Abstract

The concept of syifa' (healing) occupies a significant place in the Quran and remains highly relevant to contemporary discussions on spirituality, mental well-being, and holistic health. Although the Quran explicitly presents itself as a source of syifa', Muslim exegetes have offered diverse interpretations regarding the nature, scope, and function of healing within the Quranic framework. This article aims to reconstruct the concept of syifa' in the Quran through a comparative analysis of the interpretations of M. Quraish Shihab in Tafsir Al-Mishbah and Wahbah al-Zuhaili in Tafsir Al-Munir. Employing a qualitative approach with content analysis and the tafsir muqaran (comparative exegesis) method, the study examines Quranic verses containing the term syifa' alongside relevant exegetical and scholarly sources. The analysis reveals that both exegetes regard Allah as the ultimate source of healing and conceptualize syifa' as a comprehensive process encompassing physical, psychological, spiritual, and moral dimensions. However, their interpretive emphases differ: Quraish Shihab highlights the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of healing, whereas Wahbah al-Zuhaili places greater emphasis on its normative and educational dimensions. These findings demonstrate that syifa' represents a holistic and integrative Quranic model of healing, contributing to the growing scholarship on Quranic healing and offering a conceptual framework for strengthening spirituality, holistic health, and human well-being in contemporary society.
