The Personality of the Prophet Muhammad from a Psychological Perspective
The Quran was sent by the Almighty Creator, Who knows humanity best, to provide a remedy—a cure—for the troubles of humanity. So why shouldn't there be brand-new and original psychological perspectives, independent of other schools of psychology and inspired by the Quran and hadith?
God Almighty has revealed many verses in the Quran that define humanity. Is it possible to better understand these verses using the data from the relatively new branch of science, psychology?
To what extent can the data of a Western branch of science be compatible with our understanding of Islam? Why do people have such difficulty accepting a person from among their own ranks and their human qualities? Why do they desire someone who performs miracles at every turn? Why do they seek someone who is literally "superhuman," as described in the hadiths of the Shamail? What are the psychological foundations of this, the subconscious roots of their refusal to accept the Prophet as a normal human being? Beyond all this, in the Islamic sense, who is a healthy person and who is a sick person?
