Chapter 31: Husband should provide for wife and children

Narrated by ‘Aisha : Hind (bint ‘Utba) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is there any harm if I take of his property what will cover me and my children’s needs?” The Prophet said, “Take (according to your needs) in a reasonable manner.”

Narrated by ‘Abdullah: Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and women changing the features created by Allah. Why then should I not curse those whom the Prophet has cursed? And that is in Allah’s Book. i.e. His Saying: ‘And what the Apostle gives you take it and what he forbids you abstain (from it).’ (59.7)

Chapter 33 : Woman should not wear tight clothes

Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht (very huge) camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance.”

Narrated by Sa’eed bin Al Musayyib: Mu’awiya came to Medina and he addressed us and took out a bunch of hair and said: I never saw but the Jews using this (adding of artificial hair) and I can well recall that when this act would reached Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), he would name it as cheating.

In another narration Mu’awiya said one day : Should I tell you the evil make-up. Allah’s Apostle forbade cheating. It was during that time that a person came with a staff and there was a cloth on its head, whereupon Mu’awiya said: Behold, that is cheating.

Chapter 35 : Woman should not lie and adopt falsehood

The Prophet closed his hand, saying: I do not know this is a man’s or a woman’s hand. She said: No, a woman. He said: If you were a woman, you would make a difference to your nails, meaning with henna.

Chapter 39: Women should cover her face in the presence of foreign men

Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin Umar: A person stood up and asked, “O Allah’s: Apostle! What clothes may be worn in the state of Ihram?” The Prophet replied, “Do not wear a shirt or trousers, or any headgear, and also do not wear anything perfumed with Wars or saffron, and the Muhrima (a woman in the state of Ihram) should not cover her face, or wear gloves.”

Pengkhianat Islam zaman moden.



Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

BAITULMUQADDIS - Anak pemimpin Iran yang telah digulingkan dan kini berada dalam buangan, Putera Reza Pahlavi (gambar) meminta supaya Israel tidak mengebom negaranya, sebaliknya dia mahu rejim Zionis membantu pihak pembangkang di Iran. Pahlavi berkata demikian dalam satu temubual yang disiarkan oleh televisyen Israel, Channel 10 TV semalam. Bercakap dari rumahnya di Washington, Amerika Syarikat (AS) beliau menegaskan bahawa mengebom Iran hanya memberi manfaat kepada pemerintah revolusi Iran.

Pahlavi juga meminta bantuan Israel dengan menyatakan, negara Yahudi itu sepatutnya menggunakan teknologi dan kewangan untuk tujuan lain. Bapanya, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi mempunyai hubungan baik dengan Israel sebelum beliau digulingkan dalam Revolusi Islam pada 1979. Israel dan Barat percaya, Iran cuba untuk membangunkan senjata nuklear.

Israel yang bimbang senjata nuklear Iran mengancam kewujudannya menyatakan, ia akan menyerang negara itu sekiranya usaha diplomasi dan sekatan gagal. Pusingan baharu rundingan antara Barat dan Iran dijangka bermula minggu ini di Turki.

Pahlavi yang menyifatkan rejim Iran sekarang sebagai fanatik menyatakan, rakyat Iran akan menghargai bantuan Israel berbanding serangan ke atas tapak-tapak nuklear yang boleh mencetuskan perang besar di rantau terbabit. - Agensi

18 sebab jin merasuk manusia


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

18 sebab jin merasuk manusia:

WANITA suka bersolek dan gemar berpakaian mendedahkan aurat sasaran utama golongan jin untuk dipikat. Salah seorang imam Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam, Selangor, Ustaz Ahmad Dasuki Abd Rani berkata, dalam setiap tubuh manusia ada jin dan makhluk halus itu sentiasa berusaha mempengaruhi kita mengikut telunjuk mereka.... Pendakwah bebas lulusan Universiti Al-Azhar itu berkata, ramai manusia tidak menyedari tindak-tanduk mereka sentiasa menjadi perhatian jin.

Jin sebenarnya suka memikat manusia, terutama wanita yang suka bersolek dan gemar berpakaian mendedah aurat,” katanya ketika membentangkan kertas kerja berkaitan peranan jin di Masjid Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, baru-baru ini.

