Abstract

The study explores the link between Islamic teachings and mental well being. Islamic practices like Tawakkul (reliance on Allah), Shukr (gratitude), Sabr (patience) and Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) are foundations to develop psychological well being and spiritual development. The practical teachings are based on Qur’an and Sunnah which help individuals to compete with depression, anxiety, adverse circumstances and multiple adverse challenges in life. The Islamic concept Tawakkul develops trust in Allah’s will and wisdom and decrease stress and depression like feelings, Sabr improve emotional regulation and consistency during life difficult challenges and adverse circumstances. The other Islamic concept Shukr is linked with positive psychology that increases mental well-being and satisfaction. Moreover, Dhikr helps to develop spiritual grooming and keeps the heart alive, active and connects man with its creator. Furthermore, Islamic practices like Salah (prayer), Sawm (fasting), and Zakat (charity) maintain systematic ways of sustainability and grooming mental well being and incorporate discipline, social connectedness and empathy among individuals and societies. The practical application of Islamic teachings in daily life works as modern psychological frameworks. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) shows the role of practical application in maintaining mental health. The study also focuses on other important Islamic concepts like Tazkiyah (soul purification) and Ihsan (excellence in worship) which play their roles to improve emotional resilience and self-awareness during difficulties and hardships.
