Abstract
This study discusses the application of technology in Islamic psychology through digital dhikr applications, spiritual educational content in social media, and the application of technology in Islamic therapy and counseling.
This research will provide deeper insight into the adaptation of technology in Islamic psychology and how its application can make a positive contribution to human well-being in two interrelated dimensions: spiritual and psychological.
The research methodology uses a qualitative approach with case studies of Muslim individuals who use digital dhikr applications, spiritual educational content and Islamic therapy digitally. The data were analyzed qualitatively through literature review with a focus on changes in spiritual and psychological dimensions. The use of technology in Islamic therapy and counseling provides flexibility in overcoming geographical and time barriers. Literature studies support the positive potential of digital dhikr applications in improving psychological and spiritual well-being. Social media is also important in conveying messages of spiritual education. Although challenges such as the negative impact of technology on spiritual development and conflicts of spiritual values arise, technology also offers opportunities for innovative solutions. Previous studies provide guidance in developing useful technologies in Islamic psychology>
