This study aims to analyze the role of spiritual pharmacology through the practices of dhikr, prayer, and worship among Islamic boarding school students in supporting mental health within pesantren environments. The background of this study is based on the importance of a holistic health approach that emphasizes not only physical aspects but also psychological and spiritual dimensions. This research employed a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach by reviewing various scientific journals, books, and previous studies related to Islamic spirituality, mental health, and pesantren life. The results showed that dhikr, prayer, and routine worship function as religious coping strategies that help reduce anxiety, increase inner peace, strengthen emotional control, and build students’ mental resilience. In addition, congregational worship culture, social interaction among students, and spiritual guidance from Islamic scholars create a collective therapeutic environment that supports psychological stability. However, the effectiveness of spiritual pharmacology is influenced by the level of spiritual value internalization and cannot fully replace medical interventions for severe mental disorders. In conclusion, spiritual pharmacology has the potential to become a complementary approach in holistic spiritual-based mental health services. Further studies are recommended to apply empirical and quantitative approaches to measure the effects of spiritual practices on psychological conditions more objectively.
