Abstract
In the 1970s due to the dissatisfaction of Muslim psychologists with Western psychological theories and practices, which, in their opinion, did not take into account the influence of religion on human behavior, such a field of knowledge as Islamic Psychology began to develop. This line is quite new and is at the stage of active development, so there is still uncertainty about its disciplinary status. The purpose of this article is to clarify the current state and content of the scientific and intra-Muslim discussion regarding the disciplinary status of Islamic Psychology abroad. The works of Arab psychologists ‘Uthman Najati, who first used the term “Islamic Psychology” in 1948, and Malik Badri, who is considered the “father of modern Islamic Psychology”, are studied. Based on the work with English and Arabic sources, the various opinions of scientists on the definition of the disciplinary status of Islamic Psychology at the present time are also considered. As a result of the study, two main periods of the modern development of Islamic Psychology are identified, trends among scientists in determining its disciplinary status are identified, and features of intra-Muslim discussion are considered.
