Abstract


this study aims to analyze the management of holistic islamic education in the midst of structural poverty based on the integration of sufism, mindfulness, and self-esteem (sel) to strengthen students' mental leadership resilience. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, as well as data analysis based on the Miles and Huberman models. The findings of the study show that economic inequality has a multidimensional impact that not only hinders economic and social access, but also affects the mental health and quality of education of madrasah students. Despite living in fertile and resource-rich areas, many farmers still live in structural poverty that impacts their younger generations. Madrasah responds to this situation by developing mental resilience-based learning that integrates the values of Sufism, mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). However, these efforts are still limited by the lack of professionals, inadequate infrastructure, and negative stigma from the community towards mental health issues. The contribution of the findings of this research is as a basis for the development of more holistic and contextual education policies and psychosocial interventions, especially in disadvantaged areas. In addition, this study provides important recommendations on the need for collaboration between the government, educational institutions, and the community in building support systems that can increase the emotional and mental resilience of students, in order to break the chain of poverty and inequality in a sustainable manner
