Q & A

What is 'Ruqyah' in the context of Islamic healing?

Ruqyah refers to a healing practice involving specific recitations or prayers (mantras) derived from the Quran and Hadith. These recitations are believed to provide spiritual healing and protection against various physical and psychological ailments.

What distinguishes lawful (Shari'ah) Ruqyah from unlawful (Shirk) Ruqyah?

Lawful Ruqyah (Ruqyah Shari'ah) adheres to the Quran and Hadith without invoking anything besides Allah for healing. Unlawful Ruqyah (Ruqyah Shirk) involves practices that may invoke jinn, idols, or other deities besides Allah, which violates the principle of Tawhid (oneness of God).

What did the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) say about the importance of a healthy heart?

The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) emphasized that if the heart (qalb) is healthy, the entire body will be healthy. Conversely, if the heart is corrupt, the body will suffer. This highlights the connection between spiritual health and physical well-being.

How does the Quran act as a healing source according to the lecture?

The Quran is described as both a guide (Hudan) and a healing source (Shifa) for the believers. It is said to cure ailments of the heart and mind, addressing both physical and psychological illnesses.

What is the significance of the Hadith related to the heart and the body?

The Hadith indicates that the heart is the central organ in the body: if it is in good health, the entire body will be healthy. It emphasizes the role of the heart in both physical and spiritual well-being, with the heart reflecting the overall condition of the body.

Why is it important to distinguish between Ruqyah Shari'ah and Ruqyah Shirk?

It is essential to distinguish between Ruqyah Shari'ah and Ruqyah Shirk to ensure that the healing practices align with the teachings of Islam and do not involve actions that conflict with the faith, such as invoking powers other than Allah, which could lead to disbelief (kufr).

What did the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) demonstrate through his practice of Ruqyah?

The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) demonstrated the use of Ruqyah through specific Quranic verses, such as Surah Al-Fatiha, Ayat Al-Kursi, and other selected verses, to cure ailments. This serves as a model for how Ruqyah should be practiced in accordance with Shari'ah.

How does Ruqyah Shari'ah address both physical and psychological issues?

Ruqyah Shari'ah addresses both physical and psychological issues by reciting Quranic verses that aim to heal the heart and mind. This includes curing emotional distress (like anxiety and fear) and physical ailments by invoking the healing power of Allah.

What is the danger of engaging in 'Ruqyah' practices on platforms like TikTok?

The danger of engaging in Ruqyah practices on platforms like TikTok lies in the potential spread of incorrect or non-Islamic healing methods, such as using amulets, invoking jinn, or relying on practices that involve shirk. This can mislead believers into participating in practices that contradict Islamic teachings.

What role does faith play in the practice of Ruqyah?

Faith is central to the practice of Ruqyah. It is believed that Ruqyah will be effective only when done with full trust in Allah's power to heal. The recitations themselves are viewed as tools for invoking Allah's mercy and intervention, and a believer's faith strengthens the impact of the healing process.
