Section: Overcoming addiction to pornography and "similar addictions
158
One of the most common questions asked relates to overcoming the addiction to pornography and what one might call politely "related addictions". It is not a beautiful subject, and if it does not apply to you, then praise Allah that He has not tried you with something He has examined so many of His servants.Pray! The following Du'a was made by the Prophet for a boy who longed to commit Zina.Only the first person was replaced with the third:اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ ذَنْبِي وَطَهِّرْ قَلْبِي، وَحَصِّنْ فَرْجِيTransliteration: Allahum-magh-fir dhan-bi wa tah-hir qAl-bi, wa haşşin far-jiTranslation: O Allah, forgive my sin, clean my heart and protect my chastity. [Ahmad 22211]Or the following:اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي اَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِيْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ بَصَرِيْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ لِسَانِيْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ قَلْبِيْ مِنْ شَرِّ مَنِيِّيْTransliteration: Allaahumma inni a`udhu bika min sharri sam`i wa min sharri basari, wa min sharri lisaani, wa min sharri qalbi, wa min sharri maniyyi.Translation: O Allah, indeed I seek refuge in You from the evil of my hearing and the evil of my sight, and the evil of my tongue and the evil of my heart, and the evil of my semen. [Abu Dawood: 1551; At-Tirmidhi: 3492; An-Nasa'i 5444, 5455]One should recognize the severity of sin in general and the severity of this particular sin and develop a hatred for it one's heart. Allah has told us that the rightly guided people hate defiance and disobedience.... but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you. Such are they who are the rightly guided. [Hujurat 7]One should develop a revulsion from this kind of disobedience, whatever temporary pleasure that it gives. This, in itself, is a struggle, so don't expect it to be easy.One should check one's prayer. Whenever one falls into sins, which can be termed as "faḥshaa" - immorality - you have to ask yourself whether there is something missing in the prayer: missed prayers, delayed prayers, not responding to the adhaan, and prayers without concentration are all a problem. Prayer prevents immorality and wrongdoing, so if it isn't doing the job, then it's most likely not being done in the right way.Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what ye do. [Al-Ankabut 45]One should repent at once, and this repentance should be sincere: one never does it again, and one implores Allah to help one. Yes, it is possible that one slips and falls again, but the stronger the determination to leave this sin, the better it will be.One should separate oneself from the things that make one commit this sin, even if it means that one exchanges the smartphone for a simple mobile phone, disconnects from the broadband, moves the computer into the living room or does something else. When one is serious about repentance, one is ready to take serious steps. One should also consider whether "adult-content" can be blocked by settings on the computer, e.g. with a random, long password that one can not remember and does not record. Certainly, these are only small measures, and a determined person can by-pass them, but the more one does, the harder it will be, and the more determined you become yourself.One should be around good people. These sins are sins that are almost exclusively committed alone. The less you are alone, the better the chance of breaking the habit. Consider sharing your room, if that's an option; share your phone and computer with others, so that there is less privacy.But if one is alone and is afraid to fall back into sin, one should not let this thought run its course, but one must get up and leave the private place to break the habit. It is not a substitute for the fear of Allah, but it is a temporary measure that can take you away from the sin you had intended.One should regularly fast - at least twice a week, and if one can and if necessary, even every other day. The Prophet (ﷺ) explained that this restrains the desires, so it is worthwhile to integrate the fast into the overall solution.If one feels that this problem might be associated with Jinn, one should start with the 7-day program and then go to the full Ruqyah program if required. It is rare that these problems are caused solely by Jinn, except in extreme cases. For most people, the Jinn simply uses the already existing desires, which is why one should primarily master these desires.Of course, marriage also protects against such desires, but it is not an option for most people at the time of their problems, or they are already married and still have these problems.
