Abstract :
The idea of Interdisciplinary Studies of the Holy Quran and Psychology is thought as a favorable theoretical ground for evolution in Humanities with a Quran-centered approach in the Islamic community. Especially since Quranic teachings, according to Quran’s special anthropological approach, have a fundamental role in psychological texts. This paper, using the descriptive-analytical method, is to present the epistemological foundations and features of Interdisciplinary Studies of the Holy Quran and Psychology. The findings of the research show that Interdisciplinary Quranic Studies rely on the five senses and intellect, as well as the revelation and heart, whereas conventional psychology by using a proof-based method, relies only on senses and experiences. The results also showed that the main distinctions between Interdisciplinary Quranic Studies compared to conventional psychology are as follows: comprehensiveness, attention to the origin and resurrection, certainty and infallibility, possessing an all-inclusive structure, and proportionality between Takwīn (Creation) and Tashrī’ (Decree). The innovation of this research is investigating on Interdisciplinary Study of the Quran and Psychology based on Islamic epistemological foundations.
