Some communities suffer from tyranny, where tyrants overpower people. They humiliate and enslave them due to internal psychological motives. Here lies the research problem. This research aims to find out psychological motives that drive tyrants to steal people’s freedoms like a fierce animal. The study also aims to unmask the concept of tyranny. The study aims to clarify tyrants’ psychological motives concept. It also aims to highlight Islamic Da‘wah approach in treating tyranny motives. The researchers employ inductive approach to analyze these motives through Qur'an and Sunnah texts. The study concludes that tyranny is the pathway to evils, backwardness of societies, wasting efforts and oppressing mankind, and that poor upbringing leads to tyranny. It can be cured through Islamic education. Vanity, arrogance, narcissism and self-ego are malicious motives of tyranny. Da‘wah could fight tyranny through treating its motives by guiding to good behavior.
