What does ‘Hanif’ mean?
‘Hanif‘ is an Arabic term that refers to someone who devotes themselves to the worship of one God, rejecting idolatry. Historically, it is used to describe those who followed the pure monotheism of Abraham before the advent of organized religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
What is the Hanif Movement?
The Hanif Movement is a spiritual path that seeks to return to the primordial monotheism practiced by Abraham and the other prophets. It emphasizes the worship of a singular Creator, a balanced relationship with nature, and ethical living inspired by divine revelation. The movement combines insights from Abrahamic faith traditions and incorporates elements of earth-based spirituality.
How does the Hanif Movement view the prophets?
The prophets in the Hanif Movement are seen as messengers who brought divine guidance for living in accordance with God’s will. They are honored and respected, but not worshiped.
What practices are involved in the Hanif Movement?
Practices in the Hanif Movement include prayer, meditation, the use of sacred rituals like the Elemental Rosary, Eucharistic Rites and Invocation of the Divine Attributes and reflecting on divine concepts such as Tawhid, Justice, and Destiny. There is also a focus on spiritual work with nature, incorporating the elements into personal devotion.
Who can join the Hanif Movement?
The Hanif Movement is open to anyone seeking a deeper connection with the Creator and the natural world. Whether you are from a particular religious background or none at all, the movement encourages spiritual exploration and personal growth in alignment with monotheistic principles.
Is this a Christian Church?
The Hanif Movement is not strictly a Christian group, though it draws inspiration from the teachings of Jesus and the broader Abrahamic tradition. While many of the values and practices align with Christian principles—such as compassion, ethical living, and the worship of one God—the movement also incorporates elements from Islam, Judaism, and earth-based spirituality. The Hanif Movement seeks to return to a universal form of monotheism that honors the prophets of various traditions without being tied to any specific religious institution.
What is the role of Jesus in the Hanif Movement?
In the Hanif Movement, Jesus is revered as a prophet and a powerful symbol of Compassion. He is recognized for his message of love, forgiveness, and spiritual purity. However, unlike traditional Christian theology, the Hanif Movement does not view Jesus as divine or part of the Trinity. Instead, he is seen as a human messenger who exemplified a deep connection to God and embodied the ideal of living in harmony with divine will. Jesus’ teachings are respected as part of a broader prophetic tradition, alongside those of Abraham, Moses, Muhammad, and others.
