Abstract

This research examines the implementation of the Islamic concept of mindfulness as an approach to spiritual and emotional learning in schools. The study is grounded in the growing academic, social, and emotional pressures faced by students, which significantly impact their mental well-being. The aim of this research is to explore how Sufi practices such as muraqabah and dzikr can be applied in the educational settings to enhance the students’ mental and spiritual balance. A case study method was employed, involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires with teachers and students at schools that implement Islamic mindfulness activities. The findings revealed that the practice of morning dhikr and reflective worship enhances inner peace, reduces anxiety, improves concentration during learning, and fosters positive social relationships among students. In conclusion, Islamic mindfulness not only offers psychological benefits but also cultivates profound spiritual balance. The findings suggest that integrating Islamic mindfulness into school environments can be an effective strategy for shaping students' character—encouraging patience, trust in God, and gratitude—while supporting a harmonious and productive learning atmosphere.
