Mindfulness-based therapy has beneficial effects for individuals with health issues, especially in mental health. However, the potential benefits of mindfulness therapy integrated with Islamic values are unclear. This paper provides a scoping review of the effects of mindfulness practices integrated with Islamic values for individuals with a mental health issue. Materials and method: Five electronic databases (Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, PubMed, and CINAHL) were searched for relevant published literature. Titles, abstracts, and full-text articles were screened for the selection of relevant papers. Results: This article described the potential promising benefits of mindfulness therapy integrated with Islamic values for individuals with a mental health issue. Conclusion: There is a scarcity of research on the effects of mindfulness practices integrated with Islamic values for individuals with mental health issues due to the limitation of the number and methodology of the relevant studies. This paper recommended further study to establish the content and efficacy of mindfulness practices integrated with Islamic values.
