Some people, caught up in trends such as the New Age movement, spread
lies to the effect that they possess spiritual powers or the gift of prophecy.
Fortune-telling or the Taro cards are other ways of deceiving people. The fact
is, however, that nobody can obtain knowledge of hidden things through his
own efforts or trying to contact the spirit world. Allah only imparts such
knowledge of His servants He so chooses, and to the extent of His choosing.
