The Ruqyah Syar’iyyah Verses As A Breast Cancer Therapy: A Preliminary Evaluation On Breast Cancer Cell Line(MCF-7)

Abstract

One of the method in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is Ruqyah Syar’iyyah by reciting Quranic verses in the treatment. As the Holy Quran is the eternal miracle which challenged the worlds and effects all creatures in general, this study is aimed to disclose the effects  of  reciting Ruqyah Shar’iyyah as a treatment  by evaluating  the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines.  The spiritual treatment was shown to improve the quality of life that give better impacts to emotion and physical as well as increase immunity.  This study applied the experimental method where MCF-7 cells were divided into two groups;  the control and the treatment group. During the treatment sessions, a compilation of several quranic verses were recited by using the speakers. The study demonstrated that the cell proliferation percentage of the treatment group for both treatment periods (12 and 24 hour) decreased compared to the control group.  This empirical study  proved the miracolous effects of Holy Quran on breast cancer cell lines. The study  suggest the longer treatment times and repeated treatments would provide significant results for a  higher grade cancer cells such as MCF-7 used in this study.
