			Another question here
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			a salam ala Ko is allowed to check the horoscope
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:31
			of the partner you intend to marry? Is it allowed to check the horoscope of the partner you intend
to marry? The short answer to that is no. Don't check the horoscope of anyone, not yourself not not
anyone you're intending to marry at all. Why? Because horoscopes are
		
00:00:33 --> 00:01:23
			basically astrology right? And of course the Prophet sallallahu wasallam forbade astrology, right?
In the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever learned anything of astrology
has learnt a branch of witchcraft. He called it witchcraft. And in many other narrations as well,
you know, astrology, soothsayers, people telling us, you know, what's gonna happen in the future?
The all of these things are things that are basically shake. You know, they're associating partners
with Allah. Why? Because we're depending on something other than Allah, and we're ascribing to other
than Allah, knowledge that only Allah subhanaw taala has, right, because when you go to when you
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:08
			check horoscopes, and when you go to somebody, for example, an astrologer to tell you things about
somebody based on the stars, you're basically saying that something other than Allah has knowledge,
or controls the universe, right controls people's fate, people's lives, people's personalities, et
cetera, right. And all of this is false. And Islam came to remove all of this from human beings and
human societies, this superstitious stuff. So don't check horoscopes don't go anywhere near
horoscopes, okay? And the real way to check somebody out, is, of course, to look at their track
record, get some references for that person, right. I recommend you get some references, somebody
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:44
			who's traveled with that person, somebody who's lived with that person, somebody who's studied with
them, maybe done business with them. If you find those types of people, and you ask them sincerely
to offer to provide you with a reference or character reference anything about them that you want to
know, then it's their duty to provide that to you. Okay, so I think we need to start becoming
practical. Stay away from superstition. Be practical, look into the person's personality and history
through you know, practical means, and stay
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			far away from horoscopes stay away from astrology as a Muslim
