THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 24th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Wednesday 15th February. 2023). MARRIAGE COMPATIBILITY CHECKS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND A MAJOR SIN. BismilLah.
Is a sad reality that two Muslims today will abandon ALLAH and HIS Messenger to visit soothsayers or evil agents to find out if they are compatible for marriage or not astaghfirullah. So you trust these evil people more than ALLAH and His Messenger?
I'm asking this because name compatibility checks are done to determine whether the two people will have a good future together or not. But this is very contrary to what ALLAH tells us in Surah Luqman: “Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with HIM (alone). It is HE Who sends down rain, and HE Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn tomorrow?: Nor does anyone know in what land he is to die?. Verily with ALLAH is full knowledge and HE is acquainted (with all things).” ALLAH basically says only HE knows what happens tomorrow so why do you ignore that and go for a marriage compatibility check?
Islam teaches us that we pray directly to ALLAH and we rely upon only on HIM, knowing that HE alone knows the ‘Ghayb’, the Unseen and the future is unseen and unknown. Fortune tellers and the like have no place in Islam and anyone who claims to know the future is either Insane or communicating with jinn (there is a whole story behind this). Numerology, Name Compatibility checks and fortune telling are absolutely haraam.
There are so many hadiths on this Matter. Imam Nawawi placed an entire chapter called “The Prohibition of Going to Soothsayers, Astrologers and Diviners, and of Seeking Omens.”
One hadith in that chapter is as follows, which clearly indicates the immense gravity and seriousness of the sin:
“If one goes to a soothsayer, asks about something, and believes it, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.” [Muslim]. Meaning you pray but without earning rewards for the prayers for 40 days SubhaaAllah. Imagine dying in such a state. Hmmmmm. Please seek forgiveness if you are one of those who did that or seeking to do that. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences Aameen.
