<![CDATA[Al-Ghazali’s counseling framework offers a spiritually grounded alternative within contemporary Islamic psychotherapy. Despite its intellectual depth, empirical discussions of its effectiveness remain limited compared to dominant Western counseling models. This study seeks to synthesize recent scholarly evidence on the effectiveness of Al-Ghazali–based counseling in addressing various client concerns. Employing a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA protocol, the study analyzed ten peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 and indexed in Scopus.
