Insights from the Prophet Muhammad's Hadith on Agoraphobia (A Thematic Study)

Abstract

Agoraphobia is a maladaptive behavior characterized by excessive fear and anxiety in certain places or situations, which affects the psychological and physical condition of the sufferer and hinders social interaction. This study aims to analyze the quality of hadith about agoraphobia, understand the nature of related hadith, and identify its impact in daily life. The method used is library research with a qualitative approach, focusing on analyzing the validity and relevance of the data. The results showed that the four traditions analyzed were of sahih lidzatihi quality. The nature of the hadith emphasizes the importance of understanding that not all gatherings bring danger, motivation can improve self-quality, patience is peace of mind, and prayer is an essential need. The impact of agoraphobia includes difficulty in social interaction, loss of self-confidence, emotional numbness, and barriers to self-expression. This research provides insight that the disadvantages of agoraphobia are not permanent obstacles, but can be overcome through solutions taught by the Prophet, such as prayer, motivation, and patience, thus helping sufferers become better individuals and mentally resilient.
