Human Needs from a Psychological and Islamic Perspective

Abstract

This research aims to study human needs from a psychological and Islamic perspective by using a number of important theories such as William James' theory, Thorndike's theory, Kerbatrick theory ... etc. Then he dealt with social needs, love and belonging, the needs for self-respect, confidence, and self-realization. The research has proven that Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet had preceded Maslow in mentioning what is known as Maslow’s pyramid, and that the Noble Qur’an has detailed an orderly and clear detail of every human need and paid great attention to all the needs that distinguish man from animals, nominally the higher needs.
