Abstract

Mental health has become a crucial determinant of family resilience amidst increasing
socioeconomic pressures affecting Muslim households in Indonesia and Malaysia.
However, previous studies have largely examined mental health from a psychological or
public health perspective, with limited attention to its comparative role in strengthening
Muslim family resilience through an Islamic psychology framework. This study aims to
comparatively analyze the contribution of mental health to family resilience in Indonesia
and Malaysia from an Islamic psychology perspective. This study employed a normative
method using Islamic psychology and a comparative approach. Data were collected through
systematic literature review of the Quran, Hadith, scientific journals, policy documents, and
related literature, and analyzed using qualitative comparative content analysis to identify
convergent themes and contextual differences between the two countries. The findings
suggest that family resilience is shaped not only by emotional well-being but also by the
integration of Islamic spiritual values, including patience, tawakkal (trust), gratitude, and self-control, which serve as adaptive coping mechanisms to socioeconomic and family
stress. Further comparative analysis suggests that differences in the sociocultural contexts of
implementation influence these values in strengthening family resilience. This study
provides a comparative Islamic psychological framework that integrates mental health and
spiritual resilience as complementary dimensions for developing sustainable Muslim family
resilience in Indonesia and Malaysia.
