In an age of rising anxiety and disconnection, do you feel that mainstream psychology misses a vital piece of the human puzzle—the soul? Are you seeking a deeper, more spiritually-grounded understanding of the mind, emotions, and healing?
Welcome to Foundations of Islamic Psychology.
This is not just another psychology course. This is a journey back to a timeless wisdom, where the profound insights of the Quran and Sunnah meet the human heart. We bridge the critical gap between spiritual faith and clinical well-being, offering a healing paradigm that speaks directly to the Muslim soul.
This course is your first step into a field that is both ancient and urgently new. It’s for anyone who believes that true healing must nurture both the psyche and the spirit.
Many Muslims struggle in silence, caught between their faith and a mental health system that often overlooks their spiritual reality. This course is your answer. It equips you with a framework that sees no contradiction between divine wisdom and therapeutic healing, empowering you to offer support that is both psychologically sound and spiritually enriching.
By the end of this transformative course, you will:
Grasp a Sacred Framework: Understand the Islamic model of the self the Nafs (Ego), Qalb (Heart), Ruh (Spirit), and Aql (Intellect) and how it revolutionizes personal development.
Decode Mental Health Through Faith: Learn to interpret common mental health challenges through an Islamic worldview, moving beyond stigma to understanding.
Master Core Counseling Principles: Acquire essential, faith-based communication skills like empathetic listening and ethical guidance to become a source of comfort and clarity.
Integrate Faith and Practice: Begin thinking like an Islamic therapist, learning how to weave spiritual values like patience, gratitude, and trust in Allah into practical care.
Serve Your Community: Discover how to create and offer mental health services that truly resonate with and uplift Muslim communities.

This course is for you if you are:
An aspiring counselor, psychologist, or coach who wants to integrate faith into your practice.

A student of psychology, social work, or Islamic studies looking for a meaningful specialization.
A parent or individual on a path of self-discovery, wanting to understand your own soul and struggles through the light of Islam.
