Quranic Concepts in Islamic Psychology and Spirituality

This book explores how the Qur'ân's timeless teachings enrich contemporary psychological theories, bridging the gap between Isl?mic 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 Isl?mic scholarship, it references both classical and modern Isl?mic sources to explain fundamental Qur'ânic concepts in Isl?mic psychology. The book is structured around three key areas: first, an Isl?mic 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?? (contentment) and i?mi'n?n (peacefulness). By integrating Isl?mic 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.
