Abstract

Stigma toward mental illness is a major barrier to individuals experiencingpsychological distress within Muslim communities. Cultural stigma, often misinterpreted asreligious doctrine, has become deeply rooted and influences community perceptions,contributing to low awareness and limited understanding of the importance of mental health. Therefore, this study aims to identify common forms of stigma and explore Islamic value-based peer support models for strengthening resilience. The method used was Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews andMeta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 framework. A comprehensive literature search wasconducted through Google Scholar and PubMed. The inclusion criteria were scholarly articlespublished between 2015 and 2025, leading to 16 studies meeting the selection requirements.The results showed that familial stigma, community attitudes, and misattributed spiritualbeliefs are the main obstacles to seeking professional help. However, integratingpsychological approaches with faith-based frameworks improved awareness, reducedstigma, and enhanced individual resilience. This study is expected to inform the developmentof more effective and culturally sensitive peer support programs in Muslim communities.

Abstract

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an established method for treating mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. However, its Western epistemology may limit cultural resonance for Muslim clients whose worldviews are shaped by Islamic theology. This paper proposes a faith-sensitive therapeutic model that integrates core Islamic concepts, such as sabr (patience), tawakkul (trust in God), muhasabah (self-reflection), and dhikr (remembrance), into CBT’s cognitive and behavioral tools. This spiritually grounded model promotes emotional healing while nurturing resilience and divine consciousness. It offers clinicians a culturally congruent framework that aligns with Muslim identity, values, and belief systems. The model enhances therapeutic alliance and supports both psychological and spiritual well-being. Its novelty lies in harmonizing traditional CBT with Islamic principles to foster deeper and longer-lasting healing.
