This study was conducted by reviewing articles published between 2014 and 2024 from the Scopus database. The results indicate that the dimension of Islamic spirituality plays a significant protective factor in the prevention and treatment of suicidal ideation. Islamic values such as tawakkul (religious trust), patience, and the meaning of life provide psychological strength, while Islamic counseling has proven effective when integrated with modern psychotherapy approaches.
