Human Nature in Islam

Human Nature in Islam explores what such luminaries as Ibn-Abd-al-Barr, the greatest scholar of Spain ar-Raghib al-Isfahani and ibn Taymiyyah have said about this pivotal term from the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Yasien Mohamed tackles the work of writers closer to our own day. Ali Shariati and Sayyid Qutb, the dualism of whose views the author exposes with great courtesy and honesty. He contrasts Fitrah with other views of human nature such as those of Freud, and B.F. Skinner and opens up the exciting possibility of Muslims thinkers throwing an entirely new light on the working of the Human soul.
