Notes Regarding Psychology...

Assalamwalaikum,

One other thing that I would like to add about psychology is that within the discipline, there are many different divisions and theories. As with other disciplines in science, some of these theories completely go against the Shari'eah, and therefore should be ignored and disregarded. (I.E. Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection in Biology) Some examples would be some of Sigmund Freud's theories. (By the way Freud was a cocaine addict.) Not to mention those theories are very whacked out in the first place. Anyways, when studying psychology, the theories and ideas should not shape they Muslims percieve certain things, such as life. Rather, Islamic Knowledge and ideas should be used as the basis for explaining theories. A great deal of disillusionment will occur if these theories are used as basis for understanding life, instead of using Qur'an and Sunnah for the basis of fullfilling life. The Qur'an is known as "Al-Furqaan"...which means The Criterion Between Right and Wrong. So true guidance must come directly from the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
