One of the prominent phenomena in contemporary and non-religious mysticism, which has rapidly spread among various social groups in recent years, is the “Law of Attraction”; a law whose fundamental elements include concepts such as the sentience of beings and vibration. In this law, the sentience and vibration of beings are explained in relation to one another based on specific principles and particular goals, often leaving little room for foundational religious values—although at times these teachings may align with certain religious concepts. One such point of convergence is the notion of beings’ glorification in the Qur’an, which presupposes a form of awareness for each entity. Comparative analysis shows that while the “sentience of beings” in the Qur’an can generally support the principle of intelligence and consciousness in the world, the manner of explanation and the discourse used in the Law of Attraction differ significantly from revealed teachings. Moreover, although religious texts assign profound individual and social effects to human intentions, thoughts, and mental states, the concept of “vibration” in the Law of Attraction fundamentally diverges from what is presented in Qur’anic teachings and includes numerous propositions that lack solid argumentative support.
This study, using a library-based method and an analytical-critical approach, examines and compares the two main components of the Law of Attraction—sentience and vibration of beings—from the perspective of revealed teachings, demonstrating that while some claims of this law are compatible with religious principles, a significant portion suffers from foundational deficiencies and serious inconsistencies.
