The method of research is analytical-comparative and uses keywords related to emotion, it was searched and narrative sources and hadiths were categorized and analyzed based on the type of solutions available in them. The results of the research indicated that in addition to the strategies of psychological science, there are other strategies in Islamic narrations to regulate inner emotions, which include special remembrance, supplication, asking for forgiveness, nutrition, companionship, cleaning, and prayer.
