Abstract

This study aims to determine whether or not there is a connection between the Hawthorne effect, which describes the tendency of individuals to change their behavior when they feel that they are being monitored, and the Sufi concept of muraqabah, which describes the spiritual comprehension of being viewed by Allah. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is a connection between the two. On the other hand, contemporary psychology focuses an emphasis on outward observation as a behavioral stimulant, but Sufism encourages interior, divine awareness as a type of self-purification. Sufism is a faith that was developed in the Middle East. This study employs a qualitative hermeneutic and transdisciplinary method in order to provide an explanation for muraqabah, which is defined as the absorption and transcendence of the Hawthorne effect within the context of Islamic spirituality. Muraqabah appears to be a more credible and authentic method to the process of self-transformation, according to the findings of the study. The examination of society is not the basis for this method; rather, it is predicated on a continuous divine consciousness. Developing more comprehensive and spiritually grounded forms of Islamic psychotherapy is achievable via the merging of Sufi principles with Islamic transpersonal psychology. This opens up new options for the development of Islamic psychotherapy

Abstract

This paper examines al-Lama‘at by Said Nursi as a conceptual foundation for the development of Sufistic Behavioral Economics. In contrast to mainstream behavioral economics, which emphasizes cognitive biases, decision heuristics, and bounded rationality, Nursi offers a spiritual-psychological perspective rooted in Qur’anic ethics. The concepts of qana‘ah (contentment), zuhd (detachment from material possessions), and ridha (acceptance) are understood as moral frameworks that shift economic behavior from the pursuit of material utility toward inner satisfaction and spiritual purification. From this perspective, economic decisions reflect an individual’s spiritual condition, value orientation, and moral awareness. Through a hermeneutic analysis of al-Lama‘at, this study formulates a triadic model of “inner-contentment economics” that explains the role of spiritual consciousness in shaping consumption patterns, saving behavior, and attitudes toward risk and uncertainty. By integrating spirituality, psychology, and economic behavior, this study offers a critical alternative to dominant economic paradigms and underscores the centrality of moral objectives in human economic activity.
