A very important discussion in Islamic humanities is the "necessity of the establishment approach"; If we want to have an established approach, we must be able to consider Islamic humanities in a coherent and systematic manner along with other Islamic sciences; This research draws the epistemological geometry of Islam in such a way that humanities are also considered a part of it. The aim of this research is to outline the generalities of epistemological geometry and the formulation of Islamic macro concepts and different epistemological branches in the religious thought system. The main research question is "in the epistemological geometry of Islam, what place is drawn for Islamic psychology?" The findings of this research indicate that:. There is a systemic relationship in Islamic education; 2. Without drawing and explaining the epistemological geometry of Islam, it is not possible to express the relation of Islamic humanities with an established approach to other Islamic sciences; 3. This epistemological geometry can be represented in a symbolic form, the connection of its components with each other is clear. 4. Psychology is in the sixth row in the cognitive field, in the seventh row in the emotional field, and in the eighth row in the behavioral field of that symbolic form.
