| Summary: | Religion is a pervasive and influential phenomenon in the lives of m y
people. Instances of religious behavior are easily found in almost all
societies and cultures of the world. However, psychology, as a behavioral

impact on human behavior. This article attempts to explore the relationship
between psychology and religion and how these two disciplines

two disciplines, Islamization of psychology is suggested as a way out
of the current impasse between psychology and religion. |
