Objective: This study aims to explore the role of the concept of tawakkul in enhancing the resilience of bullying victims. Method: This research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis through a literature review that includes indexed scientific articles, books, online media sources, and other reliable academic references. Results: The findings indicate that tawakkul, from the perspective of al-Ghazali, contributes to strengthening individual resilience through dimensions of spirituality, self-acceptance, and complete trust in divine decree. Conclusion: This study asserts that tawakkul may function as an Islamic-based psychotherapeutic approach to support psychological recovery among bullying victims. In conclusion, tawakkul has the potential to serve as a therapeutic foundation for improving resilience and preventing long-term psychological impacts.
