You might have frequently heard the term “Psychology,” however today we will see how this scientific research, when comprehended in the light of Islam, can benefit us in a deeper way.
What is Psychology?
Psychology implies recognizing a person– their thoughts, emotions, sensations, and actions.
But below’s a concern: Does Western psychology totally discuss the person?
The response is no! Due to the fact that Western psychology mainly concentrates on the mind and the body.
The Islamic Sight of the Human Being
Islam instructs us that a human is not simply body and brain. Rather, a total human is comprised of 4 elements:
Body
Mind
Self (Nafs)
Soul (Ruh)
The Qur’an informs us that Allah created the human body from clay and afterwards breathed His spirit into it (Surah Al-Hijr).
This means that within every person there are earthly weaknesses (like cravings, rage, and desires) along with magnificent spiritual strengths (like belief, perseverance, and inner peace).
- Consequently, in Islam, psychology is not restricted to disease and therapy. Instead, its greater function is to help a human being identify their real identity.
