Are we just "Islamizing" Western psychology, or are we reclaiming something far more authentic and powerful? In this lecture, I explain the core philosophy behind our program: moving beyond simply adapting foreign concepts to rediscovering our own indigenous 'Ilm al-Nafs (The Science of the Soul).

This is the key to intellectual and spiritual liberation—a framework for healing built from our own sources, on our own terms.

This Advanced Diploma is designed for clinicians, coaches, community leaders, and intellectually serious seekers who are ready to engage in this vital work of reclamation. It is a university-level course that provides a rigorous and practical toolkit to help you understand yourself and become a source of healing for the Ummah.

Seats are strictly limited to ensure a dedicated, high-quality learning environment for every student. Classes begin 01.2026.
