Ruqyah baths are a very effective method to weaken the effects of magic. These baths should be an important part of the treatment. One has to motivate oneself and take the trouble to take these baths, because they are definitely worth the time and effort. One should recall that healing comes from Allah, so one should ask Him to heal one through the baths, and one should do this as regularly as possible.There are a few different variants of the Ruqyah bath, but they are all quite similar. The ingredients can vary (see "Variation of the Ruqyah Bath" below).One should not postpone the bath unnecessarily if one does not have a certain ingredient. The most important is anyway the recitation of the Qur'an on the water. Here, too, one should not go into extremes and let Satan induce doubts, e.g. that the pronunciation of the Arabic might not be good enough so that the Ruqyah would be ineffective. If one makes efforts, Allah will make the Rukyah work by His permission.
