| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation focuses on the topic of the Islamic psyche (<i> nafs</i>) and its transcending path or <i>sabeel</i> through a process of <i>sulook</i> or control of one’s behaviors and attitudes. The entire experience is a sacred voyage from the realm of the mundane to the embodiment of the divine or from wholeness to holiness. The Muslim psyche (or <i>nafs</i>) is defined here as the intermediary between the rooh (soul), which is a world of purity, beauty, and perfection or the divine (al ‘alam ar-Rabbani), and al ‘alam al-ardi or the mundane. Here, the nafs is indeed the encapsulation of the heart (qalb), the mind (aql), and the body (jassad). The interactions between these elements take place within a psychic system. This dissertation is also an attempt to explore the psyche from an Islamic perspective. The idea, in fact, is to study the field of souls (‘alam al-arwah) in their multiple manifestations, as a new area of study in the field of East-West psychology.
