Last modified: 2025-03-10
Abstract
Humans are creations of Allah SWT who are enveloped by various complex feelings and emotions. From happiness, sadness, love, and anger to anxiety, these feelings shape human life experiences and influence how they interact with the surrounding world. Unlike happiness, which has a positive connotation, anxiety and fear can have negative impacts, such as stress and pressure, so it is important to manage these feelings. Realizing the importance of maintaining mental health, the Prophet offered isti'āżah as one of the solutions that can help calm the mind and heart. This research aims to examine the hadith about isti'āzah from a psychological perspective. Methodologically, this type of research falls under the qualitative category, which uses a descriptive approach. From the scientific perspective, it uses explicitly hadith science and religious psychology approaches. The results of this study show that isti‘āżah using the phrase of Allah's words is divided into four classifications: isti‘āżah when traveling, during Sleep, protection against, and from Satan, with statuses ranging from authentic to weak. The implications of the values of hadith on psychology include the development of spiritual dimensions, mental and emotional health, character formation, and influence on behavior, as well as providing meaning and purpose in life. The implications of this research can be narrated that the substance of the isti‘āżah hadith is to bring tranquility to the soul of those who experience fear or anxiety.
