A New Qur'anic Psychology

In A New Quranic Psychology (Ilm Nafs Qur'ani Jadeed), Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud delivers a groundbreaking framework for understanding the human psyche using Quranic insight. Mahmoud critiques mainstream Western psychological theories—particularly Freudian psychoanalysis—for reducing human motivation to physical instincts, repressions, and material drives while ignoring the soul. By exploring core Quranic terms such as Nafs (self), Ruh (soul), Qalb (heart), and Aql (intellect), the author demonstrates that the Quran provides a comprehensive psychological diagnosis and a path toward emotional healing, spiritual resilience, and inner tranquility.

It provides a deeply satisfying spiritual and rational alternative to secular psychology, helping readers navigate inner struggles and understand human nature through the wisdom of the Quran.

Fans of Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, psychology practitioners, students of Islamic and Quranic studies, and anyone seeking spiritual self-discovery and mental clarity.
