Should we be believing in Horoscopes?

Horoscope is forbidden, ONLY ALLAH Subhana Wa Ta'ala, The Creator of all, knows everything that is in the Heavens and the Earth.

Sheikh Sayyed M. Ad-Darsh, the former Chairman of the UK Shri`ah Council, states the following:

"Let us make this absolutely clear that there is no room in Islam for anyone predicting the future.

(Reported by Muslim)

He is also reported to have said, "Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes in what he says, has denied what was revealed to Muhammad."

The above ruling is based on the fact that what was revealed to Prophet...
