This book is a serious attempt to understand the human condition. Why does humanity relentlessly stray down the “path of error and sin?” Is sin inevitable for humankind? Is humanity a victim of Satan, or is humanity responsible for its own sins? Is it possible for humanity to become like Satan? This deconstructive study of human behavior is, we claim, a scientific and psychological attempt to understand sin and its various forms, without judgment, favoritism, or bias. There is no humanity without sin! Why?
The book attempts to utilize contemporary and experimental psychological studies to understand and explain error, sin, and their relationship to psychological disorders, albeit in an accessible and simplified manner for non-specialists. Furthermore, the book’s chapters compare and draw upon the Quranic text in a way we believe to be novel. The book attempts to combine two methodologies (a hybrid approach) to offer a new understanding, perhaps, of sin, its types, and its psychological causes.
The book is a journey we need for reflection and for understanding human behavior with serious scientific and methodological tools (compared only to the holy text), but we hope that it is easy to understand and receive for everyone.
