RESILIENSI SPIRITUAL DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR'AN: STUDI QUR'AN TEMATIK DENGAN PENDEKATAN GROUNDED THEORY

Introduction

Resiliensi spiritual dalam perspektif al-qur'an: studi qur'an tematik dengan pendekatan grounded theory. Temukan resiliensi spiritual dalam Al-Qur'an lewat tafsir tematik & grounded theory. Model konseptualnya mengungkap nilai seperti sabar & tawakkal untuk pertumbuhan spiritual aktif.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of spiritual resilience from the perspective of the Qur'an and construct its conceptual model through a thematic Qur'anic approach (tafsir maudhu’i) combined with grounded theory. The primary research questions are: how does the Qur'an portray spiritual resilience? What values form its foundation? And how are these values interrelated in constructing a Qur'anic framework of spiritual resilience? This research employs a qualitative-exploratory method with data derived from selected Qur'anic verses concerning inner strength, life trials, and spiritual empowerment. The analysis was conducted through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to develop a substantive theory grounded in scriptural texts. Findings reveal that Qur'anic spiritual resilience is built upon values such as ṣabr (patience), tawakkul (trust in God), husnuzhan (positive assumption), gratitude (syukr), and acceptance (ridha), which together form a cyclical pattern of spiritual growth. Qur’anic resilience is not passive, but active and transformative, positioning suffering as a path to spiritual maturity. The resulting model can serve as a foundation for developing Islamic counseling, character education, and Qur'an-based spiritual therapy

Review

This paper presents a highly original and timely exploration into the concept of spiritual resilience, uniquely approaching it from a Qur'anic perspective through the rigorous combination of thematic Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir maudhu’i) and grounded theory. The study’s objective—to delineate how the Qur'an portrays spiritual resilience, identify its foundational values, and construct a conceptual model—is both ambitious and well-defined. The qualitative-exploratory methodology, leveraging open, axial, and selective coding on carefully selected Qur'anic verses related to inner strength and trials, promises a robust, scripturally-grounded understanding that transcends conventional psychological frameworks. This interdisciplinary methodological fusion represents a significant strength, offering a novel pathway for developing indigenous psychological constructs rooted in religious texts. The findings offer a compelling framework for Qur'anic spiritual resilience, identifying core values such as ṣabr (patience), tawakkul (trust in God), husnuzhan (positive assumption), gratitude (syukr), and acceptance (ridha) as interconnected elements forming a "cyclical pattern of spiritual growth." Crucially, the research redefines resilience not as a passive state, but as an active and transformative process where suffering is reframed as a catalyst for spiritual maturity. This insight is particularly powerful, moving beyond mere coping mechanisms to an active engagement with adversity that fosters profound spiritual development. The successful construction of a substantive theory grounded directly in the Qur'anic texts is a testament to the methodical application of grounded theory within a theological context. The resulting conceptual model holds substantial practical and theoretical implications. Its potential application in developing Islamic counseling modalities, enriching character education programs, and forming the basis for Qur'an-based spiritual therapy is explicitly articulated and highly promising. By offering a culturally and spiritually congruent framework for understanding and cultivating resilience, this study makes a significant contribution to both Islamic psychology and the broader field of spiritual well-being. It not only fills a critical gap in the literature but also provides a foundational resource for practitioners and researchers seeking to integrate faith-based principles into resilience-building interventions.
