In a contrastive manner Islamic psychology which has been promoted by Muslim scholars alongside with the process of Islamization of knowledge and education, has its roots in the philosophical ideas of early Muslim scholars. Its resurgence, which started some two decades ago, is seen as an initiative to introduce Islamic understanding on man to the conflicting ideas prevalent in modern psychology. Its approach which is mainly philosophical in nature, goes back to the ideas on man mentioned in the two primary sources of Islam, namely the Qur’an and Hadith. Islamic psychology with its comprehensive ideas on human nature has been seen by Muslim scholars as a new perspective in psychology that can fill in the lacunae present in the modern psychological thoughts on man, and clears the mist that surrounds most Western theories on man. In this paper the researchers would like to discuss the nature, development, problems that surround Western mainstream psychology. Contrastively, the researchers will also look into the history, nature and contribution made by Islamic psychology. Lastly, the paper provides an analysis and synthesis of the two psychologies.
