telekinesis/psychokinesis

Post by moiz.ashiqali@yahoo.com »

Ya Ali Madad
Psychokinesis is being used for ages in fields like Martial arts, Chinese healing, etc.
But Is it true Islam forbids it?
According to Quran:
"Suleiman (Solomon) did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved teaching men magic" (2:102)
"And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the scripture threw away the book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know. And they followed what the devils gave out falsely of magic of the reign of Solomon; for Solomon did not disbelieve but the devils disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angles) taught anyone (such things) until they had said: we are only for trial, so don't disbelieve. And from them (magicians) people learn that through which they would cause separation between a person and his spouse, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's leave; and they learn that which harms them rather than profits them. And indeed they knew that its practitioner would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their own selves if they but knew" (2:101-2).

Please clarify...

Definition of psychokinesis. : movement of physical objects by the mind without use of physical means — compare precognition, telekinesis.

In any authentic esoteric tradition, it is possible for man to elevate himself and acquire the powers of creating anything by simply applying his will and thought.

When man elevates himself, he becomes one with Allah, hence he can create anything out of nothing by simply applying his will, just as Allah creates when he wishes and wills. He can also bring a dead man to life.

Hence there is nothing un-Islamic about man having the powers of Allah.

Definition - The supposed process of communicating through means other than the senses,
as by the direct exchange of thoughts. The difference is that in telepathy there is communication invloved without senses, whereas in telekinesis there is influence on external objects without material means.

Telepathy is a real experience/phenomenum but it cannot be tested or verified through scientific means as per MSMS in his Memoirs (pg 312):

"Mr, Chaplin is interested in certain psychical and non-physical phenomena, such as telepathy and its various derivatives. He quoted to me Einstein's demand that ten scientists should witness at the same time, and under prescisely similar conditions, every case of this kind submitted, before he would consider these manifestations proven. He and I agreed that the imposition of this kind of test would make all psychical research and experiment impossible, for these phenomena-and the laws under which they occur-are simply not at the beck and call of human beings".
