Question:
The questioner asks: What is the relevance of the chapter on astrology following the chapter on what was reported regarding taking omens?
Answer:
Because both are contrary to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) or the perfection of tawhid. Taking an omen and believing in the evil of created things, being pessimistic about them, this is a belief that something other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) causes what is disliked and brings about evils. Likewise, belief in the stars is entirely in conflict with tawhid. Yes.
