Articles
The patient’s oasis
Short readings for the hard days.
Eight short pieces on patience, du‘ā and hope — for the middle of a long treatment, when the heart needs water.
Do not despair when the answer to your du‘ā is slow
Ibn al-Jawzī on the delayed answer: why the withholding may be the kinder gift, and what to do while you wait at the door.
Happiness rests on three things: gratitude, patience, repentance
Ibn al-Qayyim’s celebrated passage from al-Wābil al-Sayyib: the servant’s happiness rests on gratitude when given, patience when tried, and repentance when he sins.
Why Allah lets His enemies afflict His friends
Ibn al-Qayyim’s answer from Shifā’ al-‘Alīl: the wisdoms in Allah giving His enemies rein over His friends, and why taklīf itself is a mercy.
Ten ways to find patience in a trial
Ten things Ibn al-Qayyim says to hold before the eyes in a trial, from seeing its reward to seeing how Allah raises His servant through it.
The same trial is mercy for one and loss for another — the difference is where it turns your heart
Ibn al-Qayyim’s rule: the same trial is mercy for the one it returns to Allah, and loss for the one it drives further away.
Three things that make patience easier
Ibn al-Qayyim’s three helps to patience: keep the reward in view, await the breeze of relief, and shrink the affliction by counting blessings.
Why hardship comes first and ease after
Ibn al-Qayyim, in Badā’i‘ al-Fawā’id, on why commands and trials press hard at first and lighten after, and what the wise person does at the start of a trial.
Stay at the niche of repentance
Ibn al-Jawzī’s address to the one whose trial has outlasted his repentance: recompense has its season, so stay at the prayer-niche of turning back.
Questions answered
Real questions, answered.
From real consultations — honest answers, kept with our medical-first note where a question touches illness.
Reader questions: “Is this ‘ayn, sihr — or something else?”
Five real letters from 2016 — low mood, a stuck family, self-envy, weeping at al-Mā’idah, a long unravelling — with the raqi’s answers and our medical notes.
Reader questions: voices, possession, and what happens at death
Reader letters on a voice heard since childhood, whether possession ends at death, and a wife’s frightening episodes — with the answers given and our medical notes.
Reader questions: long illness, hospitals, and where ruqyah fits
Reader letters about serious diagnosed disease — kidney failure, multiple sclerosis — where ruqyah belongs alongside the hospital, never instead of it.
Reader questions: family strain, and whether helping the afflicted can harm you
Two reader letters: a painful family triangle answered with fiqh and counsel, and whether advising an afflicted sister can rebound on the adviser.
