This study examines the effectiveness of self-administered Ruqyah therapy as an Islamic psychotherapy method in overcoming mood swings and loneliness among university students. This study employs a mixed methods sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative approaches (pre-test and post-test using a standardized loneliness scale, along with statistical analyses such as the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test) and qualitative approaches (semi-structured interviews with thematic analysis). Quantitative results, analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, showed a statistically significant decrease in mood swing scores post-therapy. Qualitative data supported these findings, with participants reporting increased calmness, mental clarity, and improved emotional regulation. This study demonstrates the potential of self-administered Ruqyah therapy as a complementary approach in addressing mood swings and loneliness, enhancing psychological and spiritual well-being. However, further research with larger and more diverse samples is needed to strengthen these findings.
