In an age dominated by modern medicine, many Muslims are rediscovering the timeless practices of Hijama (cupping therapy) and Ruqya (Quranic healing) — powerful remedies rooted in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. These therapies are more than just physical treatments; they are holistic healing methods that nurture the body, mind, and soul, drawing from the pure guidance of prophetic medicine.
At Serene Hijama & Ruqya, we believe that true healing comes from aligning with divine wisdom. Whether it’s relieving physical pain through hijama sunnah healing or addressing spiritual distress through ruqya therapy, these Sunnah-based practices offer unparalleled benefits in restoring health, faith, and inner peace.
In this blog, we explore 7 powerful ways Hijama and Ruqya help revive the Sunnah of healing and why they remain as relevant today as they were over 1,400 years ago.
1. Upholding the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recommended hijama on numerous occasions, describing it as one of the best remedies for various ailments. Ruqya, similarly, is deeply rooted in his teachings — involving Qur’anic recitations for healing and protection.
Hadith: “The best of remedies you have is Hijama.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
By practicing hijama sunnah healing and ruqya therapy, we are not only addressing our health concerns but also reviving a noble Sunnah — turning every session into an act of worship and obedience.
2. Providing Natural, Side-Effect-Free Healing
Unlike synthetic medications, hijama and ruqya work naturally with the body and soul. Hijama draws out toxins, stimulates blood circulation, and balances bodily functions, while Ruqya addresses emotional and spiritual imbalances without harmful chemicals.
Benefits of Hijama in this regard:
Detoxification of blood
Improved blood flow
Enhanced immunity
Benefits of Ruqya in this regard:
Relief from anxiety and depression
Protection from evil eye and sihr (black magic)
Spiritual grounding
3. Strengthening Faith Through Healing
Healing is not just about physical recovery — it is also about spiritual renewal. Both hijama and ruqya reconnect a believer to Allah by acknowledging Him as the ultimate Healer (Ash-Shafi).
When one undergoes hijama sunnah healing, they are consciously following the Prophet ﷺ’s advice. Similarly, ruqya therapy involves reciting Qur’anic verses and supplications, which increases one’s connection with Allah.
4. Addressing Both Physical & Spiritual Ailments Together
Most modern treatments separate physical and mental health from spiritual wellbeing. However, prophetic medicine treats the human being as a whole entity — body, mind, and soul interconnected.
At Serene Hijama & Ruqya, a person suffering from chronic pain may receive hijama for physical relief, while ruqya helps address spiritual causes that could be contributing to the illness.
5. Offering a Sunnah-Based Preventative Approach
Prophetic medicine is not only about treating diseases but also preventing them. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged regular hijama as a preventative health measure. Likewise, ruqya can be performed even when one is healthy, as a shield against unseen harms.
Preventative benefits include:
Strengthening the immune system
Reducing the risk of heart and blood pressure issues
Shielding from spiritual attacks
6. Promoting Mental & Emotional Wellbeing
An often-overlooked benefit of hijama sunnah healing and ruqya therapy is the impact on mental health. Hijama can release muscle tension and improve sleep quality, while Ruqya can alleviate fear, sadness, and obsessive thoughts.
This dual benefit is especially important in today’s fast-paced world where stress and anxiety are on the rise.
7. Connecting the Community to Prophetic Traditions
Every time a Muslim chooses hijama or ruqya over purely modern treatments, they strengthen the link between past and present — passing down these healing traditions to the next generation.
By keeping these Sunnah practices alive, we ensure that prophetic medicine continues to benefit Muslims for centuries to come.
