For
many years people used to believe in astrology, but the right
scientific base of astrology is established in the twenty century, let
us read …
People
who believe in astrology around the world are spending millionsof
dollars to predict the future and to analyze the personality.
But what is astrology?
Astrology
is defined as it's a relationship between astronomical phenomena and
some events in human world. Others believe that astrology most often
consists of a system of horoscopes.A horoscope is a chart or diagram
representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, the astrological
aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the
moment of a person's birth.
The
nearest star to earth is about 4 light years. It means the outgoing
light from that star takes 4 light years to reach earth which is 10
million millionkilometers.The question, is it a realistic thought that
there is a possible effect for that star in spite of this huge distance?
Astrologists
are trying to make people believe that they speak scientifically but in
fact they not. But people are losing much money and became depressed
because of those astrologists.
Galaxy
Andromeda or M31 is the nearest galaxy to our planet, it is 2.25
million light year far from earth, how can a star in a galaxy contains
one hundred thousand million star affects the destiny of a man on earth?
Nowadays,
the scientists discovered that the farthest galaxy from earth is twenty
thousand million light yearsand that galaxy contains more than one
hundred thousand millionstars. The scientists used the latest technology
to discover that galaxy, is it rational to believe that a star in that
galaxy may affect our life on earth. Difficulty, human can see the light
of these stars so how can we get affected by the movement of these
stars?
The prophetic miracle
Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him came in a time when people used to believe in
myths and legends, at that time Astrologists were like information
agencies as what they say was reliable and trusted. The prophet
corrected all wrong thoughts and beliefs when he said about astrology: "anyone comes to an astrologist and believe in what he says; Allah Almighty will not accept hisprayers for forty days."
Here,
we have to think and believe that if Mohamed is not a prophet from
Allah Almighty he would accept what his people do and agree them in what
they believe about astrology.
Allah Almighty says: (Say
(O Muhammad ): "I don't tell you that with me are the treasures of
Allah, nor (that) I know the unseen; nor I tell you that I am an angel. I
but follow what is revealed to me by inspiration." Say: "Are the blind
and the one who sees equal? will you not then take thought?"){Sûrat Al-An’âm –verse50}
Astrology and mental illness
Islam prohibits anynonscientificpredictions likeastrology, He Almighty says: (Allah
will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until
He distinguishes the wicked from the good. Nor will Allah disclose to
you the secrets of the Ghaib (unseen), but Allah chooses of His
Messengers whom He pleases. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. And
if you believe and fear Allah, then for you there is a great reward.){Sûrat Al-Imrân –verse 179}.
Scientists
proved that astrology causes many mental and psychological disorders to
people who believe in it as the one who believes in astrology, if
expected events didn’t happen;itdrives him or her todepression and
series psychological diseases.
Conclusion
Prophet
Mohamed peace be upon him wants us to build our beliefs on scientific
bases not on myths and legends so he told the believers:(any
one goes to an astrologist and believe in what he says, so he became a
disbeliever by the message of Mohamed (religion of Islam))([narrated by ahmed]
Allah Almighty alerts us that we have to be attention by what our prophet says by saying: (Verily,
there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad ) from amongst yourselves
(i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any
injury or difficulty. He (Muhammad ) is anxious over you (to be rightly
guided, to repent to Allah, and beg Him to pardon and forgive your sins,
in order that you may enter Paradise and be saved from the punishment
of the Hell-fire), for the believers (he is) full of pity, kind, and
merciful.){Sûrat At-Taubah –verse128}
In
another verse He Almighty tells us that He ordered His prophet to tell
people that the prophet himself doesn’t know the future by saying: (Say
(O Muhammad ): "I possess no power of benefit or hurt to myself except
as Allah wills. If I had the knowledge of the Ghaib (unseen), I should
have secured for myself an abundance of wealth, and no evil should have
touched me. I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings unto people
who believe."){Sûrat Al-A‘râf-verse188}
Finally,
People should know that our destiny is between the hands of Allah
Almighty who is the only one who knows the unseen.We have to remember
the holy verse: (And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all
that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is
in (or on) the earth and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but he knows it.
There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or
dry, but is written in a Clear Record.){Sûrat Al-An’âm-verse59}.
