Aslamoalaikum Everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
With the help of Allah (SWT) and all who pray for me and for my success in this world and the next, I have separated myself from the Shirk of Astrology. Ever since the age of 12, I had been curious about stars and planets and even to this day, the creation of Allah (SWT) in terms of everything out there in the universe which is so vast and unimaginable to the human mind. I like to give some context to the question I am asking as well as giving everyone here some insight into my perception and thought of why Astrology became so powerful to my naive mind and destruction of my ordinary life.
What started out as a mere study soon developed into a full-time hobby. I was and still am always attracted both psychologically and emotionally to the subconscious, supernatural, future, the personality of different kinds of people and mankind in general. The devil, however, had others plans in my mind. Not only was he successful in creating a believable foundation to detract me from the truth of monotheism and that all knowledge of the seen and unseen is with Allah alone, but I soon started to listen to various astrologers on a daily basis and its knowledge became second nature in my life.
Being Intervertive and socialising very little if at all I became enveloped by this fake truth and soon started convincing others of the truthfulness of its nature and how it's not just about predicting the future but about different houses and energies that change on a daily basis. Long story short Allah (SWT) with all-encompassing power and wisdom directed me towards seeking knowledge through the proper understanding of the Quran and Hadiths and Scholarly opinion on this matter that It has taken me a few years to properly actualise the fact that It was, is and will always be a Major Shirk which takes one out of the fold of Islam and condemns him/herself eternally to the hellfire and life of misery and defeat in this world.
So only a few days ago my heart has been properly convinced in stopping all form of exposure to the knowledge of this magic and devilish worship practiced by all those who are misguided especially the non-muslims. I cried all night for days on end to ask Allah for forgiveness, truth and belief of the reality of the All-knowing who is, has and will always be in charge of my life and lives of all of his creation. I cry because of all those wasted years spent in this wasteful belief and whether my good deeds including my prayers were of any benefit. I am extremely hurt and feel embarrassed, stupid and alone after stopping this sin.
I tried to cram what I can above in a short and concise way. There was a lot I could have added but I am sure you got my point. My question was whether I should go to every individual person one by one asking their forgiveness for misguiding them from the right path unknowingly or is seeking forgiveness from Allah alone enough obviously promising never to return back to it again. Will I ever be able to attain Jannah-ul-firdous and meet my beloved Prophet (SAW) and his companions and family? I feel guilty, ashamed, hurt and hopeless by my actions.imsad I am an honest and simple human being who wants Allah's love and practice his life according to the teaching and guidance of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). I do not want my good deeds and imaan to go to waste. I just want resolve and comfort knowing I can improve from now and continue to excel in doing good deeds and reaching the state of Ihsaan.
