http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveIslam_LiveIslam/ What Seperates our Group from the rest ? Only Authentic Information about Islam is passed backed by Quran or Hadith's. In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Major Sins #6 Astrology, or believing that the stars and planets have an influence on people's lives and events Zayd ibn Khaalid al-Juhani reported: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led us in the morning prayer at al-Hudaybiyah after rain had fallen during the night. When he had finished, he turned around to face the people and said: 'Do you know what your Lord says?' They said, 'Allaah and His Messenger know best.' He said: '[Allaah says]: This morning one of My slaves became a believer in Me and one became a disbeliever. As for the one who said, "We have been given rain by the grace and mercy of Allaah," he is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars; as for the one who said, "We have been given rain by such-and-such a star," he is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the stars.'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari; see Fath al-Baari, 2/333) Similarly, the one who reads the Horoscopes in newspapers and magazines and believes what they say about the influence of the stars and planets is a mushrik, and the one who reads them for entertainment is a sinner, because it is not permitted to entertain oneself by reading things that contain shirk, because Shaytaan will try to lead him to shirk through this. source-Prohibitions that are taken too lightly/Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
