Out of boredom, and also to see if me and that girl from my childhood were compatible (and in the past,other girls), I dabbled in numerology.
Here's how it works.....each number is assigned a mystical meaning, and numbers are assigned to your birthday and name....
ill give you an example....i got excited because both me and one girl have the same birthday....(march 3, 1999)....that makes the birthday 3/3/1999 3+3=6, and 9+9+9+1=28 2+8=10, cross out the 0, you get a 1, 6+1=7.....so our personality is based on the number 7....
and for names, the letters are assigned a digit, like a=1, b=2, etc. you add them together in each name and simplify the digits, and add the 2 or digits together and find a number after simplifying, and find the number that corresponds to your personality......part of the reason I believed in this was because my father seems to believe somewhat in astrology, but only at the surface, like, if you were born on march 3 you have a certain personality, etc. but not to predict the future, as he considers that shirk.....he claims he did not get along with my mother and had to divorce her because of personality differences due to her being a capricorn and him being a scorpio....i also asked some other muslims i know in the turkish community, and they said, "if the astrology is based on the quran, then it is okay..." i presume they said this because they were sufis....
i know this is probably shirk, but how bad is it? and how do I avoid this?
