In this episode, I am joined by the youngest guest ever on the show, MuhammadAli, to talk about understanding astrology and the zodiac signs. As a 16-year-old student, MuhammadAli loves to research astrology and is well versed in the various zodiac signs and what they mean.
We dig deep into how astrology ties into spirituality, especially in Islam. What do zodiac signs mean? Are they reliable and accurate? If so, what does Islam say about astrology? And, can Muslims rely on this information?
Tune in to listen to the discussion as we try to find answers to these questions.
