Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration between Islamic medicine and education in the practice of ruqyah in Ponorogo. Until now, ruqyah has been perceived solely as a method of spiritual healing through reciting verses from the Qur'an and special prayers. However, the results of this study show that there is another dimension that is educational in nature, so that ruqyah not only serves as therapy but also as Islamic education. This study uses a qualitative case study approach, focusing on the ruqyah practices of Jam'iyyah Ruqyah Aswaja (JRA) Batoro Katong Ponorogo. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings show that ruqyah has a dual function: first, as a means of healing for people experiencing medical, non-medical, or psychological disorders; second, as an instrument of Islamic education that instills the values of faith, worship, and morals in patients. The integration of these two functions shows that ruqyah can be positioned as a holistic religious practice, combining therapeutic and pedagogical aspects. This research contributes theoretically to the discourse on Islamic education and offers a new perspective on the integration of ruqyah as both a form of treatment and Islamic education.
