The practice of healing using Ruqyah Shar'iyyah during the time of Prophet Muhammad was a form of spiritual treatment based on Islamic teachings to address various types of illnesses, both physical and spiritual. This healing method involves the recitation of specific verses from the Quran, such as Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, Al-Nas, and Ayat al-Kursi, which are believed to have healing effects and provide protection from the disturbances of jinn, magic, as well as various physical and mental ailments. In this study, the author examines the practices performed by Prophet Muhammad and his companions in treating illnesses and the role of specific recitations in the healing process. Emphasis is placed on the treatment method through recitation practiced by the Prophet when he fell ill, and how the companions also adopted this method in treating patients. Hopefully, this study will provide a deeper understanding of the importance of Ruqyah Shar'iyyah in treating illnesses in a lawful manner that aligns with Islamic law.