Section: Jinn attacks at night
159
Night attacks and sexual assaults by Jinn are reported by a number of patients, and undoubtedly this is one of the most distressing things a patient can suffer. Most patients who report it are women.These attacks almost always take place during the night while one is in bed, and most often when no one else is in the room. These attacks differ from dreams in the sense that the victim is often awake, as well as the fact that pain and physical effects such as rape are often present the next morning; however, some people experience the same feelings and images as part of a dream, either with or without physical trauma, and the following advice is appropriate for both cases.Regarding the Islamic faith and what the scholars have said about Jinn, there is no reason to deny that these attacks can take place, both through the medium of dreams and during being awake. This is consistent with what we know about the Jinn, and the reports are numerous and intrinsically trustworthy.With regard to preventive measures, there are a number of things that can be done both general and specific. The general measures have already been dealt with in the previous chapters, namely the general protective measures and the 7-day Ruqyah program. The following are recommended as specific measures:If one is already strictly adhering to the protective measures, has removed everything from the house which attracts Satans, and recites the recommended Adhkaar, especially those which are said in the morning and in the evening, and those which are said before going to sleep, one can also do the following:1. The supplication, which refers to the overcoming of an enemy to be said when you are in fear of an attack taking place (such as before sleeping, or when waking up suddenly at night) or during an attack:اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْTransliteration: Allaahumma 'innaa naj'aluka fee nuhoorihim wa nA'oodhu bika min shuroorihim.Translation: O Allah, we ask You to restrain them by their necks and we seek refuge in You from their evil. [Abu Dawud 1537; Al-Hakim 2629]2. Taking a Ruqyah bath before sleeping, as described on page 62 onwards.3. Rubbing oneself with Ruqyah oil before sleeping. The production of the Ruqyah oil is described on page 57 onwards.4. Waking up for the night prayer (Tahajjud), for when Satan knows that one is responding to night attacks by doing one of the greatest voluntary forms of worship, then the incentive to attack one becomes considerably less; not to mention the general virtue of praying the night prayer, in terms of acceptance of supplications, and so on.5. Observing the etiquettes of bad dreams and nightmares, for those who experience attacks as part of a dream. See the chapter "Sleeping Etiquettes" in appendix. Try to recite the verse of the throne 11 times before going to sleep.It is possible that having someone else in the room at night may help. There is no confirmed evidence, and it does not seem to affect the dreams, but it seems that people who suffer physical attacks while they are awake are mostly people who sleep alone, so it's worth mentioning here, without giving too much importance to it.
Section: Psoriasis, eczema and other ailments
160
Many people ask if psoriasis and eczema can be symptomatic of magic or the evil eye, and of course the answer is "maybe." Like a whole host of other symptoms, including headache, nausea, vomiting and insomnia, there is an overlap between genuine medical conditions that have no spiritual cause, and those caused by Jinn and related things.In essence, we are looking for signs that the disease is outside the usual medical pattern, especially if medical examinations have already taken place but no exact causes could be identified.There is, of course, a simple solution to such problems, which is also proposed by Ibnul-Qayyim and others, to treat the disease on both a medical and spiritual basis. After all, both of us were given to us by Allah subhan wa ta'ala as a means of finding a cure, and there is much less contradiction (or contraindication) between the two than could be imagined. For example, could a doctor rightly claim that 45 minutes of reciting the Qur'an every day is considered a contraindication to any sort of modern medicine? Sure, there are extreme cases, e.g. in the case of "mental diseases", during which the patient gets into a rage and Western medicine wants to immobilize him with heavy psychopharmaceuticals, which makes treatment by a Raqi virtually impossible. But these are rare cases.Nonetheless, whenever possible, any "modern" medicine should be renounced and alternative natural medicine should be used, especially with ingredients recommended by the Prophet (ﷺ) Here one can often combine the treatment quite simply.The following treatment has achieved good results in cases of psoriasis and eczema. Combine these dry ingredients in ground powder form:1. 25g henna leaves, known as Barg-e-Hina.2. 10g blackcrop, known as Kalonji.3. 10g Senna leaves, known as Sana Makki.4. 10g Marine Costus, known in Arabic as Al-Qust al Bahri or also as Qust-e-Shirin.Boil all of the dry ingredients together for 15 minutes either in 500 ml of raw organic apple cider vinegar, or in 250 ml olive oil, according to the note below. The liquid will have a strong smell if using the apple cider vinegar, but that is normal. Store the liquid in a glass bottle. You may either sieve it, or let the solids settle at the bottom of the bottle. Put on eczema spots twice a day.Use apple cider vinegar if the eczema is red like pimples, wet, watery, or bleeding; or olive oil if the eczema has dry white skin peeling off. Apple cider vinegar seems to be more effective in both eczema and psoriasis, including scalp psoriasis. In both cases, it is likely that the ointment will sting the cut & broken skin. With regular use that will subside, insha'Allah. The eczema patches should start to dry up and sting less within one week. Use the ointment for 6 months at a stretch, once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the disease. Can be used on all body parts including the scalp & face, but not the eyes.