Menurut Ustaz Dasuki lagi, jin tidak akan datang mengacau seseorang itu melainkan ia sudah terpikat. “Bila sudah berkenan, jin akan berusaha memasuki tubuh orang yang dia suka dan terus bersarang di dalamnya, tambahnya.

Lazimnya, kata beliau, jin memilih manusia yang lemah semangat dan tidak mempunyai pendinding diri untuk dipikat. “Manusia yang sudah lupa Allah dan menjauhi Al Quran tidak lagi mempunyai pendinding diri dan sebab itu mudah dipengaruhi jin,” tambahnya.

Manurut Ustaz Dasuki lagi, jin menyusup masuk ke dalam tubuh manusia dengan berbagai cara, antaranya diminta manusia sendiri sama ada sedar atau tidak. Lebih malang lagi, katanya, manusia sendiri menggunakan khidmat jin sebagai khadamnya untuk melakukan pengkhianatan kepada orang lain.

Ustaz Dasuki menyatakan 18 sebab jin merasuk manusia, iaitu:

1. Apabila manusia meringankan solat dan tidak mentaati perintah Allah.

2. Terdapat alat muzik atau alat melalaikan didalam rumah

3. Meninggikan suara dalam bilik air

4. Menangis dan merintih sebelum tidur

5. Membuang air panas ke dalam bilik air

6. Melompat tinggi tanpa membaca Bismillah

7. Memasuki tempat gelap yang ditinggalkan

8. Perasaan terlalu takut dan terlampau gembira, seperti ketawa berlebihan

9. Selalu bertengkar suami isteri

10. Terlampau marah

11. Mengikut hawa nafsu

12. Terdapat gambar lukisan manusia dan anjing di dalam rumah

13. Terdapat lambang salib pada lantai, sejadah atau langsir

14. Menghadiri majlis yang melekakan tanpa menyebut kalimah Allah

15. Perempuan suka bersolek

16. Berlaku sihir perjanjian di antara jin dan tukang sihir

17. Jin jatuh cinta pada manusia

18. Suka membaca buku cerita hantu dan buku berunsur sihir.


Beliau juga memberikan beberapa tanda manusia dirasuk jin, antaranya sukar tidur malam, hati berdebar-debar terutama pada waktu senja atau perasaan resah tidak menentu. Mimpi berulang mengenai perkara yang menakutkan seperti melihat anjing hitam, kucing, ular, manusia pelik, dibawa ke kubur atau diusung ke tempat mengerikan juga dikaitkan dengan gangguan jin. Selesema berpanjangan juga dikaitkan dengan gangguan makhluk halus selain malas berzikir dan solat, katanya.

Selain itu, manusia dirasuk jin merasa sakit pada sesetengah anggotanya tapi sukar dikesan oleh doktor. Lain lain tanda ialah pening berpanjangan terutama pada waktu senja, otak lemah, tidak sedar diri serta telinga berdesing atau mendengar kata-kata suruhan tertentu.

Mengenal Dajjal dan asal usulnya.


