Nevertheless, in its implementation, those patients are commonly have not yet received the care that they supposedly receive. Nurses who works in hospitals that embraced Islamic values as their fundamental pillars of the health care deliveries, have not been able to implement the Islamic nursing care optimally. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the Islamic nursing care delivery in hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional design was chosen to investigate the research question. A proportional sampling technique was used to approach the participants, resulting a total of 51 nurses who works in in-patient units participated in the study. A checklist which had been validated was used to collect data on the Islamic nursing care. This instrument consisted of 23 statements measuring nurse practice in Islamic nursing care. Results: More than half of the nurses (64.7%) demonstrated insufficient level of the Islamic nursing care implementation whereas the rest (35.3%) were identified to have good level of implementation. Conclusion: The study indicate that not all nurses have implemented the Islamic nursing care optimally. In order to improve the nurse performance, it is suggested to supervise the implementation of the Islamic nursing care in the hospital.
