Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores the historical-philosophical foundations and conceptual approaches to the development of Islamic psychology within the Russian academic tradition. Particular attention is given to the works of O.S. Pavlova, who presents Islamic psychology as an independent scientific discipline encompassing spiritual development, moral formation, self-purification, and psychological stability. The paper analyzes theoretical and practical aspects of Sufi psychology, including the concepts of the heart (qalb), soul (nafs), patience (sabr), faith (iman), and forgiveness as a therapeutic method. It is emphasized that contemporary Russian research lays a solid groundwork for the advancement of Islamic psychology in both local and global contexts