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
Asal-Usul Keluarganya:
Dajjal adalah seorang manusia dari keturunan Yahudi. Dia bukan Jin atau apajua makhluk lain selain ia sebagai manusia yg ditangguhkan ajalnya "MinalMunzharin" seperti halnya Nabi Isa as yg di angkat oleh Allah swt ke ataslangit dan ditangguhkan kematiannya sehingga beliau nantinya turun semula keatas muka bumi ini lalu beliau akan mati dan di kuburkan di Madinah AlMunawwarah. Sama juga halnya dgn Iblis yg di tangguhkan kematiannya sehinggakiamat nanti.Dajjal; ayahnya seorang yg tinggi dan gemuk. Hidungnya seperti Paruh burung.Sedangkan Ibunya pula seorang perempuan gemuk dan banyak dagingnya.
Menurut Imam Al Barzanji ada pendapat mengatakan bahawa asal keturunan bapanya ialahseorang Dukun Yahudi yg di kenali dgn "syaqq" manakala ibunya adalah daribangsa Jin. Ia hidup di zaman Nabi Sulaiman as dan mempunyai hubungan denganmakhluk halus. Lalu oleh Nabi Sulaiman ia akhirnya ditangkap dan dimasukkanke dalam penjara. Walau bagaimanapun kelahiran dan kehidupan masa keciltidak diketahui dgn jelas.
Sifat Badannya: Hadis Huzaifah r.a katanya: Rasulullah s.a.w. telah bersabda: Dajjal ialah orang yang buta matanyasebelah kiri, lebat (panjang) rambutnya serta dia mempunyai Syurga danNeraka. Nerakanya itu merupakan Syurga dan Syurganya pula ialah Neraka(Hadis Sahih Muslim)Ada beberapa ciri perawakan Dajjal yg disebutkan dalam Hadis Rasulullahsaw, diantaranya:Seorang yg kelihatannya masih muda;Berbadan Besar dan agak kemerah-merahan;Rambutnya kerinting dan tebal. Kelihatan dari belakang seolah-olah dahankayu yg rimbun.
Dan tandanya yg paling ketara sekali ada dua:
Pertama: Buta mata kirinya dan kelihatan seperti buah kismis yg kecut,manakala mata kanannya tertonjol keluar kehijau-hijauan berkelip-keliplaksana bintang. Jadi kedua-dua matanya adalah cacat.
Kedua: Tertulis didahinya tulisan "Kafir (Kaf-Fa-Ra)". Tulisan ini dapatdibaca oleh setiap org Islam, sama ada ia pandai membaca atau tidak.Mengikut hadis riwayat At-Thabrani, kedua-dua tanda ini menjelma dalam diriDajjal setelah ia mengaku sebagai Tuhan. Adapun sebelum itu, kedua-dua tandayg terakhir ini belum ada pada dirinya.Tempat Tinggalnya Sekarang:Menurut riwayat yg sahih yg disebutkan dlm kitab "Shahih Muslim", bahawaDajjal itu sudah wujud sejak beberapa lama. Ia dirantai di sebuah pulau danditunggu oleh seekor binatang yg bernama "Al-Jassasah".
Terdapat hadis mengenainya.. (tetapi terlalu panjang utk ditulis.. anda boleh membaca terus dari buku). Daripada Hadis ini jelaslah bagi kita bahawaDajjal itu telah ada dan ia menunggu masa yg diizinkan oleh Allah swt utkkeluar menjelajah permukaan bumi ini dan tempat "transitnya" itu ialah disebelah Timur bukan di Barat.Berapa lama ia akan hidup setelah kemunculannya:Dajjal akan hidup setelah ia memulakan cabarannya kepada umat ini, selamaempat puluh hari sahaja. Namun begitu, hari pertamanya adalah sama dgnsetahun dan hari kedua sama dengan sebulan dan ketiga sama dengan satuminggu dan hari-hari baki lagi sama seperti hari-hari biasa. Jadikeseluruhan masa Dajjal membuat fitnah dan kerosakan itu ialah 14 bulan dan14 hari.
Dalam Hadis riwayat Muslim ada disebutkan:Kami bertanya: "Wahai Rasulullah! Berapa lamakah ia akan tinggal di mukabumi ini? Nabi saw, menjawab: Ia akan tinggal selama empat puluh hari. Hariyg pertama seperti setahun dan hari berikutnya seperti sebulan dan hariketiga seperti seminggu. Kemudian hari yg masih tinggal lagi (iaitu 37hari) adalah sama seperti hari kamu yg biasa.
