Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in reducing academic anxiety among students at Muhammadiyah and Aisyiah Universities (PTMA) through a systematic literature review. Academic anxiety can affect students' performance and well-being. The method used was a systematic literature review by searching for relevant research articles from electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ERIC. Inclusion criteria included studies on MBSR, academic anxiety, and Islamic higher education settings, specifically PTMA. The results of the review showed that the majority of studies reported a significant reduction in academic anxiety levels after MBSR intervention. Some studies also showed improvements in academic performance and psychological well-being. However, variations in methodology and research contexts suggest the need for further research in the PTMA setting. In conclusion, MBSR has influence as an effective intervention to reduce academic anxiety among PTMA students, although further research is needed to confirm these findings in the specific context of PTMA.

Abstract

This study explored the predictive factors of academic procrastination through a comparative cross-sectional analysis between Indonesian and Egyptian students. Academic procrastination is a widespread issue with negative implications on students' academic performance and psychological well-being. This research examined the role of personality traits such as maladaptive perfectionism, self-efficacy, self-regulation, and time orientation in predicting procrastination behaviour. The study involved 50 undergraduate students (25 from each country), selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected via validated instruments including the Pure Procrastination Scale, Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, and Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. The results revealed that Indonesian students had a higher average academic procrastination score (M = 45.60, SD = 7.12) compared to Egyptian students (M = 43.20, SD = 6.89), though the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Both groups demonstrated similar levels of self-efficacy (M = 34.50 for Indonesia, M = 34.20 for Egypt). Maladaptive perfectionism was more prevalent in Indonesian students (M = 42.20, SD = 5.85) compared to their Egyptian counterparts (M = 39.80, SD = 6.12). Egyptian students, however, showed better self-regulation (M = 73.90, SD = 7.50) compared to Indonesian students (M = 70.50, SD = 8.30). Furthermore, Egyptian students were more future-oriented (M = 58.40, SD = 6.85), while Indonesian students were more present-oriented (M = 55.40, SD = 6.95). The findings highlighted the influence of cultural factors on procrastination, with future-oriented time perspectives in Egyptian students linked to better self-management. These results suggested that culturally sensitive interventions focusing on enhancing self-regulation and addressing maladaptive perfectionism could mitigate academic procrastination

Abstract

This study investigates the interaction between spiritual development and psychological growth among 72 Muslim university students, with implications for Islamic educational psychology. Spiritual development, centered on concepts such as taqwa (awareness of Allah) and tafaqquh fi al-din (deep religious understanding), is analyzed alongside psychological growth, encompassing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study conducted quantitative analysis through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and qualitative analysis of reflective journals. The findings reveal that spiritual development is significantly correlated with psychological well-being (r = 0.64, p < 0.01), religiosity (r = 0.71, p < 0.01), and academic performance (r = 0.42, p < 0.01). Psychological well-being mediates the relationship between spiritual development and academic performance. The SEM model shows strong fit indices, with CFI and TLI values ​​above 0.90 and RMSEA below 0.06. The novelty of this research lies in integrating Islamic spiritual concepts such as tazkiyah al-nafs (soul purification) with modern psychological theories, providing a comprehensive framework for the spiritual-psychological development of Muslim students. Recommendations include incorporating these findings into Islamic education by developing holistic curricula, improving Islamic guidance and counseling, and enhancing educator competencies. Future studies should explore larger samples and longitudinal designs to investigate these relationships further.

Abstract

This study presents common problems of Sufi texts’ interpretation by orientalists, with a specific emphasis on the Annemarie Schimmel’s works. The primary purpose of this study is to uncover biases and limitations that may reside in Schimmel's approach to Sufism and to pave the way for a more reflective and contextual approach in Islamic studies. This work employs a philosophical hermeneutic approach developed by Hans-Georg Gadamer. The primary data source comes from Schimmel's works on Sufism, while secondary data are obtained from academic literature related to hermeneutics, Orientalism, and the study of Sufism. The results of the study show that Schimmel's understanding of Sufi texts is influenced by her prejudices and understandings as an orientalist. Schimmel's "casting fusion" process produces a rich interpretation but is not free from inherent bias. In conclusion, this study has revealed essential dimensions in the hermeneutics of Sufi texts studied by Schimmel and the emphasis on the need for more critical and reflective cross-cultural dialogue to understand the Islamic spiritual tradition more deeply.

Abstract

Academic self-efficacy plays a critical role in shaping students' academic performance and resilience. This study aims to compare the academic self-efficacy of high school students in Indonesia and Egypt, focusing on how contextual factors such as education systems and cultural norms influence this psychological construct. A quantitative cross-country comparative method was employed, involving 100 students (50 from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and 50 from Cairo, Egypt) selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, validated for cross-cultural contexts, and analyzed using independent sample t-tests, MANOVA, and SEM techniques.The results reveal that Indonesian students scored significantly higher across all dimensions of academic self-efficacy. For instance, the "Confidence in Mastery" dimension scored 75.34 for Indonesian students compared to 68.12 for Egyptian students (p < 0.01). In the "Academic Resilience" dimension, Indonesian students scored 69.88 versus 62.33 for their Egyptian counterparts (p < 0.01). Gender, socioeconomic status, and prior academic achievement emerged as significant demographic moderators. The study concludes that Indonesian students benefit from a supportive educational environment that fosters intellectual independence and resilience. These findings underscore the importance of culturally sensitive educational policies and interventions in enhancing students’ psychological well-being and academic success.

