The word "shaakila" is just used one time in Qur'an. "shaakila" means anything that makes a man bounded appropriately. Allame Tabatabayi has discussed about this word under the 84th verse of Esra'a surat more than the other commentators. The best equal word in psychology for "shaakila" is "personality". There are several factors to form personality, but man's will plays the most important role. There are various forces inside a human. As a result of paying special attention to each force, a specific personality will be formed according to which a person will act. Moreover, others’ expectations will be based on man's formed personality. The Holy Qur'an has focused on human's beliefs; however, psychology has emphasized on mankind's physical aspect. So, Qur'an has categorized three types of human beings depending on their beliefs: believers, nonbelievers and oppressors. Although, psychology has tried to use psychic methods, there has not been any contradiction between the Qur'anic knowledge and psychological results; however, psychology has sometimes gone astray.
