Description
Summary:Dzikir is a ritual that is practiced by Muslims in which they pronounce the names of God repeatedly to stimulate enjoyment. This study examined the relationship between subjective well-being and dzikir intensity. Data were collected both by quantitative and qualitative methods. Instruments for quantitative data collection were The Satisfaction With Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scales, and Dzikir Intensity Scale. Result showed that dzikir intensity is significantly correlated with subjective well-being (p < .01). This result is supported by qualitative data from interviews with members of the Sufi group.
