ABSTRACT
This study examines the dimensions of emotional regulation in Hadith from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim using a qualitative, descriptive-analytic library research approach. It identifies and analyses key Hadith related to emotional regulation, highlighting three core principles. First, the Hadith on the heart as the leader of the body emphasises its central role in guiding emotions. Second, the Hadith on controlling anger underscores the importance of evaluating and managing emotional responses. Third, the Hadith on calamities as a means of expiating sins illustrates the transformation of negative emotions into opportunities for spiritual growth. These findings demonstrate the potential for integrating Islamic teachings into mental health interventions, offering a framework that combines religious values with contemporary psychological approaches. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of emotional regulation and its relevance to enhancing mental health, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being). By incorporating these principles, mental health practitioners can adopt a holistic approach that strengthens emotional well-being through spiritual and psychological insights.
