The implications of this research are significant for educators and policymakers. Trained teachers can create more inclusive and supportive learning environments, while policymakers can utilize these findings to design training programs and curricula that enhance student well-being. This study makes an important contribution to the literature on Islamic education by identifying effective strategies and methods for integrating positive psychology principles. In conclusion, the application of positive psychology principles in Islamic education can improve student well-being and academic achievement.
