How does it develop? What changes it and why do people have different personalities? This talk discusses Islamic theories of personality, while considering developments in modern psychology concerning genetic, environmental, learning, and unconscious factors that shape human personality. Drawing on Islamic psychology, Sufism, philosophy, and science, it delves into the intricate and multifaceted relationship between body, soul, heart, and spirit and argues that the ideal personality depends on cultivating wisdom and spiritual intelligence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who is Muhammad U.
