Abstract

Stress is the most common problem experienced by people across ages and is associated with poor psychological and physical health. Stress is related to emotional and mental states that can be seen psychologically, namely relaxed and focused, also physiologically through the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), both sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous systems (PNS). Salah, as obligatory Muslim worship, is a coping strategy beneficial for psychological and other aspects, such as physical and neurological health. Salah has a restorative effect, such as reducing mental fatigue and stress, as explained by attention restorative theory (ART) and stress restorative theory (SRT). Salah can reduce stress, psychologically and physiologically, indicated by an increment in PNS [nuHF of heart rate variability (HRV), galvanic skin responses (GSR), heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP) activity and a decrease in SNS (nuLF and LF/HF of HRV) also increase of alpha brainwave which part of the central nervous system (CNS). In terms of focus, concentration, and awareness, salah is perceived as giving the worshiper a better mental state. In addition, salah increases the gamma power, which is part of CNS and related to awareness. Interestingly, the relaxation effect of salah is higher in the prostration position; also, reciting the Holy Quran while doing salah has higher effects on focus and attention than mimic salah. Apart from the obligation of salah, the psychological and physiological benefits of salah should make a Muslim pray obediently, and the finding that reciting the Holy Quran ayah during salah and prostration has a higher effect shows that remembering Allah is vital.

Abstract

The Self is one of the core concepts in Islamic psychology. However, the concept of the Self found in recent Islamic psychology discourse is still quite unclear since its understanding of the soul remains debatable. A deeper study on the concept of the Self should be carried out to refine the essence of the Self in Islamic psychology and straighten the problematic and reductive understanding on these issues. This paper will give brief review on the studies of the Self in Islamic psychology, then provide some views about the challenges and opportunities to develop this concept. Further discussions about this issue are also discussed in this article.

Abstract

A felicitous life has always been the concern of the Islamic society and the present paper aims to explore the documents of Islamic teachings that refer to this issue. The research seems necessary to determine the basic dimensions of life to become operational. In this regard, the present paper tries to study Islamic teachings related to felicitous life and describe and examine its important dimensions using descriptive and analytical methods. By searching the two concepts of "life" and "felicity" in Islamic teachings, the materials related to the basic aspects of a felicitous life can be identified. Islamic texts (verses of the Holy Qur'an and narrations) that are mostly oriented to divinity and hereafter include descriptive and explanatory sentences about how to live. According to Islamic teachings, felicity consists of many components, each of which has a constructive contribution to a felicitous life. Life is a valuable capital and a hidden treasure, in which felicity and success depend on happiness, goodness, and worthiness. Happiness brings us bliss and joy in life; Goodness leads us to ethical living and altruism, and worthiness makes our life purposeful and meaningful. To live well or felicitously, one must learn "how to live" and deal with the important aspects of life.

Abstract

Gender dysphoria refers to the experience of a significant incongruence between an individual's assigned biological sex and their identified gender. Various disciplines, including medical, psychological, and religious perspectives, provide differing explanations for this condition. This article aims to explore the issue of gender dysphoria, examining its causal factors and the Islamic perspective through a comprehensive review of existing literature. According to the literature, the causes of gender dysphoria require further in-depth investigation. Researchers suggest that dysphoric behaviour arises from a complex interplay of psychological and biological factors. Interventions for gender dysphoria may include hormonal treatments and psychological support. Additionally, individuals with gender dysphoria often face impacts and comorbidities related to body image, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. From an Islamic viewpoint, gender dysphoria is considered to contradict the natural order (fitrah) and should be addressed to restore the individual's innate disposition (fitrah).

Abstract

The manuscript investigates the significant influence of the Umrah journey on the psychological well-being of the Muslim faithful. It analyzes the range of emotions pilgrims undergo, from the anxiety of planning to the profound spiritual awakening that they experience through Mecca’s sacred rites. The research highlights the opportunities for self-improvement via the meaningful rituals of Tawaf and Sa’i, as well as the communal solidarity and connection cultivated through collective religious practices. This qualitative study delves into the subjective experiences of ten female participants, aged 25 to 35, following their completion of the Umrah pilgrimage. Utilizing snowball sampling techniques, participants were approached and interviewed face-to-face. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed five key themes: Spiritual Renewal, Emotional Transformations, Sense of Community, Reflective Insights, and Integration into Daily Life. The findings underscore the significant impact of Umrah on participants' spiritual, emotional, and social well-being, highlighting the transformative potential of religious pilgrimages and providing valuable insights for individuals navigating their spiritual journeys.

Abstract

Grieving after losing a husband is a painful experience. This study aims to explore the meaning of grieving following the loss of a husband due to COVID-19 among Muslim women in Surakarta. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach, with 4 Muslim women from the city of Surakarta as informants. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, and data analysis was conducted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results of this study show that not all women interpret the death of their husbands as a purely sorrowful experience. In this study, the loss of a husband was interpreted as: (1) A decree of age from God; (2) A good death brings happiness even amidst grief; (3) The husband's death is a temporary separation. The conclusion of this study is that religiosity influences Muslim women's interpretation of the grieving process and fosters inner peace, happiness, hope, optimism, and wisdom.
