    Arrow A MUST READ--> Everyday Examples of Shirk

    Everyday Examples of Shirk
    For Western converts, there are many hidden examples of shirk which have become a part of everyday life over the past centuries:

    Astrology and Horoscopes
    The art of telling the future by means of comparing the relative positions of a number of star constellations and other celestial bodies in conjunction with the time of year that a person was born. As I mentioned before, only Allah knows what is in the future, and it is therefore impossible to gain an inkling of future events by studying the stars. This is a form of Shirk by Deification in two ways: believing in astrology gives mankind the ability to see into the future, and gives created objects the ability to give good or bad fortune, both attributes which belong to Allah alone.

    Secondly...

    Fortune-Telling
    Attempting to tell the future by any means (such as reading palms, looking into a crystal ball, etc) are forms of Shirk for the same reasons given above. Muhammad (SAW) took this matter very seriously and warned his followers against this on a number of occasions. It is clear that both performing fortune-telling yourself or visiting a fortuneteller are haram and must be avoided.

    Fourthly...

    The Number 13
    The belief that the number thirteen is an unlucky number is a common example of shirk, especially in the US where it is not uncommon for tall buildings not to have a thirteenth floor. This is shirk because it is assigning the ability to bring bad fortune to a mere object.

    Fifthly...

    Lucky or Unlucky Creatures
    It has been a common custom for certain animals to be associated with good or bad luck for many centuries in many parts of the world. For example, black cats have been considered unlucky because of their supposed association with witches. Here in the UK, magpies are also customarily thought to bring bad luck - if seen, one is supposed to either greet it or spit at it in order to avert any misfortune. Likewise, rabbits feet and horseshoes are thought to bring good luck. All of these examples are shirk because the ability to bring good or bad luck is being assigned to Allah's creation.

    Believe it or not. In my residential area is not easy to find house number 13.
    In many streets in this area houses number are 7, 9, 11, 11A, 15.

    Jazaakalahu khayr for sharing sis Al-Mu'minaat


    And If you were to ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" They will surely reply: "Allâh." How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?

    MashaAllah good post!


    "Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah.

    And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him.

    And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him.

    And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness."

    -Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyya

    Doing Ibadath for show-off purposes also comes under shirk, as you are taking the people with Allah.
