Abstract

Impulsivity is a recognised risk factor for suicidal behaviour, yet most research is grounded in Western contexts, limiting its cultural applicability in Muslim populations. This review examines the link between impulsivity and suicidal behaviour and explores its implications for Islamic-informed mental health care. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of Scopus, ProQuest, and EBSCO databases was conducted for studies from 2014 to 2024. Thirty peer-reviewed articles were selected and assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Impulsivity consistently predicted suicidal ideation and attempts. Comorbidities such as depression and substance use increased risk. Religious commitment emerged as a protective factor, yet Islamic-based interventions rarely address impulsivity through structured clinical approaches. There is a need for culturally adapted care models integrating Islamic principles with psychological frameworks. Future research should develop validated tools and interventions tailored to Muslim contexts
