This is another easy amal for reversing spells such as spells for blocking marriage proposals, prosperity of business, chances of getting good jobs, straining relationships and breaking them, creating hurdles in the life of the victim, etc.
It is advisable to go through my previous posts about spell reversal before doing this amal. Since this amal requires discipline and spiritual strength. Hence, it should be done one one’s own responsibility.

Hisar is essential before starting the amal. (Its has been mentioned in my previous posts).
After reading any durud shareef which you know for 11 times read this prayer

We Alqayna Beynehumul Adawata Wal Bagda Wa Ilayhi Yawmal Qiyamah

and in the end repeat the darood shareef 11 times.

I am disclosing an easy dua which can be used to reverse black magic spell which is not too powerful. This prayer can be used to quell those magicians who do not possess expert devils. It can reverse black magic spells cast by such less powerful magicians for causing illness, panic attacks and headaches on the victim.

before and after recite 11 time darood (salawat)
and read this verse

Hasbu nallahu wa ni’mal wakeel (at least 100 times daily)

You can decide the number of times that you would like to read this prayer. It should be kept in mind that the more it is read, the more is the black magic reversed.
After doing the amal one should pray to Allah and request him humbly to send back the magic towards the person who has send it towards us.
As a precautionary one should do a hisar before starting the amal for protection. This is because when the black magic is reversed, the devils of the magician make attempts to stop the victim from completing the amal. The following symptoms may be noticed if the magician’s devils do come to fight:
One can hear sounds of someone running about on the terrace of the room in which the amal is being done.
Dark shadows are seen which keep changing into different forms.
A white apparition appears before the victim, which is similar to the smoke emanating from an incense stick.
Something seems to be rotating behind the victim’s back.

If the black magic is successfully reversed, then the following signs can be seen:

If the victim’s face has darkened under the influence of black magic, it may retain its sheen.
If there was pain in the body, then one may get relieved of it.
Backaches disappear.
A stiff neck problem may also get over.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh -- Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim)

Durood or Darood Shareef (Arabic: salawāt‎) (Persian: درود) has various other names like Durood Sahreef, Salawat, Salat ala Nabi, Salat-un-Nabi. Darood is an invocation which Muslims make by saying specific phrases to compliment the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh -- Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

Durood is a sure means of Allah Ta’ala granting blessings, peace, prosperity and favours of great magnitude on one who recites Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). The reciter of Durood Shareef receives all the benefits in this world and utmost gain in the next world with addition to the love of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).
The invocation of Blessings on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is styled in Arabic as “Salawat”, in Persian as “Durood”, and in Urdu as “Salawat-o-Salaam”.
The regular recitation of Durood Shareef on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) lifts up our hearts on to a plane of comprehension where we gaze in our new found peace and moral armour.

We have been told by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) that Durood Shareef is itself Light and when Light enters the soul every aspiration is achieved and every goal is won. Nothing remains thereafter to worry about.

Human spirit today is depressed everywhere and mankind has come to the edge of destruction, decay and devastation. Everyone is engulfed in untold miseries and tragedies of a very great magnitude. Troubles and tortures, pain, poverty, hunger, ill-health, frustrations and accidents have broken the back of a human being. All this can evaporate with the recitation of Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) who has clearly proclaimed that Durood Shareef is the panacea of all ills and that if any one comes across a calamity he should recite Durood Shareef in the maximum number. Allah Ta’ala has promised that if anyone recites Durood only once, He showers ten blessings on the reciter immediately.
It is narrated that once Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) walked a very long distance in the desert during summer at noon. He fainted due to thirst and hunger. After a while, when he regained his consciousness, Allah Ta’ala sent Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to go and inquire from Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) if he was thirsty or not. Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) replied that he was thirsty. Allah Ta’ala told him that the thirst on the Day of Judgement will be a million times more than what Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) experienced. Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) was told that if he wished to get rid of that thirst on the hottest Day of Judgement, he would have to do one thing. When Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) enquired as to what should be done, Allah Ta’ala told him that he should recite Durood Shareef in abundance on His last Prophet, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) thanked Allah Ta’ala and immediately began reciting Durood Shareef on the Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

From the above fact it is quite clear that Allah Ta’ala has given orders even to his Ambiya to recite Salawat on the last and final Prophet of Islam, and that Durood Shareef is not only panacea and a solution to the ills of this world but in the next too.

In another story, it is narrated that when Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) saw Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) he wanted to be close to her, but Allah Ta’ala sent Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to stop him. Allah Ta’ala told him that if he wanted to take Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) as his wife, he should first pay Mahr (dowry). On his inquiry as to what the Mahr was, Allah Ta’ala told Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to inform him that the best way of paying the dowry is for him to recite Durood Shareef 3 times on His last Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) did so, Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) was granted to him as his legal and legitimate wife.

