Abstract

Bugis Muslims in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, have faced increased psychological stress due to the pandemic. This research examines the psychological resilience of Muslim parents, the role of family religious practices, and the dynamics of resilience within Muslim communities. Using qualitative research with a case study approach, both primary and secondary data were collected. Participants were Muslim parents with children aged 0-16, selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation, with validity ensured by source triangulation. Data analysis employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as per Smith's guidelines. Findings reveal that Muslim parents' resilience is reflected in their beliefs, family structures, and communication strategies. Religious practices are evident in creating a religious atmosphere, tilawati practice, role modeling, and habituation. These practices enhance commitment, mutual appreciation, spirituality, conflict resolution, and positive behavior. The study's implications span psychological interventions, understanding the religion-mental health link, and culturally informed mental health policies.
