This study aims to explain how the Sufi approach through the practice of dhikr can be an effective method in reducing anxiety in individuals. The research method used is a literature review (library research) by analyzing various scientific sources, both classical and modern, that discuss the relationship between dhikr, Sufism, and mental health. The results of the study indicate that dhikr functions not only as a verbal worship, but also as a spiritual therapy that can calm the mind and balance emotional conditions. The activity of repeatedly remembering Allah can reduce stress hormone levels, stabilize the nervous system, and lead individuals to a deeper spiritual awareness. Sufism guides humans to control the ego, accept fate with an open heart, and achieve inner peace through an intimate relationship with the Creator. Therefore, dhikr from a Sufi perspective plays a role in purifying the soul that helps overcome anxiety and improve psychological well-being.
