The Qur'an does not heal by itself, rather it is a means of healing that Allah has made it to be. The conditions for are that it must be with the words of Allah or His names and attributes, and in the Arabic language, along with the belief that Ruqyah does not affect by itself, but only by the permission of Allah Almighty.
