| Zusammenfassung: | We conducted a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the effect of the Holy Qur’an on various physical and psychological diseases and conditions. The review is based on scientific publications (identified by searching the Web of Science) that used the Holy Qur’an, largely listening and recitation, to treat various conditions and diseases. After retrieving 229 articles on the subject and eliminating those with unrelated content, we selected 19 articles for this review. Five sets of diseases and conditions—stress, anxiety, and depression; cancer; pain, including pain during childbirth; heart disease; and coma were identified, and the Qur’anic intervention showed significant improvement and amelioration of these incapacitating conditions. We suggest further research needs to be done to document the efficacy of the Holy Qur’an as a therapeutic resource to help spiritual caregivers and other professionals in health-related fields. |
