ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE ON PSYCHOLOGICAL INSIGHTS IN HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

Abstract

This study is about the Islamic perspective on psychological insights in human relationships. The purpose of this study is to explore the rules pertaining to human relationships directly from the two main Islamic sources (Al-Qur’ān and Sunnah). It is argued that the application of these rules will result in the fulfilment of the rights and obligations, which in turn will lead to harmonious human relationships with minimal conflict. Primary data sources come from the texts of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, while secondary data sources are obtained from other relevant library sources. From this study, it can be concluded that there are several prohibitions and recommendations that can create harmonious human relations and minimal conflict, such as the prohibition of bullying, self-deprecation, prejudice, arrogance and narcissism. The recommendations include getting to know each other, upholding social justice, spreading greetings, smiling, giving gifts to each other, and practicing altruism.
