INTEGRASI TASAWUF DALAM BIMBINGAN KONSELING ISLAM: PENDEKATAN TERAPEUTIK

Abstract

Contemporary mental health challenges confronting Muslim individuals have increasingly exposed the limitations of secular psychotherapeutic models in addressing the spiritual and existential dimensions of psychological distress within Islamic ontological frameworks. This study aims to systematically examine the foundational principles of Sufism and to critically explore their integration as a coherent therapeutic framework within Islamic counseling guidance (Bimbingan Konseling Islam/BKI). Employing a qualitative library research methodology, this investigation draws upon classical Sufi texts, contemporary Islamic psychology scholarship, and peer-reviewed research on spiritually integrated psychotherapy. The findings reveal that core Sufi concepts including takhalli (moral purification), tahalli (spiritual embellishment), and tajalli (divine illumination), alongside the therapeutic dimensions of muraqabah, tawbah, and dhikr constitute a systematic and clinically applicable framework for addressing anxiety, existential emptiness, moral disorientation, and relational dysfunction. The study concludes that Sufi-integrated BKI represents a culturally consonant, theologically grounded, and therapeutically viable model for holistic psychological healing in Muslim clients.
