AN EVALUATION OF THE VIEWS OF ISLAMIC THINKER AL-BALKHI (849-934) WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

Studies have been done in both traditional and modern sources regarding physical and mental health of human beings because it has long been a field of interest of humanity. Especially in today's rapid life cycle because of modern life, an increase in psychological problems, anomie, the quest for meaning have highlighted the importance of physical and mental health. Today at the point we have reached, we can easily say that there is significant knowledge about physical and mental health in both theoretical and practical areas. The topic is also an important element in the area of Islamic culture of research. However, it is difficult to say that there is enough information on this issue because Islamic traditional sources are not being focused on enough and what Islamic tradition says about the topic is mostly overlooked. However, throughout centuries, Islamic scholars have contributed significantly to human physical and mental health with the inspirations drived from the Holy Qur’an. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to see that recently, there is a growing interest and research in this field. In this paper, Ahmed Abu Zayd al-Balkhi's (849-934) ideas about mental health in his work “Sustenance for Body and Soul” are examined and evaluated in accordance with the findings of modern psychology.
