The Theoretical Model of Human Psychological Pyramid: A Proposal for Theorizing the Process of the Formation of Human Motivations, Tendencies and Behaviors In an Islamic Approach

In this study, the researchers have made an effort to explore, and understand the three human psychological domains i.e. the cognitive, motivational, derivative and behavioral. They have also tried to take an initial part in the line of developing a model of Islamic psychology. In their third step they have targeted to know the human soul within the boundaries of a Misbahi theoretical model. In his theoretical model of the human pyramidal soul, Allamah Misbah Yazdi observes that human soul has been assimilated to a three dimensional pyramid. The pinnacle of this pyramid displays the unity and closeness of views, tendencies, incentives, reactions and properties of the psyche. According to this model developer, different status, tendencies, abilities and inner and outer actions will appear displaying the variety and diversities of the human soul applications which are then reflected in the three stages and parts of the human pyramidal psyche.Allamah Misbah Yazdi perceives that in the human pyramidal soul, knowledge, power ad love is displayed in a vertical order. The first level encompasses the formation and display of the applications of the psyche- knowledge and perception- and in the second level, it has the display of the second aspect meaning power and abilities and finally, the third level which walk alongside the third dimension which is love and self-love which is the basis and foundation of the faculties and tendencies in human soul. Leading and managing of actins based on the indicators of the system and the functions of the leading and subordinate needs of human beings are in fact the great achievement of this psychological model. The researchers have made an effort to explain, analyze and redefine Allamah Misbah Yazdi’s human pyramidal soul based on his existing oral and written works. This had led to the analysis and interpretation of his findings in this theoretical model in some instances. Our research methodology has been descriptive and analytical which is recognized as a part of qualitative method.
