Reviewing and Criticizing Spiritual Humanism in Separating Spirituality from Religion with an Emphasis on Prophetic Hadiths

Many movements and schools of spiritualism that have emerged in the new era and the contemporary era and claim to quench human nature's desire for excellence, with the slogan 'I am spiritual but not religious' are in opposition to divine religions and trying to marginalize them. These movements, which have emerged and grown in a humanistic context, have epistemological, anthropological, and ontological foundations, which must be scrutinized and criticized in order to prove the ineffectiveness of these schools in quenching man's thirst for true spirituality. Among the most important anthropological foundations of secular spirituality is humanism, which places man in the place of God and does not take any external authority such as revelation and divine religions. On this basis, spiritual humanism has its roots in the concept of monism, in which spirituality is defined as something completely earthly and worldly by not distinguishing between material and spiritual things, and with the union of the Supreme God with the inner God, there will no longer be a difference between the sacred and the unholy, heaven and earth, spirit and material, the visible and invisible worlds, and the hereafter and this world. Things like divinity itself, changing the value system, replacing the theory of reincarnation instead of the resurrection, changing the attitude of cognitive salvation, and negating the unseen world as an independent world are among its possible consequences. This research, with a descriptive-analytical method, tries to criticize this basis with an emphasis on prophetic hadiths. The spiritual journey and the attainment of original and true spirituality and dignity in the words of the Holy Prophet of Islam, can only be achieved in the shade of recognition and acknowledgment of poverty and the dependence of human beings on their creator and continuous communication with him in the form of servitude and piety. Based on this, man's independence from God and his turning away from divine revelation and heavenly religions will have no result other than the loss of his original identity and being trapped in the valley of alienation. Accordingly, true spirituality and spiritual life will not be formed with such an idea.
