Ruqyah is a spiritual healing method based on the recitation of specific verses from the Qur’an and prophetic supplications (duʿāʾ) to seek relief from ailments such as the evil eye, envy, magic, and spiritual disturbances. During a session, verses are recited aloud while the individual listens and reflects. The process may also include natural remedies like Qur’anic water or oil. Each session includes a spiritual assessment and clear, respectful guidance for continued healing at home.

All sessions are conducted by individuals with proper understanding of Islamic healing methods and commitment to following the Sunnah. The practice is carried out in accordance with Shariah, with no use of superstition, innovation, or cultural deviations. When appropriate, and especially during sessions involving women, a female presence may be included to ensure transparency and adherence to Islamic etiquette.

Ruqyah is a spiritual means of healing that offers comfort and relief from unseen afflictions, but it is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment. Those experiencing physical or mental health issues are strongly encouraged to seek help from qualified healthcare professionals. Ruqyah can be practiced alongside conventional care as part of a holistic approach to well-being that connects body, mind, and soul.

The suggested contribution for a Ruqyah session is $100 at our location or $150 for a mobile visit. These fees are not for personal income, but are collected to support the Canadian Islamic Information Centre. This helps sustain our non-profit operations and allows us to continue offering educational, spiritual, and community services to others in need. Your support directly contributes to the Centre’s ability to serve the wider community.

To request a Ruqyah session, simply reach out to us through our contact form, email, or phone. We recommend performing ablution (wuḍū’) beforehand, wearing clean and modest clothing, and preparing with a sincere intention. The environment should be calm and focused, free from unnecessary noise or distractions. After the session, personalized guidance is provided to help you continue your spiritual healing journey in your own space.

Yes, confidentiality and trust are at the heart of what we do. All matters discussed or observed during the Ruqyah session are handled with the utmost privacy and respect. We understand that many individuals and families seek support during sensitive or distressing times, and our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free environment. The process is rooted in Islamic tradition, focused on genuine healing, and always delivered with compassion, discretion, and professionalism.

For reasons of religious integrity, community trust, and to uphold Islamic guidelines, we do not conduct Ruqyah sessions for women alone. It is required that a maḥram (male guardian) or another mature and trusted female accompanies her during the session. This policy is in place to maintain transparency, respect, and the highest ethical standards in spiritual care. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us preserve the dignity and authenticity of this service.

Ruqyah is beneficial for anyone experiencing unexplained physical, emotional, or spiritual distress — such as persistent sadness, fear, tension, nightmares, sudden changes in behavior, or difficulties with focus and worship. It is also a recommended spiritual remedy for those who suspect envy, the evil eye, or magic, as well as anyone simply seeking to strengthen their connection with the Qur’an and seek protection through divine remembrance. You don’t need to wait for severe symptoms to benefit — Ruqyah can be a proactive step toward spiritual clarity and healing.
