This study investigates the transformative da’wah model through Islamic spiritual guidance in contemporary health services, focusing on patients at Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital Semarang. The study addresses the critical gap in integrating spiritual care into medical treatment within Islamic health institutions in Indonesia. This qualitative research employs a phenomenological approach within an interpretive research paradigm. Data were gathered from twenty (20) patients through semi-structured interviews and participant observation between January 2025 and July 2025. Collected data were analysed thematically using deductive coding to identify recurring patterns related to the da’wah delivery, spiritual intervention, and patientwell-being outcomes. The study found that the transformative Da’wah model comprises four interrelated dimensions: (1) Prophylactic da’wah (preventive spiritual education), (2) Curative da’wah (healing-oriented spiritual intervention), (3) Rehabilitative da’wah (recovery-focused spiritual support), and (4) Promotive da’wah (well-being enhancement). Patients reported significant improvements in psychological resilience, spiritual well-being, and coping capacity when Islamic spiritual guidance was systematically integrated into healthcare delivery. Theoretically and practically, the model extends the scholarship of Islamic guidance and counselling (bimbingan dan konseling Islam) by offering hospital-based rohaniawan and Islamic counsellors a structured, stage-sensitive framework for designing, delivering, and evaluating spiritually integrated patient counselling services.
