An Islamic Overview

JOHN LEO HERLIHY (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia)

Abstract


For Jungiian psychology, "the object of psychology is the psyhic." For the Muslim living within the context of a religious and traditional culture, the object of psychology is to penetrate beyond the psychic into the realm of the spiritual, which is both the center and source of all that is vital to the understanding of man. This article shifts the concept of a human psychology away from the purely secular attitude that has evolved over the last hundred years in order to approach the study ofman through a sacred psychology that takes root once again in the Quranic revelation anddraws its understanding of man from the sacred knowledge of God.
