Is it permissible to psychoanalyze the personalities of the prophets based on what is mentioned in the Quran, taking into account the saying of Prophet Jacob, "Indeed, it grieves me that you should take him, and I fear that the wolf would eat him while you are heedless of him," and his recommendation to his sons to enter through separate gates, and what might result from that, such as describing them with attributes like "anxiety" and "doubt"?

The human psyche holds a significant presence in the Quran, and exegeses and numerous books have addressed this topic, such as "Psychological Insights in the Holy Quran" by Abd al-Hamid Muhammad al-Hashimi, and "Human Archetypes in the Quran" by Ahmed Muhammad Faris. The most notable among these is "Quranic Expression and Psychological Connotation" by Dr. Abdullah bin Muhammad al-Jiayousi, who established guidelines for the psychological approach to Quranic interpretation. These include: adherence to the Quranic discourse, following the transmitted exegesis, understanding the environment of revelation, referring to the linguistic origin, observing the rules of grammar, considering the integration of texts, the exegete's familiarity with sciences related to the Quran, examining the implications of the text, and not relying solely on personal taste.

A believer must venerate the prophets and be respectful when speaking about them, because God chose them, and they are excellent role models. The Quran mentions the virtues of Jacob (peace be upon him) in the story of Joseph, including: his wisdom in guiding Joseph, his patience in loss (which is natural and does not diminish the status of prophethood), his reliance and trust in God, his confidence in God’s promise, his eagerness to raise his children, and his mercy and compassion.

Whoever describes Jacob as anxious and doubtful has erred, for the Quran affirms his tranquility and optimism, as in His saying: "(O my sons! Go and search for Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of God’s soothing comfort)," and his saying upon meeting Joseph: "(Did I not tell you that I know from God what you do not know?)." The situations described as anxiety are in harmony with human nature, such as his fear for Joseph from the wolf, or his command to his sons to enter through different gates for fear of the evil eye, along with his trust in God; all of this does not diminish Jacob’s status nor does it indicate anxiety and doubt, but rather the taking of means.

In conclusion: The status of the prophets is great, and one must be cautious when speaking about them, for they are not like other people and should not be considered a "field for psychological experiments."
