Problem

In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

 

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.

 

Islam teaches that knowledge of the future or that which belong to the unseen realities is the exclusive realm of Allah; even the Prophet and chosen messengers do not possess such knowledge. Allah tells His messenger to declare:

“Say [O Prophet]: “I do not say unto you, ‘God’s treasures are with me; nor do I know the unseen; nor do I say unto you that I am an angel. I follow only that which is revealed unto me.” (Al-An`am 6: 50)

 

“Say [O Prophet]: “I  have no power over what benefit or harm may come to me, save as God wills. Had I knowledge of the unseen, I would have acquired much good, and no evil would have touched me. I am only a warner and bearer of glad tidings unto people who believe.” (Al-A`raf 7:188)

 

So, knowledge of the unseen is the exclusive realm of Allah; therefore if anyone claims to know the future he is associating partners with God, and those who believe in them or condone such practices are also committing blatant shirk.

 

The Prophet said, “Whoever visits a soothsayer and asks him something forty days of his prayers will not be accepted.” (Muslim)

 

Therefore, as a  Muslim, you ought to shun such practices and seek repentance and renew your shahadah and expiate for your sins.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
