Abstract

Islamic personality can be understood as a psychological and spiritual construct that develops through value internalization, self-reflection, and lived experience; however, how individuals construct and interpret it in everyday life remains insufficiently explored from a subjective perspective. This study aims to examine the processes of construction, internalization, and meaning-making of Islamic personality and its role in shaping moral identity, self-regulation, and life orientation. A qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed to capture in-depth subjective experiences. A total of 10 participants were selected purposively based on their active engagement in religious practice and reflective awareness. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed systematically through coding, identification of emergent themes, and development of superordinate themes. The findings reveal that Islamic personality develops as a dynamic process involving the internalization of moral and spiritual values, integration of belief and behavior, strengthening of self-regulation, construction of existential meaning, and enhancement of psychological resilience and emotional stability. It also functions as an identity framework that provides direction, coherence, and consistency in navigating contemporary life challenges. These findings highlight its role in supporting identity development, psychological well-being, and moral integrity, while offering a conceptual basis for spiritually integrated interventions, character education, and value-based counseling approaches.
