Human growth is a topic that is frequently discussed at all levels of society. Human development in Islam and the West have frequently been contrasted, but psychological comparisons of human development between Sufi luminaries al-Muhasibi and Maslow remain rare. This article will seek to assess the contributions made by these two persons to human development, both in terms of differences and similarities. This study is qualitative since it applies a content analysis methodology, which entails reading the writings of relevant personalities and publications by other academics who are related to them. The findings reveal that there is a difference in the goal of human development between these two personalities; yet, both approaches should be copied by all members of society. This essay has consequences for human development in terms of achieving the best possible self-development.
