About Islam: What is the position of Islam on Scientology? Can a Muslim become a Scientologist? (Answer: No.)
Respectful Request: Because this is posted in the Scientology Breaking and Major News section and there is already a thread devoted to Islam, I respectfully request that the discussion be limited to the topic of Scientology and perhaps the relationship of Scientology to Islam, and not include critiques of Islam itself. As I said, there is already a thread devoted to that purpose and if any Muslims run across this thread (perhaps through a Google search), I would like them to find a substantive discussion of Scientology and also feel welcome. Thank you

Hossam Ed-Deen Allam
13 October, 2020
Short Answer:
To begin, in principle, the relation of the Muslim with those of other faith traditions is founded on mutual respect and understanding.
Secondly, the Quran and hadith specifically state that there is no compromise on Islamic creed.
Thirdly, the Quran emphasizes that there is no secrecy in the teachings and acts of worship in Islam.
Lastly, the Quran states that there should be no monetization of the teachings and acts of worship in Islam accordingly.
Accordingly, in addition to the evident fact that a Muslim does not need to join Scientology, it is not permissible for a Muslim to become a Scientologist
