The Critique and Review of the Objectivity of Prayer and the Law of Attraction by Rhonda Byrne with Reference to the Psychology in the Sadrian School of Philosophy
Since Rhonda Byrne’s Law of Attraction is one of the keywords in motivational classes, claiming that humans can manifest their imaginations by focusing on them, and has cited prayer (Dua) as one of its examples, a comparative examination of prayer and the Law of Attraction as mentioned in The Secret is highly significant. The author aims to demonstrate the fundamental discrepancies between the two, from the perspectives of ontology and anthropology. In this article, the principles and characteristics of the Law of Attraction are initially introduced and examined. Then, the ontological and anthropological foundations of prayer within the Sadrian system of philosophy are analyzed. Finally, an analytical comparison between the two concepts is conducted. The conclusion reached from this comparison is that, in terms of their underlying foundations, the Law of Attraction is in complete contradiction to prayer. The Law of Attraction is based on a materialistic and humanistic perspective, whereas prayer is defined and explained within a monotheistic framework. In prayer, although the human being is regarded as an active agent, their agency operates within the will of God, who plays the central role. Despite this foundational contradiction, there are some practical and effective points of overlap between the two, which has led some to mistakenly assume that the Law of Attraction and prayer are the same. The intended audience for this paper is researchers in religious studies.
