All their interests in Eastern religions’ psychologies...

All their interests in Eastern religions’ psychologies revolve mostly around ‘Abhidhamma’, Buddha’s teachings and ancient scriptures of India, China and Japan. They turn away from the Qur'an which describes their actual state of mind: Most of the people of the Book wish to turn you to disbelief after you have embraced faith, owing to the jealousy they have in their hearts, despite the truth having become manifest to them.

[^3] We are making here an attempt to present to our readers, irrefutable spiritual reality to reawaken the human intellect to the ‘Light of Allah’ for prosperity and success here and hereafter. This will remove the spiritual vacuum Charles Tart has pointed to in his transpersonal psychology. The analysis of the problem in the preceding chapter reveals belief as one of the fundamentals of our life.

How it works in self-exploration and self-actualization amounting to incredible manifestations of real human self, falls beyond the scope of reason. However, it functions within the confines of scientific method but in its own peculiar way. The believer who attains a close link with Allah through firm faith in Deen, its perfect implementation and deep love for the Holy Prophet (SAW), experiences his own spiritual observations and undergoes the rigors of experimentation dictated by the discipline.

But this has never so far been studied and comprehended in a scientific way. Studies in parapsychology, however, have attempted to find the facts that have remained hidden from rational scanning. The research has brought forth certain experiences that a psychic undergoes. This has opened doors of investigation to new realities of life difficult for the scientific studies to absorb.

Nevertheless, its significance towards understanding spiritualism and the reinforcement it provides to stabilize faith in the spiritual truths can never be underestimated. It is because our spiritual life too operates through the same apparatus of human psyche that engenders psychic experiences. This takes us into an interesting phase of our present inquiry.

The purview of Reason and Science “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”[ 4 ] Reason is a unique faculty bestowed upon man by Almighty Allah. It is a distinctive attribute of man. It is intangible itself but has an access to empirical (existential) reality and can perform brilliantly under the illumining guidance of transcendent (essential) reality.
