“…The project of interdisciplinary construction can unwittingly bring in paradigmatic assumptions of human nature that are implicit in contemporary psychology. One alternative may be to construct a uniquely Islamically grounded theory based on branches of knowledge that already operate within the Islamic paradigm (Rothman and Coyle ). However, the criticism that interdisciplinary models are not entertaining a holistic approach has to be forestalled: their very value lies in the consideration and—if justified—harmonization of disparate perspectives across disciplines.…”

“…While the individual work of Muslim psychologists has guided most activities during the last forty years or so in the English IP literature (Rothman and Coyle , 2) and Muslim psychologists can, at best, achieve a tentative Islamic evaluation of psychological theories, it would be preferable for Islamic scholars to provide and develop Islamic content. A basic familiarity with the ideas of psychology and the process of counseling and psychotherapy, ideally at a postgraduate level, is similarly critical for promoting adequacy in psychology among Islamic scholars.…”

The Islamic psychology (IP) community in Europe has recently witnessed a heated debate about the credentials required to participate in the theoretical substantiation of IP and Islamically integrated psychotherapy and counseling. This debate has provided convenient circumstances for Muslim psychologists and Islamic scholars alike to rethink their roles within the flourishing movement. Specifically, the discussions hint toward the importance of adopting a collaborative research methodology for IP, in particular for basic research. The methodology of choice will need to define the necessary qualifications and responsibilities of scholars and psychologists in a collaborative research process (personal collaboration) and evince its capability to appropriately marry knowledge and data, diverging research methods, and perspectives, concepts, and theories from Islamic studies and contemporary psychology (content-related collaboration). Here, we devise and offer a case illustration of an Islamic Psychology Basic Research Framework (coined the SALAAM Framework). This framework uses the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (IIS) Model of Interdisciplinary Research, developed by the IIS at the University of Amsterdam. Our first aim is to appropriate the IIS model for the IP literature by applying the model's research process phases and technique for the integration of disparate bodies of knowledge-that is, the identification of common ground-to methodological approaches in the contemporary IP literature. Our second aim is to exemplify the devised SALAAM Framework using the relatively unexplored area of Islamic cognitive theories (ICTs), which remain underdeveloped in contemporary psychological literature, primarily because of a lack of commensurability with the nomenclature of contemporary psychology. We thus provide a primer on the potential scope of ICTs. Toward Paul Kaplick is a graduate student, Brain and Cognitive Sciences,

The expansion of e-commerce dramatically changes the spending patterns which are found a significant number of impulse buying. Practical method and easy way to buy specific goods from e-commerce might be an important factor why customers spent their money more impulsively. Researches on this phenomenon showed that psychological values emerged from religiusity condition and self-interest encouragement play as self-regulation for controlling impulsive buying behavior. Viewed from Islamic economic perspective, this study seeks to configurate self-interest (al-nafs) into three levels namely al-nafs al-ammarah, al-nafs al-lawwamah, and al-nafs al-muthmainnah when al-nafs involved in online impulse buying. The first two layers of al-nafs refer to the level of self-interest which are material oriented, whereas the last one represents the highest level of self-interest which is spiritual oriented. By employing 134 repondents from e-commerce customers in Jakarta, the research findings revealed that there was no relationship between religiusity and alnafs al-ammarah and al-nafs al-lawwamah. However, al-nafs al-ammarah and al-nafs al-lawwamah positively influenced impulse buying. Meanwhile, there was strong relationship between religiusity and al-nafs al-muthmainnah in which this highest level of self-interest did not have relationship with impulse buying. These research findings have important implications that in order to regulate impulsive buying behavior, customers should control their self-interest and make it to be alnafs al-muthmainnah.

“…Many publications have also examined Islamic conceptualizations of the self such as ruh, qalb, aql, nafs, ihsas, irada etc. (Abu Raiya, 2012, 2014Keshavarzi and Haque, 2013;Haque and Keshavarzi, 2014;Keshavarzi and Khan, 2018;Rothman & Coyle, 2018) sometimes discussing how these ideas equate to western conceptions (such as Freud's) or labeling them as some sort of Islamic personality theory. Other publications discuss incorporating Islamic concepts or spiritual therapies such as dhikr, ruqya etc.…”

In this article the author attempts to give a brief summary and critique of the various ways Islamic Psychology is conceptualized and defined. She then proposes and discusses a conceptual model, the Multilevel Interdisciplinary Paradigm (MIP), as a potential theoretical unifier for the emerging field, which also serves as a methodology for defining it. Recommendations for ways forward in the domain of Islamic Psychology are also provided.
