Abstract

Elderly people are vulnerable because they are susceptible to various health problems due to the aging process. Therefore, the elderly’s well-being needs close attention to ensure they live in serenity and happily in their old age. Islam encourages Muslims to be kind towards the elderly, especially their own parents. This study aims to discuss the well-being of the elderly in Malaysia and Indonesia. The review aims to obtain the trends of studies in elderly’s well-being in Malaysia and Indonesia, between the year 2015 to 2020. This study used a qualitative method that examined scholarly works by local researchers within the five-year period (2015 – 2020). The study found three aspects of similarities in the trend of these studies from both countries, namely the factors that influenced the well-being of the elderly, the role of the authorities, and the role of the elderly care and activity centres. Spiritual practices and social interaction were identified as crucial elements which influenced the well-being of the elderly. These findings hold great significance in enhancing and empowering the quality of life and well-being of the elderly within both countries.
