ABSTRACT
This article examines the reception of Surah al-Ikhlāṣ and al-Muʿawwidhatayn in Doa Syarabah, a healing prayer found in the digitized Mujarrobat manuscript LKK_CIAMIS2013_MLM01 from Ciamis, West Java. This study is based on the problem that the ways in which Qur’anic texts are received within manuscript-based local healing traditions have not yet been thoroughly explored, particularly in the context of Sundanese Islam, which integrates religious elements with traditional healing practices. Using a descriptive-analytical method combined with philological and codicological approaches, this research is conducted through several stages, including manuscript inventory, transliteration of Arabic and Sundanese-Pegon texts, structural description of the manuscript, and analysis of the contextual use and scriptural functions within healing practices. The findings show that Doa Syarabah combines Qur’anic recitation, Arabic prayers, and local instructions. Surah al-Ikhlāṣ functions as a theological foundation of monotheism (tawḥīd), while Surah al-Falaq and al-Nās serve as protective texts (taʿawwudh). Thus, the manuscript records a functional reception of the Qur’an within Sundanese Islamic culture, where short surahs become part of everyday religious practices for health maintenance and protection. These findings highlight the contribution of this study to enriching the field of Living Qur’an studies and the tradition of Islamic manuscripts in the Nusantara context, particularly regarding the therapeutic function of sacred texts within local cultural settings.
ABSTRAK
Artikel ini mengkaji resepsi Surah al-Ikhlāṣ dan al-Muʿawwidhatayn dalam Doa Syarabah, sebuah doa penyembuhan yang terdapat dalam naskah Mujarrobat terdigitalisasi LKK_CIAMIS2013_MLM01 dari Ciamis, Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini berangkat dari permasalahan belum terungkapnya secara mendalam bagaimana teks-teks Al-Qur’an diresepsi dalam tradisi pengobatan lokal berbasis naskah, khususnya dalam konteks Islam Sunda yang memadukan unsur keagamaan dan praktik penyembuhan tradisional. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis serta pendekatan filologis dan kodikologis, penelitian ini dilakukan melalui tahapan inventarisasi naskah, transliterasi teks Arab dan Sunda-Pegon, deskripsi struktur naskah, serta analisis konteks penggunaan dan fungsi skripturalnya dalam praktik penyembuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Doa Syarabah memadukan bacaan Al-Qur’an, doa berbahasa Arab, dan petunjuk lokal. Surah al-Ikhlāṣ berfungsi sebagai landasan teologis tauhid, sedangkan Surah al-Falaq dan al-Nās berperan sebagai teks perlindungan (taʿawwudz). Dengan demikian, naskah ini merekam bentuk resepsi fungsional Al-Qur’an dalam budaya Islam Sunda, di mana surah-surah pendek menjadi bagian dari praktik keagamaan sehari-hari untuk pemeliharaan kesehatan dan perlindungan. Temuan ini menegaskan kontribusi penelitian dalam memperkaya kajian living Qur’an dan tradisi manuskrip Islam Nusantara, khususnya pada aspek fungsi terapeutik teks suci dalam konteks budaya lokal.
