Quranic Concepts in Islamic Psychology and Spirituality : Application in the Modern World

Omtale

This book explores how the Qur’ân’s timeless teachings enrich contemporary psychological theories, bridging the gap between Islamic wisdom and psychological well-being. It offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying Qur’ânic concepts in the realm of mental health. Grounded in Islamic scholarship, it references both classical and modern Islamic sources to explain fundamental Qur’ânic concepts in Islamic psychology. The book is structured around three key areas: first, an Islamic perspective on human faculties, essential for self-knowledge and self-awareness; second, the five pillars of Islam, which play a central role in psychological resilience; and third, various Qur’ânic spiritual concepts linked to mental well-being, such as ?abr (patience), shukr (gratitude), ri?a (contentment) and i?mi’nan (peacefulness). By integrating Islamic principles with contemporary psychological insights and promoting a holistic approach to well-being, this book serves as a vital resource for personal development, academic study, and professional practice, particularly for mental health professionals working with Muslim clients.