The highest blessings which Islam has conferred on man is the concept of Tauheed or Unity of Allah in its purest form. This has been furnished to mankind through Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), the last of the Prophets. It is a cardinal duty of every Muslim man and woman, young and old to entertain the highest respect, regard, love and esteem for the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) and his family. It should be clear that obedience to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is always to be charged with intense love and highest regard for him, for it is through love and esteem that truth can be comprehended and communion with the Creator can be vouch-safed. In fact, love is the motive force, reverence dissolves and implicit obedience to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) which is the natural outcome. It is therefore incumbent on those who love him, to pray to Allah Ta’ala and His Angels in wishing for him peace according to the Divine Command. This will reshape the life which is otherwise infested with turmoil. The reciter will get countless and matchless benefits in both the Worlds and can claim to be the lover of Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

As Muslims we should recite Durood Shareef in the Arabic language. Islam seeks to create a unified outlook and it is in the Arabic language alone which welds all Muslims into one great brotherhood. Besides, Arabic is the language of Heaven, it is the language of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), it is the language of the Angels and it is the language of Hazrat Abu-Bakr, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Uthman and Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhuma).

The daily recitation of Durood Shareef has a tremendous effect on the human head, heart, mind and person. It purifies thoughts and intensifies actions. It makes passages for perfect peace and personal satisfaction.

If we start reciting Darood daily we will see blessings of Allah very soon, Please recite at-least 100 times Darood Ibrahimi Daily.

40. The Durood Shareef that is recited by the person is written with a Golden Pen on a Silver tablet by the Angels. The Angels then present this Durood Shareef to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah and proclaim, “O Habeeb of Allah! The son of such and such a person has presented this gift in your majestic court”.

It is worship to think about the holy Prophet^-SAWS, it is worship to mention his name, it is worship to follow him and it is worship to serve him. What is virtue? It is the servitude to the holy Prophet^-SAWS. What is sin? It is disobedience of the holy Prophet^-SAWS. Very unfortunate is the person who breathed on Allah’s earth, benefited from this sun, lived in this atmosphere and could not know the holy Prophet^-SAWS and could not believe in him. There is none on this earth who is more unfortunate than him. MayAllah have mercy on the person blessed with the light of Faith to fulfil the obligation of his love! It is not necessary to spend millions to buy his^-SAWS kindness. It is not necessary to sacrifice the life to draw his benevolence. It is but a feeling within the heart; a relationship of the heart; if it becomes strong, it can defeat even death, what to speak of the worldly ordeals. Such a person lives forever; he doesn’t die; he continues to live even after death. Real life is that when he is buried in the grave, he illuminates the grave and grants it life. But, where does this life come from? Just like this universe takes light from the sun, all universes take life from the holy Prophet^-SAWS. That beloved of Allah, on whom Allah Himself showers His choicest favours and His angels send their salutations, and He invites the believers to join Him and His angels in sending Darood! We are a handful of dust, what is our worth! But the Creator of Eternity says ‘I am sending Darood on my Prophet^-SAWS, so are My angels; you should also join.’ Can a man think of any greater honour than this? Allah added Darood in at-Tahiyat in Salah; He put in the orders to recite Darood in the Quran; He integrated the remembrance of the holy Prophet Muhammad^-SAWS with each step of life. Each breath of a believer is attached with the remembrance of the holy Prophet^-SAWS. This work is to be done; how: as told by the holy Prophet^-SAWS. This is not to be done; why: because it has been forbidden by the holy Prophet^-SAWS. With every act of the day and night is integrated the remembrance of that single personality! What a great honour! Even the angels attend that assembly with respect! What is our worth? We are those whom none cares to know or recognise! We are just dragging ourselves through the highs and lows of life. What is our value and what can we give to others? Only that thing, which benefits others, has some value. What can anybody get from us, we are so needy ourselves? But, if we attach ourselves to that honourable court and serve it devotedly, a time comes when a person loses his self. The Sufis term it as Fana fir Rasul; a person retains his self, he walks and works but his wishes, ambitions and all actions are lost before the noble will of the holy Prophet^-SAWS. When someone attains to Fana fir Rasul, he also becomes beneficial for others. He is like a mirror that starts reflecting sun’s light when placed before the sun. It is not mirror’s own light; it takes from the sun and, instead of just absorbing it, reflects it and benefits others. Similarly, a person who attains to Fana fir Rasul can be beneficial for humanity. If a person is granted the meditation of Fana fir Rasul, he doesn’t actually become Fana fir Rasul. The meditation helps him and establishes his connection with the Court of the holy Prophet^-SAWS. He is responsible to mould his life through that connection. If he doesn’t redirect the course of his life, and if Allah doesn’t pardon him, he would be charged with two offences.

