Abstract

Hypertension is a condition when systolic blood pressure is more than 140 mmHg and 90 mmHg in diastolic, by measuring several times at different times. One of the ways to maintain blood pressure is by using murottal therapy (listening Qur'an). The purpose of this case study was to measure blood pressure after listening Surah Al-Kahf in families with hypertension. The result of this study show that there was change in blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg decrease to 130/80 mmHg, while second patient who had a blood pressure of 170/100 mmHg drops 130/80 mmHg. These results indicate that murottal therapy is effective for maintaining blood pressure among hypertensive patients. Therefore, murottal therapy may be implemented independently by patient for a healthy lifestyle.
