KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — Following recent allegations concerning the practices of eHati International Sdn Bhd, the company's founders have issued a firm denial, clarifying that their programmes do not promote teachings that contradict Islamic principles. The controversy arose from discussions surrounding elements like 'Tantra' and references to 'magic mushrooms,' leading to concerns about the programmes' alignment with Islamic values.

In a recent media statement, eHati's leadership addressed these concerns head-on, emphasizing their commitment to upholding Islamic teachings and ensuring their programmes remain within the boundaries of acceptable practices. They explained that the terminology used, particularly regarding 'Tantra,' is often misinterpreted and lacks the negative connotations attributed to it in certain circles.

“The term 'Tantra' we use is derived from a spiritual understanding focused on self-discovery and personal growth, completely distinct from the practices often associated with the term in Western contexts,” clarified one of the founders. “It involves techniques for enhancing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and spiritual development – all within an Islamic framework.”

Regarding the references to 'magic mushrooms,' eHati explained that these are used metaphorically to represent transformative experiences and profound insights gained through their programmes. “We do not advocate for or incorporate any substance use. The references are purely symbolic, representing the potential for significant personal change and spiritual awakening,” they stated.

Understanding eHati's Approach

eHati International Sdn Bhd focuses on holistic well-being, integrating emotional, mental, and spiritual development. Their programmes utilize a unique blend of psychological techniques, mindfulness practices, and Islamic principles to help individuals overcome emotional challenges, build resilience, and cultivate a deeper connection with their faith. The core of their approach centers on understanding and addressing the root causes of emotional distress, rather than simply managing symptoms.

The company’s programmes are designed to be compatible with Islamic beliefs and values, emphasizing ethical conduct, compassion, and self-improvement. They collaborate with Islamic scholars and religious leaders to ensure their teachings align with mainstream Islamic understanding.

Addressing Public Concerns and Moving Forward

eHati acknowledges the public's concerns and welcomes open dialogue regarding their practices. They are committed to transparency and are actively engaging with relevant authorities and community leaders to address any misunderstandings. They have expressed their willingness to provide detailed explanations of their programmes and demonstrate their adherence to Islamic principles.

“We understand the sensitivity surrounding these issues, and we are committed to fostering trust and clarity. Our intention is to empower individuals to live more fulfilling and spiritually enriched lives, always within the framework of Islamic teachings,” concluded the founders.

The company has urged the public to avoid spreading misinformation and to seek accurate information directly from eHati or verified sources. They believe that a constructive dialogue, based on understanding and respect, is essential for resolving these concerns and ensuring the continued provision of their services to those in need.
