Abstract

Every religion has guidelines for overcoming psychological problems, including by reaching the peak of spirituality (peak experience). Islam, Buddhism and Catholicism have different guidelines for achieving “peak experience”, Islam with the path of Sufism, Buddhism with Hasta Ariya Magha or the eight noble paths, and Catholicism with the “Ekakristi” (human union with God). Every religion is actually rich in discourse about psychological intervention which lies in the achievement of spirituality. This discourse can be explored more deeply using empirical research to prove the significance of these religious traditions. The science of psychology has now opened itself to the discourse of spirituality, this is an opportunity for scientists to develop religion-based psychology. Especially for Islam, as a universal religion, of course its knowledge covers all policies that exist in this universe. A golden opportunity for Muslim scientists to develop their knowledge while strengthening their belief in their religion.
