What dose islam say about psychics?

Question

People who do telepathy or something I forget what it's called. I was watching this show on TV about these psychics that find missing people. Dose islam have anything to say about this stuff? Is it evil or just something people are born with (like 6 sense?)

Answer 1

It is haram. there are scholars who say that the psychics, fortunetellers, seers, etc. have made a pact with the Jinn.



"Say: None in the Heavens and the Earth knows the Ghaib(Unseen) except Allah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected." (al-Naml 27-65)



Those who claim to have knowledge of the unseen future are all fortunetellers and it is proven that the Prophet(Pbuh) said: "Whoever goes to a fortuneteller and asks him about anything his prayer will not be answered from him for 40 days. and if he believes him then he is kaafir because if he believes that he has the knowledge of the unseen, then he has disbelieved in the words of Allah."



Al-Kattaabi said: The Prophet(Pbuh) explained that the reason why the fortuneteller sometimes get's it right is that the Jinn tells him something that he has heard by eavesdropping on the angels and he adds lies to that to embellish what he heard. So occasionally he gets it right but usually it is wrong. Fath al-Baari, 10.219,220



Also every Muslim has a personal Jinn that has knowledge about them from the day that they are born and this information is given to the psychics from the Jinn. This is why it is easier for a psychic can tell the past much easier than the future. But if a person is righteous he will not go to a psychic and a person who submits to the will of Allah and becomes Muslim their personal Jinn which has a weaker will than humans will have to become Muslim too.



Allah knows best.

Answer 2

Islam does not say anything about it, except that Islam does acknowledge that dreams can have certain interpretations. It's a known fact that there are people who have special God-given talents and mental abilities that others do not possess; however, much of what you see on TV are just tricks.





James Randi has exposed many such frauds. See:

Answer 3

Psychics to know the future is haram.



Finding missing people? Usually they seek help from Jins.

Although King Solomon had Jins to assist him, Islam discourage human to make friends/seek help from Jins as that could lead one to dependable on Jins as well as worship Jins. The fact in the Quran says that mankind (with their brains) is superior & way above all God's creations.



There are people born with 6 sense, they can see Jins(good/bad ones). No issue.

Answer 4

So if its a gift from god to have psychic abilities, How are you expected to put them to good use? I believe when one has any gift and skill above normal capacity then they have been handed the responsibility (by God) to put it to good use and serve humanity in some positive way. So how do you use psychic abilities, and for those who don't have these abilities.. to what level can they seek approved access to the benefits of such a gift that have been given to another?

Answer 5

I can't quite remember which king it was, but in Christianity a king went to go see a psychic to ask about his future, and God was mad. This was because he didn't trust in God's plan and was just trying to get ahead for personal gain. I think the whole moral of the story would apply to Islam though, about trusting God's will; seeing a psychic would mean you second-guess God's judgement.

Answer 6

Well, about predicting the future, there are 2 ways to it. One is that you go see the psychics, but another is predicting by cause and effect relationship. This one is like 'if you study hard, you will do well in exams', or 'if you dun control your thoughts, it will affect your actions', or 'Obama won the election, next there will be less war caused by america'.. The psychics is haram, but that cause and effect thing, its almost logical

Answer 7

I think you guys are mixing psychics with fortunetellers, some psychics are born with that power, does that make them kufar? No, but a fortunate teller uses spells and other ways to communicate with jin.

Answer 8

NONE of this is true!!!! I am psychic and my mom is too. We are all Muslim, and we have these talents because when Allah takes away one of your senses or makes your health bad, he gives you something instead. This is NOT jinn possessing anybody because we have dreams and visions that help our deen and are from Allah himself. The only reason people say its haram is because they confuse this with fortune telling, and are ignorant on the topic. We are VERRY religious and do not make pacts with jinn and shaytan. It is a gift given from Allah.

Answer 9

I know a hadeeth of prophet which means any fortune teller is a liar eventhough they are right. I think those psychics fall among fortune teller categories.

Answer 10

As far as I know, asking about your future is strictly haram in Islam. It's right up there with gambling and booze.

Answer 11

Allah might forgive each and every sin yet Shirk. determination given to the words of non Allah over the words of Allah is likewise seen shirk as this is straightforward in Muslims by utilising ignoring Quranic regulations over the Imamic regulations, to illustrate the punishment of Rajm, 3 divorces in a stroke etc. etc. a real Muslim is certain to pass to Jannah, yet i think of we are no longer between them.

Answer 12

I think that the psychic people have either developed some ability to communicate with the Jinns or they already have it since birth.
