<![CDATA[Objective: This study examines the psychospiritual dimensions of Sufism and their relationship to sustainable mental well-being and inner peace through the integration of nafs, qalb, and ruh. The study also highlights the relevance of Sufism to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 concerning Good Health and Well-Being. Theoretical framework: Sufism views humans as multidimensional beings consisting of nafs (soul/self), qalb (heart), and ruh (spirit). The balance among these dimensions is essential for achieving emotional stability and inner peace through tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul). Literature review: Previous studies on Sufism, Islamic psychology, and mental health indicate that spiritual practices such as dhikr, muraqabah, and muhasabah contribute to emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, and psychological well-being. Method: This study employed a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review. Data were collected from books, journals, and scholarly publications related to Sufism, Islamic psychology, and mental health, then analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The findings show that imbalance among nafs, qalb, and ruh may lead to anxiety, emotional instability, and inner conflict. In contrast, practices such as dhikr, muraqabah, muhasabah, and tawakkal support emotional regulation, self-awareness, resilience, and inner peace. Implications: This study demonstrates that Sufism offers a holistic psychospiritual framework for promoting sustainable mental well-being through the integration of psychological and spiritual dimensions. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in integrating classical Sufi concepts with modern psychological perspectives to formulate a psychospiritual model of sustainable mental well-being.]]>
