description 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 science has largely ignored the study of religion and its profound impact on human behavior. This article attempts to explore the relationship between psychology and religion and how these two disciplines interact. After a general overview of the relationship between the two disciplines, Islamization of psychology is suggested as a way out of the current impasse between psychology and religion.
