Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of the mental health of adolescent students through Sufism psychotherapy at the Al-Furqon Islamic Boarding School. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Sufism psychotherapy practices include dhikr (remembrance of God), muhasabah (self-reflection), muraqabah (spiritual awareness), and tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul) as a form of spiritual development for students. The results indicate that Sufism psychotherapy helps students reduce anxiety, increase emotional calm, and strengthen emotional regulation during the adaptation process at the Islamic boarding school. Social support from religious teachers and peers also plays a role in strengthening the students' psychological resilience. Thus, Sufism psychotherapy positively contributes to strengthening the mental health of adolescent students in the Islamic boarding school environment.
