Abstract

Generation Z, having grown up in the digital age, faces significant psychological challenges, including increased anxiety, depression, and identity crises. While contemporary psychological frameworks address these issues, they often lack the spiritual dimension crucial for holistic well-being among Muslim youth. Therefore, this study investigates the integration of Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab with the recovery theory by Sonnentag and Fritz (2007), specifically focusing on the mental and spiritual well-being of Generation Z. By using a qualitative approach with descriptive-interpretative analysis, this study illustrates how Shihab's contextual interpretation of the Qur'an provides a robust spiritual framework for managing modern psychological pressures. The research demonstrates that the four dimensions of recovery—psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control—can be deeply aligned with Islamic practices. Specifically, these dimensions correspond to prayer (sholat), remembrance of Allah (dhikr), the obligation to seek knowledge, and managing leisure time according to Sharia principles. The findings suggest that integrating spiritual practices with contemporary recovery theory can significantly foster emotional resilience, offering a comprehensive approach to mental health recovery that encompasses both psychological and spiritual dimensions.
