Skizofrenia dalam Pandangan Islam: Apakah Karena Gangguan Jin?

Abstract

Religion is one of the most important aspects in living life. How good a person's calm and peaceful behavior and demeanor is can be seen from an individual's devotion to religion and closeness to the Creator. Religion also cannot be separated from discussing mental health in order to achieve inner peace. In an Islamic perspective, mental health is an individual's ability to manage his mental functions so that people can adapt to themselves, other people and the surrounding environment so that they work in harmony by using the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah as a guide in living life. Religion is also a reference for healing people affected by mental disorders, one of which is schizophrenia. In Islam itself, it discusses the existence of Jinn and their relationship to humans so that humans can be said to have a sixth sense or indigo people. Some people believe that Indigo is a disturbance caused by Jinn because Indigo people can see things that normal people in general cannot see. There are even some thoughts that say that Indigo people are people who suffer from schizophrenia. Therefore, here we conducted a study using a quantitative approach with a questionnaire method which aims to see whether schizophrenia is caused by jinn disorders and whether there are differences between Indigo and people with schizophrenia.
