Abstract
Mustafa Ashwi’s article begins by highlighting the most important reasons for the lack of interest of psychologists in projecting the issue of human nature in light of, or given especially, the abundant literature on human nature from a philosophical, moral, or religious perspective. His study explains the concept of “personality” from the Western perspective, and the properties of human nature from an Islamic perspective, outlining its spiritual, behavioral, and metaphysical dimensions, and answering the following questions: Is the human being one-dimensional (physical/material) or two-dimensional (physical and spiritual)?; Is the human being of an absolute good or absolute evil nature?; What is more influential in human behavior, humans’ past or present?; What has stronger impact on behavior, learning or genetics, and nature or nurture?; Is optimism or pessimism the basis of human nature?; and, Does every person have unique characteristics or is there universality and inclusiveness in human nature?
