Honoring the vision, courage, and scholarship that shaped the foundations of Islamic Psychology.

Rooted in the Work of Dr. Malik Badri

IAIP stands on the legacy of the late Professor Malik Badri, whose pioneering scholarship revived Islamic Psychology in the modern era.

His work brought clarity to the role of the soul, ethics, and spiritual insight in understanding human behavior.

He challenged the field to return to its authentic roots while engaging scientific knowledge with courage and humility. His vision guides our mission to this day.

How the Legacy Shapes Our Work

Professor Malik’s work continues through scholars and practitioners who uphold the same spirit of ihsan, sincerity, and rigorous scholarship.

Among them is Dr. Abdallah Rothman, a leading figure in Islamic Psychology whose work reflects and advances this tradition.

His contributions help ensure that the principles Dr. Malik revived remain alive, relevant, and woven into IAIP’s standards, ethics, and growth.

A Growing Global Community

Over more than a decade, the platform has become a gathering point for scholars, practitioners, students, and educators seeking a space rooted in Islamic tradition, ethical clarity, and intellectual humility. This commitment has also been reflected through convenings such as the IAIP conference held in Istanbul, where members of the global community came together to engage in shared learning, dialogue, and reflection.
