The aim of the present study was to critique the anthropological foundations of the theory of the client-centered of Karl Ransom Rogers. Rogers had a optimistic and positive view about man. According to Rogers, man is basically a rational, social, progressive, and realistic whose most important motivation is self-actualization. In this direction, the basis and criterion for action is self-organization. We do not need to worry about human antisocial traction because they are not innate in humans and are tributary. Also, man is not able to acquire definite knowledge of external reality, and everyone has his own perception of reality. However, according to Islam, human beings are valuable in nature and have inherent dignity and can attain acquired dignity. In addition to the positive aspects, man also has the downward aspects that must be balanced in the shadow of religion and nature spirit. It is also possible to attain knowledge and acquire it, and the instructions of the religion regarding the acquisition of knowledge, thought, and sectarianism indicate this. Also, self-actualization in Rogers' theory focuses on the biological aspects of human beings, while according to Islam, moving in the direction of servitude and the goal of creation with a divine motive will lead to human self-actualization and closeness (nearness) to God.
