Abstract

The increasing prevalence of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, chronic stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) demands healing approaches that are not only clinically effective but also provide deeper spiritual meaning. Modern psychological interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and gratitude interventions, have shown significant impact on improving mental health. However, these approaches are often considered limited due to their secular orientation and insufficient engagement with the transcendental dimension of human experience. This study aims to comparatively analyze the concept of gratitude as developed by Robert A. Emmons and the concept of syukur according to Syekh Ihsan Jampes, as well as to evaluate their potential integration within a holistic framework for mental disorder treatment. This research employs a qualitative approach through a literature study, drawing upon Emmons’ work (Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier), Ihsan Jampes’ Sirāj al-Ṭālibīn, the Qur’an, Hadith, literature on positive psychology, and recent empirical studies. Content analysis and comparative methods were applied to examine the definitions, dimensions, similarities, and differences of the two concepts. The findings indicate that, first, gratitude and syukur both function as healing mechanisms by reducing stress, depression, and anxiety. Second, both enhance subjective well-being, sleep quality, prosocial behavior, and emotional resilience. Third, the main difference lies in their orientation: gratitude is rooted in an empirical-secular approach, while shukr is grounded in a theological-transcendental perspective. Fourth, their integration has the potential to create a comprehensive psycho-spiritual therapy that is clinically effective while also strengthening faith, morality, and meaning in contemporary life.

Abstract

The concept of the inferiority complex developed by Alfred Adler has been widely applied in contemporary psychology to explain conditions such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. However, existing solutions tend to be secular, overlooking the spiritual dimension and relying on partial approaches such as tabula rasa, heredity, or nativism, thereby lacking a holistic perspective. This study aims to explore and Islamize Adler’s concept of the inferiority complex by drawing on Adler’s works, Islamic sources, particularly the Qur’an and Hadith, as well as insights from modern Western psychologists and Muslim scholars. Employing a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, the study analyzes primary and secondary texts to identify secular elements in Adler’s theory and integrate them with Islamic principles. The findings show that while Adler’s concept is useful for understanding human psychology, it is rooted in a secular Western paradigm that emphasizes human autonomy and neglects dependence on God. Using Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’s framework of Islamization of knowledge, the concept is reconstructed in three stages: De-Westernization (removing secular elements), integration (embedding values such as tawḥīd, fiṭrah, muḥāsabah, tawakkul, shukr, qanā‘ah, and ukhuwah Islāmiyyah), and Islamization (a comprehensive reconstruction aligned with the tawhidic worldview). The resulting framework is holistic, uniting psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Within this perspective, the inferiority complex not only addresses mental health but also strengthens faith, cultivates virtuous character, and affirms humanity’s role as God’s vicegerent (khalīfah). Thus, this study contributes to the development of modern Islamic psychology that is both relevant to Muslim communities and oriented toward worldly well-being and eternal happiness.
