Traditionally, mainstream psychology viewed religion negatively, but there is now a growing recognition of the significant role religion plays in improving physical and mental health. Islamic psychology, which recognizes the spiritual nature of human beings and their connection to God, has attracted attention from Western psychologists. However, despite over 40 years of research, progress in the development of this paradigm has been slow, and there are challenges that need to be addressed using research paradigms from Western social and behavioral sciences.
Traditionally, mainstream psychology mostly presented religion in a negative light. However, recent years have witnessed a growing realization that religion has a substantial role to play in improving physical and mental health. Given the importance of religion, the American Psychological Association (APA) has division 36 Psychology of religion. But the perspective of mainstream psychology does not acknowledge the spiritual nature of human beings and their connection to God. Islamic psychology is one of the religion-based perspectives which acknowledges it. This perspective has also attracted the attention of Western psychologists. Three different trends have been identified in this area: the Islamic filter approach, the comparison approach, and the Islamic psychology approach. However, despite more than 40 years of work, there is a considerable lack of progress in the development of this paradigm. The present article discussed the emergence and challenges in the development of this new perspective. Moreover, we suggest that the research paradigms of Western social and behavioral sciences are useful for developing Islamic psychology.
