How can one reconcile the multitude of supplications (du'as) and remembrances (adhkar) and the recitation of surahs designated for specific needs (such as provision and marriage) with the obligatory religious duties (fara'id), and what is the optimal daily schedule for a Muslim woman that pleases Allah and leads to Paradise, and how can one remain close to Allah while desiring Ruqyah (Islamic exorcism) for protection from the evil eye, sorcery, and envy?
Sustenance is predetermined and decreed by Allah the Almighty before birth, and we have been commanded to strive in seeking it. There is no specific requirement to use particular ruqyahs (incantations) or adhkar (remembrances) for sustenance and marriage, for Allah provides for whom He wills without reckoning, and no soul will die until it has received its full sustenance. It is permissible to recite the Qur'an with the intention of ruqyah or seeking a permissible need, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged asking Allah through the Qur'an. Nevertheless, dedicating a specific surah for a particular need without a legal proof is considered an innovated bid'ah (heresy). It may also be impermissible to attribute the effect of certain verses to specific illnesses as their inherent property, unless there is proof. A program that combines learning, recitation, and the morning and evening adhkar established from the Prophet (peace be upon him) is recommended. The best recitations for ruqyah are Al-Fatiha, Ayatul-Kursi, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas.
