For every disease there is a cure, and healing is in the hands of Allah. Allah may choose to cure the sick person or keep him afflicted as a trial and purification to expiate his sins. Demonic possession is a proven matter, and whoever is afflicted by it should seek treatment from righteous people, those who are people of the Qur'an. He should recite the Qur'an upon himself and his relatives, for it is a healing as stated in Surat Al-Isra. One must beware of charlatans and sorcerers, because Allah has not placed the healing of His Ummah in what He has forbidden to them.
