<![CDATA[Studies of Muhammad Utsman Najati's Al-Qur'an dan Ilmu Jiwa have read it mainly as a source of Qur'anic therapy for psychological disorders, so that his concept of mental health remains without explicit criteria, and its link to Islamic education is asserted rather than derived from his text. This study analyzes that concept from the Qur'anic perspective and its contribution to Islamic education. It is qualitative library research with a textual-conceptual approach; the primary source is Al-Qur'an dan Ilmu Jiwa, read together with the Qur'anic verses Najati uses, and the literature on Islamic psychology, mental health, and Islamic education, and analyzed through content and thematic analyses across five themes. The findings showed that Najati grounds mental health in the complementary unity of matter and spirit; treats material-spiritual conflict as a decreed test resolved through reason and free choice; positions faith as the source of security, with patience, gratitude, and repentance preventing the repression of guilt; regards social attachment as protection against isolation; and defines psychotherapy as the correction of faulty learning, with taqwa regulating drives without repressing them and worship serving as sustained practice. Mental health is therefore assessed by a mature, whole, and balanced personality marked by inner tranquility. The study contributes to the literature on Islamic psychology by proposing an integrated framework that connects Qur'anic anthropology, psychological well-being, and educational character formation, in which learning serves as the mechanism linking personality formation in education with its restoration in therapy. Islamic education thus operates as preventive formation, while persistent disorders require professional services; the framework is conceptual and awaits empirical testing.]]>
