Psychological illnesses

Psychological illnesses according to Ait M'hammed Moloud:

The study of human nature, its inclinations and its interaction with others has always been the object of desire and has contributed to the development of the science of the soul, 'ilm an-nafs, or in its modern name psychology. However, the teaching of psychology ignores religion and the relationship with God.

In order to remedy this nonsense, certain Muslim thinkers have attempted to develop a psychology faithful to its primary aspiration, in which spirituality would have its place.

However, when we look at what is described as Muslim psychology or Islamic psychology, we find clear contradictions with divine legislation. We then see psychologists and “Muslim psychiatrists” conveying these ideas contrary to Islam and advocating them. However, Islam provides real, timeless and comprehensive solutions allowing the individual to find a way out of all the ills that affect them. It is therefore necessary to offer Muslims access to true psychology and psychotherapy, drawing its source from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SWS), in the light of the understanding of the pious predecessors; and this work is intended to be a first milestone on this path.

This work is divided into several themes, as follows:

■Depression and anxiety disorders

■What role does the soul play in these evils?

■Passion is the master component of the soul, an obstacle to truth and happiness. ■Psychological disorders, an occult manifestation?

■Role of the patient's environment in the constitution of these illnesses.

■Therapeutic summary – clinical cases

■What is the responsibility of the individual in these ills that affect him?

■Preventive psychotherapy.

■The causes of happiness.
