Can you imagine claiming that the stars and planets have such domineering power that they can steer people's lives and destinies? That they are the determining factor of good or bad luck? This form of polytheism, experienced by those to whom Abraham (peace be upon him), was sent, insinuates ascribing partners to Allah in worship. It also presumes a relationship between stars, planets and events that take place on Earth by which, the future can be predicted. It claims knowledge of the unseen based on speculations and conjectures when such knowledge is unique to Allah Alone.
As Muslims, we know that the stars and planets cannot be used as indicators of happiness or misery, life or death. Allah says in the Quran:

"He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries, - (Quran 72:26)

"He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries, - (Quran 72:26)

"Except an apostle whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him,

We can imagine a very great treasure, which has to be transmitted. To guard it against evillydisposed persons, a strong escort is required, to march in front and behind, so as to protect it from all sides. When it reaches its destination, the escort presents its credentials and an Invoice showing the Treasure being transmitted. Then the destined receiver knows that it has come intact and feels satisfied. So about spiritual Revelation. The Prophet recognizes the credentials and checks the contents on the tablets of his own heart and insight. He has then no doubt that it is a true Message from Allah, and that those who bring it are the true messengers "of their Lord".

Muslims are not allowed to learn or teach polytheistic astrology because the Prophet (peace be upon him), regarded it as a branch of magic, which is prohibited by Islamic law. Allah gives a clear revelation about this in the Quran 2:102.

Polytheistic astrology has dramatically spread in recent years, and it has become a means of distorting people's belief in Allah. Private institutes have been founded, books, magazines and newspapers are published, under various titles such as What's in the Stars for
You? Constellations and many others in order to advertise such a seductive commodity that often appeals to the uneducated public.
A true Muslim should stay away from this type of astrology because if he does not, it is likely to exclude him completely from the fold of Islam.

On the other hand, there is the scientific study of stars for determining and fixing time division such as months and seasons. This is called astronomy, and it is lawful because it is based on fixed calculations, which can among others help determine directions for the right navigation. Regarding religious aspect it also helps to decide the times of prescribed prayers, and other religious duties that should be observed at certain times.
Allah has informed us of His intended purpose for the stars:

And marks and sign-posts; and by the stars (men) guide themselves. (Quran 16:16)

Let us not forget that the Muslim scientists whom we are proud of because they developed distance measurement, navigation, based their knowledge on astronomy. Practically, thanks to their scientific activity, astrology and astronomy became separate, and the latter became the science exploring the universe. It has lost its significance which constellation brings good luck and which is bad omen.
Distant stars are sending a quite different message today. They can affect the fate and fortune of humanity, but in a completely different way. Is there life outside the earth? Is there a suitable habitat for human life on another planet?
Nor can we ignore the direct impact of the planets completely on human life, but this must be seen differently today. If the moon is able to attract the water of the earth’s oceans and thus cause floods and low tides, then how would it not be able to cause changes in the human body, 60% of which is water? This is also an issue that affects fate and life, but it is far from subjects like fortune in lottery.

If astrology is considered a polytheistic formation based on conjecture and the end result is a fictional tale, and on the other branch astronomy is a concrete science based on fix calculation, and the end result is a map in which we are so small that we are lost, there is a third area. And this includes phenomena that affect human destiny on an astronomical and non-astrological basis. Yes, planets can have a direct impact on us if an asteroid hit the earth, if there are solar flares or we are just exposed to harmful radiation from the outer space and the reasons for that are us humans because we have damaged the ozone layer that protects the earth. This area is calculable, not based on speculation, but the end result can be a “tale” where the end of humanity is included and is present in the Scriptures. This is no longer the Unseen that has been excluded from man, but the part of Unseen that Allah (SWT) has allowed us to see in order to discover His truth in it.
