Scenario: After several predictions appear accurate, a person treats every hidden claim of a soothsayer as certain and every religious claim as authoritative.
وَلَا نُصَدِّقُ كَاهِنًا وَلَا عَرَّافًا
We do not affirm the claims of soothsayers or diviners.
Governing principle: Confirming soothsayers and diviners is prohibited in the stated creed; occasional apparent accuracy does not establish reliable unseen knowledge or religious authority.
Sound application: Evaluate religious claims against established revelation and valid legal principles, not a few apparently successful predictions.
Limit of the conclusion: Authentic prophetic reports about the unseen must not be conflated with divination; revelation has a distinct authority.
