Ta'wiz and Ruqyah ﷽ Ruqyah also called spell, charm and incantation consists of reciting some prayer or spell and then blowing over the body of the person being treated. In Urdu, it is called jhar-phooñk and mantar. Ruqyah containing prayer to Allah was a practice of the holy Prophet ‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ُ‫صلَّى هللا‬ َ ‫علَ ْي ِه َو‬ َ . Ta'wiz, also called amulet is a paper or some other material on which prayer or spell is written. The person under treatment keeps it on his body or in his house, shop etc. This is used as a substitute to Ruqyah for people who are unable to read (like small children, illiterate people etc.). If the Ta'wiz or amulet contains texts from the Quran or Hadith or its text invokes Allah’s help and protection, then wearing an amulet is permissible. However it is best to avoid it. Ruqyah which consists of reciting Du'a and Zikr and then blowing over body should be preferred instead. Read Taweez and Ruqyah at Wordpress. Download Taweez and Ruqyah from Archive.

When Ruqyah or Ta'wiz contains prayer to non-Allah (Shaitan, false gods, prophets, saintly men, etc.), it is very close to Shirk in sin. Hazrat Mufti Sa’id Ahmad Palanpuri writes that ailments that afflict us are either physical or spiritual in nature. Most of our ailments are physical, so they get cured quicker through medicines, however they benefit from incantations and other spiritual cures too1. On the other hand, the spiritual ailments get cured by incantations and spells. The holy Prophet ‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ُ‫صلَّى هللا‬ َ ‫علَ ْي ِه َو‬ َ used to recite Surah Falaq and Nas, then blow over himself in his last sickness. When he became too weak, Hazrat 'Aishah ‫ع ْن َها‬ َ ُ‫ي هللا‬ ِ ‫ َر‬used to do it for him2. There are scores َ ‫ض‬ of Hadith which prove that Allah’s Prophet did or taught incantations for himself or for others. As for the people who cannot recite because they are too young or too weak or illiterate, the substitute as presented in the following Hadith is amulets.
