Islamic psychotherapy is an application of treatment methods for patients or clients through responses of the soul, spiritual, mental, emotional and behaviour to obtain calmness in life. It is a form of psychological intervention to treat and cure emotional, spiritual, cognitive and behavioural disorders. Islamic psychotherapy has integrated spiritual elements with particular focus given on the development of al-Ruh, al-'Aql, al-Qalb and al-Nafs in the quest to obtain contentment in life. As such, this study serves to highlight the developmental theories of al-'Aql, al-Qalb and al-Nafs based on reviews of past writings and research. These theories can be applied as a research base when formulating models or modules of Islamic psychotherapy. The research method adopts the qualitative approach based on document analysis conducted through library research to attain data on the position of Islamic psychotherapy as a supportive treatment or to complement mental health and development theories that can be applied in treatment procedures. Research findings indicate that development theories include the reinforcement of aqidah, the practicality of aqidah, perfection of the akhlak (morality), targhib tarhib, ibrah, repentance (taubat), sincerity, strengthening of faith (iman), strengthening of belief in qada' and qadar and so on.
The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges bullying as one of the world's health problems, happening to children and teenagers in between the age of 11 -17 as the harmed subjects. Cultural factor, social inequality, age gap, and obesity lead to such phenomenon. This scenario carries a serious and chronic damage to the subject's mental and physical health, which could lead to death, especially in the global education sector. This study aims (i) To elaborate the bullying scenario signs that are happening in the educational industry, their connection to Islamic morals, and the latest trend of cyber bullying that threatens the lives of today's society, and (ii) To recommend the construction of a new bullying prevention model based on sunnah nabawiyyah. Other than that, the research on six bullying prevention models now in use across the globe revealed no reference of spirituality or religion as the models' underlying principles. Therefore, the creation of a model to avoid bullying based on sunnah nabawiyyah is necessary and advised in the educational field, particularly in this country. This is in line with the Shared Prosperity Vision (SPV) 2030, the National Social Policy (NSP), and the Malaysian Education Blueprint (MEB) 2013 -2025.
