Konsep penyembuhan & terapi ruqyah dalam perubatan Islam : sorotan terhadap pemikiran perubatan Ibnu-Qayyim Al-Jauziyyah

Abstract

Science has always been a part and parcel of the Islamic civilization. However, there remain fundamental and epistemological differences between the concept of science in the Islamic perspective and to those perceived by the West. While the West has always maintained the valueless, objective, total empirical as well as secularized concept of science, Islam has viewed science as an instrument to find the ultimate truth (al-Haq) through investigation and exploration without the resentment towards spirituality and the added value of tauhidic paradigm which has always been the strength of the Islamic sciences. Thus with its holistic approach, Islamic sciences is able to serve as rahmatan lil ‘alamin. In accordance to the aspiration of the nation to be a developed and industrialized nation by the year 2020 inspired by the Islam Hadhari approach, the rediscovery and strengthening of science and technology from the Islamic perspective is vital of unparallel importance. Efforts has to be harnessed to put forward the idea of a scientific approach which could be promote global peace and tolerance, serve humanity and above all worship the true one God, Allah the AlMighty. It is time to honour the great Muslim scholars and scientists of the past and introspect into the future where Muslims could once again be at the helm of knowledge and wisdom which has for the past several millineas conquered by the West.
