Does Islam Agree With the Law of Attraction Philosophy? (Sheima Sumer Series)

Well first of all, what is the law of attraction?

So basically the Law of Attraction says that what's happening in your outer world experience is simply a reflection of your inner world experience. And your inner world experience would be your thoughts and your feelings. The law of attraction is also referred to as the law of vibration. What this means is that your thoughts, which cause your feelings, create a vibration that you're in. So you could be In a positive vibration or negative vibration and you are going to attract events and objects and situations that match your vibration. So basically your thoughts and your feelings affect your outer world. They affect what you attract. That is the law of attraction. And so your thoughts and your feelings have a frequency and when you feel bad you are emitting a negative frequency and unfortunately your negative frequency will be reflected back to you through certain life events. And if you feel good you have a positive frequency which will attract to you positive life situations. And for example good feelings/good frequencies in order of their power would be love, gratitude, joy, hopeful expectation and satisfaction.

Good feelings make you feel empowered. Bad feelings include depression, hatred, jealousy, anxiety, guilt and anger. Of course we have bad feelings sometimes but the idea is to recognize your bad feelings and do something to feel better and to shift your frequency or vibration.

Another interesting point is that if we think about something that we do not want for a long period of time or with great emotion, then we are likely to attract what we do not want. So the law of attraction teaches us to think about what we want; Focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Because if you think about debt-if you're in debt and you think about your debt then you attract more debt. Instead you want to think of attracting more money, of abundance.

So the law of attraction which was really publicized by the Secret movie and Secret book is saying that we can have what we want in life but we need to stay in a posi...
