THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DA’WAH APPROACH IN THE REHABILITATION OF DELINQUENT BEHAVIOUR AMONG FEMALE ADOLESCENTS: A CASE STUDY
Pendekatan Psikologi Dakwah dalam Pemulihan Tingkah Laku Delinkuen Remaja Perempuan: Satu Kajian Kes
Abstract
The delinquent behaviour of female adolescents is becoming increasingly alarming, as their involvement extends beyond violations of social norms to include activities that breach legal boundaries. This reality calls for a more comprehensive and holistic alternative approach to effectively understand and address the issue. The psychological da’wah approach holds significant potential in tackling this problem, as it integrates psychological guidance with Islamic preaching principles, particularly in the rehabilitation of the soul and character. This study employed a quantitative survey design, with data collected through a structured questionnaire. A total of 42 female adolescents residing at Asrama Bahagia, Kampung Pandan, Kuala Lumpur were purposefully selected as respondents. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and mean) via SPSS version 23. The findings revealed that the three most prevalent forms of delinquent behaviour were engaging in sexual activities, using vape, and truancy. In terms of the psychological da’wah approach, respondents reported the most positive impact from practices such as reciting Surah al-Fatihah, making supplications (du‘a), and seeking forgiveness (istighfar). The study concludes that the tazkiyah al-nafs approach is the most suitable method for rehabilitating at-risk adolescents, as it emphasises soul purification and self-development grounded in faith-based values. The implications of this study underscore the need to strengthen integrated da’wah intervention modules within adolescent rehabilitation institutions in Malaysia.
