Is There Islamic Proof for Spiritual Practices?

Salam alaikum, brothers and sisters. I’ve been a practicing Muslim my whole life, but lately I’ve been curious about spirituality-things like intuition (knowing something without logical steps), affirmations (repeating positive phrases to build confidence), the law of attraction (thoughts attracting similar experiences), the law of assumption (what you accept as true becomes your reality), the law of detachment (letting go of outcomes to achieve goals), and certain sound frequencies. First off, I only worship Allah, and I know everything comes from Him alone. I see these concepts as tools to train the mind-like keeping a goal in focus so your subconscious works on it automatically. Intuition, for me, isn’t something I force; I just get strong feelings or dreams that often turn out true. My questions: Is it haram to believe in these ideas? And is there any Islamic backing for them?

Wa alaikum salam. I think you’re overcomplicating it. Intuition is fitrah, nothing haram about trusting your gut if your heart is clean. Just don’t start crediting the universe instead of Allah.

Bro, I get deep dreams too, and sometimes they actually happen. I see it as mercy from Allah, not some cosmic law. Affirmations are basically making dua with conviction-nothing wrong with that.

As long as you’re not doing shirk, it’s fine. The ‘law of attraction’ is sketchy if it implies we create our own fate. Tawakkul means working hard and leaving results to Allah, not ‘detachment’. Keep your aqeedah solid.
