Scientology is a religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s. It is a controversial religion with a number of beliefs and practices that have been criticized by Islamic scholars and theologians. This article will provide an overview of Scientology from an Islamic perspective, exploring its beliefs, practices, and the Islamic critiques of its teachings and doctrines.

Scientology's Beliefs

Scientology teaches that humans are spiritual beings who have lived many lives. The goal of Scientology is to achieve spiritual enlightenment and become a "clear" being. Scientology also teaches that the universe is ruled by a set of spiritual laws and that individuals can use these laws to improve their lives.

Scientology's Practices

Scientology's practices include auditing, counseling, and training. Auditing is a process in which a person is interviewed by a trained auditor and asked to recall past lives and experiences. Counseling is a process in which a person talks to a trained counselor about their problems and experiences. Training is a process in which a person learns about Scientology's teachings and practices.

Islamic Critiques of Scientology

Islamic scholars and theologians have criticized Scientology on a number of grounds. These criticisms include:

Scientology's teachings are not compatible with Islamic beliefs about God, the prophets, and the afterlife.
Scientology's practices are not compatible with Islamic teachings about ibadah (worship) and shariah (Islamic law).
Scientology's organization is not compatible with Islamic teachings about the role of religious leaders and the authority of religious institutions.

Scientology is a religion that is not compatible with Islam. Its beliefs, practices, and organization are contrary to Islamic teachings. Muslims should be aware of the dangers of Scientology and should avoid involvement with this religion.
