<![CDATA[This article explores the relationship between Islam Nusantara and non-Western psychological resilience, focusing on the traditions developed in Indonesian boarding schools (pesantren). In a global context often influenced by Western psychological paradigms, Indonesia presents a unique approach to building psychological resilience through religious teachings and practices deeply rooted in local culture. This study identifies how pesantren, as traditional Islamic educational institutions, play a significant role in shaping individual and community resilience through the teaching of spiritual, social, and cultural values derived from Islam Nusantara. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes pesantren practices that promote mental resilience, such as the cultivation of strong faith, the strengthening of social bonds, and role-model-based learning.

This article also emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-Western psychological approaches in promoting mental well-being, particularly within Muslim communities in Indonesia.]]>
