The abduction of the Kebbi schoolgirls is a cruel attack on our children and our future. Nigeria cannot continue like this. The government must take immediate action to rescue them and put an end to this cycle of insecurity. 🇳🇬 #KebbiGirls
THE BEST TREATMENT FOR SIHR (BLACK MAGIC)
It is crucial to understand that the primary and most powerful cure for Sihr in Islam is through specific spiritual practices derived from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The approach is holistic, addressing the spiritual root of the problem.
Here is a breakdown of the Prophetic medicine for Sihr:
1. The Primary Cure: Ruqyah (Quranic Healing)
Ruqyah (رقية) is the recitation of specific verses from the Quran and supplications from the Sunnah to seek protection and cure from Allah. It is the most emphasized and effective treatment.
A. Key Quranic Verses for Ruqyah: The Prophet(ﷺ) mentioned that certain chapters are a healing and a protection.
· Surah Al-Fatihah (The Opening): Considered the greatest chapter, it is a cure.
· Ayat al-Kursi (The Throne Verse - Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255): Recited for protection from evil.
· The Last Two Ayat of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:285-286): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, that will be sufficient for him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari).
· Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas (The Three Quls): These are extremely powerful for seeking refuge.
· The Prophet (ﷺ) would recite them into his hands, blow on them, and wipe them over his body before sleeping. This is a primary practice for protection and cure.
· He described Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas as "the best two seekings of refuge ever sought refuge with." (Sunan an-Nasa'i)
B. How to Perform Ruqyah:
1. Sincerity and Faith: The most important condition is having absolute certainty that healing comes only from Allah. The Quranic verses are merely a means.
2. Purity: Perform ablution (wudu) if possible.
3. Recitation: Recite the verses above and other Quranic verses (like Surah Yaseen, Surah As-Saffat) with conviction.
4. Blowing: It is from the Sunnah to recite into one's hands and blow into them, then wipe over the face and the front of the body. For treating someone else, one can recite over water or olive oil, blow into it, and have the person drink or anoint themselves with it.
5. Supplication (Dua): Make sincere dua to Allah to remove the affliction. A known supplication is: "O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and heal him, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves no illness behind."

2. Other Prophetic Practices and Remedies
Alongside Ruqyah, several other practices are recommended:
· Seeking Forgiveness (Istighfar) and Remembrance of Allah (Dhikr): Sihr often affects a person whose faith is weak. Constant dhikr (e.g., La ilaha illallah, SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar) and seeking forgiveness strengthen one's spiritual armor.
· Praying the Five Obligatory Prayers and Tahajjud (Night Prayer): Maintaining prayers, especially the Fajr and Maghrib prayers, is a powerful protection. The night prayer is a time when Allah descends to the lowest heaven and asks who is asking for forgiveness so He may forgive them.
· Honey: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is a cure in honey." (Sahih al-Bukhari). While it's a physical remedy for many illnesses, consuming pure honey with the intention of seeking cure from Allah is beneficial.
· Black Seed (Habat al-Sawda / Nigella Sativa): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This black seed is a cure for every disease except death." (Sahih al-Bukhari). It should be taken regularly for general health and with the intention of seeking a cure.
· Cupping (Hijama): The Prophet (ﷺ) highly recommended cupping as a physical treatment for various ailments. It is believed to remove harmful substances from the blood and can be part of a holistic treatment plan for symptoms caused by Sihr.

3. Identifying the Source and Removing It
A key step in treating Sihr is to find and eliminate its physical source, if it exists. The Prophet (ﷺ) advised:
· Look for the Object: Sihr is often tied to a physical object (like a knotted rope, something buried, or hidden in the house). The famous story of the Prophet (ﷺ) being afflicted by magic involved a comb and hair tied in knots and placed in a well. Once it was discovered and removed, his condition improved.
· Search the Home: The affected person should carefully and lawfully search their home, car, and belongings for any suspicious objects they did not place there.

Extremely Important Warnings and Principles
1. Absolutely No Shirk (Associating Partners with Allah): This is paramount. Prophetic medicine strictly forbids:
· Visiting fortune-tellers, sorcerers, or magicians (even to ask questions).
· Using talismans, amulets, or charms that contain anything other than Quranic verses or permissible supplications (and even this is a matter of scholarly difference, with many scholars discouraging it to avoid shirk).
· Attempting to counteract magic with magic.
2. Tawakkul (Reliance on Allah): True healing comes only from Allah. All these practices are means, but ultimate trust and reliance must be on Him alone.
3. Consult Knowledgeable and Pious People: The Ruqyah should be performed by someone known for their piety, knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah, and correct Islamic creed. Unfortunately, many charlatans exploit vulnerable people.
4. Do Not Neglect Medical Treatment: Sihr can manifest with physical or psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, illness, marital discord). You must also consult qualified medical doctors and therapists. Islam encourages seeking a cure through all permissible means. Consider the spiritual treatment (Ruqyah) as addressing the root cause and medical treatment as addressing the physical symptoms.
Summary of Steps to Take:
1. Strengthen Your Faith: Increase in prayer, dhikr, reading Quran, and giving charity.
2. Perform Ruqyah: Daily, on yourself and your family, using the prescribed verses and method.
3. Search and Destroy: Look for any potential physical objects related to the Sihr in your environment.
4. Seek Help: From a trustworthy, Sunni Islamic scholar or a known Raqi (one who performs Ruqyah) who follows the Quran and Sunnah.
5. See a Doctor: For any physical or mental health symptoms, consult a medical professional.
6. Be Patient: Healing takes time. Have patience and absolute trust in Allah's plan.
May Allah grant us total healing. Aameen
