Islamic Psychology: Expanding Beyond the Clinic
Journal of Islamic Faith and Practice, 2020
As a modern field of inquiry, Islamic psychology (IP) has been emerging since roughly the 1970s. However, it has only noticeably accelerated into a recognizable "thing" over the past six or seven years, although what we today call psychology is by no means new to the Islamic intellectual tradition. In its modern expression, IP has been defined and conceptualized in a variety of ways, but is primarily a domain that seeks to develop theoretical and applied frameworks of psychology rooted in Islam. The field is still relatively small, both in terms of individuals involved as well as foci of scholarship. Many of us are psychologists or related mental health professionals (psychiatrists, counselors etc.), and much of the work focuses on clinical and mental health aspects such as models of the self/soul and spiritually integrated psychotherapy. Given that the primary scope and readership of the Journal of Islamic Faith and Practice is not related to psychology, the purpose of this article, therefore, is to present IP to a new audience and to examine ways to grow the field, which includes expanding scholarship "beyond the clinic" as well as inviting colleagues in other domains, such as religious/Islamic studies, philosophy, history, chaplaincy, the arts, and beyond to contribute. Also, to bring the discussion within the purview of cross-cultural competency, a brief discussion of IP within an American context will be given, as well as recommendations for ways forward. This field review will be from the perspective of a Muslim psychologist actively involved in IP's development.

Western historians of psychology trace the beginning of the discipline in ancient Greece and then leaping from 3 rd century BCE to the 16 th Century BC, concentrating only on the period of renaissance and the enlightenment. Ignoring the middle ages in which the actual seeds of the enlightenment were sown. The common belief towards the Islamic scientists is negative and it is believed that the origin and the transmission of knowledge is limited to the Greeks and the West. However, it is also consensually accepted that Muslim intellectuals, scholars and scientists from the 8 th, 9 th and 13 th century made a remarkable progresses in the numerous scientific fields including psychology. More than thousand years ago Muslim thinkers and physicians made a seminal contribution to psychology psychotherapy and psychiatry. The restructuring of psychology and other sciences in the Islamic framework entails the identification of the works of Muslim scholars, thinkers and physicians of earlier times which deal with the themes of psychology and psychotherapy. The modern Muslim psychologists have reexamined the medieval Islamic thoughts and concepts with reference to psychology and highlighted the original and pioneering contribution of Muslim scholars, thinkers and physicians in the Golden Age of Islamic sciences from 8 th to the 16 th century to the advancement of psychology and psychotherapy and has shown that they were the forerunners of some of the central ideas and therapeutic techniques in psychology and psychotherapy. The paper shall focus on the major works of some of the Islamic scientist's, scholars and the modern Islamic psychologists towards the discipline of psychology. The paper shall also focus on the analysis of original Arabic texts and the resent studies of psychologists. We shall put light on the criticism of western scholars on Islam and Muslims, as the Islamic scientists and scholars made an important advancements in field long before psychology's actual birth.

Islamic Psychology (IP) is an emerging discipline evident from a consistent growth of publications worldwide in the last 40 years. While the body of knowledge and practice is not new and was known as Ilm an-Nafs or science of the self during the Islamic Golden Age, it lost its significance for many centuries primarily because of the secularization of psychology and colonization of the Muslim world. IP has now developed into a professional and academic field, as it tries to understand the human self from an Islamic worldview. This book examines IP development in 17 countries ranging from Indonesia to Bosnia to the United States. A bird's eye view of the discipline's growth, as offered across the chapters in this book, can help the reader understand the history, challenges, and prospects of this developing field and illuminate for the broader field of psychology how the Islamic tradition has been integrated into mental health practices in Muslim communities. The book broadens the reach of modern psychology by exploring spirituality and religion in the Muslim world.
Spiritual Psychology and Counseling
Due to the destructive legacy of colonialism within the Islamic world, traditional or premodern wisdom has, in large part, been brushed aside in favor of a materialistic and reductionistic outlook based on the shifting sands of modern intellectual fashions. Modern Western psychology emerged through the secularizing trajectory of the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment project; all of which contributed to the purging of metaphysics and the human soul’s intrinsic connection to the spiritual dimension within the discipline. Due to the growing interest in restoring this vital dimension, Islamic psychology—akin to other traditional understandings of the mind known as perennial psychology—addresses this need to understand human behavior in light of the sacred.
