اسلامی نظریہ روحانیت کا نفسیاتی تجزیہ

A psyclogical analysis of Islamic consept of Sprirituality

Abstract

In the past century there has been a tendency to exclude spirituality and religion from psychiatry, other than as a form of pathology or pathological response. Spirituality is a common human experience. The New ways of human understanding point positively towards the new paradigm of non-material or spiritual dimension to life.   Modern science has recently taken a keen interest in the wisdoms found in the ancient eastern traditions such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Hinduism. In the relatively new field of positive psychology, many of these eastern traditions are utilized to enhance general well-being. However, the tradition of spirituality within Islām is arguably the least examined of all the world’s major spiritual philosophies in terms of its potential effects on well-being. In the modern era, the Islāmic tradition tends to be spoken of solely in terms of dogma, emphasizing its political, ritual, and legal doctrines, while neglecting its profound spiritual and moral dimensions. This article discusses the psychological anylsis of Islamic concept of spirituality.
