Abstract: Islamic ethical spirituality plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' psychosocial well-being, particularly in multicultural counselling and interfaith dialogue contexts. This qualitative study (n = 25) explores the integration of Islamic thought within these frameworks to enhance emotional and psychological health. The research, grounded in Islamic ethical principles, investigates how spiritual practices and ethical values influence coping mechanisms, emotional resilience, and interpersonal relationships. The study focuses on understanding the lived experiences of individuals who apply Islamic ethical spirituality daily and its impact on their overall psychosocial well-being. The findings suggest that Islamic spirituality fosters emotional balance, ethical behaviour, and constructive dialogue across diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. These insights have practical implications for counsellors and practitioners, providing them with a valuable resource for enhancing individual and collective well-being in multicultural and interfaith settings.
