:)Hi I'm a muslim, two years ago I came to hear about reiki. I just knew that it was something right for me and I took the Level 1 attunement and a year ago, the level 2. I feel really at peace being able to help myself and others with the Divine's love. I have experience so much positive things in my life from my reiki experiece and i appreciate life and Allah's blessings so much more. The thing is I live in a country where people of different religions live peacefully side by side. Yet reiki is not something that is openly discussed among muslims. I would like to have your views on reiki and islam please. Love n light. Shein
RE: islam and reiki
Hi Shein,
I'm afraid I know nothing much about Islam, but I'm glad you are getting the benefits of being attuned to Reiki.
Why not pop along the the New Members forum and introduce yourself over there.
I will be interested to read peoples views on this subject because, as you say, it's not something you hear a lot of muslims talk about.
Love and Reiki Hugs

RE: islam and reiki
Hello Shein,
I don't see how Reike practice or attunement can compromise Islam. In fact, as with Christianity, I believe that one would compliment the other. If Reike brings higher levels of attunement and if you can reach that state of 'being' that Islam should be about, then there's no harm in it.
Go with what you feel best.
Love,
Patsy.

RE: islam and reiki
You are right patsy, and in fact reiki is very much a part of what islam and the teaching s are about.
islam is all for learning and developement, we are encouraged to learn and push ourselves, both spiritually, mentally and physically.
healing and learning about cure, health etc and healing is important and we are encouraged to do as much as we can for our own benefit and the benefit of our society and mankind as a whole.
DR Kabbani is interesting..worth looking up on the internet for his writings on these matters and how they also relate to islam.
Dr. Kabbani writes that Prophet Muhammad was once in a session where he was curing people through spiritual methods when he was asked whether or not remedies should also be sought from medicines. He replied, "Yes, you must seek remedies from medicine, because whatever disease God has created in this world, He has also created its remedy as well. But there is one disease for which he has not created any remedy, which is old age." Each prescribed Quranic verse has its own unique healing property that differs from those of other verses.
"There issues from within the bodies of the bee a drink of varying colors wherein is healing for mankind." (Nahl 16:69)
we all know that honey has healing properties!
but over all the suggestions made throughout the Qu'ran is that health and healing must be sought on spiritual, emotional and physical levels..all are mentioned,
