Abstract

The growing presence of Muslim students in multicultural and secular societies, such as Australia, raises important questions about identity formation and cultural adaptation. This study aims to explore how Muslim students in Darwin construct cultural harmony and develop their self-identity within educational environments that may not fully accommodate religious practices. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving students, parents, and community representatives, with thematic analysis applied to interpret the data. The findings reveal that Muslim students face multiple challenges, including limited access to worship facilities, lack of halal food, and experiences of stereotyping and social exclusion. Despite these constraints, they actively develop adaptive strategies such as effective time management, selective identity expression, and engagement in constructive dialogue, enabling them to balance academic and religious commitments. Islamic education plays a significant role in strengthening moral values, self-confidence, and a sense of belonging, while support from families, schools, and Muslim communities contributes to creating a more inclusive environment. This study contributes to the development of contextually responsive Islamic education and provides practical insights for enhancing student well-being, identity formation, and cultural harmony in multicultural settings.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of Law of Attraction (LoA) and its relationship with Islamic spirituality, focusing on the comparison of the basic principles of LoA and Islamic teachings in building a positive mindset, affirmation, visualization, and confidence in the desired results. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through a literature review of the concept of LoA explained in the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and Quranic Law of Attraction by Rusdin S. Rauf. The analysis was carried out by comparing the principles of LoA with values in Islamic teachings, such as prayer, tawakkal, and gratitude. The results show that LoA and Islam have similarities in emphasizing the importance of positive thinking, focusing on goals, and affirmation and visualization as tools to strengthen beliefs. However, there are fundamental differences in the sources of power that are believed; LoA relies on the energy of the universe, while Islam affirms that everything happens by Allah's will. Therefore, the application of LoA for a Muslim must remain within the framework of the Islamic faith, without replacing belief in Allah with belief in the power of the mind alone. The principles of LoA can be applied in the life of a Muslim as long as it remains in harmony with the teachings of Islam, namely by understanding that human efforts must be accompanied by prayer and tawakkal to Allah. This study is expected to be a reference for the development of a more balanced understanding of LoA from an Islamic perspective. Further research is suggested to explore the application of this concept in practical aspects of life as well as how LoA can contribute to improving the motivation and spiritual well-being of Muslims.
