Thirdly

Augury – One of the Claims of the Magicians

Necromancy

This kind of magical deed is well known by the specialists in this field.

The necromancer claims that he can tell people about matters that are hidden from human knowledge, whereas the fact is that he only tells people what his masters among the devils dictate to him.

God says: “Thus We have assigned for every prophet an enemy: the devils of humankind and jinn-kind, who inspire one another with vain and varnished falsehoods as an allure…”: that is, they do this to allure each other. That is necessary so as to draw out the wickedness that is settled in their spirits. With that, they become enemies of what is right, and this enmity is like treatment for them.

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 6, Al-An’am (Livestock), verse 112

They claim that they know about what is hidden from human knowledge, although nobody knows about it except Al’lah. God says: “Say: ‘none in the heavens or the earth has knowledge of what is hidden except Al’lah. Nor can they ever perceive when they will be raised up to life’.”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 27, An-Naml (The Ants), verse 65

Anyone who pretends anything that is in conflict with the open Holy Qur’an – such as making claims to have this ability to foretell the future – is nothing but a fabricator of falsehood against Al’lah, unless they are a prophet, or they take their knowledge from the prophets.

God says: “He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. Nor does He reveals His mysteries to any except to a messenger whom He has chosen…”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 72, Al-Jinn (The Jinn), verse 26-27

So, are those necromancers messengers?

Or did the messenger (cpth) ever deal with necromancy?

On the contrary, the messenger declared the truth openly “Say: ‘I have not the power to acquire benefits or to avert evil from myself, except by the will of Al’lah. Had I possessed knowledge of what is hidden, I would have availed myself of much that is good and no harm would have touched me...”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 7, Al-A’raf (The Heights), verse 188

The following is a story that shows the falsity of this necromancy. Its events took place in the life of the scholar Mohammed Amin Sheikho.