Lalu kami bertanya lagi: Wahai Rasulullah saw! Di hari yg panjang sepertis etahun itu, apakah cukup bagi kami hanya sembahyang sehari sahaja (iaitu 5waktu sahaja). Nabi saw menjawab: Tidak cukup. Kamu mesti mengira hari itu dgn menentukan kadar yg bersesuaian bagi setiap sembahyang.."Maksud Sabdaan Rasulullah saw, ini ialah supaya kita mengira jam yg berlalu pada hari itu. Bukan mengikut perjalanan matahari seperti biasanya kitalakukan. Misalnya sudah berlalu tujuh jam selepas sembahyang Subuh pada hariitu maka masuklah waktu sembahyang Zohor, maka hendaklah kita sembahyang Zohor, dan apabila ia telah berlalu selepas sembahyang Zohor itu tiga jam setengah misalnya, maka masuklah waktu Asar, maka wajib kita sembahyang Asar. Begitulah seterusnya waktu Sembahyang Maghrib, Isyak dan Subuh seterusnya hingga habis hari yg panjang itu sama panjangnya dgn masa satu tahun dan bilangan sembahyang pun pada sehari itu sebanyak bilangan sembahyang setahun yg kita lakukan. Begitu juga pada hari Kedua dan ketiga.
Fitnah Dajjal: Dajjal telah diberi peluang oleh Allah swt utk menguji umat ini. Oleh kerana itu, Allah memberikan kepadanya beberapa kemampuan yg luar biasa. Di antara kemampuan Dajjal ialah:
1. Segala kesenangan hidup akan ada bersama dengannya. Benda-benda beku akan mematuhinya.Sebelum kedatangan Dajjal, dunia Islam akan diuji dahulu oleh Allah dgn kemarau panjang selama 3 tahun berturut-turut. Pada tahun pertama hujan akan kurang sepertiga dari biasa dan pada tahun kedua akan kurang 2/3 dari biasa dan tahun ketiga hujan tidak akan turun langsung. Umat akan dilanda kebuluran dan kekeringan. Di saat itu Dajjal akan muncul membawa ujian. Maka daerah mana yg percaya Dajjal itu Tuhan, ia akan berkata pada awan: Hujanlahkamu di daerah ini! Lalu hujan pun turunlah dan bumi menjadi subur. Begitujuga ekonomi, perdagangan akan menjadi makmur dan stabil pada org ygbersekutu dgn Dajjal. Manakala penduduk yg tidak mahu bersukutu dgn Dajjal..mereka akan tetap berada dlm kebuluran dan kesusahan.
Dan ada diriwayatkan penyokong Dajjal akan memiliki segunung roti (makanan) sedangkan org yg tidak percaya dengannya berada dalam kelaparan dan kebuluran.Dalam hal ini, para sahabat Rasullullah s.a.w. bertanya:"Jadi apa yg dimakan oleh org Islam yg beriman pada hari itu wahai Rasulullah?"Nabi menjawab:"Mereka akan merasa kenyang dengan bertahlil, bertakbir, bertasbih dan bertaubat. Jadi zikir-zikir itu yang akan menggantikan makanan." H.R Ibnu Majah2.
Ada bersamanya seumpamanya Syurga dan Neraka: Di antara ujian Dajjal ialah kelihatan bersama dengannya seumpama syurga dan neraka dan juga sungai air dan sungai api. Dajjal akan menggunakan kedua-duanya ini untuk menguji iman org Islam kerana hakikat yg benar adalah sebalik dari apa yg kelihatan. Apa yg dikatakan Syurga itu sebenarnya Neraka dan apa yg dikatakannya Neraka itu adalah Syurga.
3. Kepantasan perjalanan dan Negeri-Negeri yang tidak dapat dimasukinya: Kepantasan yg dimaksudkan ini tidak ada pada kenderaan org dahulu. Kalauhari ini maka bolehlah kita mengatakan kepantasan itu seperti kepantasanjet-jet tempur yg digunakan oleh tentera udara atau lebih pantas lagidaripada kenderaan tersebut sehinggakan beribu-ribu kilometer dapat ditempuhdalam satu jam"…
Kami bertanya: Wahai Rasulullah! Bagaimana kepantasan perjalanannya diatas muka bumi ini?Nabi menjawab:"Kepantasan perjalanannya adalah seperti kepantasan "Al Ghaist" (hujan atauawan) yang dipukul oleh angin yang kencang." H.R MuslimNamun demikian, Dajjal tetap tidak dapat memasuki dua Bandar suci umat Islamiaitu Makkah Al Mukarramah dan Madinah Al Munawwarah.
4. Bantuan Syaitan-Syaitan untuk memperkukuhkan kedudukannya:Syaitan juga akan bertungkus-lumus membantu Dajjal. Bagi syaitan, inilahmasa yg terbaik utk menyesatkan lebih ramai lagi anak cucu Adam a.s.


