Takeaways

• 😀 Rukiah based on Tawhid is a therapeutic practice rooted in Islamic teachings, particularly in Tasawuf (Sufism).
• 😀 In medical science, treatments focus on biological dynamics and physical interventions, not involving spiritual or religious elements.
• 😀 Psychology, especially in its materialistic approach, addresses mental and emotional aspects, often neglecting spiritual dimensions.
• 😀 The goal of Rukiah therapy is not necessarily physical healing but to elevate the spiritual level, achieving tranquility and closeness to Allah.
• 😀 Rukiah therapy integrates various healing traditions, including Islamic, psychology, Eastern medicine, and spiritual practices like hypnotherapy and acupuncture.
• 😀 Tasawuf (Sufism) combines and transcends these therapies, focusing on the soul and the journey towards achieving a higher level of spirituality.
• 😀 The connection between physical, mental, and spiritual health is crucial, and therapies should ideally consider all aspects together (biopsychosocial).
• 😀 In Tasawuf, the methods aim to address the body (Syari'ah), the mind (Iman), and the spirit (Ihsan), ultimately striving for Ma'rifah (divine knowledge).
• 😀 Rukiah therapy in Sufism does not merely aim to expel spirits or heal the body but aims to elevate the 'breath' (spiritual state) to a higher level of tranquility.
• 😀 True Rukiah therapy seeks to remove the ego and align the practitioner with divine will, regardless of whether the physical symptoms improve or not.
• 😀 The ultimate goal of Sufi healing is the attainment of 'fana'—a state of union with the divine, where one dissolves into God's presence, transcending individual identity.

The script mentions several types of therapy, including medical therapy, psychological therapy, consciousness therapy (like hypnotherapy), traditional Eastern medicine, and Sufism-based therapy (Ruqyah based on Tawhid).

How does the script distinguish between different types of therapy?

The script distinguishes therapies based on their object of treatment, their methods, and their foundational principles. For example, medical therapy focuses on the physical body (jasad), psychological therapy addresses the mental aspect, and Sufism-based therapy (Ruqyah) is focused on the spiritual or metaphysical aspects.

What is the fundamental basis of medical science according to the script?

The script explains that the fundamental basis of medical science is biology, specifically Newtonian and material biology, which deals with the physical and visible aspects of the human body and its biological functions.

What is the role of religion in medical science as described in the script?

The script clarifies that medical science itself does not include religious teachings or consider the influence of religion on health. While doctors may be religious, the science of medicine does not incorporate religious concepts into its practices.

How is psychology related to Ruqyah according to the script?

Psychology, which deals with the mental and emotional aspects of human beings, overlaps with Ruqyah, especially in areas like mental healing and self-awareness. However, Ruqyah transcends the purely mental or psychological and incorporates spiritual and metaphysical dimensions.

What is the importance of understanding Sufism in the context of therapy?

Understanding Sufism is crucial because Sufism integrates all the therapeutic aspects mentioned—such as physical (body), mental (psychological), and spiritual (Ruh) healing—into a holistic approach. It provides a comprehensive framework for healing that goes beyond material or psychological therapies.

What is the ultimate goal of Ruqyah as described in the script?

The ultimate goal of Ruqyah, as described in the script, is not simply physical healing or curing diseases, but to elevate the 'level of breath' (nafas), achieve tranquility, and develop a deeper connection with Allah. The focus is on spiritual development rather than the mere removal of symptoms.

How does the script differentiate between Ruqyah and other types of therapy, like hypnotherapy or traditional medicine?

The script emphasizes that while therapies like hypnotherapy or traditional medicine focus on specific aspects such as consciousness, mental states, or bodily balance (like 'Chi' in Eastern medicine), Ruqyah focuses on spiritual transformation, aiming to align one's soul and actions with divine will and increase closeness to Allah.

Why does the script mention 'fana' in the context of Ruqyah and Sufism?

'Fana' refers to the concept of self-annihilation or the dissolution of the ego in Sufism. The script mentions it as the highest spiritual goal in Ruqyah therapy, where the individual merges with the divine presence, transcending worldly attachments and ego, and achieving a state of spiritual purity.
