Solusi Al-Qur’an terhadap Fenomena FoMO (Fear of Missing Out)

Abstract

This research aims to offer a preventive solution to Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) syndrome, which is a syndrome of anxiety caused by the perception that other people have more satisfying experiences than oneself. The fundamental factor triggering the onset of this syndrome is the low level of life satisfaction in a person, which is further exacerbated by the temptation of other people's enjoyment of life on social media. In this case, the researcher examines two verses of the Qur'an, namely Q.S Ibrāhim: 7 and Q.S al-Hājj: 36 to explore and find solutions to the FoMO phenomenon from the Qur'anic perspective. The research method in this article is a literature study that seeks to study and understand theories from various written literature related to the research topic. The results showed that Q.S Ibrāhim : 7 and Q.S al-Hājj : 36 can be an antidote solution to the FoMO phenomenon. These two verses contain the essence of two noble life attitudes, namely gratitude and qana'ah, which are very appropriate to fight the triggering factor of FoMO in the form of low levels of life satisfaction.
