Description
Summary:This article explores a combined approach of Qur’ānic counseling with psychotherapy to deal with the process of trauma recovery by highlighting spiritual wisdom with evidence-based psychological interventions. Trauma can leave deep wounds inside a person, affecting their mind and emotions. To heal these wounds, we look at two different approaches: Qur’ānic counseling and psychotherapy. The Qur’ān, a holy book in Islam, offers guidance and wisdom on how to cope with difficulties and find strength in hard times. Stated Allah Almighty in the Holy Qur’ān "And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss," (Qur’ān, 17: 82). Islamic teachings provide wealth of insight and direction for dealing with adversity.   Psychotherapy, on the other hand, offers strategies for understanding and managing trauma-related symptoms to help people overcome their psychological struggles. By combining psychotherapy with Qur'ānic teachings, a holistic approach to trauma recovery is created. This integrated method uses proven psychotherapy techniques and spiritual guidance from the Qur'ān to support trauma survivors effectively. Overall, this article aims to show how blending spiritual guidance with psychological support can offer hope and healing to those who have experienced trauma.
