Review

This article presents a compelling *living Qur'an* research, meticulously examining the practical application of *Ayat-ayat Syifa'* (healing verses) in *ruqyah* (spiritual exorcism/healing) rituals intended to counteract magic. Focusing on a specific case study involving Ustadz Muhammad Chudlori in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, the study employs a phenomenological perspective to unravel the real-world implementation of Qur'anic verses as a response to perceived supernatural afflictions. This focus on a contemporary, grassroots religious phenomenon offers valuable insights into how sacred texts are utilized for spiritual healing and social engagement, making a significant contribution to studies in religious practice and the sociology of religion. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, leveraging Max Weber's theory of social action as its primary analytical lens. Data collection involved direct observation and in-depth interviews, allowing the researcher to understand the on-the-ground dynamics of *ruqyah*. A key finding posits that both communal and individual *ruqyah* activities are best understood as *rasional instrumental* actions, characterized by specific goals and subjective meanings communicated among participants. The study identifies the primary objectives of *ruqyah* as a representation of the Al-Qur'an, a non-medical form of treatment, and a means to bring peace of mind to patients. Crucially, *ruqyah* also functions as a powerful medium for *dakwah* (religious proselytization), engaging patients throughout and beyond their healing journey. While the paper effectively documents the instrumental rationality and various functions of *ruqyah* within its specific context, a more expansive discussion on the subjective experiences and interpretative frameworks of the patients regarding "sihir" (magic) and their healing process could further strengthen its phenomenological claims. Despite this, the research makes a commendable contribution by empirically analyzing the contemporary utility of Qur'anic verses in spiritual healing. It not only illuminates local religious practices but also enhances our understanding of how religious texts are dynamically interpreted, enacted, and integrated into daily life for both individual well-being and broader social and religious aims, making it a relevant and insightful study for scholars and practitioners alike.
