Treating Waswas, Anxiety and Distress with Ruqya and Dhikr

Practical steps from the Quran and Sunnah to ease waswas and anxiety — and when to see a psychiatrist.

Waswas and anxiety exhaust many people today. Islam offers powerful spiritual care that complements medicine.

Spiritual care

  • Seek refuge in Allah and do not follow the intrusive thoughts.
  • Morning, evening and bedtime adhkar.
  • Verses of tranquillity and self-ruqya.

Medical care

If anxiety or waswas affect your work, sleep or relationships for a long time, seeing a psychiatrist is necessary and does not contradict faith. Combining both is the best path.
