Abstract

Mental health concerns have become increasingly widespread across society, with university students representing a particularly vulnerable demographic. A notable rise in suicide cases has been linked to individuals' difficulties in coping with stress and depressive symptoms. This study examines the association between adherence to the five daily ṣalāh (ṣalāh) and stress management among Muslim university students. Participants included 55 students (22 men and 33 women) enrolled in an Islamic Psychology course at an Indonesian Islamic university. Correlation analyses, conducted using Jamovi for Windows, revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between ṣalāh regularity and stress management (r = 0.421, p < .001). Regression analysis further indicated that ṣalāh regularity was a significant predictor of improved stress management (F = 11.4, t = 3.38, p = 0.001, R² = 0.177). These findings suggest that maintaining consistent engagement in ṣalāh may enhance psychological resilience, enabling Muslim students to navigate life challenges with greater emotional and cognitive stability. The study underscores the potential role of structured religious practices in mitigating stress and recommends further investigation into culturally grounded coping mechanisms."
