			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
00:00:05 --> 00:00:13 
			I would like to introduce you to our course, in Islamic psychology.
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18 
			Islamic psychology is a new field.
00:00:20 --> 00:00:27 
			It is something which is lacking in most Muslim countries.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:34 
			We have psychology, yes, Western psychology, which has its own
00:00:35 --> 00:00:44 
			basis and approach to understanding human beings. How they think, how they
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49 
			react, how they interact.
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			Islamic psychology
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59 
			is based on the fact that human beings have a soul.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 
			Western psychology don't believe in the soul.
00:01:04 --> 00:01:20 
			They observe animals and the way that animals operate, they've drawn certain conclusions. And
they've applied that to human beings. But we are more than just animals. So
00:01:21 --> 00:01:34 
			Islamic psychology seeks to bring human beings into the holistic picture of life on earth.
00:01:35 --> 00:01:43 
			And this area of study is vital for the development of our institutions.
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 
			Even in businesses,
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48 
			even in
00:01:49 --> 00:01:55 
			the military, or in whatever field, psychology has to roll.
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57 
			So
00:01:58 --> 00:02:16 
			we invite you to join the international Open University, and to enter into this new field of Islamic
psychology to make a difference in the future, for human beings in the world, in general.
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 
			It is a new and challenging field,
00:02:22 --> 00:02:30 
			which I'm sure those of you who have this inclination would greatly enjoy. So
00:02:33 --> 00:02:39 
			commit yourselves to study from this Islamic perspective.
00:02:40 --> 00:02:59 
			Psychology needs this guidance, be the leaders in this field to create a new world vision for
understanding human beings and how they interact.
00:03:00 --> 00:03:16
