Does the Qur'an differ in its effect on the sick patient?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the Qur'an differ in its effect on the sick patient?

Answer:
There is no doubt that there are specific verses and surahs for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), such as the two Mu'awwidhat (protective chapters). One contains seeking refuge from sorcery, and the other contains seeking refuge from the evil eye and envy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that the worst of the envious is the one who envies when he envies; this is a great ruqyah. If it is recited over the patient with a good intention and presence of heart from both the one performing the ruqyah and the one receiving it, it is necessary for both the one performing the ruqyah and the one receiving it, for Allah will make it beneficial.
