Abstract

This study examines the influence of Qur’an-based mindfulness on students’ academic motivation and long-term self-discipline. The research responds to the growing need for a holistic educational approach that integrates spiritual awareness with psychological engagement in the learning process. Using a qualitative library research method, data were collected through a comprehensive review of books, academic journals, and previous studies related to mindfulness, motivation, and discipline within Islamic educational contexts. The findings reveal that Qur’an-based mindfulness strengthens intrinsic motivation, enhances emotional stability, and deepens students’ moral awareness. These factors collectively contribute to the formation of consistent and sustainable academic discipline grounded in faith-based values and ethical responsibility. In addition, reflective engagement with the Qur’an promotes divine consciousness, which supports self-regulation and purposeful learning behavior. The study concludes that integrating Qur’anic reflection and spiritual mindfulness into educational practices provides a transformative framework that supports intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development while fostering disciplined and morally grounded learners.

 

Keywords: Qur’an-Based Mindfulness, Academic Motivation, Self-Discipline Development.