Section: Magic and the stomach
161
There is another useful treatment for magic that presents itself through bloating in the stomach, abdominal pain, and/or nausea, and a desire to vomit. Notice that this post is not named 'magic in the stomach', but 'magic and the stomach'. That's because one of the most misdiagnosed things in Ruqyah is that the magic has been eaten. While it is true that magic can be fed to a person, this is less common than people imagine it to be. It has reached the extent that some Ruqyah practitioners have no other treatment than to say the magic has been fed, and that the person needs to be forced to vomit, through an emetic.At the same time, there is a legitimate reason why these cases are misdiagnosed, and that is because many forms of magic present themselves through bloating in the stomach, abdominal pain, or nausea. Many patients find a degree of relief from the emetic, and so this fuels the misdiagnosis that a huge portion of people in the world have been fed magic.An alternative treatment to a strong emetic, but which will - insha'Allah - bring the same kind of relief to someone who is suffering from magic that is presenting itself through stomach pains, bloating, or nausea and a desire to vomit. The ingredients are very mild, and are rooted in prophetic medicine, so we hope that it will be better tolerated than the usual means of forcing a patient to vomit. Once again, it should be emphasised that you should consult a medical professional before using these treatments.1. 1/2 kg of Honey2. 1 tablespoon of ground Black Seed (nigella sativa) 3. 1 tablespoon of ground Meccan Senna 4. 1 tablespoon of ground Rhubarb (also called Rhubarb root powder)5. 1 tablespoon of ground CuminMix all together, then every morning:Stir the mixture with a spoon, then bring a cup of water (Zamzam water would be best), and add a tablespoon of the above mixture to it, mix until the honey is dissolved in the water, then drink from it. Do this every day until the mixture finishes.It is preferred to use Ruqyah water, rather than water that has not been recited upon.Also, one can try mixtures which flush and clean the system. Search google for "Heavy Metal Detox" and "Parasite Detox" - there are a few simple recipes with juices, organic foods etc. They have shown to be a big help for people with Jinn related issues that present as abdominal bloating/pain, and are generally very well tolerated.
Section: Unfulfilled baby desire
162
Getting no children is a hard test, especially for a woman. It can affect the self-confidence and also the marriage. And for a perilous person, perhaps because of envy, jealousy, or revenge, it may well be a target of black magic. However, experience shows that this is not very often the case. Therefore, it should first be ascertained that this is not a biological problem, i. E. one should consult a specialist. If no biological problem can be identified as a cause for infertility, Ruqyah should be considered.Yet, as always, the most important thing should not be forgotten: getting children is in the hands of Allah!Allahs is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wants. He gives girls to whom He pleases, and He gives boys to whom He willth. Or He gives both, boys and girls, and He makes barren whom He willth; He is All-Knowing, Almighty. (As-Sura 49-50]Whether you can not get children because of a biological or a spiritual problem, it is easy for Allah to eradicate this problem if He wants. Hasan Al-Baṣrī had the following advice for couples who remained childless: one should take oneself to account and wonder whether a sin might be the reason why God does not bless one with children, and ask for forgiveness.Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is OftForgiving; He will send (rain from the sky upon you in [continuing] showers, and give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers. [Nuh 10-12]The best Du'a for forgiveness is Sayyidul Istighfarاَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِيْ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَTransliteration: Allaahumma anta rabbee laa ilaaha illaa anta, khalaqtanee wa-ana ‘abduka, wa-ana ‘alaa ‘ahdika wawa‘dika mas-tata‘tu, a‘oothu bika min sharri maa sana‘tu, aboo-o laka bini‘matika ‘alayya, wa-aboo-o bithanbee, faghfir lee fa-innahu laa yaghfirudh dhunooba illaa anta.Translation: O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am Your servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I have committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You. [Bukhari, Muslim and others]One should supplicate especially for the blessing of having children as the Prophet Zakariya (AS) had done, who was then blessed with the prophet Yahya (AS):رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَTranslation: My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while you are the best of inheritors. [Al-Anbiya: 89]One should pay attention to prayer and daily remembrance of Allah. It is amazing how people master the worst calamities with these two things. Allah says:O you who believe! Seek help in patience and prayer, indeed Allah is with the patient. [Al-Baqarah: 153]One should also pay attention to the etiquettes of prayer (see appendix) so that prayer is better accepted by Allah.One should thank Allah for all that He has one given and be content with the determination of Allah.And when your Lord proclaimed: If ye give thanks, I will give you more; but if ye are thankless, lo! My punishment is dire. [Ibrahim: 7]Therefore, one should always be grateful and commemorate God in humility so that one is not like those described in the following verses:He it is Who did create you from a single soul, and therefrom did make his mate that he might take rest in her. And when he covered her she bore a light burden, and she passed (unnoticed) with it, but when it became heavy they cried unto Allah, their Lord, saying: If thou givest unto us aright we shall be of the thankful. But when He gave unto them aright, they ascribed unto Him partners in respect of that which He had given them. High is He Exalted above all that they associate [with Him]. [Al-Araf: 189-190]Now, if one is concerned that the problem could be related to Jinn or magic, one should do both the general protective measures, as well as the 7-day Ruqyah program and the Ruqyah bath. If one considers it necessary, one should then make the full Ruqyah program.One can also take blackcurrant oil or capsules, and read the following suras and verses on them, with the intention of Ruqyah to destroy the magic:Al-Fatihah; the three last Suras (3 Qul); Al-Baqarah 102; the verse of the throne (Al-Baqarah 255); Al-Baqarah 284-287;Al-A'raf, 117-122; Yunus 79-82; Taha 65-69. (All these verses can be found in the appendix.)Afterwards, blow on the oil / capsules and drink the normal dosage described on the pack until the pack is finished.
