Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to examine the impact of tasawuf (Islamic mysticism) on maintaining mental health. The research employs a library research or literature study method, by collecting and analyzing relevant data from books, scholarly articles, journals, and other reliable sources. The findings reveal that tasawuf contributes significantly to mental health preservation through its spiritual methods, particularly in fostering inner peace and mental stability. In the context of modern life, human beings increasingly experience stress, emotional pressure, frustration, and depression caused by various life challenges. The tasawuf concepts of Takhalli, Tahalli, and Tajalli serve as transformative methods that enhance self-confidence, strengthen tawakkul (trust in God), and cultivate hope that every life problem has a divine solution. These processes generate a positive outlook and inner tranquility grounded in the belief that all affairs will ultimately receive help from Allah SWT. Consequently, such positive attitudes and serenity of the soul have a profound and beneficial impact on one’s mental health.
