The first method of using Ruqya for mental health is through reciting Quranic verses and supplications. Of the 114 chapters in the Quran, some are specifically recommended for healing, such as Surah al-Fatiha, Surah Ikhlas and Ayat ul-Kursi. Reciting these and other duas (supplications) aloud can help provide peace of mind, clarity of thought, and even physical relief from mental distress. Additionally, reciting the verses with understanding can further deepen the sense of solace and harmony.

Second, drinking Ruqya water is said to be similarly beneficial. Once the Ruqya recitations are complete, the practitioner fills a container with clean water and recites additional verses over it. The Ruqya water can then be consumed, with the believer hoping to receive the healing benefits from Allah (subhanwata’ala). This water has been known to grant strength and positivity to the people during times of hardship.

Third, bathing with Ruqya water is an effective way to relieve distress and regain energy. This is done by pouring water from head to toe with the intention of relieving oneself from distress. Not only does this help to reduce stress, but it also helps to release the negative effects of spiritual ailments.

The fourth way to benefit from Ruqya for mental health is oil massaging. By taking some blessed oil and spreading it on their hands and head, individuals can relax their mind and body at a deeper level, allowing the feeling of relaxation to penetrate their subconscious.

Fifth, people may use incense of black seeds to promote mental clarity. This type of incense is known to help clear the space of any negative thoughts and to create a sense of clarity and serenity, which is especially beneficial for those suffering from mental illness, as it helps to diminish intrusive thoughts and lighten up the mind. `Aisha (May Allah be please with her) has narrated to me that she heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'This black cumin is healing for all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said, 'Death." (Sahih Al Bukhari)

The sixth and final beneficial form of Ruqya for mental health is the use of diagnosing spiritual remedies. By diagnosing for Evil eye, Envy, Black Magic and Jinn, practitioners can provide Quranic Ayats to help remove them and balance their mental health, aiding relaxation and bolstering the spirit.
