Abstract
Having free will has always required a quest and movement with it. This does not mean that all the solutions found as a result of such quests are correct. Ruqyah recipes cited in the religious literature can be given as an example of this situation. From past to present, one of the methods that people use to protect themselves, their loved ones, and possessions, and to get rid of various disasters, is called ruqyah. The Modern Era is a period of dizzying developments in health, as in many areas. Even in modern times, when the science of medicine is at its peak, man has not completely abandoned resorting to alternative ways of experience and accumulation dating back centuries. Because the willpower that a person has constantly triggers finding solutions with different alternatives in the face of difficulties. In this context, people prepare medicines, and effective formulas and resorted to prayers and sayings of religion. Although the effectiveness of solutions varies in certain periods, it is known that a person does not leave any of them out with the motive of finding solutions. Named in different ways, ruqyah recipes, some parts of which are based on human experience transferred from generation to generation, and the other part is based on religious elements and transmitted through oral or written texts, present a complex structure in terms of application and content. Because in these practices, elements such as experience, religious practice, customs, and traditions have been intertwined. Ruqyah was sometimes transmitted orally, sometimes in writing. One of the important tools in the written transmission has been religious texts. The fact that there is a religious dimension in the recipes in question or that they are conveyed in religious literature does not mean that all of these recipes are in accordance with religion. Likewise, the existence of recipes that religion does not approve of cannot be a reason for the rejection of the entire area. In this study, some of the ruqyah recipes quoted by Muhammad Attafayyish (d. 1332-1914), an important figure for the Ibazi sect, in his exegesis studies were evaluated. Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the examination of the materials related to the field. In addition, although ruqyah refers to a variety of practices used to protect against various evils, and get rid of diseases or similar troubles, in this study, this concept was used to cover all similar practices. Because in the use of different names, factors such as time, place, customs, content, and dialect can be effective.
