Guardians of Sacred Knowledge: The Indispensable Role of Scholars in Authentic Ruqyah at Ruqyah India

At Ruqyah India, we recognize that authentic Islamic spiritual healing begins and ends with the light of authentic knowledge (‘Ilm). In a field vulnerable to distortion, innovation (bid‘ah), and outright exploitation, the guidance of qualified Islamic Scholars (‘Ulama) is not merely beneficial—it is the bedrock upon which safe, effective, and Shariah-compliant Ruqyah stands. Our scholars are the unwavering compass ensuring every practice under the banner of “The Ruqaa” remains firmly anchored in the Qur’an and the pure Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Why Scholars Are the Cornerstone of Our Ruqyah Practice:

1. Preserving Purity & Preventing Shirk:
   Ruqyah deals directly with the Unseen (al-Ghayb) – matters of sihr, jinn, and the evil eye. This realm is acutely susceptible to practices that unknowingly (or knowingly) cross into shirk – associating partners with Allah. Our scholars meticulously scrutinize every methodology, supplication (du’a), and practice employed by The Ruqaa. They ensure absolutely nothing contradicts Tawhid (Islamic monotheism). They are our first line of defense against rituals that invoke other than Allah, use impermissible objects, or incorporate innovations that corrupt the sanctity of this Prophetic healing.

2. Validating Authenticity & Methodology:
   Not every reported “Ruqyah” practice has a basis in the authentic Sunnah. Our scholars possess the deep expertise in Hadith sciences (Mustalah al-Hadith) and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) necessary to:

   • Authenticate Ruqyah texts: Verify the chains of transmission (Isnad) and authenticity (Sahih/Hasan) of specific verses, du’as, and practices attributed to the Prophet ﷺ or his Companions for healing.

   • Define Permissible Boundaries: Establish clear guidelines on how Ruqyah should be performed – the conditions, etiquettes, and prohibitions – ensuring it aligns with the Prophetic model.

   • Arbitrate Complex Cases: Provide authoritative rulings on intricate cases where symptoms are ambiguous, or practices require nuanced understanding beyond the immediate scope of the Raqi.

3. Combatting Fraud & Misguidance:
   As highlighted in our founder’s message, Ruqyah India and The Ruqaa serve as a vital public accountability body. This critical function is powered by scholarly authority. Our scholars:

   • Identify & Expose Bid‘ah and Shirk: Provide the definitive Islamic verdicts on the fraudulent practices employed by fake raqis – whether it’s using talismans, calling upon jinn, performing rituals at graves, or inventing un-Islamic “cures.” This scholarly condemnation is essential for public warnings.

   • Empower Our Accountability Mission: Give legitimacy and weight to our investigations and exposures. When Ruqyah India declares a practice impermissible or a practitioner fraudulent, it rests on solid scholarly evidence and fatwa (religious verdict), not mere opinion.

   • Define “Authentic Ruqyah”: Provide the clear, scholarly benchmark against which all practices (including our own) are measured, enabling the community to distinguish truth from falsehood.

4. Educating Practitioners (The Ruqaa) & the Community:
   The Ruqaa are not only trained in recitation but are deeply educated in the principles and limitations of Ruqyah under scholarly supervision. Our scholars:

   • Develop the Curriculum: Design the rigorous training programs ensuring every Raqi understands the Fiqh of Ruqyah, the etiquettes of dealing with the afflicted, and the dangers of overstepping bounds.

   • Provide Ongoing Guidance: Offer continuous consultation and mentorship to The Ruqaa, addressing complex cases and evolving challenges.

   • Authorize Public Education: Develop the content for seminars, articles, and campaigns that teach the community how to protect themselves spiritually, recognize authentic Ruqyah, and reject harmful innovations – all based on sound Islamic knowledge.

Ruqyah India’s Commitment: Scholar-Led Integrity

Our scholars are not distant figures; they are integral, active members of the Ruqyah India ecosystem. They work hand-in-hand with The Ruqaa practitioners, overseeing our protocols, validating our treatments, and ensuring our public stance against exploitation is unassailably grounded in the Deen.

• Vetting Practitioners: No one joins The Ruqaa without meeting stringent scholarly-defined criteria for knowledge, character, and adherence to the Sunnah.

• Overseeing Practice: Scholars provide ongoing supervision and are available for consultation on complex cases handled by The Ruqaa.

• Safeguarding the Sanctity: Every du’a recited, every method employed, every public statement made by Ruqyah India undergoes scholarly scrutiny to preserve its purity and effectiveness.
