The purpose of this study was to investigate how dhikr therapy can lessen psychopathological symptoms. Eighteen hypertension patients in all were chosen as volunteers and divided into two groups: experimental and control. While the control group (n = 9) was placed on a waiting list, the experimental group (n = 9) received the therapy. The Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI), which measures psychopathological symptoms before therapy (pretest), after therapy (posttest), and during a two-week follow-up test, was administered to all participants. With Z = -3.339 and p = 0.000, data analysis using the Mann-Whitney U revealed a significant decrease in symptoms. The findings confirmed the theory that psychopathological symptoms were alleviated by dhikr treatment. This study concluded that spiritual therapy plays a significant influence in lowering psychological symptoms.