Abstract

This study analyzes the manifestation of patience as a coping mechanism in Islamic psychology, focusing on the comparison of sociocultural contexts between Indonesian and Egyptian students. The background of this study emphasizes the importance of patience as a stress management strategy in Islam, which can be affected by cultural differences. The research used a mixed-method approach, combining a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews. The survey involved 100 university students, 50 each from Indonesia and Egypt, to measure the level of patience and coping mechanisms, while in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 students to explore their sociocultural understanding. The results showed that there were no significant differences between Indonesian and Egyptian students in terms of manifestations of patience, with identical mean scores of sociocultural context and coping mechanisms in both groups (82.54 and 82.96). However, qualitative interviews revealed differences in how they interpreted patience; Indonesian students tended to see patience as a means of maintaining social harmony, while Egyptian students emphasized the spiritual aspect guided by religious teachings. The conclusion of this study is that patience as a coping mechanism in Islamic psychology has a universal foundation, but the sociocultural context affects its interpretation and application. The findings have significance for the development of culturally sensitive psychological interventions, especially in supporting Muslim students in dealing with academic stress and other life challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the Qur'anic perspectives on interfaith relations in the contemporary world, emphasizing the relevance of its principles in addressing modern pluralistic societies. Islam, as a divinely revealed religion, acknowledges the existence of other faiths while upholding the theological stance that Islam is the only religion approved by Allah. The Qur'an recognizes religious diversity as part of divine will and explicitly rejects coercion in matters of belief, positioning the prophets solely as conveyors of God's message. Employing a thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhui), this study systematically collects and analyzes Qur'anic verses related to interfaith relations. This method enables a structured and comprehensive understanding of key principles such as tolerance, peace, equality, deliberation, and justice. The analysis reveals that the Qur'an promotes peaceful coexistence and ethical engagement with non-Muslims while maintaining doctrinal exclusivity in matters of faith (aqidah). Theoretically, this study enriches discussions on Qur'anic hermeneutics by contextualizing interfaith themes within contemporary realities. Practically, it offers insights for policymakers, religious leaders, and scholars seeking to promote constructive interfaith engagement based on Islamic teachings. Contribution: The findings contribute to contemporary Islamic discourse by demonstrating how Qur'anic principles can serve as a foundational framework for fostering interreligious dialogue and social harmony in an era of increasing global religious diversity.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of an Islamic psychospiritual approach within mindfulness programs to enhance teachers' emotional intelligence. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) complemented by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, this research evaluates 43 selected studies published between 2020 and 2025 that integrate elements such as muraqabah, muhasabah, and tazkiyatun nafs within mindfulness frameworks. Findings indicate that such integration significantly enhances self-awareness, emotion regulation, and empathy, particularly among teachers with high religiosity. Compared to secular-based programs, the Islamic psychospiritual mindfulness approach demonstrated a higher effect size (0.58), better cost-efficiency, and stronger contextual relevance in Muslim communities. The study concludes that this integrated approach provides a spiritually congruent and pedagogically effective model for emotional intelligence development, offering valuable contributions to the fields of educational psychology and Islamic education

Abstract

The current study addresses the limitations of contemporary educational frameworks that often compartmentalize cognitive, emotional, and spiritual domains, thereby hindering holistic student development. This study employed a qualitative methodology using a systematic literature review approach. Data were sourced from scholarly articles, neuroscience textbooks, and educational policy documents published between 2020–2025. Document analysis matrices and content analysis protocols were utilized to extract and synthesize conceptual frameworks. The validity of findings was ensured through triangulation, peer reviews, reflexive journaling, and audit trails, implemented across six systematic research stages. Findings reveal that integrating neurocognitive strategies with spiritual practices fosters synergistic brain changes. These include neuroplastic modifications in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system, improving executive functions and emotion regulation. Integrating transcendental meaning-making and attentional control significantly boosts information processing and emotional resilience in learning environments. The implications of this research extend to educational policy, curriculum design, and teacher training, offering a scientific and spiritual synthesis that enriches both pedagogical theory and practice. This model proposes a developmental framework for implementing tailored interventions from early childhood through adulthood, supporting lifelong cognitive-emotional growth grounded in spiritual values.

Abstract

This research looks at the psycho-philosophical framework of the Tazkiyatun Nafs idea and how it affects college students' growth in spiritual-emotional intelligence. The study intends to: (1) investigate Tazkiyatun Nafs' ontological structure in the context of contemporary educational psychology; (2) investigate the epistemological aspects of Tazkiyatun Nafs in the development of spiritual-emotional intelligence; and (3) develop a conceptual model of the integration of Tazkiyatun Nafs within the framework of developing spiritual-emotional intelligence through a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical literature study method. The study's findings show that, in contrast to the traditional educational psychology method, which tends to isolate the cognitive, emotive, and spiritual elements of college students' growth, the ontological framework of Tazkiyatun Nafs provides an integrated picture of these aspects. The epistemological aspects of Tazkiyatun Nafs, according to this study, also include the process of knowledge acquisition that entails awareness change and the growth of the soul's perceptual powers, which combine experiential, intuitive, and intellectual knowledge. Four primary pedagogical techniques were found in this study's axiological aspect for use in higher education curricula: guided contemplative practice, transformational dialogic learning, interdisciplinary knowledge integration, and value-based critical reflection. These results offer a theoretical foundation for the creation of a more integrative and comprehensive educational paradigm that may accommodate students' multifaceted requirements in the contemporary period.
