Abstract—This paper presents a
new approach that study the effect of islamic prayer “as-salat” on the
management of obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd). Our approach uses
algorithmic representation of OCD and islamic prayer, and a fault-tolerance
based technique to confront the cognitive behavioral disorder and the
therapeutical one (i.e. “as-salat”).

I. Introduction
The obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
is one of the most common cognitive and behavioral disorder over the world. It
has been considered as the result of esoteric influences, and spiritual
disorder. Since the apparition of cognitive and behavioral therapies, many
success have been registred in the treatment of such disorders, but there are
still so much improvements to be done since OCD patients reach 3 % of the
global world population.
Severeal studies have been done to
consider the use of holistic or body-mind-spirit approach to treat OCD, such as
Yoga (Randomized controlled trial of yogic meditation techniques for patients
with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Shannahoff-Khalsa DS, Ray LE, Levine S, Gallen CC, Schwartz BJ, Sidorowich

Science, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA. CNS

anxiety disorders - Krisanaprakornkit).
The common knowledge in muslim tradition is that the islamic rituals, habits Role

and religious activities (such as islamic prayer « as-salat ») do
protect or at least diminish the occurrence of psychological (cognitive or
behavioral disorder). There are some interesting work, still so rare, that details
the islamic point of view about psychotherapy (Journal of Muslim Mental Health,

). The documentation lack of methodical
and rigourous studies to fund these thesis. Our paper is written to fulfill the
same goal, while trying to give some analytical fundments, and
« information technology » borrowed techniques and methods used to
back up our analyse. In the following chapter, we will detail the background
and theoritical bases that are necessary to understantd the problematic of this
work. In chapter 3, our approach details a an algorithmic pattern (logical
representation) (A) followed (respected) by OCD. Then, we present an
algorithmic pattern (B) reprensenting the daily islamic prayer activity
« as-salat ». In chapter 4, we detail our contribution, a
fault-tolerant based approach to confront the OCD model inside/through the
islamic prayer model. Finally, we give conclusions and give further
possibilities and application of our work.
