Dr. Abdallah Rothman -Tarbiyyah and Futuwwa: The Application of Islamic Psy within Islamic Education

ISIP INAUGURAL CONFERENCE- Aug. 13, 2022, Istanbul Tarbiyyah and Futuwwa: The Application of Islamic Psychology within Islamic Education Dr. Abdallah Rothman talks about the application of Islamic Psychology in the realm of Islamic education. He emphasizes how it is crucial for us to engage in acts of service in the community, physical training, and experiential learning in order to have a holistic approach towards mental health and the journey of purifying our souls and developing our character. “The traditional approach to Tarbiyya and the idea of Futuwwa was to embody these principles of wholeness and health and character development, that you can really say is an application of Islamic Psychology.” “When we are educating about Islam, what we are trying to do is not have the "Islam" as what we are educating about, but the approach to education is Islamic. So it's not justabout ta'lim (gaining knowledge), it's about tarbiyya ; the way with which we work with students is an embodiment of being, ..there is a lot to learn, but it's also about transformation not just information.
