The Impact of "Remembrance of God" on the Mental Health of Young People with Emphasis on the Quran and Nahj al-Balagha

Abstract

This article aims to examine the impact of "Remembrance of God" on the mental health of young people from the perspective of the Holy Quran and the recommendations of Nahj al-Balagha. Considering the importance and priority of mental health for youth in today's society, this research seeks to explore the role of "Remembrance of God" in strengthening and improving mental health among young individuals. The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizes library research methods. It first identifies the concepts and principles related to mental health in the Quran and Nahj al-Balagha and then analyzes their connection to various components of mental health. The findings indicate that Quranic teachings and the recommendations of Imam Ali (A.S.) in Nahj al-Balagha, particularly the emphasis on the remembrance of God, have a significant impact on enhancing and stabilizing the mental health of young people. These teachings, by fostering self-confidence, creating inner peace, reducing anxiety, and promoting religious and ethical identity, can serve as an effective approach to improving mental health.
