Illness & Healing

When visiting the sick

أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ

Es'elüllâhel azîme rabbel arşil azîmi en yeşfiyeke.

I ask Allah the Supreme, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, to cure you.

If said 7 times, the patient will be cured unless their time of death has come.

Abu Dawud, Jana'iz 8, 3106; Tirmidhi, Tibb 32, 2083

Placing hand on the place of pain

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ (ثَلَاثًا) أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

Bismillâh (3 kez). Eûzü bi izzetillâhi ve kudratihî min şerri mâ ecidü ve uhâziru.

In the name of Allah (3 times). I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and fear.

Self-recited ruqyah for healing

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

Allâhümme rabben nâsi ezhibil be'se işfi enteş şâfî lâ şifâe illâ şifâüke şifâen lâ yuğâdiru sekamâ.

O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction. Cure, for You are the Curer. There is no cure but Your cure — a cure that leaves no illness.

The Prophet (PBUH) used to treat the sick with this supplication.

Bukhari, Marda 20, 5742; Muslim, Salam 46, 2191

Patience during illness

لَا بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Lâ be'se tahûrun in şâallâh.

No worry, it is a purification, if Allah wills.

Bukhari, Marda 3, 5656

Protection from the evil eye

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ

Eûzü bi kelimâtillâhit tâmmeti min külli şeytânin ve hâmmetin ve min külli aynin lâmmetin.

I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil, every harmful creature, and every envious eye.

Bukhari, Anbiya 10, 3371

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِيكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ أَوْ عَيْنِ حَاسِدٍ اللَّهُ يَشْفِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ

Bismillâhi erkîke min külli şey'in yü'zîke min şerri külli nefsin ev ayni hâsidin. Allâhü yeşfîke bismillâhi erkîke.
