Knowledge of the future

· 23 Shawwal 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Tell me about my future.

Answer

The knowledge of the future is only known to Allah Ta'ala. No person independently has any power or ability to come to know the knowledge of the future. The Hadith strictly prohibits one from going to a fortune teller and asking him to inform oneself regarding one's future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
