Within the tradition, ruqyah is believed to expel or repel harmful spiritual entities (such as jinn, ghosts, or devils) from a possessed person, object, or location, restoring spiritual and physical well-being.
Ruqyah (often termed ruqyah shar'iyyah in common discourse) functions in Islamic contexts as a repertoire of recitational and supplicatory practices aimed at addressing harmful spiritual influences. The practice is grounded in a cosmology that recognizes jinn, devils, and spirits as capable of affecting humans and places. Exorcists who perform ruqyah are commonly called raqi. Contemporary practice is often mediated through oral and audiovisual recitations; archival listings of practitioners and playlists indicate living exemplars of the practice, though the supplied sources do not provide a canonical or uniform procedural text. The sources consulted emphasize the role of ruqyah as a recognized form of Islamic exorcism but do not supply detailed prescriptions about exact words, sequences, or required physical implements.
