Introducing a Therapeutic Dhikr (Remembrance) Model Based on Quranic Verses and Hadiths for Promoting the Culture of Worship and Preventing Anxiety

The central factor in mental tranquility is the remembrance of the Most High. In Surah Al-Ahzab, God says: "O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance and exalt Him in the morning and the evening." (33:41-42). The message of these two verses is that worship and devotion lead to mental peace and assurance, preserving individuals from anxiety and distress. Another verse states: "Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured." (Ar-Ra'd:28); this verse empowers humans in three aspects of nature, society, and the soul. This research aims to examine commonly used supplications, the stages and levels of remembrance, and the impact of remembrance on the culture of worship. The present study is qualitative and conducted using the seven-step Snyder synthesis approach and coding methods, including open and axial coding. The unit of analysis is the Quran and credible religious texts comprising supplications. The author designed a worksheet for the required information and, to ensure the coding process, utilized two evaluators for recoding. The results of the study and analysis identified the code of concepts related to the therapeutic recitation model. The most frequently mentioned supplications include prayers, seeking forgiveness, declaring the oneness of God, and Ayat al-Kursi. The heart stage of remembrance requires facilitating its stages and levels, utilizing commonly effective supplications, and having a significant impact. The levels of remembrance, in addition to reducing anxiety, contribute to enhancing the culture of worship and spiritual connection. Therefore, the therapeutic recitation model holds special significance