The other day, someone mentioned the foolishness of a person. I said, “He is a simple person; he may be foolish but he attends to worships and performs Zikr. If he is unintelligent, that is his good luck. It is we, who claim to be intellectuals that will be caught, when we will be questioned, ‘he was a fool, he didn’t know; but you knew, what then had you been doing’?”  Situation will be particularly difficult for someone who considers himself an intellectual. Similarly, if the teacher grants a student the meditation of Fana fir Rasul, and he still doesn’t completely obey the holy Prophet^-SAWS, how can he answer the question that you had a connection and strength, you should have tried to take that colour; you should have made an effort to follow the holy Prophet^-SAWS, you should have eaten Halal and spoken the truth; you should have obeyed Allah on the land of Allah. Our custom is that we follow the majority: ‘I did this because everyone was doing it’. This is no argument. There was a time when the holy Prophet^-SAWS was alone in his claim of Prophethood and the whole world was opposing him. Did Hadhrat Abu Bakr^-RAU and Ali^-RAU accept Islam for the reason that majority of people had accepted Islam. No! They said, ‘Let the whole world refuse, we accept; this slave ofAllah is true’. When the holy Prophet^-SAWS stated the Incident of Ascension, there was an uproar in whole Makkah. People used to gather on the mounds of Safa and Marwah near the Bait Ullah for tale-telling and gossip. Abu Jahal said, ‘He says he went above the heavens and returned. Leave that claim alone. But he says he went to the Dome of Rock and led the prayers of Prophets. It takes us three months on a fast and strong camel to reach there. How did he return in the same night?’ Finally, they thought of telling Abu Bakr^-RAU. They rushed to his house and said, ‘Abu Bakr, you accepted Islam. You believed your friend to be a Prophet. Do you now believe this?’ He replied, ‘I already believe that he receives Revelation from Allah, and that is far greater than what you are saying now. If he has really said what you are stating, I affirm it to be true and believe it,’ although he had not yet heard it from the holy Prophet^-SAWS. This is Fana fir Rasul!

If Allah grants this blessing to someone, it befits him that his belief should become Darood, his conduct should become Darood, his thoughts should become Darood and his tongue should recite Darood continuously. It is not enough to celebrate the birthday of the holy Prophet^-SAWS and fire crackers. In fact the whole world and entire humanity should celebrate his birthday and feel happy. Even the disbelievers should feel happy that Allah has raised a personality that desires their wellbeing. The believer’s connection with him is established from the time of his Prophethood, and we have forgotten that! The mercy and blessings that his Prophethood brought are simply countless. He^-SAWS taught human beings to converse with the Lord of the Worlds. From where he picked them and to what heights did he raise them! May Allah’s choicest favours, blessings and peace be on him!

Question: While performing Ruqyas, some Raqis command the devil to get out of the possessed patient. Sometimes the devil asks to exit through, for example, the eye or the ear, but the Raqi fefuses lest the patient‘s ears or eyes should be harmed. Therefore, the Raqi instructs the devil to exit through the mouth or toes. Is it right to believe that the devil‘s exit through the patient‘s ears or eyes can be harmful?

Answer: It is true that the devil possesses the human and controls all his body. Obviously, it can enter through all body parts, and sometimes through certain parts such as fingers, toes, sense organs or private parts. The same can be said about its exit; for example, as it enters through one side, it can exit from the other side, or though a finger, a toe, the mouth, the nose or the ears.

Someone I trust told me about the case of a possessed girl. Under the pressure of the Ruqya, the devil asked to exit through the right hand‘s forefinger. Those who were observing the finger being dipped into dust, as the exiting was occurring, saw no harm done to the finger. This implies that no harm befalls the exit point. 1 Wallahu A‘lam.

Question: What are Ruqyas reported to have been performed by Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم?

Answer: It is reported that whenever the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم went to bed, he used to do the following: (a) put his palms together; (b) breathe out into them; c) read Al-Kursi Ayah and the Suras of Al-Falaq, Annas, Al-Kafiroon and Al-Ikhlaas three times; and (d) rub with his hands the front of his body, starting with the face down to the neck, the chest, the tummy and ending with the legs. When he fell ill, Aisha did that for him, rubbing him with his own hands for their blessing‘s sake. 1

When a Sahabi recited Al-Fatiha as a Ruqya unto a patient stung by a scorpion, and the patient was cured, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to the Raqi, ―How did you come to know it is a Ryqya?! 2 This confirms the recitation of Al-Fatiha for Ruqyas.

