The Nature Of Man And The Psychology Of The Human Soul by Muhammad Salih al-Jabri

A concise exploration of human nature from a traditional Islamic-psychological perspective, describing the soul’s components (ruḥ, qalb, nafs), innate disposition (fitra), and the inner dynamics that produce moral choice, conflict, and psychological disturbance. It maps stages of spiritual development and purification (tazkiyah), identifies sources of vice and virtue, and offers practical guidance—rooted in religious teaching and ethical analysis—for cultivating self-discipline, remedying inner ailments, and achieving psychological balance and closeness to the Divine.
