The value of psychological well-being is an important post-pandemic discourse of covid-19. The impact of this pandemic caused the psychological well-being index of Malaysians at a moderate level with an overall score of 7.2. In this regard, various initiatives at the global level to control the sustainability of psychological well-being through psychospiritual approaches are actively pursued by various parties.

A combination of understanding about it is found to be able to control and stabilise the mind or emotions. In conclusion, the concept of psychospiritual in the Qur’an is significant and deserves to be dignified as part of the complementary mechanism of psychological well-being control.
