Pages:27-29
Akbar Husain (Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pardesh)

There is a considerable significant increase in behavioral disorders among people of various age groups. The prevalence of behavioral disorders is mainly due to socio-cultural changes, ignorance, love with this world, stress at the personal, social and organizational level, etc. Spiritual remedies have proven to be of tremendous benefit and value to the human beings at large. From the point of view of Islam, behavioral disorders are due to the deviations from the Islamic traditions. Husain (2006) has discussed anger, conceit, envy, gossiping and false suspicions, hypocrisy, and ignorance, love of worldly wealth, miserliness, ostentation, and pride and boastfulness and suggested the coping strategies for these evils and vices in the light of Islamic traditions.
