Sufism Heritage in Healtcare: The Influence of Sufi Healing on Mental Health Development
Abstract
Amidst the wave of modernization, Sufi healing is attracting new attention, especially regarding mental health. In 2023, IPSOS Global research considered mental health as a top concern around various health issues for 44% of respondents in 31 countries. This article explores the influence of Sufi healing on the development of mental health and its relevance today. Using a qualitative approach, the research examined multiple sources through a critical analysis literature study. The resources included Sufi texts, academic studies, and Sufi values in the history of mental health. Findings show that Sufi interventions significantly shape the development of mental health, which includes self-awareness, serenity, happiness, quality of life, spirituality, mental well-being, and holistic balance. Sufi practices offer diverse methods to address mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. With the increasing complexity of society's mental health, alternative therapies are becoming increasingly popular, warranting the integration of Sufi therapies as viable alternatives to mental health therapy.
