Abstract

This study investigates the factors affecting the effectiveness of Ruqyah (Islamic healing) treatments at Darussyifa’ Islamic Treatment Center in Malaysia, focusing on the roles of Symptoms of Illness, Patient Management, Daily Patient Follow-up Practice, and Illness Disorder Assessment. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, data from 272 respondents were analysed using PLS-SEM. The findings indicate that Daily Patient Follow-up Practice is the most significant factor influencing treatment effectiveness, followed by Patient Management, while Illness Disorder Assessment did not significantly moderate treatment outcomes. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous patient engagement and effective management in enhancing the effectiveness of Ruqyah treatment.
