"This book provides a framework on integrating spiritual interventions based on Islamic jurisprudence (Shari’ah) with psychosocial therapeutic interventions. Covering both the theoretical and theological underpinning of religious coping from an Islāmic perspective, this text delivers an integrative approach which can be used in psychotherapy to ensure a more holistic process of healing and well-being. It outlines the positive and essential contributions that interventions rooted in Qur’ânic and Sunnah can make in terms of prevention, treatment, and recovery. Chapters focus on highlighting the importance of daily supplications and prayers, as well as other Prophetic remedies as part of a comprehensive, encompassing therapeutic plan for not only psychospiritual, but also physiological afflictions. This book is an accessible guide to using Islāmic spiritual interventions in therapeutic practice for mental health practitioners, trainees, and students of Islāmic psychology."Bagus Riyono, President of the International Association of Muslim Psychologists (IAMP)
