Discovering the Self in Islam: Self-Striving, Self-Regard, and Self-Neglect
Abstract: This study explored
some self domains and reviewed them through Islamic perspective, more
particularly self-knowledge and faith. It provided an extensive literature on
particular concepts of self-striving, self-regard, and self-neglect. To briefly
point out, the self has many origins, however deeply noted as such heart,
spirit, and psyche in Islam. From these, this study looked at the two known
self domains: self-striving, and self-regard. Apart from these concepts,
researchers differently chose self-neglect. With this, the study indicated the
self-neglect is an important concept as defensive behavior and these all self
concepts might be useful as a central of human nature for future experimental
development.
