The Role of Affirmative Action in Treating Psychiatric Diseases through Risale-i Nur: Anxiousness Self as A Model

Abstract

This article discusses the role of affirmative action in protecting from anxious self, and its effective contribution to treating its negative effects on building human civilization through Risale-i Nur by Imam Badi Al-Zaman Al-Nursi. Three main issues are discussed in this study: the causes of anxiousness self, the concrete effects of anxiousness self on individuals and society and the values of affirmative action that are used in treating the anxiousness self and its negative impacts. The causes of anxiousness self and its effects on individuals and society were extracted by using the inductive approach of Risale-i Nur. But the descriptive method was used to extract the effective values of affirmative action to protect from it and treat its effects. The study confirms that concentrating and completing work are among the affirmative action basics regardless of the results. It also draws attention to the importance of the media to reduce the penetration of anxiousness self among society members. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of collective actions, whether they are religious or non-religious, to treat the anxious self and reduce its impacts.
