Abu Bakar Atjeh, a well-known Indonesian scholar, believes that <em>tazkiyah al-nafs </em>is one of the most effective medications for people suffering from mental health conditions. Hence, this article aims to explore the concept of <em>tazkiyah al-nafs </em>by Abu Bakar Atjeh and its relevance in addressing mental health problems. This study is library research with a qualitative approach. Data was obtained using documentation techniques, and the collected data was analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. The research concludes that there are two ways to achieve mental health through the <em>tazkiyah al-nafs </em>method, namely <em>khalwah</em> and <em>żi</em><em>kr</em>. The conclusion in this paper is that <em>tazkiyah al-nafs </em>has a positive and comprehensive impact because of its holistic and spiritual-based approach so that these concepts of <em>khalwah</em> and <em>żikr</em> in <em>tazkiyah al-nafs </em>can be applied to various mental health problems.</p> Ihwan Agustono Nur Hadi Ihsan Fahmi Habibi Musthofa Copyright (c) 2024 2024-10-12 2024-10-12 9 2 133 150 10.22515/dinika.v9i2.9421
