Abstract


This article discusses the role of Islamic counseling in helping students overcome
existential crises in the postmodern era. Postmodern conditions characterized by uncertainty,
identity fragmentation, and the weakening of absolute values make many students experience
existential anxiety, loss of meaning in life, and spiritual emptiness. Using a descriptive
qualitative method based on literature study, this research examines the principles of Islamic
counseling such as monotheism, tazkiah al-nafh, self-awareness, and value-based counseling.
The results of the study show that Islamic counseling is able to provide spiritual strengthening,
help shape life's meaning, facilitate self-transcendence, and provide direction in identity
formation. Counselors help students understand inner struggles, reconnect with divine values,
and build resilience through spiritual practices. Islamic counseling has proven to be relevant
and adaptive in answering students' existential problems in the postmodern era. This article
concludes that Islamic counseling has a transformational role, namely not only in emotional
support, but also in restoring spiritual stability and meaning in students' lives .
