Abstract

This ancient manuscript, entitled ‘Syair Nasihat’ (SN), saves the treasures of traditional medicine in the archipelago, namely treatment with a sufistic approach. The concept of sufistic therapy offered by SN is to offer holistic medicine, a concept of treatment that views the body and soul as a whole, holistic, and integral part of the universe. This concept has attracted the attention of the modern medical world because Western medicine is more inclined to view the human body parts. In Sufistic therapy, every human being must go through the process of takhalli (cleaning the soul from wrong actions and sins - repentance an-nasukha), tahalli (filling the soul with good and positive things, such as remembrance, prayer, and recitations), and tajali (the opening of the veil that has been covering the eyes of the human mind). These three stages must be carried out seriously so that humans can reach the level of ‘Insan Kamil.’ When this ‘insan kamil’ stage can be achieved by humans, then he will receive the abundance of Allah’s grace. That is, he will get health, fitness, happiness. The method of dealing with ancient manuscripts is a philological study method in that it uses a critical edition to present appropriate and correct text editing. These alter can be utilized as a fabric for the substance examination stage related to the concept of Sufi therapy.
