Towards Qur'anic Psychology Foundations, Concepts, Psychological Functions

Share this post :

In this introduction to the construction of a Qur'anic psychology, we have worked to overcome some of the epistemological difficulties in achieving this purpose. For instance, the verses of the Holy Qur'an cannot be subjected to systematic doubt due to their definitive divine origin. The purpose is to bring scientific research closer to the divine laws mentioned therein, and to introduce a sense of relativity into their understanding.

We then highlighted the need to establish this science and endeavored to lay down the most important foundations and principles of Qur'anic psychology, such as monotheism, the inherent dignity of humankind, humanity's role as caliphate on Earth, and his capacity to choose freely between misguidance and guidance. Due to the limited scope of this study, we have focused on analyzing a single concept from the various concepts of this science, the psyche, in its different types, states, levels, and appellations as mentioned in the Qur'an.

We have also presented some examples of psychological functions that are specifically referenced in the Qur'an, without the influence of modern psychology, such as visions, divine inspiration, contemplation, and reflection.
