Researchers analyzed the process and the impact of the Sufi healing method to quell the anxiety of coronary heart disease patients. In addition, by using comparative descriptive analysis, researchers compare the attitude of respondents before and after the intervention of the Sufi healing method. The results of this method brought significant changes in the level of anxiety and their disease. The clients could control their emotions better; they no longer feel extreme anxiety. They also returned to their daily activities and used their free time to do positive actions, such as reciting Zikr and listening to the Holy Qur’an.
