Asalam O Alaikum,
I am Pakistani Sunni Muslim, 18 years of age and have been wearing hijab alhumdullilah with allah's grace for a year and a half now. i am very much proud of becoming closer to my religon with my own free will and now an event that has taken place is frustrating me very much. just yesterday i had visited a family friends house, where a young lady named rabia, who i know ever since i was born, was reading palms. at that point excitement was the only thing i could feel, and it did not even occur to me that it could be shirk. so i sat her down with myself after wards opening my palms and having her read them. it started off well, i could really connect to what she was saying, because whatever she had told me were my actual plans in life, but she went on telling me much disasters and then stopped because she realized i was heartbroken. i would say everything that she said as backup proof was correct, but what she told me has mentally disturbed me. im not being able to sleep, eat well, or even go to college normally. i wish i could just go back and never have had the palm read. my mother is telling me that fate and destiny is in ur desire, as well as god's approval upon ur desire. it doesnot lie in the lines of ur hands. no destiny is set to stone, god does not do that, for if he did, then what purpose would he have to send us to earth with the mission of living a deenful life. he has created us with the power of free will... i did research early this morning, and read that our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that those who have their future told, will for the next 40 days not have their salat (prayers) answered. in other words god wont accept them... but i didnt know it was shirk. so will god not listen or accept my prayers? i wish to write now here, what she told me, but the lady said the more pple i tell the more the chance their is that it would come true... :'(
have i committed a sin? is palm reading haraam? is it real? should i lose hope, or have faith in myself and allah... i love someone. and have intended to marry him. but according to her predictions, many changes will come in my life. i am emotionally very sensitive, i dont like change. and to hear all that, it breaks my heart to think if it will really happen. i have had an istikara done with my future partner a year ago, the maulana said that ur relationship will exceed the height of love and respect and understanding. that ur bond of love in ur relationship will be to the extreme. but now i have this future prediction of something else.. the answer to the istikara comes only from the unseen (Allah)... so what should i believe, how to i bring content to my heart, please keep me in your prayers, as i will pray for you too, im feeling extremely restless and ill aswell...
may allah give u all the happiness u truly desire
and reward u for helpling me in the right direction
