Introduction to Psychology from the Islamic Perspective

مقدمة: علم النفس من منظور إسلامي

A foundational academic text that presents psychology as understood through the Islamic worldview. The author, a scholar in Islamic psychology, examines the nature of the human soul (nafs), the heart (qalb), the intellect (aql), and the spirit (ruh) as described in the Quran and Sunnah — contrasting the Islamic framework with Western psychological models.

The book covers human development, motivation, emotion, mental health, personality, and the psychological dimensions of Islamic worship. It demonstrates how the Quran and prophetic guidance provide a complete and coherent psychology that addresses both the spiritual and worldly aspects of human experience.

Suitable for students of Islamic studies, psychology, and medicine, this text provides the conceptual tools to understand and evaluate modern psychological theories from an Islamic perspective — preserving what is beneficial and rejecting what contradicts Islamic principles.
