Introduction: The implications of repetition of unwanted thoughts and activities are symptoms of mental health problems that can affect the activities of daily living for most individuals. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the five major types of anxiety disorders. Highlights on the OCD recovery mechanisms were found to be suitable to be integrated with the Quran-based rehabilitation methods. Methods: This study aims to analyse OCD recovery methods based on the interpretation of the Quranic verses. Based on qualitative methods, this study proposes a Model of recovery approaches for Obsessive-compulsive disorder from the Quranic verses. Thematic content analysis was conducted on the compilation of Quranic verses related to the term waswas based on the authoritative works of tafasir (Interpretation books of The Quran) and shuruh al-Ahadith (Books of hadiths explanations). Results: The findings showed that the discourse of five verses regarding the term waswas (doubts) in the Quran contains complementary solutions to the problem of OCD. The complementary solutions were also found in line with the guidelines of Act 775 - Traditional and Complementary Medicine Act 2016. Conclusion: The OCD recovery process based on the Quran deserves to be dignified as a model of complementary treatment of OCD problems.
