Specific Measures to deal with the affect of a Jinn or magic
The whole issue of treating magic or the possession by the Jinn, comprises of three main aspects:
1. Remove the elements of magic as was done by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he was struck by black magic by a Jewish man called Lubaid Ben Al-'Aasim . This is not possible in most cases.
2. Reciting the Qur'aan and Azhkaar , with full trust in the Will and Power of Allaah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'alaa. The Azhkaar are of 2 kinds and both are essential here:
General Azhkaar : such as taking the Name of Allaah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'alaa when entering the house or when starting to eat, or seeking refuge in Allaah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'alaa on entering the toilet, asking for forgiveness when exiting the toilet, making du'a on going to sleep and waking in the morning, making du'a when leaving the house and boarding transport, etc. All these supplications provide a means of protection from the evil of the Jinn and magic and can easily be learnt, using a good book of supplications, such as 'Fortress of the Muslim'.
Specific Verses and supplications (Ruqiyah) :
Reciting Surah al-Baqarah for three consecutive days and then repeating it once every few days,
Reading Qur'aan and known supplications expressing seeking refuge, the most important and effective of which is sura 113 and 114, Al-Falaq and Al-Naas, which were used to cure the Prophet of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) himself . Surah 112, Al-Ikhlaas, is recommended along with them, as well as the opening chapter of the Qur'aan, Al-Fatihah.
To cure black magic the following verses from the Qur'aan should be recited: on water, some of which is drank and the rest is used to take a bath.
verse Al-Kursi (2:255), surah Al-Kafiroon (109), surah 112, 113, 114 ; the verses which mention magic, which are: in surah Al-Baqarah (2:102 ), Al-A'raaf (3:117-119), Yunus (10:79-82), and Taha (20:65-69).
Among the du'aa's which have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to treat diseases such as sihr and other things is the ruqyah by means of which he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to treat his companions: " Allaahumma Rabb an-naas, adhhib il-ba's, washfi anta al-Shaafi laa shifaa'a illa shifaa'uka shifaa'an laa yughaadir saqaman (O Allaah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and heal him, for You are the Healer and there is no healing except Your healing, with a healing which does not leave any disease behind) ."
There is also the ruqyah by means of which Jibreel treated the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): " Bismillaah urqeeka min kulli shay'in yu'dheeka, wa min sharri kulli nafsin aw 'aynin haasid Allaah yashfeek, bismillaah urqeek (In the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you, from every thing that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye may Allaah heal you, in the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you) ." This should be repeated three times.
3. Making Du'a all the time asking Allaah for a cure and relief, all the time especially when one is in prostration during prayer and in the last third of night.
We ask Allaah to guide us and forgive our sins. We ask Allaah cure our ailments give us protection and healing from the evil of every Shaytaan from among the men and Jinn.
