The method of this research is descriptive-analytic by referring to the Holy Quran and the narrations, and the method of collecting information is library research. Islam treats the four kinds of feeling lonely and melancholia by changing human’s look to the world and strengthening his belief of the God’s presence. Reinforcing theism and practicing the social teachings of Islam helps to improve this problem.
