This article tries to elaborate on the thought of Ibn ‘ArabÄ« prayer and its implications for modern human behaviour, as well as the capacity of Ibn ‘ArabÄ« in the field of sufistic psychology. The findings of this study indicate that prayer according to Ibn 'ArabÄ« is "mercy" which implies that Allah removes His servant from error (á¸alÄlah) to guidance (hudÄ), and from misery (syaqÄwah) to happiness (sa'Ädah). Allah bestows mankind prayer as the peak of unity (waḥdah) between God and His servants, through which a human being can "see God". Then, as proof that Ibn 'Arabá¿‘ has the capacity in the field of Sufistic Psychology can be seen in his thoughts about soul development (takmá¿‘l al-nafs) which is associated with life for the attainment of happiness in the hereafter, the primacy of the soul (al-faá¸á¿‘lah al-nafsiyyah), physical virtues (takmá¿‘l al-nafs) al-faá¸á¿‘lah al-badaniyyah) and the virtues of taufá¿‘qiyyah. And the psychological perspective of Ibn Sufism's ‘Arabá¿‘ prayer has several implications, including: prayer has implications for the establishment of communication between the servant and Allah, human peace of mind, discipline, harmony of social ties, the process of adaptation, and mental health.
