Comments on: Is horoscope true? http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/is-horoscope-true/ Its 'Her' Perspective of the World Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:17:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Habib ur Rehman http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/is-horoscope-true/comment-page-1/#comment-354 Habib ur Rehman Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:29:49 +0000 http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/?p=1485#comment-354 Belief in astrology and the casting of horoscopes are in clear opposition to the letter and spirit of Islaam. It is really the empty soul, which has not tasted real eemaan (belief) that seeks out these paths. Essentially these paths, represents a vain attempt to escape Qadr (fate). The ignorant believe that if they know what is in store for them tomorrow, they can prepare from today. In that way, they may avoid the bad and ensure the good. Yet, Allaah's messenger was told by Allaah to say: "Say (O Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam): ' I possess no power over benefit or hurt to myself except as Allaah wills. If I had the knowledge of the ghayb (unseen), I should have secured for myself an abundance of wealth, and no evil should have touch me. I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings unto people who believe." [7:188] True Muslims are therefore obliged to stay far away from these areas. Thus, rings, chains, etc., which have the signs of the zodiac on them should not be worn, even if one does not believe in them. They are part and parcel of a fabricated system which propagates kufr and should be done away with entirely. No believing Muslim should attempt to guess his sign. Nor should he or she read horoscope columns in newspaper or listen to them read. And, any Muslim who allows astrological predictions to determine his actions, should seek Allaah's forgiveness and renew his Islaam. JazakAllah Khair............
