 The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of Surah Al-Rehman for managing depression in Muslim women admitted for treatment of major depressive disorder in a psychiatry ward of a government hospital. It was hypothesized that women diagnosed with severe depression in the treatment group will have reduced level of depression as compared to control group at post-assessment level. It was further hypothesized that the amount of decrease in depression in treatment group at the post-assessment level will be greater as compared to the control group. This is an excerpt from an experiment in seeking the effectiveness of Surah Al-Rahman in the Holy Qur'an on controlling depression in women of Islamic faith. This statement shows the hypothesis, the statement which is being tested. The hypothesis was that women who listened to the recitation of Surah Rahman by world-renown Qari Abdul Basit would decrease in depression levels more than those who receive the control group [music intended for depressed patients]. This fits perfectly into what a hypothesis is as this statement is being tested in this experiment, which being "testable" is a requirement for a hypothesis.
