• Due to the popularity of Maslow’s Theory (despite the criticism), we begin
our discussion on motivation using his pyramid as a base comparison.
Hoping that it being familiar to all those engaged in discourse on
motivation, it would aid easy appreciation when compared.
• This presentation, Insha'Allah, intends to present a Muslim’s response of
Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs Theory” including an explanation of what
motivates a Muslim. I have long asserted that a Muslim’s worldview
requires him to focus on different ‘drivers’ (considerations) as motivation.

*Diagram from Wikipedia
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in
psychology that Abraham Maslow (1908 –1970)
proposed in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation”

• Yet Maslow and other secular psychologists, may be partly
correct in their observation of human behaviour, perhaps
because those whom they have observed were generally the
immoral, the irreligious and selfish people of his time, even
those who claim to follow religion – because admittedly there
are such human-beings.

((Qur’an: Furqan: 25: 43-44Qur’an: Furqan: 25: 43-44))

• In applying his theory on motivation - following strictly hisIn applying his theory on motivation - following strictly his
hierarchy of needs pyramid – thus it may only be effective
regarding those who are still driven by their desires, ego, selfish
considerations.

• But, this hierarchy of needs theory is irrelevant regarding the
religiously inclined, or those who already subscribe to an altruistic
philosophy in life, the self-actualised – especially the Muslims,
because Islam’s approach to a human (Muslim) development
begins firstly with conscious affirmation or declaration towards
self-actualization (as a Witness - ).
• Islam’s teaching for human development in fact begins by “Self-
actualising” each and every Muslim. So, Maslow’s observations of
an ‘self-actualised’ person is indeed interesting for Muslims to
relate to.

‘Self-actualization’ — a concept Maslow attributed to Kurt Goldstein.

There is only one REALITY – world link to eternal Hereafter –
and danger of hastiness (digitalized age).
““Deliberateness is from Allah and hastiness is from Satan”Deliberateness is from Allah and hastiness is from Satan”
((Hadith reported by TirmidziHadith reported by Tirmidzi))

Greatest threat to ISLAMIZATION is SECULARISM
Both these occur in the person’s mind/self – worldview
Our secular training in specialization may affect us negatively
Islam teaches us to view everything holistically, avoiding partiality.
This is consistent with Qur’anic injunction to uphold the concept of
our being witnesses to Allah’s absolute oneness TAUHEED,
acknowledging with gratefulness Allah manifesting in the creation His
Almightiness with ‘QISTW and ‘ADL.

ISLAM’s aversion towards every intoxication and forgetful
heedlessness, advocating sobriety and God-consciousness.
To apply important ISLAMIC principles upon every issue or
situation faced, by deep contemplation, application, actualizing –
IIMAN, AMAL, AKHLAQ, ‘ADL, BIRR, IHSAN,
TAQWA, RAHMAH, AL-AAKHIRAH, ‘AMR-MA’RUF-
NAHYI-MUNKAR, etc.
