The Meaning of Life for People with Physical Disabilities: The Perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith

Dela Zulfa, Nurjannah Nurjannah

Abstract

Humans are the most perfect creatures of Allah SWT because they are gifted with reason, heart, and desire to recognize the signs of His greatness. However, humans are also weak and limited creatures of Allah, including in terms of physical conditions such as disabilities. People with physical disabilities often face psychological and social challenges that can interfere with the meaning of their lives. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine and explore the dynamics of the search for the meaning of life of people with physical disabilities with the perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith. This study uses a qualitative approach, the method used in this study is a phenomenological study. The data sources in this study were collected through interviews and observations, then analyzed through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the meaning of life is formed through four stages, namely: the stage of initial suffering, self-acceptance, realization of meaning, and the stage of meaningful life. Then based on the analysis with an Islamic perspective, the meaning of life is belief in Allah's qada' and qadar, not just surviving but having a close relationship with Allah SWT and carrying out duties as servants of Allah and caliphs on earth. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the importance of internalizing Islamic spiritual values from the Quran and Hadith can help people with disabilities to be able to interpret life positively and completely.
