There are among mankind people who claim knowledge of the unseen and the future. For example, it has become common practice in North America to publish, at the beginning of each year, the various predictions of famous fortune-tellers.

Fortune-tellers use various methods and mediums from which they claim to extract their information, among which are: reading tea-leaves, drawing lines, writing numbers, palm-reading, casting horoscopes, crystal ball gazing, rattling bones, throwing sticks, etc.

Not only is the practice of astrology Haraam (forbidden by Islamic Law), but so are visiting an astrologist and listening to his predictions, buying books on astrology and reading one's horoscope. Any Muslim who allows astrological predictions to determine his actions should seek Allah's forgiveness and renew his Islam.
