The current study aims to examine the critical role of school counselling for students as an integrated approach that builds on Islamic teachings and Seerah. The study showcases a spiritual dimension of education that can help students develop noble qualities as their character traits. For this, a comprehensive classical perspective on emotional, behavioural, and moral guidance has been explored along with contemporary Western counselling theories. The study employed a qualitative approach drawn from a psychological perspective to present a comparative analysis of Islamic counselling principles. Correspondingly, several case studies, historical examples, and modern theories have been analysed in light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah to demonstrate the traditional and contemporary educational system that lacks practical application of faith and Islamic principles in counselling. Additionally, the findings underscored a strong congruence between Islamic principles and many evidence-based counselling practices, while also highlighting key differences that co-exist in society. The study highlighted that by implementing an integrated approach based on Islamic teachings, school counselling can be regulated through common cultural relevance and student engagement that can ultimately leads to moral development for Muslim students, Thus, it encompasses that such initiatives can be helpful for educationist, policymakers, and counsellors for Islamic curriculum development and institutionalized Islamic teaching.
