title: [The importance of Islam religious philosophy for psychiatric practice].
abstract: Experience has shown that Muslim patients in psychiatry cause special problems. The article outlines the Islamic religion and demonstrates that Islam embraces all spheres of its follower's life. This causes many kinds of special behaviours and attitudes that have considerable consequences for psychiatric therapy. The consequences in the most important areas of therapy are illustrated, and this should enable the therapist to gain an adequate understanding of the world of his patients. However, if he works often with Muslim patients it will be essential for him to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the religion on Islam.
