“…Furthermore, some practicing Muslims may be hesitant to undertake traditional interventions of CBT owing to conflict in values, for instance, the idea of self as the position of authority or an autonomous self (Hamdan, 2008; Husain & Hodge, 2016; Rathod et al, 2010; Subhas et al, 2021). Surrendering the self to Allah, rather than self-actualization, is considered the route to foster well-being in Islam (Husain & Ross-Sheriff, 2010; Rizvi et al, 2021; Smither & Khorsandi, 2009).…”

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered to be an evidence-based psychological intervention for a wide range of mental health issues. This article systematically reviewed published empirical studies of CBT adapted for use within a religious context, specifically Islamically modified CBT (iCBT) for Muslims. The aim was to determine the extent to which this therapy can be considered an empirically supported treatment. We searched Medline, Embase, Education Resources Information Center/ProQuest, ScienceDirect, PubMed, APA PsycInfo, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, Google Scholar, and evidence-based medicine Reviews (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials). All articles from inception to April 25, 2022 were included. The general inclusion criteria were patients of all age groups, primary diagnosis of any mental health issue, and CBT with components derived from Islam. Of the 2,091 unique articles identified during the initial search, nine studies with a total of 622 participants met our inclusion criteria. These comprised seven experimental design studies and two single-case design studies. The mental health outcomes were predominantly assessed through measures such as Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), etc. The findings indicated that iCBT interventions incorporating religious aspects showed potential benefits in reducing symptoms and improving functioning among religious individuals with mood and anxiety disorders. iCBT is a therapeutic approach informed by Muslim clients’ own Islamic beliefs, practices, and resources. It may help clients with mental health issues to develop thoughts and behaviors that enhance mental well-being. Our findings indicated that modifying CBT by adding religious/Islamic aspects may be suitable management for religious Muslims with mental health issues. The results are promising but require confirmation and refinement by further research.

“…It takes a different approach by considering the influence of spiritual and transcendental elements in wellbeing. Rizvi and Pasha-Zaidi (2021) explain that for practicing Muslims, the goal of life is not the attainment of complete happiness, but rather a complete submission and orientation toward God. The second example is drawn from Vedantic tradition which one of the most prominent tributaries of Indian culture.…”

Maslow coined the construct of positive psychology (PP) (1954) and visualized the creation of human-oriented organizations by people pursuing self-actualization (Maslow, 1965). However, it took others three decades to pick up the thread (Seligman, 1991(Seligman, , 1999Snyder, 1995). PP represents a paradigm focused on the strengths of people (i.e. what is right about them) rather than their weaknesses and how people can achieve optimal functioning and full potential (Seligman, 2002). Positive organizational behavior and scholarship have developed on the foundation of PP (Luthans, 2002;Cameron and Dutton, 2003). Positive organizational scholarship (POS) is found to be of great value in almost every aspect of the management of organizations (See Cameron and Spreitzer, 2012). A POS lens looks at the generative dynamics (i.e. life-building, capability-enhancing and capacity-creating) in and of organizations that influences general and developmental experience at work and the cultivation of strengths at individual, group and organizational levels. Normative (i.e. good) aspects of organizational behavior are seriously considered in POS, which in turn affect the nature of relationships between individuals and among team members (e.g. Geue, 2018), organizational performance (e.g. Kelly and Cameron, 2017), organizational strategy (e.g. Stavros and Wooten, 2012) and interaction of business and society (e.g. Mazutis and Slawinski, 2015).The second wave of PP recognizes the difficulty of categorizing phenomena as either positive or negative, and flourishing is said to be dependent upon a complex balance and harmonization of the light and dark sides of life (Lomas and Ivtzan, 2016). For example, self-esteem is a positive trait, but inflated self-esteem leads to vulnerability to depression in the face of challenging situations in life. Or, for that matter, freedom is desirable but excessive choices lead to lower satisfaction. This special issue attempts to bring the contributions from South Asia to the field of PP and positive organizational psychology. This fits well with the ongoing conversation in the second wave of PP, which emphasizes learning from indigenous psychology.South Asia has a population of 1.6 billion with much religious diversity. The traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam have profoundly shaped South Asia both historically and culturally. These three traditions have influenced the socio-cultural moorings of Bhutan,
