As climate events intensify, understanding how spiritual capital fosters resilience in Islamic contexts is crucial for social work. This research explores the role of religion in influencing and mediating responses to natural hazards in Oman. This qualitative study examines the currents of lived Islam that take explicit stances on questions related to natural hazards. It employs interviews with 42 participants, including social workers, religious guides, employees of non-governmental organizations, and people affected by natural hazards. Drawing on extensive primary data, the findings suggest that climate events can impact communities in diverse ways, often resulting in distinct experiences for individuals within the same neighborhood. Based on spiritual capital and resilience, the impacts of climate events and individuals’ responses vary by level of capital. Spiritual capital significantly influences how individuals respond to natural hazards, underscoring the importance of integrating all aspects of human nature with a spiritual dimension in Islamic societies. It emphasizes that natural hazards convey messages that, when correctly interpreted, can enhance faith and stability. Education, practice, and policy implications have been identified, including the development of social work curricula that incorporate spiritual capital and the integration of spiritual support into disaster resilience frameworks
