![]() Nevertheless, it should remain clear that just as extra-ordinary physical abilities (as we see in weight-lifters, boxers, wrestlers etc.) are not a religious phenomena, such extra-ordinary mental abilities are not a phenomena related to religion. There are even organized courses that are being taught by some institutions on this subject 1. These abilities, at varying degrees, can be developed by human beings. There are certain people who have developed the ability of telepathy, bending spoons etc. I would, therefore, suggest that before taking any steps in trying to determine the explanation for such phenomena, you should get the existence of such phenomena certified from sources, which are objective and generally considered to be reliable and ask them for a scientific explanation for such happenings. It would be known and acknowledged by all, without anyone having to visit Columbia. ![]() The phenomenon would indeed become a ‘ Taj Mahal‘, overnight. Scientific studies would be sponsored and undertaken immediately. Obviously, the CNN, the BBC and the likes would not ignore such significant, publicly visible happenings. I really think that if such a thing as a weeping statue ever occurred, it would be reported all over the world through the electronic media, much before any documentary is even planned to be prepared. Nevertheless, the important thing is that before trying to determine the nature of any such phenomena, it should first of all be confirmed by reliable sources. It is quite possible that the phenomena that you have referred to may have something to do with the manipulations of the jinn. angels and jinn – that exist and can, at times, interact with humans. The Qur’an has also informed us about two other beings – i.e. For instance, the Qur’an tells us that after a person dies, a curtain lies between the dead and the world ( Al-Muminoon 23: 100), which, in my opinion, implies that the connection of the dead with this world is completely broken. There are, however, a few hints that Islam gives on these topics. It may come as a surprise, but Islam does not have much to say specifically about the phenomena that you have referred to. Did the Prophet (pbuh) warn against such things? I would be very grateful if you could ease my wondering mind since I have not found any answers anywhere else. So, taking these things into consideration, is there anything in the Qur’an/ Hadith or Islam in general that give some sort of explanation, or accounts of these things? I think there is a Hadith warning against false visions etc, but I can’t be sure. Would this belief be contradictory to Islamic belief in any way? One more thing, the universe being so vast, it would be prudent to believe that intelligent life other than man exist in it. Some of my family members even claim to have experienced such things, and a friend of mine claims to have witnessed an exorcism! ![]() In fact, there are many people claiming to have witnessed these things.įinally, what is the Islamic view of evil spirits/possession and such things? I have met and heard so many people claiming to have seen a “ghost” or a dead relative that I feel compelled to learn what (if anything) Islam says about these things. There is also the phenomenon of “psychic powers”, that is, some people claim to have the ability of telepathy and the ability to bend spoons etc. There are many documentaries and programs/books that I have seen/read that report these things, and I have a friend who claims to have experienced some of these things in his home country of Columbia. For example, there are always dozens of reports about “weeping statues” and “bleeding icons of Christian saints” etc. ![]() I have always wondered what Islam in general has to say regarding supernatural phenomenon. I have some questions about Islam that I have been unable to find any answers to.
