Abstract

This study examines the construction of self-concept in the Qur’an through an analytical dialogue with personality psychology, focusing on QS. al-Baqarah [2]:30, al-Isr?’ [17]:70, and at-T?n [95]:4. The research aims to identify the Qur’anic portrayal of human potential and map these conceptual elements onto established psychological theories concerning self-perception, human capability, and dispositional structure. Using a qualitative textual approach, this study conducts thematic interpretation of the selected verses and subsequently integrates the extracted meanings with humanistic and dispositional frameworks in personality psychology. The findings reveal that the Qur’an conceptualizes human beings as endowed with a balanced structure of moral responsibility, inherent dignity, and optimal potential, aligning significantly with psychological understandings of actualizing tendencies, perceived competence, and intrinsic value. The analysis indicates that these Qur’anic formulations offer a multi-dimensional foundation for understanding self-concept, combining spiritual, moral, and psychological elements in a coherent framework. The study concludes that Qur’anic anthropology possesses conceptual parallels with modern psychological formulations of selfhood while also providing distinct normative orientation that enriches contemporary discourse on human potential. This highlights the relevance of Qur’anic insights for interdisciplinary research on personality and human development.
