PENGARUH RUTIN BERIBADAH TERHADAP KESEHATAN SECARA KESELURUHAN

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of routine worship on overall health, including physical, mental, and emotional aspects. The implementation of worship activities includes several religious ritual activities such as five daily prayers, daily prayers, sunnah fasting, reading holy books, and other routine religious activities. The participants in this study were diverse in terms of age, gender, and profession, divided into two groups, namely those who had a regular worship routine or not. The methods used were in-depth interviews and observation. The study revealed that participants who practiced a routine of worship had a better quality of calmness, stress management, and sleep compared to those who did not consistently practice it. The study also showed that the habit and discipline of regular worship is positively related to increased gratitude, optimism, and tangible impacts on physical health such as blood pressure stability, increased endurance, and reduced risk of heart disease due to chronic stress. From a social perspective, worship also provides opportunities for positive interactions between individuals through activities such as assemblies, prayers, classes, or other faith community activities, which in turn strengthens social support and a sense of belonging. The conclusions of this study suggest that regular acts of worship are not only spiritual, but impact quality of life and health in tangible ways. Therefore, implementing religious practices in daily routines can serve as one holistic approach to support physical and mental well-being.
