Best Duas for Headaches or Migraine Pain Relief<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Allah has placed a cure for every illness \u2014 so a cure is something you go and look for. The Prophet \ufdfa was himself treated for shaqiqah<\/em>, a one-sided headache. Take the medicine on time, and recite the dua for pain relief. They are one act, not two.<\/p>

What is the best dua for a headache?<\/strong> Place your right hand on the painful spot, say Bismillah<\/em> three times, then recite seven times: A’udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir<\/em> \u2014 “I seek refuge in Allah and in His Power from the evil of what I find and what I fear” (Sahih Muslim 2202). Recite it alongside medical treatment, never instead of it.<\/p>

    Allah Has Placed a Cure \u2014 So Go and Find It<\/h2>

    Walk into almost any Muslim hospital and this verse is on the wall:<\/p>

    \u0648\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u064e\u0631\u0650\u0636\u0652\u062a\u064f \u0641\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0646\u0650<\/p>

    Wa idha maridtu fahuwa yashfin<\/p>

    “And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.” (Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:80)<\/p><\/blockquote>

    Look at how Ibrahim (peace be upon him) speaks. The illness, he attributes to himself. The healing, to Allah. Imam As-Sa’di calls this pure adab<\/em>. The doctor is a means. The tablet is a means. The Healer is One.<\/p>

    And that cure is meant to be chased. There is no disease Allah created except that He created its treatment. When the Companions asked outright whether to use medicine, the Prophet \ufdfa answered:<\/p>

    “Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease, namely old age.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5678 \u00b7 Sunan Abi Dawud 3855)<\/p><\/blockquote>

    Going to a doctor is not a gap in your faith. It is the Sunnah.<\/p>

    The Prophet \ufdfa Had a One-Sided Headache<\/h2>

    This is the part almost every article misses. And it settles the whole argument.<\/p>

    \u0627\u062d\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0645\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u064a\u064f\u0651 \ufdfa \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0631\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0633\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0645\u064f\u062d\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0645\u064c \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0634\u064e\u0642\u0650\u064a\u0642\u064e\u0629\u064d \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e\u062a\u0652 \u0628\u0650\u0647\u0650<\/p>

    “The Prophet was cupped on his head while in ihram, because of a shaqiqah he had.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5700\u20135701)<\/p><\/blockquote>

    Now look at that word. Shaqiqah<\/em> comes from the root meaning to split in half. Pain in one half of the head \u2014 and it is the exact word Arabic still uses today for migraine.<\/p>

    So the Sunnah already names the condition. And in the same narration, the Prophet \ufdfa takes a physical treatment<\/strong> for it. Not dua alone.<\/p>

    If anyone tells you that reaching for medicine shows weak tawakkul<\/em>, this narration answers them.<\/p>

    \"dua-for-headache-and-migraine-relief\"<\/p>

    The Duas to Recite While the Medicine Works<\/h2>

    Take your medication at the first sign. Then, while it works, recite.<\/p>

    1. Hand on the Pain<\/h3>

    Say Bismillah<\/em> three times, then this seven times:<\/p>

    \u0623\u064e\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0630\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0642\u064f\u062f\u0652\u0631\u064e\u062a\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0634\u064e\u0631\u0650\u0651 \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u062c\u0650\u062f\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0627\u0630\u0650\u0631\u064f<\/p>

    A’udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir<\/p>

    “I seek refuge in Allah and in His Power from the evil of what I find and what I fear.” (Sahih Muslim 2202)<\/p><\/blockquote>

    2. The Dua for the Sick<\/h3>

    \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0633\u0650\u060c \u0623\u064e\u0630\u0652\u0647\u0650\u0628\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0633\u064e\u060c \u0627\u0634\u0652\u0641\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u062a\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0641\u0650\u064a\u060c \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0634\u0650\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0627 \u0634\u0650\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0624\u064f\u0643\u064e\u060c \u0634\u0650\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064b \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u063a\u064e\u0627\u062f\u0650\u0631\u064f \u0633\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0645\u064b\u0627<\/p>

    Allahumma Rabban-nas, adhhibil-ba’s, ishfi Antash-Shafi, la shifa’a illa shifa’uk, shifa’an la yughadiru saqama<\/p>

    “O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and cure. You are the One who cures. There is no cure except Your cure \u2014 a cure that leaves no illness behind.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5675)<\/p><\/blockquote>

    Sit with that middle line for a second. There is no cure except Your cure. The tablet is the means. The cure is His.<\/p>

    3. Jibril’s Ruqyah<\/h3>

    For ruqyah for headache, and for every harm:<\/p>

    \u0628\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0645\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0642\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0634\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0621\u064d \u064a\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064e\u060c \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0634\u064e\u0631\u0650\u0651 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u064d \u0623\u064e\u0648\u0652 \u0639\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0646\u0650 \u062d\u064e\u0627\u0633\u0650\u062f\u064d\u060c \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f \u064a\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064e\u060c \u0628\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0645\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0642\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064e<\/p>

    Bismillahi arqika min kulli shay’in yu’dhika, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘ayni hasid, Allahu yashfik, bismillahi arqik<\/p>

    “In the name of Allah I perform ruqyah for you, from everything that harms you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May Allah cure you.” (Sahih Muslim 2186)<\/p><\/blockquote>

    4. Three More From the Sunnah<\/h3>
