Introduction:

We live in a time when things are not very clear, this is what Rasulullah, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, this is a time of tribulations and trials. This is not because we believe in conspiracy theories, but because we believe that we have to be vigilant and we have to be alert and take care of our faith, and well-being of our faith. Because if it's gone, then everything in this world is worth nothing. But if we maintain and preserve our faith, our iman, and our relations with Allah subhana wa ta'ala, then everything is going to be intact, no matter what happens to us in this life.

Back in the time, when people had some psychological problems, some issues with their psychology, their nephs, this is the word that the Quran used, the nephs are the thing that is your heart, your rest, your peace of mind, your peace of heart. Wheredid  they go back then? They used to go to religion, right? This is both in Islam and in Christianity and other religions. They go to religion and seek guidance, seek healing, seek treatment from religion. Why? Because they know that this way will lead them to God, to Allah, to the Creator who is the only one who heals, treats, and gives guidance and support. But in the modern world, this is not the case.

People go to psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health providers. Highly appreciate this endeavor. We highly appreciate the people and experts in this field. They are doing such an amazing job. But the question mark here is those people, who control the mindset of the people or influence the people. If they do not have reference to divine guidance, then they are going to take the people somewhere far, far away, away from their happiness or their well-being. They will lead them to depression and destruction and maybe to suicide. Do you know why? Because they replace God with science. This is the endeavor since the French Revolution back in the 18th century to replace God, to replace the Creator with science.

Science is very essential and very important but science without Allah, science without religion will lead to what? Weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, biological experiments that will destroy the lives of millions of people, wars and fights and pollution, viruses, pandemics, diseases.

This is science but when you take the divine guidance out of the equation, then science becomes a curse, it's not going to become a blessing. And you can see how science led to massive wars in the world that killed or finished the lives of millions of people.

And if science continues in this way, in this pathway, and people continue to live in science and give up their faith, and they become just all about science, and life is just about science, and remove Allah, remove religion from the equation, they will end up in complete and total loss.

Why? Because the strategy of the psychology or the methodology or the way that the psychology or the psychologist is going to tell you is that the main thing is to feel happy, is to feel pleased, is to feel peace of mind, and to draw lines, to remove the toxic people from your life. You don't have to be in pain, you have to just look after yourself and your well-being, sleep, and beautiful charisma. But Is it the case that you call the people who caused you some trouble or issue in your life, even if they are family members, fathers, mothers, they are gas lighters, they are troublemakers, they are toxic people, I should stay away from them, I have nothing to do from them, just to drop the line, and I just walk away. What is the result of that? Millions of divorce cases across the world, people don't want to get married, because, yeah, why should I bring somebody who is going to be toxic to my life and give me trouble?

Why should I keep in touch with my dad? and mom if they are just not able to handle my feelings, my emotions it's all now about feelings and emotions how do you feel so now the people worship according to psychology, We are not putting down psychology, we are trying to link you between the psychology that the Islam provides and the psychology that the modern science side provide and your mental health providers are going to provide you because they're going to tell you everything is all about your feelings and that is why in psychology in the modern non-religious psychology they tell you if you have a feeling of inclination to the same sex, why not? what's wrong with that? if you have a feeling of a boy inside of a girl's body, why you don't go? Change your gender and become a boy and let her on you, you can come back, you just keep playing with that If you have a feeling that your mom and dad are giving you a hard time because they always question you, why do you stay up late? Why do you play too many games? Why do you do that? Why do you do that? Why should I stay with them? Why should I keep them with me? They are very harmful. They are traumatizing me, just toxic people.

what is the Islamic psychology?

What is the religious psychology? What does Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la say about death? Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, first and foremost, you have to know that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is in charge. He knows about us, what we don't know about our selves, and what science is not able at all to tell us about our selves. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, don’t you think that Allah knows what he has created, and he is all Latif.

He knows the minute, minute details of everything about you. And science proves that before, a signal moves from the brain to any of your muscles to move. A chemical reaction takes place before that, and this chemical reaction happens before the brain itself starts thinking or deciding to do that, which means that the instructions come from outside to the brain to give an order. So, your brain comes second hand, not the first hand. This is what Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says.
