Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to examine the practice of ruqyah performed by the Jam'iyyah Ruqyah Aswaja (JRA) community in Samarinda, particularly in terms of the use of verses from the Qur'an as a method of spiritual healing. The focus of this study includes the process of selecting verses, the epistemological basis behind it, and the community's perception of the effectiveness of ruqyah. Using a qualitative approach, descriptive methods, and the Living Qur'an perspective, data was collected through interviews, direct observation, and documentary studies. The research findings indicate that JRA uses verses such as al-Fatihah, the Ayat al-Kursi, al-Falaq, an-Nas, and other thematic verses selected based on the relevance of their meanings to the type of illness, the reasons for their revelation (asbabun nuzul), and the empirical experiences of practitioners that have been tested (tajrib) and validated by scholars with authentic chains of transmission (sanad). The people of Samarinda generally accept ruqyah as an effective alternative method for healing both medical and non-medical illnesses. This finding reinforces the Qur'an's position as a source of spiritual solutions and opens opportunities for integrating ruqyah therapy into an Islamic value-based healthcare system.
