Kashif, Ayesha2026-04-272026-04-272025https://repository.iou.edu.gm/handle/123456789/716In an era where anxiety (khawf) and depression (hazan) are leading causes of global disability, secular psychological models often focus on symptom management while neglecting the existential dimensions of suffering. This study addresses this gap by investigating an indigenous Islamic framework for emotional resilience, termed "Resilience Through Revelation", grounded in Surah Yunus (10:62-63). The research posits that the Quranic state of Wilāyah (Divine Friendship), characterized by the negation of Fear and grief, is an attainable psychological reality for the believer. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, the study integrates an exegetical analysis of classical Tafsir with semi-structured interviews of 10 Islamic Scholars and Academics specializing in Tafsir, Islamic Psychology, and Spiritual Counseling from the Punjab and Islamabad regions. The research explores how the core attributes of Īmān (Faith) and Taqwā (God-consciousness) function as protective factors against psychological distress, facilitating the soul’s evolution toward An-Nafs al-Muṭma’innah (the Contented Self). The findings reveal that the "No Fear, No Grief" promise in Surah Yunus is operationalized through cognitive-spiritual mechanisms, primarily Dhikr (Remembrance) and Fikr (Reflection). While identifying a conceptual convergence with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the results highlight the distinct advantage of the Islamic model in providing a transcendental "Secure Base." The study concludes that attaining Wilāyah fosters the development of the Contented Self, offering a faith-based solution to emotional instability. This research contributes to Islamic Psychology by translating theological concepts into practical therapeutic insights for counselors and educators. It is recommended that clinical pastoral education programs integrate these Quranic definitions of resilience to better serve Muslim populations.WilāyahSurah YunusIslamic PsychologyResilienceNafs al-Muṭma’innahTaqwāThesis
