Abstract

This study aims to analyze ulama perspectives on prayer water use based on fiqh studies and Thibbun Nabawi, explore medical personnel views on prayer water potential as complementary therapy, and identify convergence points between religious and medical approaches in using prayer water for healing. The study employed a qualitative approach with exploratory study design. Findings show significant convergence between religious and medical perspectives. Ulama provide theological foundation through QS Al-Anbiya verse 30 and Thibbun Nabawi practices, positioning prayer water as wasilah in seeking healing efforts. Medical personnel acknowledge placebo effects and psychological dimensions of prayer water through psychoneuroimmunology mechanisms. Both perspectives agree that belief and positive suggestion play important roles in healing, with prayer water functioning as complementary therapy that does not replace primary medical treatment. This integration opens opportunities for developing holistic healthcare models that accommodate spiritual values without neglecting evidence-based medicine principles.

Review

This study presents a compelling and timely exploration into the synergy between medical science and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) concerning the use of prayer water for healing, specifically within the context of Sumedang Utara. The authors have set out to achieve a comprehensive understanding by analyzing ulama perspectives grounded in Fiqh and Thibbun Nabawi, alongside the views of medical personnel regarding prayer water's potential as a complementary therapy. The qualitative, exploratory design is appropriate for an initial investigation into such a complex, culturally sensitive, and interdisciplinary topic, promising insights into how spiritual practices integrate with modern healthcare paradigms. The core strength of this research lies in its identification of a "significant convergence" between religious and medical perspectives. The abstract clearly articulates how ulama provide a theological basis through Quranic verses and Prophetic medicine, positioning prayer water as a *wasilah* (means) in the healing process. Concurrently, medical personnel acknowledge the scientifically recognized placebo effect and the psychological dimensions, explaining these through psychoneuroimmunology mechanisms. Crucially, both disciplines agree on the vital role of belief and positive suggestion, reinforcing prayer water's function as a complementary therapy that explicitly does not supersede primary medical treatment. This nuanced finding is a significant contribution to understanding culturally embedded health practices. Ultimately, this study lays important groundwork for developing more holistic healthcare models that respect and integrate spiritual values without compromising evidence-based medical principles. The findings suggest a practical framework for how traditional spiritual practices, such as the use of prayer water, can coexist constructively with modern medicine, potentially enhancing patient well-being through psychological comfort and a sense of spiritual agency. Future research could expand on the practical implementation of such integrated models, measure patient outcomes, and explore the generalizability of these convergences beyond the specific context of Sumedang Utara. The paper offers valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare providers seeking to foster culturally sensitive and patient-centered care.
