Assalamualaikum!
Dear Dr Zuhoori,
Your write-up looks quite good, mashallah! May I suggest that you get my newly edited book (2009) "Psychology of Personality: Islamic Perspectives" from Cengage Learning. They used to be called "Thomson Publishers." There are many interesting papers in my book written by renowned scholars on the nature of human psychology from Islamic perspective. This will add more materials to your write-up and make your website much stronger. Please remember me and my family in your special Dua's. I will do the same.
Wassalam!

Psychology of Personality, Islamic Perspectives
Psychology of Personality: Islamic Perspectives is the first edited volume of selected papers on human nature and personality from an Islamic perspective. It is a modest attempt at clarifying the conceptual confusion that resulted in keeping psychology separate from religion, separate from a soul. The authors have incorporated religious and transcendental concepts that shape human personality, which are based on the Qur'a n and the works of early Muslim scholars. It is not a book on psychotherapy; however, the views on human nature are important for the development of an Islamic approach to therapy.
The text is timely due to the increased attention to Islam and its significance in the lives of more than one billion adherents, and also because modern psychology is demonstrating a new interest in indigenous and alternative perspectives of psychology. It is hoped that this work will stimulate further research on the psychology of personality based on the Islamic assumptions of human nature.
KEY FEATURES
(1) The first edited collection to address perspectives on the Islamic theory of personality and encourages recalling man s nature from the Islamic paradigm.
(2) The articles are written by Muslim scholars from around the world who have derived their ideas primarily from the Qur n, hadith and the works of early Muslim scholars.
(3) The book is divided into three parts, moving from a discussion of cosmic anthropology and the innate disposition of humans in Part I, to an examination of key concepts of the soul, spirit, heart and aql in Part II. Part III is concerned with motivation and personality types.
BUT, THERE IS SOME PROBLOM IN PERSONALITY TERM

va alaikum assalam varahmathullah
I am very glad to your mail, thanking you
I have reoffered your valuable book on personality with the Islamic view of human nature may Allah rewards u and your partner Dr Yaseen Muhammad work aameen
but there is no importance to externalist personality in Islamic life and it is considering inner/ purified individuality ie nafsussub hani
so v should attempt to a wide discourse about Individuality like terms and practicals with the supportings of early pasycho/spiritual documents
Individuality is the state or quality of being an individual; a person separate from other persons and possessing his or her own divineneeds, goals, and desires.how can describe this human phenominas?....this type of investigation is need of time and human renissance
So u can attempt to this type of mission
May Allah help u and your family..Aameen
