Tafsir ayat-ayat anxiety: Solusi al-Qur’an (spritual well-bing) terhadap problematika kesedihan dalam kehidupan (Studi Tafsir Mawdu’i)

Abstract

Efforts to control feelings of sadness are something that every individual should do. Apart from being a guidance and Nur, the Al-Qur'an is also a Syifa' (healer), this provides an opportunity to study that the Al-Qur'an is also a solution or cure for mental health or a solution to the sadness experienced by humans. In the verses of the Qur'an, there are many explanations of verses about the concept of controlling sadness, generally explained in the form of stories which, if read with Tadabbur, will be a medicine for sadness. This research method is a qualitative descriptive method using the Mawdlui interpretation theory, by examining in depth the verses that specifically explain sadness.The results of this research found that there are many terms in sad verses (anxiety) in the Koran, including Huzn (حزن) meaning sorrow, G{amm (غمّ) sadness, Asafa (أَسَفَ) pity and others. This research concludes that there are many ways to control the emotion of sadness, including awareness that every human being experiences sadness, even the Prophets, as stated in Yusuf's letter. Second, that reading prayer beads, dhikr and even praying fervently can eliminate feelings of sadness, as in Surah al-Anbiya>. Third, to reduce feelings of sadness is to not look at the luxuries of the world that other people have and realize that the world for believers is not something to be proud of, but rather the quality of their faith. Fourth, it is necessary to realize that when preaching, people are found who ignore or even refuse invitations. This kind of thing must be understood and should not be a cause of deep sadness, because even the Prophet Muhammad, as the best creature, was also rejected by his people and even reviled as in Surah al- Kahf verse 6.
