Exploring Research Methodologies: Integrating Islamic Principles and Contemporary Scholarship

Today's topic discusses research methodology from efforts to integrate Islamic principles with contemporary scientific scholarship. In this regard, Dr. G. Hussein Rassool has featured his fascinating Islamic psychological research methodology in one of his recent books entitled Integrated Research Methodologies in Islāmic Psychology. Simply put, the initial foundation of scientific research methodology in Islamic studies, psychology, and psychotherapy must begin with how knowledge about humans is obtained philosophically. Throughout the historical record, the foundation in the study of psychology boils down to philosophical and empirical approaches. This has been the case since various branches of knowledge were developed within the Islamic tradition. Integrating philosophical and empirical expertise has led to a new understanding of the scientific approach in Islam. Although there are already many methodologies within the Islamic tradition of knowledge cognition, this integration at least enriches the treasures of classical knowledge that are preserved by bringing about dynamic renewal.  It begins with the Muslim awareness that philosophical principles as a researcher are inseparable from how their framework sees the world (tasawur or ru'yah al-Islam li al-wujud). This philosophical principle is contained in the worldview, epistemology, and ontology of Islam. Abdurrahman Abu Sulayman gave characteristics related to the Islamic worldview as a perspective sourced from the point of view of the Muslim community which originates from the Qur'an (Qur'anic worldview). This worldview represents the motive forces that define the nature of the emotional and psychological energy that drives society and individual members – determining their attitudes, actions, life trajectories, and the extent of their life contribution towards the advancement of culture and its role in history. Therefore, the Islamic worldview is clear, consistent, positive, easy to understand, realistic, and grounded. With such a view, it will succeed in becoming a doctrinal force that shapes society's psychological, spiritual, and intellectual life in such a way. We must also consider integrating the material and metaphysical dimensions into a coherent scientific approach. It should be realized that the Islamic worldview has a tawhid-ic paradigm in which ethics and morality must be followed. Thus, the pursuit of scientific excellence is fuelled by the belief in the blessing of Allah (Mardhatillah). For example, to form Islamic psychology, which has tended to be oriented towards Western psychological theories such as Freudian theory, it is important for Muslim researchers to return to authentic sources of knowledge of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (Islamic worldview). For example, knowledge of Islamic psychology provides a holistic understanding that integrates mental health issues linked to spirituality. This can be traced in the Qur'an, which says: "Those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort." We can also trace it from how sufi practiced. Of course, referring to these authentic sources requires some help, which may come from other disciplines of knowledge, b. But it can be done slowly. It aims to discover the authenticity of psychological theory from within the body of Islamic knowledge itself, given the heterogeneity of cultures, contexts, tribes, and nations of Muslims today. Q and A – time frame list 1:16:42 Question 1:  What fields of Islamic psychology can we focus on for research?  1.21.05  Question 2:  When we discuss the creation or formation of an Islamic methodology, we must deal with the -foundations of the western tradition it has originated from. When we talk about psychology, political science, or the natural sciences, we have to deal with  concepts which were produced by non-muslims and a non-Islamic culture as a scientific methodologies out of Islam.The problem is that whether we create our approach from an Islamic basis or not, we will have to deal with these concepts These disciplines, at their core, are  not Islamic. How should we approach these disciplines as we endeavor to create an “Islamic” foundation for psychology and other fields 1:28:08 Question 3:  If we were to come up with a module by using this Islamic psychology or Islamic value, but we also want to address ] the non-muslim populationso, would that be an ethical and more practice? What would you say if we do not name it as “Islamic” but we inculcate the principle within the module or the framework? 1:34:40 Question 4:  I would just like to ask about the concept of islamization of psychology. If we reference Dr. Badry’s book on this idea, do you have any sort of additional ideas about his paper that may tie back into the overall concept? 1:47:53 End of discussion
