520 |a This work explores and outlines a possible needs theory that is compatible with the Islamic world view. The need for such a theory arises from the fact that needs theories which are in existence originate in secular Western ideologies, especially in the realm of psychology. Western psychological theories omit the existence of God and the soul from their conceptualisations and thus formulate incomplete views of human nature. This has led to inadequate needs theories. The present work is a qualitative, textual, theoretical and analytical study. In terms of human nature, the schools of Evolution, Psychodynamics, Behaviourism, Social and Humanistic Psychology are explored. This is contrasted with the concept of fitrah and consequently, the soul is introduced as a necessary variable in needs theory. Core Social Motives Theory, Terror Management Theory, Attachment Theory, Self-Determination Theory, Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory (CEST) and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs are the Western needs theories which are analysed and discussed in this study. Maqasid al-Shariah is introduced as a framework for a universal needs theory reflecting the holistic view of human existence in Islam. A universal psychological needs theory is thus proposed based on a maqasid framework with the hopes of it spurring application to various dimensions of human existence, Muslim and non-Muslim alike in Psychology and applicatory ijtihad.
