Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Islamic calligraphy as an adjunctive therapy for patients with mild to moderate depression within a culturally and spiritually contextualized Islamic framework. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 30 participants divided into two groups: an experimental group (Qur’anic calligraphy therapy) and a control group (general art therapy). The intervention included 12 sessions of writing Qur’anic verses of hope using the khat naskh style combined with mindfulness techniques. Quantitative results showed a 40% greater reduction in PHQ-9 scores in the calligraphy group compared to the control (p<0.01). Neurophysiological data revealed a 25% increase in alpha wave activity during calligraphy sessions compared to free drawing. Symbolic analysis of artwork indicated dominant use of blue and gold, associated with tranquility and spirituality. In-depth interviews revealed that 73% of participants cited the meaning of the verses as a key factor in mood improvement, and some developed personalized “calligraphy journals” as a form of self-healing. These findings suggest that Islamic calligraphy offers an effective, culture-sensitive psychospiritual intervention for Muslim patients. The study recommends integrating calligraphy modules into mental health clinics and training counselors as Islamic art therapists. It also highlights future research opportunities in exploring digital calligraphy interventions using tablets and stylus for Gen Z Muslims.

Abstract

The development of digital culture presents both challenges and opportunities for innovation in educational media, particularly in the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This article explores the potential of memes as creative and contextual educational tools for conveying Islamic values to the digital generation. Using a qualitative approach and Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis, the study examines 50 religion-themed memes collected from Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, supported by interviews with five PAI teachers who have integrated memes into their teaching practices. The findings reveal three key potentials of memes: first, simplifying abstract or complex religious concepts into more digestible content; second, increasing student engagement through visual and humorous approaches; and third, stimulating critical discussion on the interpretation of religious texts in contemporary contexts. Nevertheless, the use of memes also carries risks, such as excessive simplification of Islamic values, content that may offend the sanctity of religious symbols, and a generational gap in media literacy between teachers (digital immigrants) and students (digital natives). Therefore, the implementation of ethical frameworks and digital literacy strategies in Islamic education is essential, including teacher training and the development of an educational meme repository grounded in wasathiyah (moderate) Islamic values. Through a digital humanities lens, memes can serve not merely as entertainment, but as creative, reflective, and transformative pedagogical bridges.
