Kharish meaning itching or skin irritation is a common physical discomfort that can affect any part of the body. It may be caused by a skin condition, allergy, dryness, or an internal health issue. Whatever the cause, Islam teaches that every form of pain and illness should be met with patience, prayer, and trust in Allah.
The concept of seeking healing through dua is deeply rooted in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He taught his companions specific supplications to recite during illness, pain, and physical discomfort. Kharish ki dua is not a single fixed prayer unique to itching alone, but rather a set of powerful, authentic duas from the Sunnah that are recited for any bodily harm or pain and skin kharish is no exception.
Islam does not ask a believer to abandon medical treatment. Rather, it encourages both dua and medical care together. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it.”
Reciting kharish ki dua while also seeking proper medical help is the complete Islamic approach to healing.

Kharish Ki Dua Ubqari – Quranic Remedy
Kharish ki dua Ubqari refers to the Quranic and Prophetic remedies shared in the well-known Islamic magazine and platform Ubqari, founded by Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood. The most commonly mentioned remedy in Ubqari for skin kharish and other ailments is the recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha as Ruqyah.
Surah Al-Fatiha (Arabic):
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۞ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ۞ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۞ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ۞ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ۞ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۞ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ ۞
Method: Recite Surah Al-Fatiha seven times with full focus and sincerity. After each recitation, blow gently over the affected area. This practice is established in the Sunnah, as the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ used Surah Al-Fatiha as a healing recitation.
The Ubqari tradition also encourages daily recitation of the three Quls (Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, Surah An-Naas) in the morning and evening as a protective shield against illness and harm.
When to Read Kharish Ki Dua
There is no fixed time restriction on reciting kharish ki dua. However, the following situations are most appropriate:

- Morning and evening — include healing duas in your daily morning and evening adhkar for protection
- Before and after medical treatment — pair your medical care with dua for complete healing
- At night before sleeping — recite the three Quls and blow over your body as the Prophet ﷺ regularly did
- During wudu (ablution) — making dua after wudu is a time when supplications are especially accepted
