<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of digital disruption, social competition, and hustle culture in the modern era has triggered a dramatic increase in mental health disorders among adolescents. This phenomenon is characterized by widespread academic anxiety, depression, body dysmorphic disorder, burnout, self-harm, and suicidal tendencies. This article aims to restructure and conceptually analyze the operational relevance of the wasatiyyah approach in Islamic Education as a holistic framework for addressing the adolescent mental health crisis. This research employs a library research method with a qualitative-philosophical and psycho-pedagogical approach. Data analysis was conducted using Krippendorff's qualitative content analysis on primary sources, including the Qur'an, Hadith, and the works of Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Zakiah Daradjat, integrated with contemporary psychological literature. The findings indicate that: (1) The concept of wasatiyyah serves as a dynamic educational methodology based on Equilibrium (tawazun), Justice (i'tidal), and Tolerance (tasamuh), integrating physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions; (2) The adolescent mental crisis originates from spiritual emptiness and the dominance of an-nafs al-lawwamah induced by digital-sociocultural pressures; (3) The values of i'tidal, tawazun, and tasamuh act as psychological inoculation and self-compassion; and (4) Operational implementation requires reconstructing a soul-friendly religious curriculum and repositioning religious teachers as spiritual mentors (mursyid) collaborating with professional counselors.]]>