Seeking Allah‘s protection, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say, ―I seek refuge in Allah from devils and from evil eyes.‖ Then, he would recite Al-Falaq and Annas Suras.3 When performing Ruqyas, he prayed for the patient, ―In the name of Allah I am doing this Ruqya unto you to get rid of what is hearming you and of the evil of spirits and envious eyes. May Allah cure you! In the name of Allah I am doing this Ruqya unto you.‖ 4

Having banned the use of Shirk prayers for Ruqya, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught these instead, ―O Allah, Lord of mankind, I beg you to remove the suffering. I beg You, as You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Yours, to bring about the healing that leaves behind no ailment.‖ 5 He also used to say, ―I seek refuge in Allah‘s perfect words from the evil of all what he has created 6, from all devils and insects and from all envious eyes.‖ 1 He also said, ―If one has a pain, one should lay one‘s hand on the painful spot and say: I seek refuge in Allah‘s Dignity and Ability from the evil of what I am suffering and guarding against.‖

Question: What about those who do not believe in the healing power of the Qur‘an, who consider treatment by it as a myth and who believe that proper treatment has to be done only by material means as in medical practice?

Answer:
To believe that the Qur‘an is not a healing contradicts the Qur‘an and the Hadith. In the Qur‘an, Allah says, ―(82) and we reveal of the Qur‘an that which is a healing and a mercy to believers.‖ 1 He says also, ―(44) Say: It [the Qur‘an] is for those who believe [in it] a guidance and a healing.‖ 2 The Hadith reports the case of the Sahabi (the Prophet‘s Companion) who treated a patient stung by a scorpion. The patient was cured and was able to walk without any suffering after the Ruqya treatment. 3 Many other successful cases have been reported. Experience tells us that some illnesses which are too difficult for skilful doctors to treat by known medical means (medications and operations) have been -- by Allah‘s permission -- effectively treated with Ruqyas. Obviously, some medical doctors, by the nature of their training, are likely to deny that people can be possessed by the devil or be affected by magic or envy. Since such causes cannot be materially identified by ordinary medical tools, such as the stethoscope, the microscope and x-rays, patients are judged as Physically sound in spite of their epileptic fits, fainting and inner suffering, which disturb them and cause sleeplessness and restlessness.

However, once those very patients are treated by means of legal ruqyas, their suffering is – by Allah‘s permission -- removed. How effective Ruqyas are is related to the religious states of Raqis and patients. Regarding the Raqi, much depends on his mastery of relevant prayers and Qur‘anic verses and on his faith, honesty, purity of intention and avoidance of suspicious deeds. Patients, on the other hand, must be committed Muslims, who believe in the oneness of Allah and shun sins. Such qualities of Raqis and patients should – by Allah‘s permission – produce good results. 1

Questions: Is a man Raqi allowed to perform an Ruqya unto a group of women in one place, where their Mahrams (relatives forbidden in marriage) are available in case their own women go epileptic or faint? Answer:
It is not forbidden for a man Raqi to perform a group Ruqya for an assembly of women. It is the presence of a man and a non-Mahram woman on their own that is forbidden. Accoding to the hadith, ―If a man and a woman (who are not Mahrams) get together on their own, Satan comes in.‖ 3 for such a task, the Raqi must be a trustworthy person of religious commitment, faith and righteousness. He has to limit his Ruqya to recitation and prayers behind a screen, and he must not directly touch the woman‘s body. It is recommended that the patients‘ Mahrams be present in case help is needed. 4 (Wallahu-A‘lam)

Question: Having received a Ruqya from a Raqi known for righteousness and goodness, a patient paid some fees. Later, the patient began to think that he had paid too much, which led him to slander the Raqi out of envy. What is the Islamic ruling on this situation?

