When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill, it wasn't a physician who came to treat him—it was the archangel Jibril (Gabriel), the same celestial being who brought divine revelation. What Jibril taught in that moment was a healing formula so powerful, so complete, that it has been used by Muslims for over 1,400 years to treat every form of illness, harm, and spiritual attack.
This technique is direct, simple, and can be used by anyone—on yourself or others—starting right now.
The narration gives us a glimpse into this profound moment:
Jibril came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Muhammad, you are ill." He said: 'Yes.' He said: "In the Name of God, I perform healing for you, from every illness that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye, may God heal you. In the Name of God, I perform healing for you." [Sunan Ibn Majah #3523]
Notice what Jibril did: He didn't bring medicine. He didn't perform a complex ritual. He recited specific words with intention and invoked God's healing power directly. This is the essence of Islamic energy healing—using divine names and sacred formulas to channel healing force.
Let's break down exactly what Jibril said, because each phrase serves a specific healing function:
Purpose: This establishes the source of healing power. You're not healing through your own strength—you're becoming a channel for divine healing energy by invoking God's name.
Energy Principle: When you say "Bismillah" (In God's Name), you're opening a direct connection to the Source. This is like plugging into the ultimate power supply. Everything that follows is charged with this divine frequency.
Purpose: This creates comprehensive protection and healing. You're not targeting just one symptom—you're addressing everything causing harm.
What This Covers:
Purpose: Protection from human harm—jealousy, hatred, negative intentions, gossip, curses, or ill-will directed at you by others.
Energy Principle: Other people's negative emotions create energetic attacks. Envy, in particular, is recognized in Islamic tradition as having tangible harmful effects. This phrase neutralizes that energy.
Purpose: Specific protection against the evil eye (nazar/hasad)—one of the most common causes of unexplained illness, bad luck, and blocked success.
Why This Matters: The evil eye is real. When someone looks at your blessings with intense envy, it creates a destructive energetic charge. This phrase deflects and neutralizes it.
Purpose: The direct invocation of divine healing. This is the heart of the formula—calling on God as Ash-Shafi (The Healer) to restore wholeness.
Purpose: The formula is bookended with Bismillah, sealing the healing work. Repetition reinforces and locks in the protective and healing energy.
1. Find a quiet moment when you can focus without distraction
2. Place your hand over the area of pain, illness, or discomfort (or over your heart if it's emotional/spiritual)
3. Recite the formula slowly and with presence, in Arabic if you can, or in English:
"In the Name of God, I perform healing for myself, from every illness that is harming me, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May God heal me. In the Name of God, I perform healing for myself."
4. Repeat 3, 7, or 11 times (odd numbers are traditionally powerful in Islamic practice)
5. Visualize healing light flowing from your hand into your body, neutralizing all harm
This is especially powerful for parents healing their children, spouses caring for each other, or anyone helping a sick loved one.
1. Have the person sit or lie comfortably
2. Place your hand on their head, chest, or the affected area
3. Recite the formula on their behalf:
"In the Name of God, I perform healing for you, from every illness that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May God heal you. In the Name of God, I perform healing for you."
4. You can also blow gently on the person after recitation, as the Prophet ﷺ would do
5. Repeat several times with sincere intention for their healing
This isn't something a human invented—it came directly from Jibril, one of the highest angels, who has direct access to divine knowledge. When you use this formula, you're using celestial healing technology.
Modern medicine often treats symptoms. This formula addresses the spiritual and energetic root causes of illness: negative energy from others, spiritual attacks, and disconnection from divine healing power.
Notice Jibril didn't say "I heal your headache" or "I heal your specific condition." He said "from everything that is harming you." This makes the formula applicable to any and all forms of distress.
Use this formula every morning as a protective shield for the day ahead:
Use it immediately when:
Make it part of your daily healing protocol for:
Place your hand with warmth and compassion. Touch itself is healing, and when combined with sacred words, it becomes a powerful transmission of healing energy.
Recite the formula over water (repeat 7 or more times), then drink it or use it to wash. Water absorbs and carries the vibrational frequency of the words.
This formula works beautifully with:
For serious conditions, repeat the formula many times:
Many people underestimate the evil eye, but Islamic tradition—and human experience across cultures—confirms it's real. When someone looks at your health, success, relationships, or children with intense envy, it creates a harmful energetic effect.
Signs you may be affected by the evil eye:
Jibril's formula specifically addresses this, making it one of the most important protective practices you can maintain.
Think about the significance: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)—the most beloved to God—was ill, an angel came to heal him. And that angel didn't keep the healing formula secret. It was preserved, transmitted, and given to us.
This means you have access to the same healing technique that was used on the Prophet himself. The same words. The same energy. The same divine connection.
This is your inheritance as someone on the path of Islamic healing. Use it. Teach it to your family. Make it part of your daily life.
Start today: The next time you feel unwell, stressed, or under attack, place your hand over your heart and recite Jibril's formula. Feel the shift. Experience the protection. Know that you're being healed by the same divine power that sent an angel to comfort the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
This is healing that works on every level—body, mind, heart, and soul. This is the gift of angel-taught medicine.
Before Nur Healing, I felt disconnected from my faith. The stress of everyday life was overwhelming, and I couldn't find peace in my prayers. Khalid's gentle guidance and the healing meditations have transformed my life. I now feel a deep sense of calm and spiritual connection that I never thought possible.
