Purpose: This study examines the impact of Quranic recitation on emotional well-being, cognitive clarity, and spiritual resilience among a young and educated population. It explores the relationship between these psychological dimensions and evaluates the predictive influence of emotional well-being and cognitive clarity on spiritual resilience.
Methodology: The study employs a descriptive research design. For the study the researcher adopted convenience sampling technique. The data was collected from Muslim students and faculties. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 482 respondents and then scrutinized to 436 respondents neglecting unengaged respondents.
Findings: The results indicate that frequent and prolonged Quranic recitation significantly enhances emotional stability, stress reduction, and cognitive function. Individuals who engage in daily or prolonged recitation experience the highest levels of psychological and spiritual benefits. The correlation analysis confirms strong positive associations among emotional well-being, cognitive clarity, and spiritual resilience. Regression analysis (R² = 0.605) reveals that cognitive clarity exerts a stronger predictive influence on spiritual resilience compared to emotional well-being.
Implications: The study underscores the importance of Quranic recitation in fostering emotional and cognitive well-being. Encouraging regular recitation can serve as a non-pharmacological approach to enhancing emotional regulation, mental focus, and spiritual strength.
