This book provides a foundation of the methodology of research scholarship in Isl?mic studies, psychology and psychotherapy, offering an understanding of the concepts and techniques of Isl?mic research methodology integrated with qualitative and quantitative research.

Integrating Isl?mic moral and epistemological values into research methodologies, the text synthesises research methodologies and approaches (empirical, rational) with Isl?mic research scholarship. Chapters include a range of topics including research ethics from an Islamic perspective, systematic methodology of research in Islamic studies and social sciences and inductive and deductive approaches. Other questions covered include how to integrate the Qur'ân and Hadith (rules, concepts and statements) with psychological phenomena and how to write a research proposal and research paper. Each chapter includes rich case examples and relevant practical examples.

This book is ideal for researchers and students in Isl?mic psychology and psychotherapy wishing to learn more about the techniques and principles of Isl?mic research scholarship in the field.
