Video Muslim Child Past Life

This is beyond fascinating. I wonder where he is now? I can’t tell how old this video is. I also wonder if it is common to give children English names because how coincidental is it that his name is O’Neill!

The accent he has when he is younger is exactly that of a London English accent. It’s spot on. Then, as he gets older, his accent turns slightly more generic with tones of an Arabic accent in English, probably because of the obvious environmental influence.

There is absolutely no known reason for this boy to speak English in the accent he has. There is no reason for him not to pick up his own native language either. The scientists dismissing this is distressing because we can’t stop looking for answers. Despite their skepticism, we still do not have proof of what consciousness actually is, so how can anyone reasonably say it does not survive death?

This is a highly interesting case. A young Israeli boy from a Druze community (I wouldn't say Muslim) doesn't talk until the age of three and then starts to talk in English, despite the fact his relatives talk in Arabic and have difficulties understanding him.

I remember my oldest son, saying 'daddy' to his father (between 1 and 2 years old - we are non-English speakers) but he said it in such a heavy accent that he certainly wouldn't have passed as a native speaker. It didn't go on and it might have happened only a few times. I still remember because when your (first) child starts to speak, you follow every syllable that comes out of his mouth, so you can rush to the telephone to report to his grandmother (my own mother, of course) every single new word that your little wonder has learned that day. Later on in his life, he and his brother have watched a lot of English series and movies and both learned the English language relatively quickly but not until ten years later. Not as toddlers. So, according to me, there is no way this little boy could have picked up a language he wasn't exposed to or hadn't emerged from the beginning of his life.
 
The forum's owner, Carol Bowman, forwarded this video to be posted here on the forum. It is interesting and presents a good case, well documented by these journalists. The video has been translated into English.

Muslim Child Remembers His Past Life

What do you think?

This is an interesting case study because it has happened in an environment where belief in reincarnation was not part of the rigid religious and social conditioning.
This phenomenon is also known as Xenoglossy.

In fact, as per the wikipedia article on xenoglossy, the bible and Christian religious literature too records of miracles of certain individuals being able to speak, read or write in a foreign language. I would say such miracles are just knowledge of past life languages which have somehow rose to the consciousness from the hidden unconscious.

Since there was no understanding of reincarnation in Christian theology at those times, it was possibly seen as a miracle of sorts without any tangible explanation for it.

Well, actually it was. That's why it is important not to call him a Muslim boy because he is a Druze. The Druze do believe in reincarnation which is a great pillar of their religious faith.

The op stated that he was a Muslim so I went along with it. :D

But I am glad to get to know about the Druze , about whom I had no prior knowledge of.

Druze interestingly is an Abrahamic religion with links to Shia Islam, is monotheistic and holds reincarnation as its beliefs, and have an interesting theological perspective. I am glad to know that there is at least one Abrahamic religion which has reincarnation as a central belief.

Druze believe that at the end of the cycle of rebirth, which is achieved through successive reincarnations, the soul is united with the Cosmic Mind (al-ʻaql al-kullī).

There are around two million adherents of the Druze, and I am glad to know about this interesting religion now at least.

Here I must say that there are examples of muslims who I have read of, having past life remembrances. The Sufi master Inayat Khan was favorable to the concept of reincarnation in his works.

The spiritual master Mumtaz Ali Khan, or Sri M, as he is popularly known, is of Muslim origin of Afghan ancestry, and had talked about his past life as a Hindu yogi in his autobiography, 'Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master'.


In an article in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 4, No. 2, 1990, University of Virginia researcher Antonia Mills provides an overview of various cross-religious Indian cases, that is, Hindu-to-Muslim or Muslim-to-Hindu, and then provides a detailed analysis of one Muslim-to-Hindu case.

It was an interesting and thought-provoking video. Though it seemed to emphasize the language, the speaking of English, and with a particular accent. I barely noticed any mention of actual past-life memories. I think there was a little bit, about things, objects but not much about himself, his life. Who he was, what he did for a living, and so on wasn't really explored in the video. Mostly it was the language that was the topic. Maybe I wasn't paying proper attention - which is quite likely.
