Abdul Baha who is of the Baha’i leaders has proved palmistry while no historical text has confirmed it, but it has been strongly rejected: “… but the issue of palmistry science. All things and beings resemble the great body members of the existence world. The total is related to total. It means that each being of the beings is a member of the members or each part is a part of the great body. So, we can discover the facts of other parts due to relationship. For instance, the human body. That is, assume the world as human body in which all parts and members and pillars are related to each other. Some are totally related to some others. For example: eye and skin colors. The temperature and the final illnesses can be recognized by them. The other is pulse by which the side effects of other members can be distinguished. Praise be to God. What a great relationship. Consequently, it can’t be considered as strange for the current and future facts to be discovered the lines of the palm.[1]”
The Answer:
Abdul Baha has confirmed palmistry while no divine leader has confirmed and proved it. Palmistry and the like have been rejected by the divine religions. The commander of the faithful Ali (P.H.) has said in Nahjul Bahaqeh: “Do you think that you can show an hour when you can banish calamity? A person who believes in this word has rejected the holy Quran. O’ people, avoid learning astronomy and astrology and don’t learn them except for knowing ways, time of worship, appointing Kiblah and the ship courses. The consequence of learning astronomy is divination and diviners are Jewish priests and Jewish priests resemble magicians and the magicians resemble unbelievers and unbelievers are in fire. Travel by the name of Allah.[2]”
Who is to interpret the lines of palm?! By saying this word, Abdul Baha has evened the way for the cheats,
In Abdul Baha’s statement it is said that: “It isn’t unlikely…”. Using these kinds of repressions isn’t used by the divine leaders who are related to the unlimited divine science[3].
