This study examines the effectiveness of Quran-based counseling services in reducing student anxiety levels at STIT Ihsanul Fikri Pabelan. Anxiety is the body's normal response to stress, but it can become a problem if it occurs excessively or prolonged for no apparent reason. Previous research shows that a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes can be effective in reducing anxiety and improving overall mental health. Among university students, anxiety can arise from various sources such as academic pressure, financial problems, interpersonal relationships, and achievement demands. Managing anxiety is essential to improve the mental health and well-being of college students. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design to explore the effectiveness of Quran-based counseling services on student well-being and success. Data were collected through interviews, surveys, and observations to gain a comprehensive insight into the impact of the counseling services. The research sample was randomly selected to ensure diversity and representativeness. The results showed that Quran-based counseling significantly reduced the anxiety levels of students who participated in the counseling sessions compared to those who did not. The post-counseling survey also showed a high level of satisfaction and benefits felt by the participants. This study emphasizes the importance of counseling services on campus and recommends improving mental health services in a college setting. In addition, the study proposes the need for further research to explore the long-term effects of counseling on the overall well-being of college students, as well as its impact on academic performance, social relationships, and personal growth. Increased access to counseling services is considered essential for creating a healthier and more supportive community.
