Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

These verses prove that the calf was speaking and this caused the nation of
Musa (peace be upon him) to worship the calf.
THE EXISTENCE OF SOOTHSAYERS (KAAHIN)
The soothsayers were those who were informed by Iblis and the Jinn of what
was being said and planned in the heavens. The soothsayers would then
inform people who would then know things in advance, such as, if someone
were to die or if there was to be rain. In this way, the soothsayers were given
a high status.
052.029 Therefore warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou
art neither soothsayer nor madman.
069.042 Nor diviner's (soothsayer) speech - little is it that ye remember!
These verses prove the existence of soothsayers. Verse 052:029 talks of
when the polythesists of Makkah thought that Muhamamd (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) was a madman or a soothsayer, but Allah Most
Kind revealed the above verse to confirm he was neither: he is the
Messenger of Allah
Soothsayers are “friends” with Iblis
The soothsayers were very well respected. Once they heard from Iblis and
from the bad jinn as to what was being discussed in the heavens, they would
inform the people. Sometimes what they ‘predicted’ would become a reality,
and it was due to this that people became mislead. As Allah Almighty says
in the Qur’an:
026.221 Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend ?
026.222 They descend on every sinful, false one.
026.223 They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.
In these verses Allah talks of the ‘liars’ which were the Kaahin, the
soothsayers.
