Abstract

Man's mental health is an issue that is closely linked with knowledge and insight. Islamic education, depending on this knowledge, nurtures both body and soul and satisfies man's mental needs. Islamic approach is to bring happiness to man, to develop his faculties and talents and to create a balance between mans desires and needs so that there is no extremism Islam as a divine religion places so much emphasis on humanity, and not on mans class, race or family. This is a universal standard that goes beyond all places and times.
