This study is based on observations of the emotional well-being of adolescents at the Al-Hakimiyah Paringgonan Islamic Boarding School in Padang Lawas Regency. The study aims to explore the experiences of male and female students at the Al-Hakimiyah Paringgonan Islamic Boarding School regarding their emotional regulation skills and their impact on mental health. This study employs a qualitative method using a descriptive phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 8 male and female students, as well as 2 male and female supervisors. Data analysis was conducted using Colaizzi’s data analysis technique. The findings reveal the subjective experiences of adolescents at the Al-Hakimiyah Paringgonan Islamic Boarding School in managing emotions, particularly in relation to the practice of internalizing the Prophet’s hadith. Practices such as suppressing anger through silence, performing wudu, reciting the ta’awuz or engaging in zikr by reading the Qur’an, and leaving the location triggering the conflict to avoid arguments are able to provide effects of inner and physical calmness as well as reduce the intensity of emotions. This emotional management ability has positive implications for adolescents’ mental health, particularly in maintaining relationships with themselves and their surrounding environment. Furthermore, research findings indicate that the practice of suppressing anger in the Prophet’s hadiths demonstrates a tentative functional analogy with emotional management from a psychophysiological perspective.
