An Gratitude Programme Based on Islamic Teaching for the Well-Being of Emerging Adults
Sponsor: Lincoln University College
Summary
Gratitude practices have been shown to improve well-being but nearly all the programs tested so far were designed without reference to Islamic understanding. This study tests a month-long gratitude program built around the Islamic concept of shukr. Participants complete a short daily journal entry, watch a short video before each day, and attend 5 online group sessions across 4 weeks. The content covers what Shukr (Islamic gratitude) means, how it is expressed towards Allah and towards other people, and how it works during difficult times. Participants are Muslim emerging adults aged 18 to 29 from Pakistan. They are randomly assigned either to the experimental or control group. Well-being and gratitude are measured before the program, at the end of the program, and at a follow-up after three months.
