Lo que el islam enseña sobre Hablar en lenguas
Según el islam, Hablar en lenguas se considera Mubah (neutral).
El islam no tiene categoría de glosolalia ni razón para prohibir vocalizaciones calladas, pero reclamarla como revelación divina es imposible tras el Sello de los Profetas (Corán 33:40), y la expresión extática en el culto no es parte de la práctica islámica. El dhikr sufí puede producir estados extáticos; los eruditos los regulan.

Islam's relationship to the question is definitional rather than experiential: the tradition has a closed canon of revelation. Muhammad is 'the seal of the prophets' (33:40), the religion 'perfected' (5:3), and subsequent claims to prophetic revelation are impossible — the theological category (claiming new revelation) is worse than eccentric; historically, claimants have founded movements Islam counts as outside the fold. Glossolalia as claimed-speech-from-God therefore cannot be validated; as private, non-propositional vocalization it is simply foreign to Islamic worship forms, which are textual, bodily, and disciplined. What Islam does have: ecstatic spirituality in Sufism — the dhikr ceremonies (repetition of the divine names) can carry experienced practitioners into absorbed states (hal), and some orders' whirling and vocalizing resemble other traditions' ecstatic worship; jurists debate the legitimacy of induced states, with the classical majority wary and the orders defending them as tasting (dhawq) rather than revelation. The standard Islamic test for any spiritual claim is Shar'ia conformity: does it match the Book and Sunnah? — a test ecstatic utterance cannot pass, and Muslims are counseled to anchor devotion in the commanded forms.

Is speaking in tongues a sin?
Every tradition here judges spiritual claims by conformity to its own revelation and by their fruit.

What is 'prayer language' versus the Pentecost gift?
Pentecostals distinguish Acts 2's languages (public, understood, a sign) from 1 Corinthians' private prayer tongue (edifying the individual, 'mysteries to God').
Pentecostals distinguish Acts 2's languages (public, understood, a sign) from 1 Corinthians' private prayer tongue (edifying the individual, 'mysteries to God'). Pentecostal doctrine treats the latter as initial evidence; other charismatics treat it as one gift among many; cessationists accept neither. The traditions all direct the questioner to community discernment.
Should churches forbid tongues?
Paul's explicit answer is no (14:39) — but with the chapter's regulations: interpretation for public use, order in the assembly, love over display.
