▪️ *Claiming the knowledge of the unseen, palm reading and cup reading, etc.*
▫️ *The meaning of the unseen:* What is hidden from people of future and past occurrences, and what is not seen, is exclusive to Allah's Knowledge. Allah says: *"None is the heavens and the earth knows the unseen except Allah."* [Soorah an-Naml (27): 65].
___*PAGE 3*___.

No one knows the unseen except Allah, the Exalted. He may expose it to His Messengers if He wishes for a divine purpose or wisdom. Allah says: *"He is the Knower of the unseen, and He does not reveal His secrets to anyone. Except to him whom He chooses, namely a Messenger of His."* [Soorah al-Jinn (72): 26-27]
And then He causes an escort of guarding angels to go before him and behind him. Meaning that Allah does not reveal the unseen except to him whom He chooses from Prophet, revealing to him what He wishes because reporting about unseen things is proof of his Prophethood. This includes Messengers from both humans and angels.

He does not reveal information about the unseen world to others because He restricted such information to Prophets and angels. Therefore, anyone else who claims the knowledge of the unseen by any means is a liar and a Kafir, whether the claims such as palm or cup reading, or by divining or sorcery, or astronomy or otherwise. As for the claims of imposters and liars that they can locate lost things and report about the conditions of absent people, or causes of certain sickness by alleging that so and so bewitched you and caused your sickness, all these are only because they employ Jinn and devils, telling people that what they are suffering is a result of these works only to deceive them.

*Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said:* _"A diviner used to have a Shaytanic companion who informed him about many unseen things by eavesdropping. They used to confuse the truth with lies. He went on to say that amongst such people, was that to whom Shaytaan would bring him fruits, sweets and other things that were not available in diviner's location. Other the Jinni companion would fly them to Makkah, Jerusalem or elsewhere."_
Fortune tellers may rely on astrology, the study which assumes and professes to interpret the influence of heavenly bodies on human affairs.

They study the effects of the astrological conditions on a terrestrial event such as the times of wind and rain, the changes of prices and other conditions and they claim that they are associated with movement of planets in its orbits, when they become neat or distant from each other. Based on such information, they allege that he who consummates marriage, or travel, or who is born when certain star is at certain position, certain things will have happened to him of good or bad omen. Horoscope columns are usually published in cheap magazines to predict future events based on the signs of the zodiac.
___*PAGE 7*___.
✍️...
Some ignorant people and those having weak Eemaan, resign to diviners seeking advice for their future events, such as marriage and other things. He who claims that knowledge of the unseen, and he who believes him is a Mushrik and infidel because he alleges to share the knowledge which belongs exclusively to Allah. While planets and stars are only subjugated creatures having no will of their own, or power of any sort.
They neither indicate good or bad omens, not like or death. It is only the work of eavesdropping Shaytaan.

▪️ *Sorcery, Divination, and Soothsaying*

All these prohibited Shaytanic practices, defect or oppose the Aqeedah and can be accomplished only through polytheistic practices.
*▫️:* Sorcery turning a thing from its proper manner of being to another, for the sorcerer makes what is false to appear in the form of truth, and causes a thing to be imagined different from what it really is. Its works may be done in talismanic materials or through certain works, medicines, or smoke.
___*PAGE 9*___.
✍️...
Some magic works have physical effects on hearts and bodies that cause sicknesses, death or separate husband and wife form each other. However, such works can take effect only by the universal will of Allah. It is Shaytanic work, most of its results can be obtained by committing polytheistic practices, and by doing things that evil spirits love, such as dedicating acts of worship to those spirits.

Hence, the lawmaker equated sorcery with Shirk. The Prophet (salallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: _*"Keep away from the seven plunging sins." They inquired: "What are they?" He said: "The Shirk, sorcery..." homicide, which Allah made unlawful, to kill without a legitimate reason, devouring usury, devouring orphan's property, fleeing the battlefield, and accusing a chaste believing woman of fornication.*_ [Agree upon].
