Summary: | ABSTRACT
Counseling is a profession that is concerned with all aspects of development for the
individual client and this is synonymous with the philosophy of wellness. Even though the
wellness emphasis is not well understood and is not systematically taught or applied due
to ongoing debates among Western scholars about this concept and despite confusion
with the usage of various terms to refer to wellness, the concept of wellness has the
potential to be integrated with the naqli and aqli knowledge in counseling. In Islam,
this concept has long been discussed. It is hoped that by comparing the Islamic concept
of welness to the Western perspective would help increase the understanding of this
concept and highlight its application in counseling as an example of the integration of
revealed knowledge and rational science. This paper will discuss briefly the concept of
wellness from the perspective of Islam and the West, as well as looking at some common
grounds and differences between the two views. Both views agree that wellness is a
lifelong process that is holistic, comprising of multiple dimensions. However, the Islamic
view of this concept is broader and complements the existing view on wellness. The
implication of this study to the field of counseling includes refocusing counseling to the
developmental aspect of an individual that comprised of not only remediation but also
prevention. ABSTRAK
Kesejahteraan merupakan tunjang kepada bidang kaunseling. Kaunseling adalah
suatu profesion yang menekankan keseluruhan aspek perkembangan dan pertumbuhan
diri seseorang individu klien, dan ini adalah sinonim dengan falsafah kesejahteraan.
Walaupun penekanan terhadap kesejahteraan tidak difahami dengan jelas malah tidak
diajar mahupun diaplikasikan secara sistematik disebabkan oleh perdebatan yang masih
berterusan dalam kalangan sarjana Barat dan kekeliruan hasil penggunaan istilah yang
pelbagai yang merujuk kepada kesejahteraan, namun kesejahteraan merupakan suatu
konsep yang berpotensi dalam pengintegrasian ilmu naqli dan aqli dalam kaunseling.
Memandangkan dalam Islam konsep kesejahteraan ini telah banyak dibincangkan,
perbandingannya dengan perspektif Barat diharap dapat memperjelaskan lagi kefahaman
tentang konsep ini, seterusnya memudahkan pengaplikasiannya dalam kaunseling
sebagai suatu contoh bagi mengintegrasikan ilmu naqli dan aqli. Justeru, kertas kerja
ini akan mengupas serba ringkas tentang konsep kesejahteraan daripada perspektif
Islam dan Barat, di samping melihat kepada beberapa titik persamaan dan perbezaan
antara kedua-dua pandangan. Kedua-dua perspektif bersetuju bahawa kesejahteraan
adalah suatu proses sepanjang hayat yang menyeluruh merangkumi pelbagai dimensi.
Walau bagaimanapun, pandangan Islam terhadap konsep melengkapkan lagi konsep ini
daripada perspektif Barat dengan mengetengahkannya sebagai suatu konsep yang lebih
luas. Implikasi kepada kaunseling termasuk memfokuskan semula kaunseling kepada
aspek perkembangan diri individu yang melibatkan bukan hanya rawatan tetapi juga
pencegahan. |
