Surah Al-Baqarah For Curing Sihr

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

Surah Al-Baqarah is the longest chapter of the Quran, it is the second chapter of the holy book. Our Prophet (saw) told us the many benefits of the chapter itself and the individuals verses against Shaytan and is army.

There are narration which tells us to recite the whole chapter to protect ourselves from shaytan, reciting the whole chapter every three days enough to protect our homes.

The chapter contains within it certain verses that are powerful against jinns and their evil, the most powerful verse is Ayatul Kurshi (255) – we all know the benefits of this verse of the Quran.

There is also the final two verses (286-287), a narration says that whoever recites these verses every night they will be suffice for them.

These is also verses 102, which tell us about the history of sihr and where it came from, that is Shaytan taught it to people, this verse also tells about sihr done to destroy a marriage and relationships.

There are also other verses which one can highlight – as can be seen the chapters contains various references to sihr and evil jinns , so the chapter collectively gives us the tools to protect ourselves from the evil of the unseen world. Reciting the chapter provides us with cure & protection against any unseen illness caused by shaytan and his army.

How to recite Surah Al-Baqarah effectively: – first with any divine remedy you get out of it what you go with it, so first step will always be preparation, make sure you have repented from all sins, you making an effort to be a person of sound character and make sure your income is halal. This is the starting point.

It is always good practice to do some optional prays, such as Salatul Hajat and / or Salatul Taubah – at the end of the day it is with Allah (swt) assistance we will get cured so one should get in a practice in doing voluntary prays.

Next step we recommend is to do some dhikr, such as:

The above one should get in to a habit of doing on a daily basis, it purifies the heart, soul and the mind.

Now make intention you want to destroy all the evil that has afflict you / family, this would be all the jinns, the evil eye, all the sihr, all the evil whisphers (waswas) and all their evil web & network are destroy as well, you should make the intention wide as possible.

Now recite the chapter of the Quran, starting with Surah Fatiha, ideally you want to finish it in one sitting, some will struggle to do this but as you recite the chapter regularly you will get more better and faster at reciting the chapter.

I would recommend to also recite Surah Yasin and Surah Jinn THREE times and the Quls at least three times, once you have finish reciting Surah Al-Baqarah just to give that bit extra.

If you can do this every day that would be ideal, however doing it regularly will be suffice Insh’Allah.

Once finish your recitation you can blow into a bottle of water to drink and wash with, this will added benefit. Some people have been known to spray recited water around the house to ward off the evil spirits, another good practice one can do.

TIP: additional thing you can do is to play Surah Al-Baqarah in the house, these days we have many options to do this, via our phones using youtube or other dedicated apps but also you may wish to buy a Quran Player, which have highlighted here.
