Cultural and Islamic Adaptation of Psychology: A Book of Collected Papers

The author of this book is often referred to as the pioneer of the Islamization of psychology. His famous paper “Muslim Psychologists in the Lizard’s Hole,” read at the 1976 Annual Conference of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists in Indianapolis, USA, and his best selling book, The Dilemma of Muslim Psychologists, published in London in 1978, have inspired many to refuse to uncritically accept Western psychological theories and practices and to revise them according to the Islamic worldview. The dilemma was reprinted many times and has been translated into Arabic, Turkish, Malay and Indonesian.
