<![CDATA[Sexual harassment causes psychological consequences, including diminished self-worth, identity disruption, and barriers to seeking support, particularly in communities where stigma and culturally mediated interpretations influence survivors’ recovery experiences. Although religious coping has been widely discussed in trauma research, limited attention has been given to how specific Islamic concepts contribute to dignity reconstruction and survivor agency. This study examines Islamic self-respect, represented through izzah (dignity), sabr (perseverance), and tawakkul (trust in God), as a culturally embedded framework for coping with sexual harassment-related trauma. A systematic literature review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA framework was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, complemented by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. From 356 identified records, 45 articles were included for thematic synthesis, while 75 Scopus-indexed publications were analyzed to map conceptual relationships and research trends. The findings indicate that Islamic self-respect is discussed in the literature as an interconnected process involving dignity restoration, psychological resilience, meaning reconstruction, and survivor empowerment. Specifically, izzah supports the restoration of self-worth, sabr represents psychological endurance, and tawakkul facilitates spiritual meaning-making and emotional regulation. The review also highlights the importance of supportive Muslim communities in reducing stigma and strengthening culturally responsive recovery pathways. This study contributes to trauma and religious coping scholarship by proposing Islamic self-respect as a conceptual framework linking spirituality, dignity reconstruction, and psychological resilience. Future empirical studies are needed to validate this framework across diverse Muslim cultural contexts and intervention settings.]]>
