From Bīmāristān to Clinic: Islāmic Perspectives on Sound-Based Therapy and Mental Healthcare
Sound‐based interventions have long featured in diverse healing traditions, yet their role within spirituality and mental health literature remains overlooked. This article examines the historical foundations of classical bīmāristāns, theological frameworks for permissible sound, and contemporary evidence for Islāmic-informed sound-based therapy. Drawing on classical sources, theological discourse, and emerging empirical research, it identifies p…
Positioning the self (nafs) in Islāmic psycho-spirituality
There is a significant overlap between the objectives of the Qur’ān and psychology, highlighting their interconnectedness and the importance of Islāmic psycho-spirituality. The Qur’ān provides insights into human nature, emotions, and moral frameworks which align with psychological principles. Nafs, a Qur’ānic term referring to the self, plays a vital role in Islāmic psycho-spirituality. To achieve this, Islāmic psychology emphasizes self-reflect…

Foundations of Islamic Psychology: From Classical Scholars to Contemporary Thinkers
Necrography: Death-Writing in the Colonial Museum
When it comes to the study of artworks as material culture, there are few more familiar idioms than that of the “life-history” of the object. From Arjun Appadurai’s formulation of “the social life of things” (1986) to Bruno Latour’s business-school model of “actor-networks” (1993), over the past generation a particular variety of materialist anthropology has taken root in those parts of historical studies that deal with things. “If humans have bi…
Cognitive Restructuring of Psychology: The Case for a Vertical and Horizontal, Integrated, Embedded Curriculum Model for Islamic Psychology
The article presents a vertical and horizontal integrated embedded curriculum model of Islamic psychology through a descriptive and theoretical study conceptualized by al-Faruqi’s and Berghout’s conceptual framework in the Islamization of knowledge. The article demonstrates how an amalgam of this framework offers useful resources in the development of undergraduate or post-graduate courses in Islamic psychology.

It presents an analysis of questions of knowledge and power, and the different ways that scholars working broadly as 'historians' or 'archaeologists' have viewed the relationship between expertise and 'comm…

For all approaches to the South African past the icon of Jan Van Riebeeck looms large. Perspectives supportive of the political project of white domination created and perpetuate the icon as the bearer of civilization to the sub-continent and its source of history. Opponents of racial oppression have portrayed Van Riebeeck as public (history) enemy number one of the South African national past. Van Riebeeck remains the figure around which South A…
