Abstract :This study is a comprehensive examination of the effects of earthquakes and natural disasters, following the major earthquakes in southern Turkey, through a scientific, Islamic, philosophical, and Qur\\\'anic approach. Its aim is to assess the psychological states of academic staff in Turkish universities and to explore how religious, philosophical, and scientific perspectives can be integrated to mitigate the impact of such disasters on individuals and society. The study, inspired particularly by the recent earthquakes in Gaziantep and Maraş, seeks to understand the profound psychological reflections within the academic community. It offers a broad framework utilizing both scientific analysis methods and insights from Islamic and Qur\\\'anic sources. The survey examines participants\\\' perspectives on these events through religious, deterministic, philosophical, and cosmic order lenses, and further investigates Qur\\\'anic approaches to alleviating psychological distress. Findings reveal that many perceive these earthquakes as a manifestation of God’s power and divine order, as well as a test of spiritual resilience and an opportunity to strengthen faith. In this context, the study provides pathways for psychological relief and meaning-making through the teachings of the Qur\\\'an and philosophical approaches, presenting an analysis where both scientific and divine perspectives are intricately intertwined.
