Concept of horoscopes in Islam | What Quran Says About Horoscopes

what is horoscope??

Some another religion say!
A horoscope cannot tell you what is going to happen, to you or to anybody else. But it can tell you what kind of person you are. Some psychologists use horoscopes to understand and help people who are upset or confused about themselves.

The role of horoscopes (astrology) in Islam:

Astrology, horoscopes, superstition and fortune-telling are all actions of jahiliyyah (ignorance) which Islam came to show as false and to explain that they are shirk, because they involve depending on something other than Allah and believing that benefit and harm come from something other than Him, and believing the words of fortune-tellers and soothsayers who falsely claim to have knowledge of the unseen in order to cheat people of their money and change their beliefs. The evidence (da level) for that is the hadeeth narrated by Abu Dawood in his Sunan with a Saheeh isnad from Ibn e Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever learns anything of astrology has learned a branch of witchcraft (al-sihr)”

what Quran says about horoscopes:
And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. (Al-Quran surah hijer verse 16)

Buruj (mansions of stars) are signs of Allah. For it is not possible to pass through one sphere of the Heaven into another, as each sphere of the space has been fortified by invisible boundaries. In this connection, it may be noted that literally the Arabic word Burj means a fortified place, but as a technical term of ancient astronomy, this stood for each of the twelve signs of the Zodiac, which marked the sun’s path through the heavens. This has led some of the commentators to form the opinion that in this verse the word Burj refers to the same.

“We have beautified it”: We have placed a shining star or planet in each of these spheres and made them look beautiful. In other words, it means; We have not made the boundless universe dismal, desolate and frightful, but so beautiful that one finds marvelous order and harmony in it everywhere, and sights therein are so attractive that each one of these charms hearts and minds. This wonderful structure of the universe is a clear proof of the fact that its Creator is not only Great and All-Wise but is also a perfect Artist.

now it’s clear according to Quran that ALLAH made Burj to beautify universe, not for the fortune teller or knowing future.
