What is the description of Zodiac signs in islaam?? Are they allowed to be believed?
Sermon – 82 of Nahj al Balagha
(When Imam ALI A.S. decided to set out from Kufa to face the rebellion of Kharijites at Nahrawan, Afif one of his companions told him not to undertake the journey just then because according to astrology it was an inauspicious moment, and his journey would not end in victory. Imam ALI A.S. replied to him in the following words:)
Do you think that you are competent enough to tell of a time when a journey, if attempted, would end in a failure of the mission, and you are qualified enough to frighten anybody to believe that if an expedition is undertaken at a particular moment it would result in loss and disaster! Whoever testifies or accepts your assertions falsifies the teachings of the Qur’an, and is indifferent towards the Mercy and Kindness of Allah SWT. in allowing to secure objects that he wishes to have and in averting misfortunes and calamities. Besides this your declaration makes the point clear that those who believe in your assertions should praise you instead of Allah SWT. , because you can always direct them to act at such opportune moments when they will always gain and never lose or suffer. ( Saying this to Afif, the Imam A.S. turned towards those who had gathered there and said ) :
O People ! Abstain from learning and believing in astrology. Accept only those facts ( of astronomy ) which will guide you on land and sea, because astrology will lead you towards magic, witchcraft and charlatanry. An astrologer is like a magician ( who practices in black magic ) and such a magician is an infidel, and all infidels shall go to Hell. You should commence your journey in the name of Allah SWT.
No! In Islam the practice of astrology is generally considered to be haram( and zodiac signs are one of them). Islam emphasizes the importance of relying on Allah and seeking guidance through prayer and the Quran,rather than relying on the positions of celestial bodies.
