Islamic Psychology

Islmic Psychology: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that explores psychology from an Islmic perspective and provides a foundation-level overview of the fundamental principles and practices of Islmic psychology. The book introduces concepts, models, approaches, themes, and theories you need to know to study the mind, soul, and behaviour based on Islmic scripture. Offering an overview of Islmic psychology and what Islmic psychologists do, chapters address key topics, including the history of the evolution of the science of the soul and the psychology of human behaviour and experiences. Rassool examines the concepts of the Fitrah, the Nafs (Self), the Aql (Intellect), the Ruh (Soul), the Qalb (Heart) as well as the concept of Islmic healing and spiritual interventions. Other themes include the Qur'an and psychology, models and approaches in Islmic psychology, interpreting Islmic psychology for modern times, and the contemporary scope of the practice of Islmic psychology. Because it outlines the challenges of and solutions for the development of Islmic psychology and potential future trends, and it includes features to aid learning, this is the ideal introductory book for students in Psychology, Islmic Psychology, and Islmic Studies as well as professionals, including counsellors, therapists, and anyone interested in psychology from an Islmic perspective.
