SELF-RUQYAH PROGRAMME

To improve the physical, mental and spiritual state of the afflicted person, this is a very simple self ruqyah programme to be followed by the afflicted person and their immediate family members on a consistent basis until all symptoms have cleared up:

1. Pray Salah 5 times a day on time everyday

2. Read the Morning and Evening Adhkar (Dua) everyday from the small dua book or app called ‘Fortress of the Muslim’ or ‘Hisnul Muslim’ or ‘The key to a successful day’.

Ruqyah refers to the healing method based on the Quran and hadith through the recitation of the Quran, seeking of refuge, remembrance and supplication that is used as a means of treating sickness and other problems, by reading verses of the Quran, the names and attributes of Allah, or by using the prayers in Arabic or in a language the meaning of which is understood. The use of ruqyah as a method of treatment is popular among the Islamic alternative healing practitioners. This method of ruqyah is based on the recommendations and practices carried out by the Prophet (pbuh) for self-treatment or to help his Sahabah and others. Through analysis of the inductive, deductive and historical approaches, this article aims to explain the views of Imam al-Bukhari in relation to aspects of ruqyah and its use in the treatment of disease by analysing some chapters translated (tarjamah al-bab) by Imam al-Bukhari in the Kitab al-Tibb. The results show that the use of ruqyah in the treatment of diseases refers to the discussion of the seven chapters translated (tarjamah al-bab) on three main issues: [1] The use of ruqyah from the Quran, [2] Conditions in using a ruqyah, and [3] The types of ruqyah recommended by the Prophet.
