Reconstruction of the Concept of Well-Being in Western Psychology and Happiness from Al-Ghazali’s Perspective as the Foundation of Mental Health Education in the Digital Era

Adolescent mental health in the digital era faces increasingly complex challenges, while dominant Western psychology approaches have not fully incorporated spirituality as a core dimension of well-being. This study aims to analyze the concept of well-being in Western psychology, examine Al-Ghazali's concept of sa'adah, and reconstruct an integrative framework for mental health education. Using library research with a descriptive qualitative approach and content analysis, the study finds that Western psychology, through Diener's Subjective Well-Being and Seligman's PERMA model, provides a strong scientific framework but emphasizes individualistic and secular perspectives. In contrast, Al-Ghazali highlights ma'rifatullah, tazkiyatun nafs, and ukhuwwah as foundations of sa'adah. Their synthesis produces an Integrative Well-Being Model based on the principle of tawazun with four interconnected pillars, offering a balanced framework that combines scientific and spiritual dimensions to strengthen adolescent mental health education in the digital era.
