Islamic Healing – Level 1
About The Course
Different theories in social sciences, psychology and humanities generally are grounded on a certain concept of self. The concept of self determines our behaviour and how it should be understood, regulated on the basis of body, mind and soul. In other words our spiritual state relates to our mind and body and regulates our physical state.
Islam has a centuries old tradition which has a lot to offer on this relationship between soul, mind and body. This unique course will provide an in-depth conceptual understanding of the definition, theory and practice of “Islamic Healing”. It will challenge the way modern or conventional approaches are practiced today which can be materialistic, reductionist, contrary to Islamic theological principles and devoid of an Islamic model of spirituality. The Islamic tradition has a lot to offer Muslim health care professionals in the west and those who practice modern medicine or complementary healing approaches, as it provides an approach to treatment and care which not only reforms the practitioner but also the patient using different modalities of prevention and treatment.
The course is holistic and extends from the theory down to principles and implementation. These three strands will be taught separately together as a unique and unified course where students will be empowered with abilities and knowledge, which are quite different from customary practices. The course will focus on issues that are affecting every person today, by maximising the potential and making optimum use of the mind, soul and maintaining a healthy body to increase productivity.
The course will be delivered by experts in theory and practice from a number of related sciences of Islamic psychology, prophetic medicine, spiritual healing and conventional and complementary psychological and clinical practices.
