Abstract

Al-Quran is known as the best remedy for illnesses. In Malay medical treatment, the recitation of Quranic verses was one of the treatment methods applied by Malay medical practitioners. A lot of Quranic verses were used as a prayer and documented in Malay medical manuscripts produced in the 16th to 20th centuries. Hence, this article attempts to analyse Quranic verses recitation used as a treatment method in Kitab Tib MSS1653 manuscript. This study applied qualitative methodology and library research methods. The data was analysed by using inductive, deductive, and comparative methods to provide a discussion on related objectives. The finding shows that there were 387 Quranic verses from 58 surahs were used as a treatment method discussed in this manuscript. However, there were some spelling errors in Quranic verses writing found in Malay medical manuscripts. Seven types of spelling errors are missing letter hamzah, dots removal in letters, misspelled words, additional letters, missing letters, missing words, and major spelling mistakes.
