Abstract

The phenomenon of increasing academic stress among students due to study pressure, competition, and the demands of educational digitization requires a more holistic approach to maintaining mental health. This article examines Islamic psychological interventions as an integrative approach that combines the power of the mind, faith, and resilience in managing academic stress. Using a descriptive qualitative method based on literature analysis from national and international journals, this study shows that spiritual practices such as zikir therapy, Islamic mindfulness, tadabbur Al-Qur'an, and tazkiyatun nafs can reduce stress levels while strengthening students' academic resilience. The integration of Islamic values in psychological therapy has been proven to create emotional balance, increase self-awareness, and foster inner meaning and tranquility. Therefore, campuses are advised to develop Islamic value-based counseling services as a preventive strategy against mental disorders among students and as a means of shaping strong, faithful, and competitive academic character.
