What is the ruling on modifying and teaching Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in a way that aligns with Islamic عقيدة (creed), while utilizing unreal stories to convey ideas, and stating that failure and success are ultimately by the decree of Allah Almighty?
It has been previously stated that Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is forbidden due to its corrupt philosophical and doctrinal roots, and its reliance on ideas that posit a singular existence, as well as its use of illusory means. This discipline cannot be purged of its contraventions because it is founded on the exaltation of the subconscious mind and reliance on illusory matters. It is more prudent to avoid this discipline, for the Quran and provide ample sufficiency over anything else. As for hypothetical stories, scholars have differed on their ruling if they are free from prohibitions: some disliked them, while others permitted them if their objective was noble.
