The stars, planets and movements of celestial bodies have attracted human interest for centuries. In Muslim history, studying the night sky played an important role in navigation, timekeeping, calendars and determining the direction of prayer. At the same time, people have also explored astrology, which attempts to connect the positions of stars and planets with human personality, relationships and future events. Although the two subjects may appear similar, Muslim astrology and Islamic astronomy are not the same thing. Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and the universe, while astrology involves interpreting celestial positions as signs of personal destiny or future events.