Answer:
Regarding mattes of Ruqya fees, it is recommended to do it free of charge and seek Allah‘s reward through treating fellow Muslims and eliminating their suffering. The Raqi should not demand fees, but should leave it to his patients. If they pay him a lot, he should not take it all, and if they give him less, he should not ask for more. Such a moral state is conducive to effective Ruqyas. The patient, on the other hand, should not go back on what he has done once he voluntarily gives a payment as fees, a present or a donation. In this regard, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says, ―Whoever seeks his gift back is like someone seeking back what he has vomited.‖1 The same image is expressed by another Hadith, but the comparison is with a dog doing that.2 The narrator of the Hadith remarked that doing that with vomit was forbidden. Regarding the matter of slandering the Raqi, it is considered an injustice, a lie and a false accusation, which is a cause for punishment, and so is the patient‘s envy. Condemning the Jews for their refusal to believe in Prophet Muhammad‘s صلى الله عليه وسلم
message out of envy, Allah says, ―(54) or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah o His bounty has bestowed upon them?‖1 As fire burns straw, so does envy with rewards. Therefore, the patient in that situation had better repent and abandon injustice and envy. 2

Question: In some cases, especially when patients are great in number, a Raqi gathers his patients together in one place and recites the Ruqya over the loudspeaker. What is the validity of performing a group Ruqya, and what is the validity of using the loudspeaker?

Answer: Some Raqis are reported to have performed such Ruqyas, and the results were beneficial for many patients. In such cases, on the one hand, as the possessed listen to the Qur‘anic verses and prayers, the devils possessing them suffer and, as a result, are driven out. On the other hand, since the Qur‘an itself is a healing, the listener is affected by its healing power, even in the absence of Nafth (the Raqi‘s puffing out of breath out in hi hands during Ruqya). However, in a recommended Ruqya, the Raqi should be close enough to the patient to execute the acts of recitation, Nafth and rubbing in such a proper manner that the patient can get the utmost benefit out of the Ruqya. Accordingly, if possible, each patient should be treated individually. If not, group Ruqyas as mentioned above could be done though not expected to be as effective as individual ones. 1 Wallahu-A‘lam.

Question:

What are the qualities required of those who perform Ruqyas?

Answer:

For Ruqyas to be effective, the following requirements must be fulfilled: Firstly, on the positive side, Raqis must be good, righteous, honest persons, who observe daily prayers and other religious duties and do good deeds. On the negative side, they must not be involved in minor or major sins, in deeds considered resentful or disobedient, or in activities alien to Islamic teachings. Their earnings have to be gained from legally acceptable sources, and not from forbidden or suspect ones.

In this regard, the Prophets said, ―If you feed yourself from Halal (Islamically allowed) sources, your prayers will be answered.‖1 ―He mentioned the example of the dusty thick-haired man who prolongs his travel, and who raises his hands up to heaven praying, ‗O, Lord! O, Lord!‘ How can his prayers be answered while he feeds and clothes himself from Haram (forbidden) sources!2 Thus, to earn prayers answered.

In this respect, Raqis but could, if necessary, take only basic expenses; this makes Ruqyas nearer to being beneficial.

Secondly, Raqis must have a good command of relevant Qur‘anic content, such as: Al-Fatiha Sura, Annas Sura, Al-Ikhlas Sura, the end of Al-Baqara Sura, the beginning and the end of Ala-Imran Sura, Al-Kursi Ayah, the end of Al-Tawaba Sura, the beginning of Yunus Sura, the beginning of Annal Sura, the end of Al-Israa Sura, the beginning of Ta-Ha Sura the end of Al-Muminun sura, the beginning of As-Saffat Sura, the beginning of Al-Mu‘min/Ghafir Sura, the end of Al-Jathiya Sura and the end of Al-Hashr Sura. They must also have good command of relevant Qur‘anic supplications, such as those mentioned in Al-Kalim Attayyib and other books.

In addition, they must be fully aware of the acts to be performed for Ruqya, such as recitation and Nafth (puffing out into their hands), and they should repeat the recitation three or more times. Thirdly, the patient must be a committed Muslim and a pious, righteous person, who shuns sins, injustices and other forbidden activities; Allah says, ―(82) We send [unto you] in the Qur‘an what is a healing and a mercy to believers, though it adds nothing but los to the unjust,‖1 and He says , ―(44) Say: It [the Qur‘an] is for those who believe [in it] a guidance and a healing.‖2 Therefore, Ruqyas are not often expected to produce the desired effects in the cases of those who are sinful, uncommitted and conceited, and the cases of those who do not properly observe prayers, and who neglect other religious duties. Fourthly, the patient must firmly believe that the Qur‘an is really a healing, a mercy and a useful treatment.

In other words, a Ruqya is futile if the patient is not sure of its healing effect. For example, it is considered inappropriate of the patient to say, ―Let us try the Ruqya. It may turn out to be beneficial, and if it does not, no harm done.‖ Instead, he/she must have a firm belief in its healing power, as revealed by Allah.
Once those requirements are fulfilled, Ruqyas should be beneficial by Alla‘s permission. 3 Allahu-A‘lam.
