This four-sided charm is to be written with the verses appearing as follows:
1 st side:
Sad: By the Qur'an, full of admonition: (this is the truth). But the unbelievers (are steeped) in self-glorification and separatism. (Surah Sad : 1-2)
2nd side:
Qaf: By the glorious Qur'an (thou art God's Messenger) (Surah Qaf: 1)
3rd side:
And a sign for them is the night. We withdraw therefrom the day, and behold they are plunged in darkness. (Surah Yasin : 37)
4th side:
Kaf. Ha. Ya. 'Ain. Sad. Ha. Mim. (Surah Maryam : 1) (Surah al-Shura : 1) That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. (Surah al-Mursalat : 35).
Then a swallow is to be placed on the village road and the following verse recited: Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; (Surah al-Furqan : 1)
The swallow is then beaten until it is dead or flies away.
