Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological analysis of self-sacrifice from the perspective of Islamic sources through qualitative analysis.
In him, the method of qualitative analysis of the content of religious texts was introduced and the principle of synonymy, polysemy, lexical domain and Component analysis was used. 
Sample unit, verses and narrations were related to self-sacrifice. The data were first analyzed using the principles of text preprocessing and then formulated using the principle of interaction in psychological context. The research findings show that self-sacrifice means having another prioritize oneself in what one needs. Its components are: safe and without harassment, without asking for help, the helper needs it and the help is right.
In self-sacrificing behaviors, human dependents have priority and if they need it, self-sacrifice is not worthy of others. A distinction can be made between self-sacrifice and altruism. In fact, self-sacrifice is specific to altruism and may be altruistic behavior but not self-sacrifice. It should be noted that self-sacrifice in religious sources is divided into three types: self-sacrifice in life, self-sacrifice in property, self-sacrifice in questioning and self-sacrifice in prayer.
