Abstract

Short, evidence-linked micro-practices that protect attention and steadiness in contested cultures. These spiritual resilience practices pair neuroscience with prophetic-inspired analogues, clear steps, a one-line invitation, and CSV-ready metrics for daily tracking. # Spiritual Resilience Practices: AIM Pilot Protocols This project hosts the preregistered pilot protocols associated with the primary research article: πŸ‘‰ **[Spiritual Resilience Practices β€” An Applied Islamic Methodology (AIM) Framework](https://ahmedalshamsy.com/en/spiritual-resilience-practices/)** ### 🧠 Purpose This repository documents **N=1 behavioral micro-experiments** translating Islamic ethical guidance into structured, testable personal practices. By utilizing the **Applied Islamic Methodology (AIM)**, we bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern behavioral science through a disciplined, reproducible framework. The AIM framework integrates four distinct methodological layers: * **IMTF** β€” Islamic Methodological Translation Framework * **IMVF** β€” Islamic Meaning & Values Framework * **IMPF** β€” Islamic Moral-Psychological Framework * **AIBF** β€” Applied Islamic Behavioral Framework --- ### πŸ“Š Project Structure (The 8 Protocols) Each registration defines the hypothesis, behavioral mechanism, and machine-readable measurement format for: 1. **AIM-SR-01:** Sakinah Breathing Micro-Ritual (Centered Breath Pause) 2. **AIM-SR-02:** Dhikr Reset Loop 3. **AIM-SR-03:** Intention Reset Protocol (Niyyah) 4. **AIM-SR-04:** Gratitude Attention Training (Shukr) 5. **AIM-SR-05:** Moral Pause Ritual (Muhasabah) 6. **AIM-SR-06:** Cognitive Tawakkul Drill 7. **AIM-SR-07:** Compassion Activation Protocol (Rahmah) 8. **AIM-SR-08:** Post-Stress Reflection Ritual --- ### βš–οΈ Ethical Scope & Licensing **Note:** These pilots are intended for personal behavioral reflection and ethical self-regulation.
