Spirituality and religiosity were considered unscientific components which cannot be measured objectively. Yet, due to the failure of some contemporary approaches in handling overly complex problems of human beings or ibtilā‟ in these modern days, there has been an increasing interest in the role of spirituality and religion in psychotherapy. Historically, the great Muslim scholar Jalāl al-Dīn al-Rūmī in his Mathnawī has provided numerous couplets towards the healing process.