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
We are told in the Qur'an that Prophet Ibraheem, alayhis salam, said, "And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me." [26:80]

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said: "There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it cures it with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious." (Muslim)
Also, the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, said, "Make use of the two remedies: honey and the Qur'an." (Tirmithi)

The use of spiritual forms of healing, such as payers and meditation have become quite popular. This is in part a result of a resurgence in religion and so-called "New Age" beliefs. Major medical centers and health care institutions are even studying the effects of salah on healing. For Islamic purposes, the use of specialized prayers (duaa) or Qur'anic verses are known as ruqyah.
The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, and his companions used this method of healing, as evidenced by many ahadeeth in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and others. Muslims are advised to provide ruqiyah for Muslims and even non-Muslims that are sick.
The sick are also able to provide ruqiyah for themselves. Ruqyah is a valuable tool for treating a variety of disorders and diseases. This may include snake or scorpion bite, the evil eye (or envy), and psychological problems that Jinn may cause.
Aisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) narrated that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, used the following duaa when family members were sick, "Allahumma Rabban-nas, adh-hibil-ba's, washfi, Antash-Shafee, la shifa'a, ilia shifa'uk, shifa'an la yughadiru saqaman. (O Allah, Lord of mankind! Remove this disease and cure him. You are the Great Curer, there is no cure but through You that leaves behind no disease.)" (Bukhari and Muslim)

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, told Amr ibnul Aas, "Place your hand where you feel pain and say 'Bismillah' three times, and then repeat seven times A'oudho bi'izzatil-lahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa 'uhadhir. (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that afflicts me and that which I apprehend.)" (Muslim)

Suratul-Fatihah, the opening surah of the Qur'an, is also recommended as a cure for sicknesses and diseases. Allah's Messenger said, "Fatihatul Kitab contains healing for every disease." (Tirmithi)
Bukhari has reported that several of the Prophet's companions used Suratul-Fatihah as a treatment for a snake or scorpion bite. They returned to the Prophet and asked the permissibility of receiving a sheep in payment for providing the ruqiyah. The Prophet then asked how they knew that Suratul-Fatihah was a ruqiyah. He added that they had done the right thing. Bukhari has also reported that Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas (surahs 113 and 114) are also protections against illness and evil.
One hadeeth has reported that the Prophet would recite mu'awwidhat (Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas). He would then blow his breath into his hands and rub his hands over his body, hoping for its blessings. Tirmithi has reported that the Prophet used to seek protection against jinn and the evil eye until Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas were revealed. After they were revealed, he held to them and discarded everything beside them.

There are those who believe wearing charms with certain surahs or verses on them are a protection. Others believe that placing these charms on infants will protect them from Jinn and the evil eye or believe that having decorative wall-hangings with Qur'an is a protection. Some may write these verses or surahs on a piece of paper. They then dip the paper into a glass of water and drink the water.
These actions are not the prescribed actions by the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, and may come close to shirk. Allah and His Messenger have given us directions for using prayer 'whether duaa or ruqyah' and the Qur'an for healing. We must accept these directions and use them accurately while trusting in Allah's Will and Might.

