Chakra And Sufism?
Yeah, you can say that they didn’t steal the concepts of Hinduism but their practices. They just copied the meditation and yoga of Hindu religion, Hindus used to chant their mantras (OM OM) to concentrate and they starting doing Dhikr to concentrate and enter the that state/realm. There are even reports of Mansoor Al Hallaj visiting India. During the time of Sahabas, and even after the 200 years of the demise of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh, these practices entered into Islam. The main thing is meditation and yoga not the concepts, once one learn these practices he/she will come to the same conclusion about Monism. Even people who practice OBEs or Astral Projection become monists. Both Islam and concepts derived meditation cannot be true at the same time. Islam stands on the ground that one should believe in the unseen and surrender and submit totally to Rab ul Alaameen and consider this world as a test. And One should follow the religion on the basis of logic and reasoning. Whereas the sufis or mystics strive to meet their Lord in this world, and believe in the concept of “Die before death”. For them both good and bad is illusion. The famous Sufi Mansoor Al Hallaj or Hussain ibn Mansoor Al Hallaj, to whom our Muslim scholars consider him Great Auliya even started believing in Reincarnation. Following Hindu practices whether knowingly or Unknowningly will have a influence on everyone since it has a religious background.
haha you are right. I also left astral protection and meditation for the same reason, people have created their own reality in mind and that reality is much real than their lives in this physical plane. Soon Muslims will learn about these mystical experiences and realms, since NDEs are becoming very much popular and circulating on social media. There may be many other paths, but Allah says this Islam/Quran is the only “straight” path. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam drew a line for us and said. “This is Allaah’s Straight Path.” Then he drew lines to its right and left and then said. “These ore other paths. Upon every one of them there is a devil calling towards it.” Then he recited: “Indeed this is My Straight Path, so follow it, and do not follow other paths that will separate you from His Path.” [Soorah al-An’aam 6:153].” [1]
