Abstract

Ruqyah is commonly understood merely as an Islamic ritual used to expel demons or jinn that disturb the body of Muslims similar to Exorcism in Catholicism. However, there are a lot of things related to both which are inappropriately known and caused misunderstandings ended with shirk. This article will discuss the concept of ruqyah in Islam comparatively with exorcism in Catholicism, as ruqyah is not only a religious ritual used to repel demons or jinn but also a form of Islamic medicine inherited from the Prophet Muhammad. Ruqyah is also classified as the Thibbun Nabawi, making it considered as a part of Sunnah. As such, Exorcism is the teachings of Jesus to the 12 Apostles. Ruqyah is done using Qur’anic verses by every Muslim, as it can be an option for Muslims in dealing with disasters in the form of pain either physical or meta-physical injury derived from the interference of Satan or Jinn. While in Exorcism, the practice can only be done by a few who have obtained the legality of the local bishop, so that the authenticity of this practice can be justified. Even so, there are still many ordinary Muslims and Catholics who do not know and even look for other solutions to the problem and even do shirk.

Abstract

The cross is a symbol that is well known among the public as a symbol ofChristianity. Every sect in Christianity has a distinctive cross that distinguishes onefrom another. The Catholic and Protestant crosses are distinguished by the presenceof a corpus or statue of Jesus hanging on it. Catholics use a corpus on their crosses,whereas Protestants are just plain crosses without any statues. Researchers will tracedeeper into the history of the cross in pre-Christian times who rejected the presenceof the symbol of the cross because this symbol was only attached to people whohad committed grave sins. So that the researcher will use a historical methodologywith an approach to the manuscript literature related to the cross. The results foundby researchers that the meaning of the cross for Catholics today is taken from themeaning of the Pagan people because most Catholic teachings have been influenceand interfered with by the teachings of Paganism. The meaning of the cross as asymbol of the resurrection and atonement for sins by Jesus is like the god Bacchusin Pagan. In addition, the use of the cross in Catholic religious rituals is not muchdifferent from the worship of Pagan gods who also use the cross. In fact, the cross isa symbol of the god Mithra or the sun god who was later transformed into a symbolof God’s love through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
