There are two kind of Ruqyah that happens in society, namely; Ruqyah Syar’iyah and Ruqyah Syir’kiyyah. Ruqyah Syar’iyah is the practice of treating illnesses through Quranic verses and invocations as prescribed by the Prophet Muhammad PBH. Ruqyah Syirkiyyah means reciting mantras by asking other than Allah. Referring to the discussion, only some of the verses of the Quran are used as ruqyah in the treatment of a disease. In fact, sometimes just a paragraph or a sentence. Possible sentences are combined with other prayers or other texts as an adjunct in the treatment. The verses of the Quran used as a treatment amount to eighty-four. Of the eighty-four there are functions that vary according to the patient's condition. Ruqyah practitioners can determine the verse according to the patient's condition, but basically the speakers believe that all the verses in the Quran are medical verses. Among these it was found that most ruqyah practitioners in Banjarmasin used the type of ruqyah syariyyah. Ruqyah can treat both medical and non-medical diseases and the success rate is different for each person. Ruqyah is not necessarily done just like that but through various procedures first. In general there are stages of ruqyah preparation, stages of ruqyah implementation, and stages after ruqyah.
