Islamic Quotes and More on Fortune-Telling ..


FORTUNE - TELLING

 The Salaah (Daily Prayer) Of Whoever Approaches A Fourtune - Teller And Asks Him About Anything Will Not be Accepted For 40 Days And Nights.

 - Prophet Muhammad 
(Peace Be Upon Him)




















Astrology, horoscopes, superstition and fortune-telling are all actions of Jaahiliyyah (ignorance) which Islam came to show as false and to explain that they are Shirk, because they involve depending on something other than Allaah and believing that benefit and harm come from something other than Him, and believing the words of fortune-tellers who falsely claim to have knowledge of the unseen in order to cheat people of their money and change their beliefs. 

The evidence (Daleel) for that is the Hadeeth narrated by Abu Dawood in his Sunan with a Saheeh Isnaad from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allaah (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“Whoever learns anything of astrology has learned a branch of witchcraft (al-Sihr)…”

And al-Bazzaar narrated with a Jayyid Isnaad from ‘Imraan Ibn Husayn that the Messenger of Allaah (Peace Be Upon Him) said: 

“He is not one of us who practises augury or has it done for him, who tells fortunes or has his fortune told, or who practises witchcraft or has that done for him.”

Whoever claims to know some matter of the unseen either is a fortune-teller or is acting like a fortune-teller in some sense, because Allaah is the only One Who has knowledge of the unseen. Allaah says:

“Say: ‘None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghayb (Unseen) except Allaah…’” [27:65]
 
To everyone who has anything to do with these matters is to repent to Allaah and ask for His forgiveness, and to depend only on Allaah and to put their trust in Him in all their affairs, whilst following the practical means that are prescribed or permitted in Sharee’ah. 

They should give up these matters of Jaahiliyyah, keep away from them and avoid asking the people who practice them or believe what they say, out of obedience to Allaah and His Messenger (Peace Be Upon him), and in order to protect his commitment to Islam and his ‘Aqeedah (religious belief).

A Perspective:      "Being a celebrity is a job, they pamper themselves and get conditioned to smile in front of the fans and act kindly in front of everyone. Think about how as an employee, you have no other choice but to act obedient and submissive towards your superior, that's the same logic that applies between celebrities and fans. They treat you well only because you're the reason they get to lay food on the table."  - Anoynymous        "500 years ago, entertainment was the lowliest profession. Today, entertainers teach society its morals and ethics.

Supporting Child Refugees - Rant

At the very start of one’s life everyone should be given the chance to pave their own future to the utmost best, using abilities and talents that can develop in a thriving country such as the UK. This would much benefit the UK as they would have a vast multi-talented society to help continue the immense enhanced development of the country. The UK is a first world country that has the competence to help the progress of skill and capabilities which can help mould new generation of kids to inevitably being contributing members of our community. Children need a safe place of refuge not just to become remarkable adults in the future but to also have a childhood that can positively be remembered. Children at the end of the day should have a right to be children – not frightened, confused or miserable. I believe you should support child refugees if you are able to be a voice for vulnerable children, that have voices but ultimately cannot be heard.  We should all want al...
