2025-05-06T16:32:51+00:00

The concept of kesempitan jiwa (constriction of the soul) refers to a state of discomfort, anxiety, sadness, or emotional and spiritual suffering that one might experience. This constriction fundamentally originates from within the heart, where it induces a sense of suffering. The soul, in this context, is understood as encompassing the entirety of a person's inner life, including feelings, thoughts, imagination, and more. This study employs a qualitative approach, focusing on literature analysis from sources such as books, journals, papers, and other writings. It is a type of library research. This research finds, firstly, that the constriction of the soul in the Qur'an is associated with the term dhayq, which refers to a state where the heart feels tight due to excessive sadness, fear, worry, and anxiety over matters that are difficult to accept. Secondly, dhayq arises from various causes, such as arrogance within oneself, excessive worry about something, and fear that originates from within a person, disturbing their inner peace. According to the Qur'an, overcoming this constriction of the soul can be achieved through patience, seeking help from Allah, and avoiding negative assumptions. Thirdly, some scholars argue that humans are created with a tendency toward restlessness and anxiety, which is reflected in their behavior.
