According to the lesson taught by Prophet Mohamed (sw), the curing of disease is also the curing of evils from mind. Especially in ordinary people the cause for disease is almost already understood. If we study a patient who is having daily headache, we may be able to find in him aberration in thought, a mind having tension, anger and so and so as the cause of disease. All these things increase his blood pressure; spoil his sleep, makes phlegmatic disorders in the head. In this way the physical disease, headache appears. When the medicine for bone disease in not effective for man who is having rheumatic pain, if mental analysis is done it can be seen that in him his sleep is deficient. This really arises due to the unnecessary thoughts if his mind. Then, if the medicine for bone should be effective in him, he must be able to put his mind in calm and quiet sleep. In this way many examples can be pointed out connecting any diseases such as cancer, diabetes etc. From this it is clear that a doctor should primarily study treatmetal psychology.

Presently, many of the psychologies which are being developed are formed in a deformed background. The preceptors like William James, the father Euro Psychology and Sigmond Freud were the persons who grew up in a troublesome socio-family background and observed the mind through extreme experiences. And for this reason, they highlighted the probabilities of deformities and bad things in their psychological studies. When a member of a family becomes pauper due to the music mania of his father and when he grows up, he views music as a whole with a protest. At the same time there are so many levels of pure music. In so many fields such as* maulid, mad’h, khawali, *another sufi songs etc...

Pure music has been connected with spiritual path. The good gifts of all these things might be lying hidden in him at the same time. But in his own experience since music has become a thing which should be protested, he will not direct his thinking in such a side. It is quite natural that he will try not to come even a humming of music from him. If it is so, it in the same thing which has happened in the above said psychologists. Therefore it is not European psychology which a physician should study for his psychology. Instead he should Qur’anic mentalogy known as *ilmunnafsiyathul Qur’an’*Together with he can also study other psychologies for comparative studies.

The first psychological Verse

When we say ‘mind’ in Arabic, the word is ‘nafs’. At the same time, the usage ‘Khalb’ can be seen widely in Islamic writings. The real meaning of this is ‘heart’. But, ‘Khalb’ is also used in the sense of mind. What is meant by it is the Khalb of which ‘nafs’ has dominance. In Qur’an and Hadhees the usage ‘nafs’ has been used in many senses such as life, ones own body etc; in addition to mind. There also life means the life which has the influence of mind, and body means the body which has conquered the passions of mind. Otherwise, if man is said separately in direct meaning . The Meanings are as follows.

Nafs = Mind, Khalb = Heart, Hayaath = life, Rouh = Soul, Jasad = Body

Mind is an organ for the communication of feelings. It is the immaterial internal level of hart. Imam Gassali explains that the creation in man takes place after man in born. Imam Razi in his ‘Kithabunnafs’ has talked about it in detail. Mind is created for the good feelings such as love, compassion, obedience, patience etc. It is called ‘nafsussubhaani’. Really, this is the nature of mind. But diabolical influence may come on the mind under many circumstances. Family and society become externally diabolic; there comes the presence of fire in the body –owing to these things mind may be diverted to ‘nafsushaithwani’. Then there comes mental feelings, mental disease and even madness. Even without any diabolic influence, mental disease can be affected.

Mind itself is situated in various levels in different stages of life. For this purpose mind works in many sections. Then instead of ‘mind’ it becomes ‘minds’. Regarding this we can study the usages* nufoos, anfus* from Qur’an. When we make this a subject of study, it becomes Islamic psychology or*Ilmunnafas.

When we make medical treatment on that basis it becomes Islamic psychotherapy.
