Absorbent Mind May 11, 2026 Naharin Suroyya
Islamic mindfulness-based healing techniques—muraqabah, tazkiyatun nafs, and muhasabah—effectively enhance self-awareness, emotional regulation, and control over addictive impulses among former drug addicts. The recovery mechanism operates through stages of awareness, self-regulation, and development of adaptive responses. Spiritual transformation occurs, marked by changes in self-identity, increased sense of life meaning, and resilience against relapse. This approach contributes to a comprehensive rehabilitation model that integrates cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual aspects, fostering enduring intrapersonal transformation.
