Suicidal tendencies continue to be a pressing public health concern worldwide, demanding a deeper understanding of the factors that may contribute to their emergence and mitigation. This research paper explores the role of religious orientation in arbitrating suicidal tendencies specifically among adult Muslims. Drawing upon existing literature, theoretical frameworks, and empirical evidence, this study aims to shed light on the potential influence of religious orientation on suicidal ideation, attempts, and related risk factors within the Muslim population. The study hypothesizes that individuals with a higher level of religious orientation will exhibit a reduced risk of suicidal tendencies due to various protective factors associated with religious involvement. These factors may include enhanced social support networks, the provision of meaning and purpose, coping mechanisms, and a sense of spiritual connectedness. Additionally, the research explores potential moderating factors, such as gender, age, and cultural context, that may influence the relationship between religious orientation and suicidal tendencies among Muslims.The findings of this research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the interplay between religious orientation and mental health, with specific implications for suicide prevention and intervention strategies within the Muslim community. The outcomes can guide mental health practitioners, policymakers, and religious leaders in developing culturally sensitive and religiously informed approaches to address suicidal tendencies among adult Muslims. By understanding the protective aspects of religious orientation, it is hoped that this research will contribute to the formulation of holistic interventions that effectively promote mental well-being and resilience within this population.
