This study proposed new constructs to the field of Islamic psychology. It is particularly noteworthy to articulate the views of Said Nursi in the context of Islamic psychology. Based on fundamental aims of Qur'an, it clearly shows that Tawhid (Belief in God), Nubuwwa (Awareness of Prophetic Teaching), Hashr (Belief in Resurrection), and Ibadah (Worship) as for main constructs of Qur'an greatly influential on a person's belief and thought.The proposed four constructs were thoroughly scrutinized to determine the possible meanings with human belief and thought. In line with chosen method, this paper applies the views of Nursi as a device for synthesizing arguments. Islamic psychology clearly indicates the Tawhid and Nubuwwa, called shahadah, are fundamental of Islamic belief and thought and included with awareness of hereafter and doing worship. The other constructs of Hashr and Ibadah are also essential for an Islamic psychology model for understanding human personality. They were conceptually evaluated within the context of psychology, as indicatives of the concept of Islamic personality. These four constructs can be interpreted as inner experience depicting human's emotions, desires, wishes, and intentions. Thus, they are strongly suggested to employ in newly developing Islamic personality scales.

With the growing awareness of the need to integrate modern psychological approaches with Islamic values and practices, there is a need among Muslim psychologists and other behavioral scientists for an instrument capable of capturing the major elements of the Islamic personality. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop and take the first steps in the validation of the Integrative Islamic Personality Inventory (IIPI), which is a newly developed measurement. With regard to content validity, 64 items were generated based on the judgments of
a panel of experts. Fifty-seven respondents completed
the preliminary instrument. The inventory demonstrated excellent reliability and strong internal validity. In the next phases, the inventory will be further validated and calibrated based on different psychometric standards and models.

This study examined the self theory of Carl Rogers in depth. There are some important
concepts illuminated well, considering one's personality development. Its main focus was
positive regard, self-worth and actualizing tendency, proposed by Rogers. To explain them in
brief, positive regard was studied through self-image, ideal self and congruence. Self-worth is
described as conditional and unconditional to cope with challenges in life, tolerate failures
and sadness at times. Actualizing tendency was expounded into fully functioning or selfactualizing.
These all concepts indicated that having a tendency on human behavior and
concentrating on the capacity of individuals to think intentionally and soundly, to control their
biological urges, are significantly main elements to evaluate one’s self. Therefore, in the
humanistic perspective, individuals have the opportunity and will to change their states of
mind and behavior. This study might be a guide to some certain aspect of self related studies
for other researchers to benefit accordingly and also to develop a new scale related to self
using Rogers’s theory.

Background: The measures related to personality in Islam have yet extended their domains to Nubuwwa (prophethood) and self component. In addition, these measures are solely Islamic sources, not studied the integration with Western perspective. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the major domains of Islamic personality using the Western and Islamic sources. Results: it is to describe the development and factor structure of a measure used to assess them, and to test the internal consistency (Study 1), the retest reliability (Study 2), and convergent and discriminant validity of this research (Study 3) in three samples of university students from ten Turkish universities. Conclusion: The combined findings from three studies reported here provide initial evidence that Integrative Islamic Personality Inventory (IIPI) is reliable, valid, and can be used in further studies.
