Responding to the Adhan and Supplication After It
Context & Islamic Significance
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When the call to prayer is announced, Satan flees breaking wind loudly so that he cannot hear the call' (Sahih al-Bukhari 608, Sahih Muslim 389). Responding to the caller to prayer and reciting the supplication of Wasilah after the Adhan is a firmly established Sunnah practice that expels Satan and guarantees the Prophet's intercession (Sahih al-Bukhari 614).

Important Safety & Shariah Note
Ruqyah is a means of seeking Allah's protection and healing; it does not replace medical care. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for illnesses. Never wear amulets/talismans or visit fortune-tellers/sorcerers.
