Abstract

Disappointment is one of the most prevalent negative emotions experienced by adolescents and can disrupt psychological well-being if not properly managed. This study aims to develop an integrative Islamic model of emotion regulation based on the Qur’anic concepts of tafakkur (cognitive reappraisal) and tadzakkur (spiritual meaning-making). Employing a qualitative approach, this research employed a literature study method and a thematic analysis of Qur’anic verses containing the expressions "la’allakum tatafakkarun" and "la’allakum tadzakkarun."  Data were examined through classical-to-modern interpretations and connected with contemporary psychological theories, including Gross’s emotion regulation framework, Pargament’s religious coping, and Park’s meaning-making model. The findings demonstrated that tafakkur functions as a rational-reflective process that allows individuals to reinterpret disappointment, while tadzakkur strengthens emotional recovery by reconstructing meaning through divine awareness and remembrance. Both serve as complementary mechanisms for cognitive and spiritual regulation, promoting emotional resilience and holistic well-being in Muslim adolescents. This study provides a conceptual contribution to Islamic Psychology by bridging Qur’anic epistemology and modern psychological theory. It also suggests that the integration of tafakkur and tadzakkur can be applied in character education and spiritually-based counseling interventions to help adolescents manage emotional distress constructively.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the formation of religious identity, the internalization of values, and students' spiritual attitudes in NU and Muhammadiyah boarding schools. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using pattern-matching strategies based on cross-cultural psychology theories (Hofstede, Berry, and Tajfel). The results showed that the NU shapes students' values and character through internalization of symbols, traditions, and spiritual relationships. In contrast, the Muhammadiyah pesantren instills values through rational, structural, and discursive approaches. The religious identity of NU students is inclusive and communal, while Muhammadiyah students show normative and argumentative identities. These findings emphasize that the Nusantara Islam and Progressive Islam models are not only an ideological narrative, but also function as a cultural framework that shapes the psychological structure of students. This study contributes to understanding how cultural frameworks within Islamic boarding schools shape the psychological construction of religious identity, offering an integrative perspective on the relationship between educational culture and faith development. However, this research is limited to two case study sites and qualitative data; thus, further comparative studies with broader samples and quantitative or mixed-methods designs are recommended to deepen these findings.
