TASAWUF DAN PSIKOLOGI POSITIF: MENJEMBATANI SPIRITUALITAS DAN KESEJAHTERAAN PSIKOLOGI

Abstract

This research aims to understand how the combination of Sufism and positive psychology can bridge the gap between spiritual and psychological aspects in achieving optimal psychological well-being. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review method, which is a research method that elaborates on the content of findings so that they can serve as research examples by summarizing or clarifying the discussion of the issues to be investigated, through articles or journals and also references from books to provide a strong foundation in the content or discussion. The results of this study indicate that spirituality plays an important role in supporting psychological well-being, as it can provide deeper meaning and purpose in life, helping individuals face life's challenges in a more positive and hopeful manner. In many traditions, including Islam, spirituality is associated with practices that help individuals draw closer to God and develop inner awareness, such as through prayer, dhikr, and self-introspection (muhasabah). It also shows that spiritual practices can complement modern psychological therapy by offering holistic solutions that encompass mental, emotional, and social aspects. The combination of these spiritual practices with modern psychology creates a framework for enhancing psychological well-being amidst the complex challenges of life.
