Spirituality, Islam, and Psychology in Dialogue with Modern Thought”

The Premise of the BookThe Inner Journey explores how Islamic spirituality, classical Sufi psychology, and modern psychological frameworks can converge to guide the contemporary seeker. It examines the path of the nafs (soul), the emergence of khudi (selfhood), and the integration of modern insights such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology. Across the chapters, it places the Islamic intellectual tradition in dialogue with Western thought, showing how timeless wisdom can address modern anxieties-wealth, depression, meaning, and transformation.
This book is not written from theory alone. Its roots lie in my years of professional service in Makkah.
