YOGYAKARTA - Ruqyah or spiritual medicine in Islam has long been a trusted practice to deal with health problems, both physically and mentally. For those of you who are busy and congested, it is interesting that there is a way of ruqyah independently without the need for help from others.

This article comes as a practical guide for those of you who want to learn and practice self-sufficient ruqyah in accordance with the guidance of Islamic law.

Reporting from the NU Online page, in his book, Madza fi Sya'ban, Sayyid Muhammad bin Alawi Al-Maliki explained in detail about ruqyah procedures and readings that can be used to overcome various diseases, both physical and psychological.

Sayyid Muhammad highlighted the use of six surahs from the Qur'an as the main means in the practice of ruqyah, which is believed to have extensive healing power.

The ruqyah method described by Sayyid Muhammad not only considers the physical aspects of a disease, but also recognizes the importance of healing for non-physical disorders, such as mental problems.

Therefore, ruqyah in Islamic view functions double, namely as an effort to heal sports and as an effort to strengthen faith and spiritual relations with Allah SWT.

Reporting from the Al Manhaj page, when doing ruqyah for yourself, the first step is to put your hands on the area where the body hurts. Then, say "Bismillah" three times, followed by a prayer:

Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it, let's talk about it.

Meaning: "I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil I feel and I worry."

This prayer can be repeated up to seven times, especially when sweeping a sick area. Another alternative prayer is:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

"I take refuge in the glory of Allah and His power from the evil that I feel from this pain."

For pain that spreads throughout the body, blow both palms and pour them on the face. If the pain is localized, such as on the head, feet, or hands, read a prayer directly to the area.

The story of Muhammad bin Hathib Al Jumahi, whose hands were injured, shows how the Prophet SAW meruqyah with a light nose and strokes the wound while reading a prayer:

"Get rid of this disease, O Lord of man. Heal it, You are Healthy. There is no cure other than your healing, healing that does not leave the disease."

If the disease is not localized, such as mental disorders or chest tightness, ruqyah is done by reading prayers in front of sick people. The Prophet SAW also complained of illness by reading the letter Al-Fatihah.

In Islamic teachings, ruqyah is one of the methods of treatment that is believed to be able to cure various diseases. However, the question arises whether ruqyah is only limited to diseases that are explicitly mentioned in religious texts, or does it cover the spectrum of a wider disease?

Some hadiths say that ruqyah is effective for treating diseases caused by evil eyes ('ain), bite of venomous animals (humah), and manned wounds (namlah).

However, Imam An Nawawi, a prominent cleric, explained that the mention of these diseases in hadith did not limit the scope of ruqyah.

According to Imam An Nawawi, Rasulullah SAW only mentioned these diseases because the questions asked him were related to these diseases.

Rasulullah SAW emphasized that ruqyah can be used to treat other diseases outside of those mentioned in hadith. This is supported by the practice of Rasulullah SAW who perform ruqyah for various types of diseases.

Thus, it can be concluded that ruqyah is not only limited to certain diseases mentioned in religious text, but can also be used to treat various other types of diseases.
