Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has presented various psychological challenges for Generation Z santri, including increased stress, identity confusion, and declining resilience. Amid these challenges, pesantren possess rich spiritual traditions that serve as valuable cultural resources for strengthening students’ psychological resilience. This study aimed to explore indigenous values embedded in Madurese pesantren traditions as a foundation for Indigenous Spiritual Counseling, describe the implementation of spiritual guidance within the pesantren environment, and examine its contribution to fostering resilience among Generation Z santri. A case study design was conducted at Al-Amien Prenduan and Annuqayah Latee pesantren in Sumenep Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis involving six participants selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that values such as adab (good conduct), ta’dzim (profound respect for religious teachers), khidmah (service), akhlaq al-karimah (noble character), religious habituation, discipline, and adherence to pesantren rules constitute important foundations for character development and enhanced resilience. Furthermore, spiritual formation through congregational prayer, qiyam al-layl, Qur’anic recitation, dhikr, guidance from religious teachers, and distinctive Madurese pesantren traditions significantly strengthens students’ emotional regulation, adaptive capacity, and ability to recover from adversity. This study concludes that Indigenous Spiritual Counseling grounded in Madurese pesantren traditions offers a culturally responsive and contextually relevant counseling framework for fostering resilience among Generation Z santri in the digital era.