Magic and Fortune-Telling Part 2

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
For thousands of years people have been fascinated, awed and fearful at the unknown and mystical, being heedless of the dangers and harm that they inflict. As Muslims it is imperative to understand these evil-filled practices and to protect ourselves from them.MagicHaving the power to do supernatural and seemingly impossible things is referred to as 'magic'.
It can be categorized as either sorcery, which is magic that uses the power of evil spirits for evil purposes; or as illusionism, which is the skill of performing tricks in which you seem to make things appear, disappear or change, as if by magic.
Ruling Both sorcery and illusionism are unlawful in Islam. Sorcery can only be performed with the aid of devils whose help is attained when the performer attributes them as partners to Allah in worship. Illusionism does not involve polytheism, but may none-the-less lead one astray.
It is a sin because it implies an act of disobedience.Magic is a destructive act, and therefore Islam warns against it. Believers should avoid magic and magicians; take precautions to heed the danger they represent and attempt to expose their false allegations. The following evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah has asserted this ruling.Allah says: 'And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter.
And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their own selves, if they but knew.' [The Qur'an 2:102]Abu Hurairah, radhiallahu anhu, related that 'The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, said: 'Avoid seven most dangerous things.' The Companions asked: 'O Messenger of Allah! What are these things' He, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, answered: 'Making anyone or any thing a partner of Allah; practicing magic; killing a living being whose life has been declared sacred by Allah without justification; practicing usury; misappropriating the property of an orphan; running away from the infidels in a battle; and slandering chaste, innocent, believing women.' (Bukhari and Muslim)
Ordained PunishmentAccording to Islamic law, the penalty that awaits every sorcerer is death. The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, said: 'Kill every sorcerer, for this is the punishment ordained by Allah.' Umar ibn al-Khattab sent messages to his viceroys in those countries under Islamic rule ordering them to kill all sorcerers. This was later confirmed by Uthman Ibn Affan, Hafsah Bint Umar, Abdullah Ibn Umar, and Jundub Ibn Abdullah, radhiallahu anhum.Fact or FictionAn illusion has an effect on the onlookers that seemingly make things or happen when in reality, they do not.
Musa, alayhes salam, said: 'Nay, throw you (first)! Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.' (Qur'an 20: 66).Spells can have a genuine effect that can manipulate the body; even to the extent that it can cause sexual impotence. It may also make the affected person go insane, as it disturbs the emotional balance.
Allah says in the Qur'an: ' And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's leave.' (2: 102)
Breaking a Magic SpellThe best way to break a spell is by reciting assigned verses from the Qur'an and to utter specific invocations specially worded by the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam. Another allowable method would be to use medicines lawfully prescribed for the particular case under examination.
What is unlawful, however is to use magic as a means to break a spell because this is likely to be done by the aid of devils.
Whoever recites verse 255 of the Surah of al-Baqarah (No 2) before going to bed, Allah sends him a keeper that protects him against the devils until he wakes up. Recite verses 285 and 286 of the Surah of al-Baqarah. Say: 'I seek refuge with Allah?s perfect words from the evil of what He has created.'
Say the following three times: 'In the name of Allah, Whose mention is a protection against whatsoever harm is on the Earth or in the Heavens. Verily, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.'Fortune-TellingFortune-telling is the belief that some people possess the ability of telling other people what will happen to them in the future by using magical or mystical methods. These rulings also apply to people who claim knowledge of the unseen, such as geomancers, palmists, shell-diviners, etc.
A fortune-teller uses devils who eavesdrop in the Heavens; Allah says in the Qur'an: 'Shall I inform you (O people!) Upon whom the devils) descend' They descend on every lying, sinful person. Who lends an ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the Unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.' (26:221-223)This knowledge of what the angels may have said is then passed to the people who are often prepared to believe what the fortune-teller says. The problem is that what people believe is true, has been embellished or changed, omitting the truth.
Ruling:Fortune-telling is considered 'Shirk Akbar' (the major and serious form of polytheism) for two reasons.
First, it implies the acquisition of knowledge of the Unseen, which is unique to Allah, (alone). 'Say: 'None in the Heaven and the Earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected.' (Qur?an 27: 65).
This means that any one who believes that he possesses such knowledge is certainly claiming the acquisition of a Divine attribute that Allah (alone) possesses. Second, it involves using devils and holding fast to them, a ritual that can only be perfected when the performer is in complete submission to that damned species. This is a form of polytheism.
The Danger of Attending Fortune-Telling AssembliesIn recent years, the number of fortune-tellers has dramatically increased, only being outnumbered by those who attend their assemblies and believe what they are told. Some people are fascinated and impressed by observing those who cannot miss the opportunity to make fortunes out of imparting their fabrications. People who attend fortune-telling assemblies are divided into three groups:Those who go to fortune-tellers to ask them about the future without truly believing in their falsehoods and without having the slightest intention of disclosing their falsehood to the public.
People in this group are sinful and their prayers are not accepted for forty days.Those who believe in the prophecies of the fortune-tellers and go to ask them about the future. These people are regarded as disbelievers since they deny the truthfulness of the Qur'an: 'Say: None in the Heavens and the Earth Knows the Ghaib (Unseen) except Allah.' (27: 65)
Those who go to fortune-tellers and only ask them in order to examine the truthfulness of their prophecies; then disclose their deceit to the public. These types of people publicize that fortune-tellers only offer misguidance that can make believers go astray.However, if someone uncertain that he is capable to take on such a task and accomplish it perfectly, he should not attempt it.
Such a weighty undertaking could pose a risk to himself, and result in failure that may likely tempt people even further.
