Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it true that meditation is haram in Islam?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meditation is not haram in Islam. In fact, it is recommended. In Islam meditation and reflection is to empty one\u2019s mind from everything, except Allah (SWT)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah (SWT) says in the Quran,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0643\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0670\u0628\u064c \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0632\u064e\u0644\u06e1\u0646\u064e\u0670\u0647\u064f \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u064a\u06e1\u0643\u064e \u0645\u064f\u0628\u064e\u0670\u0631\u064e\u0643\u065e \u0644\u0651\u0650\u064a\u064e\u062f\u0651\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0653\u0627\u0652 \u0621\u064e\u0627\u064a\u064e\u0670\u062a\u0650\u0647\u0650\u06e6 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0643\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064e \u0623\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0671\u0644\u06e1\u0623\u064e\u0644\u06e1\u0628\u064e\u0670\u0628\u0650<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.\u201d<\/em>[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah (SWT) also says in the Quran,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0623\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064e\u062a\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0671\u0644\u06e1\u0642\u064f\u0631\u06e1\u0621\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0645\u06e1 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0642\u064f\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0628\u064d \u0623\u064e\u0642\u06e1\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064f\u0647\u064e\u0627\u0653<\/span><\/p>\n

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.[3]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
