Konsep self-awareness dalam al-nafs al-lawwāmah

Kajian Tafsir rūḣ al-ma’ānī dan Psikoanalisis Freud

Abstract

The mental health crisis in Indonesia, especially among teenagers, is increasingly rising due to social pressure, technological advances, and high life expectations. This phenomenon encourages the emergence of self-healing practices as an alternative recovery method, which is often shallow and temporary due to a lack of understanding of the root causes. The purpose of this study is to examine the interpretation of Rūḣ al-Ma‘ānī on Q.S. Al-Qiyamah verse 2 and its correlation with Freud's psychoanalysis in forming the concept of self-awareness. The method used is a qualitative literature-based study. The results show that al-nafs al-lawwāmah in the Tafseer Rūḣ al-Ma‘ānī is understood as the soul that regrets and self-corrects, in line with the function of the Ego in Freud's psychoanalysis, which acts as a mediator between the Id and Superego. Both merge to form the concept of self-awareness that is psychological, moral, and transcendental. This concept contributes to encouraging self-reflection, behavioral improvement, and soul balance, making it potentially a more meaningful and profound alternative for mental recovery.
