Psychospiritual Therapy Based on the Concept of Peace of Soul According to Al-Tafsir Al-Kabir in Dealing with At-Risk Adolescents

Abstract

At-risk adolescents spiritual weakness is mostly caused by a lack of understanding about faith, worship, and values, which has an impact on their well-being. As a result, the purpose of this article is to highlight the concept of peace of soul through Fakhr al-Din al-Razi’s interpretation of relevant Quranic verses from his work al-Tafsir al-Kabir and its application as Islamic psychospiritual therapy. This study uses a qualitative method, analysing al-Razi’s interpretation and its relationship to the elements of Islamic psychotherapy. The study’s findings indicate that al-Razi’s interpretation of verses about peace of mind could be applied to faith therapy, worship therapy, Sufism therapy, and intellectual therapy when dealing with at-risk youth. This result emphasises the importance of relationships with Allah SWT, such as religion and good deeds, in developing psychological stability. As a result, this study recommends that Islamic Psychotherapy therapy based on al-Razi’s interpretation be used to design more effective and integrated intervention programs for dealing with the psychological difficulties of today's teenagers.
