This study aims to examine the effect of Qur'anic murottal therapy on academic stress in university students in Palembang City. The method used in this study was a quasi-experimental method with a one group Pre-test-Post-test design involving students with a total of 44 respondents from various universities in Palembang City. Data were collected using a Google Form questionnaire containing a validated academic stress scale instrument with a total of 24 statement items which were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon non-parametric statistical test. The results showed no difference before and after the treatment of murottal therapy of Al-Qur'an Surah Ar-Rahman was given (p = 0.573 < 0.05). Therefore, it can be interpreted that there is no effect of Qur'anic murottal therapy on academic stress in students in Palembang City. The research findings contain differences in the results of research conducted by researchers with previous studies which state that there is an influence between Qur'anic murottal therapy on academic stress. Therefore, the researcher reviews various factors that influence the difference in these results, as well as things that are weaknesses in this study.
