Integrating Qur’anic Perspectives and Cognitive Psychology in Understanding Nisyān (Forgetfulness) and ‘Ajalah (Hastiness) as Human Limitations

Human beings possess both potential and limitations. The Qur’an illustrates these limitations through Nisyān (forgetting), which reflects limitations in memory, and ‘Ajalah (haste), which represents the tendency to act hastily. Cognitive psychology explains these characteristics through processes involving memory, attention, decision-making, and response control. This study aims to analyze the concepts of Nisyān dan ‘Ajalah in the Qur’an, examine their relationship with cognitive psychology, and develop a more comprehensive understanding of human limitations through the integration and interconnection of these two perspectives. Data were collected through library research by documenting relevant Qur’anic verses, tafsir literature, and cognitive psychology sources. The research materials comprise Qur’anic verses concerning ‘Ajalah and ‘Ajalah, exegetical interpretations, and relevant cognitive psychology literature. This study contributes to the development of interdisciplinary studies in Qur’anic and Tafsir scholarship by integrating the concepts of Nisyān dan ‘Ajalah with cognitive psychology to understand human limitations. The findings indicate that Nisyān dan ‘Ajalah represent human limitations in remembering and regulating behavior. The Qur’an provides the normative foundation, while cognitive psychology explains the underlying mechanisms. Integrating these perspectives promotes self-awareness, learning, and self-control in accordance with Qur’anic guidance
