What is the solution for the problem of a six-year-old Muslim girl who has been waking up terrified every day for four years, saying, "Get away from me, get away from me, he wants to eat"?
The cause of a frightening vision is Shaytan (Satan). The girl's father should perform Ruqyah on his daughter by reciting the Quran. This involves reciting Surat Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas three times, blowing (naft) and wiping with them over his daughter's body, and reciting Al-Fatiha and Ayatul-Kursi. He should also seek protection for her with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek protection for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn: "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous creature, and from every evil eye." He should also supplicate for her with the supplications established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), such as: "O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction. Grant healing, for You are the Healer. There is no healing but Your healing, a healing that leaves no sickness," and "In the name of Allah, I perform Ruqyah upon you from everything that harms you, from every soul or envious eye. May Allah heal you. In the name of Allah, I perform Ruqyah upon you."
