What truly makes “Islamic Psychology” Islamic? In this lecture, Dr. Abdallah Rothman explores the paradigm shift required to move beyond secular, materialist understandings of the mind. He discusses epistemology, worldview, soul-centered psychology, the integration of the seen and unseen, and the rich intellectual tradition of Islamic scholars who developed sophisticated models of the self long before modern psychology. The talk also reflects on clinical implications and the relevance of an Islamic paradigm to contemporary mental health discourse.
