the boundaries of the Quran and Sunnah. Avoid any magicians, fortune-tellers, or those who ask for your mother's name, as their methods involve shirk (polytheism).
