A systemic approach of individual resilience from a religious perspective: An Islamic model of individual resilience

Background and Objectives: Islam is a lifestyle consistent with the world realities to guide humans through difficulties in life. Resilience has been highly recommended in religious doctrine, yet has been less explored within a comprehensive scientific model from a religious perspective. This study aimed to proposed the structure and conceptual model of resilience at the individual level based on religious perspective. Methods: The present study was a literature review based on Islamic literature within a system dynamic graphical model. Firstly, by a detailed study of the theoretical literature of research and analysis of researchers' studies in the field of resilience with religious viewpoint, a conceptual model was designed using system dynamic methodology. Secondly, based on the conceptual model and dynamic assumptions made from the action-reactions between the factors involved in the resilience system, qualitative modeling was performed as drawing causal diagrams for resilience and its subsets using Vensim ۷.۳.    Results: The results showed that the four components of individual resilience including belief to the wisdom and will of God, trust in God, piety and patience as the sub-systems were all interacting with each other within a relatively complex dynamic system. Conclusion: On this basis, it seems from an Islamic perspective, in order to individual resilience reinforcement, it is necessary to pay serious attention to create and strengthen of the resilience subsystems in the individual.
