Re: Tarot card readings

I've never done them but I also don't really think it's a good idea.
I got my palm read when I was a teen (around 17) while on a trip to Italy just for fun with friends and it had been pretty accurate. I know it's not good to do all this and I regret it now.

I feel like at times, it keeps making you second guess everything.. I don't know if that makes any sense, but like some things that the palm reader said that I didn't want to happen - I would try to do the opposite of the outcome.. so it just plays with your mind. She did predict some things accurately like when I would get married and my career choice. But I wouldn't recommend it despite all.

Re: Tarot card readings

I heard in a lecture that we're not supposed to believe in superstitions. A superstition is basically where you assign a reading/interpretation/prediction to an event or image. So bad luck is assigned to the crossing of a black cat, breaking of a mirror, boiling over of milk, etc. A tarot reading is the same thing; you assign a meaning/interpretation/prediction to an image. And I've heard if we start believing it, then Allah may make the interpretation come true....so as a result you become dependent on the readings and you go astray. If tarot readings and their professional readers have that much power or validity, then why do they not run the world? Why do they not stop atrocities from happening in our world? They have no power, they are a creation, not the creator. The readers have no more control of their own fates than they have of yours. And if you feel that your life is not at a place you're happy with, make dua, it's the only thing that can change destiny. If you want to interpret dreams, that's fine as some dreams are said to be from Allah. But tarot cards, horoscopes, palmistry....no.

Re: Tarot card readings

I had amateur tarot readings done ages ago, along with runes. I really don't remember what the result was. Also had my palm read too. Don't even remember what was said. :o

Though tarot is fun. What the card is pictured with and what it's meaning is is completely different, which is just so cool.

Re: Tarot card readings

I had a parrot pick a card for me ( I wouldn't have if the whole thing wasn't so darn cute and I didn't want to photograph it. I'm firmly anti-card/palm reading for religious reasons)

The card told me to pray and keep faith in Allah... lmao

Re: Tarot card readings

Re post that states - if tarot merchants were so powerful why don't they stop atrocites? Same could be asked of whichever god one believes in.

As for tarot cards, you definitely don't want to be carded - especially red.

Re: Tarot card readings

The above higlight is in regards to how that divine power is used. By putting forth such a question or challenge......you are STILL admitting that God has power....whereas tarot cards don't. God has given us intellect and ability to stop evil and He has his Wisdom behind what happens. But a bunch of palm-sized, papers that one shuffles and which can be easily destroyed....which did not create this world...which do not control or maintain anything....what power do they have? What power do the readers have, who don't have complete control of their own destinies? Did they create the moon, the sun, the Earth, do they control the alteration of day and night? Nope. There's something far out there that's much bigger than these paper cards and their shufflers....why not aim high, Southie? Why set your expectations so low?

Your argument that God does not use His power to prevent atrocities does not equate to Him having an absence or lack of power and control.....nor does it equate to tarot cards and their readers having power. You have used a weak analogy and the reason you did so is perhaps because you felt that I was stopping the OP from exercising her freedom to believe in tarot cards...that it was an injustice of sorts? Haina? I do discourage the practice. Perhaps it is more acceptable within your religion/culture but it's prohibited in Islam. Despite this, Op is not being imposed upon and is still free to read the cards and stars and everything in between. There are people who examine two ideas and will lean towards the one that contains more weight, logic/sense, and benefit. And then there are those who will defend every idea, even the weak ones; they're all over the place. It seems that open-mindedness is synonymous with political correctness...and has more to do with diplomacy and avoidance than actual use of intellect and observation.

Re: Tarot card readings

yeah you're supposed to say away from fortune-tellers/tarots/horoscopes and all that. unfortunately, my family in pakistan believes heavily in them and I had my palm read a while back by one of them...the stuff he said was scary and I regret doing it, because it's always in the back of my mind. How I was going to get divorced, treated badly by my husband, find it really hard to do well in my career. aH so far nothing has come true but it starts to come up sometimes when I'm in certain situations. Never doing anything like that again.

Also, I'd like to say that when I went, the guy reading my hand couldn't even correctly identify me from my sister so...take that as you will.

Re: Tarot card readings

Baat aap kahan se kahan le aayi.

By bringing god into the equation, I was not acknowledging his powers. I was simply stating whatever u stated with respect to the tarot merchant can be stated wrt god also.

Now going with ur stance that god does have the power to stop wars - that is more worrisome. Why doesn't he or she do so then?

As for tarot cards I think it is all hocus pocus. I would rather put that money in a value stock.

Re: Tarot card readings

Baat ko aap samjhay nahin. I have not veered far from your question. In fact, I answered it. It is only that you don't like the answer. Yes, Southie, you can pose the argument that the same can be said of God, but it's a weak argument. Allah and tarot cards ain't on the same playing field. Heck even the deities that you believe in and the powers or divinity that you believe them to have are not on the same playing field as a bunch of paper cards. Even you believe God has power, tarot cards do not and are hocus pocus. So, out of the two choices...a choice between that which has power and that which doesn't....you should then lean toward God then as opposed to arguing with those that are encouraging OP to turn to God....nahi? Now in regards to how God uses that power ...and why He does this...or doesn't do that....is another issue altogether and a complex one. It is easier for us to blame God than accept accountability for our wrong actions which have a domino effect on others' lives. But out of the two options....one of which you've deemed as hocus pocus and devoid of merit...it would then make more sense for you (and even the OP) to put more "stock" in the option that has more potential...or in this case power.

Re: Tarot card readings

Got it. Agreed. No issues with your logic. Tarot is garbage. And God is about faith. So yes. I would agree with leaning towards the potential of God.

Re: Tarot card readings

You're meddling with spirit worship. All kind of tarot card reading and fortune telling and seance is all linked to spirits/jinn worship. It's real if done by the right people. You maybe able to get your answer, but is it allowed in our religion? No. God absolutely forbids it. The reason why is that you cannot trust the spirits. They most definitely don't have your best interest at heart. They will probably try to lure you in to something even more sinister. It's like a shady loan shark deal. Once you attach yourself with stuff like that you open up yourself to spirits and all kind of evil nonsense. It's best to avoid places like that. You have to keep your psyche strong and away from negative influence.

Magic is just another science. It's a taboo but it's out there and people have been doing it ever since we got on this planet. If you do it you put your self against Allah. The choice is yours.

Re: Tarot card readings

Yes, so I wouldn't do anything like that.

Re: Tarot card readings

Ice Baby - Are you Muslim? If so, are you aware that in Islam going to a fortune teller, tarrot cards, palm reading etc. all are strictly forbidden and considered haram. It is considered shirk and therefore unforgiveable. I suggest you repent and hopefully since Allah is merciful he may decide to forgive you.

If you're not Muslim, forget everything I just said. :)
