Summary

The 2010 Federal Territories fatwa rules that the teachings and beliefs of ESQ Leadership Training by Ary Ginanjar Agustian, and similar teachings, deviate from Islam because they can damage Islamic creed and law. The listed features of deviation include liberalism and religious pluralism, the claim that prophets attained truth through experience and searching, mixing non-Islamic spiritual teachings with Islam, and making conscience and logic the main reference. The fatwa also lists denial of miracles and use of Rashad Khalifa's Code 19 to interpret the Quran. Its notes clarify that the concept of conscience exists in Islam and that reason is recognised as one source of knowledge.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
