✋ Complete Guide to Palmistry (Hand Reading)
Palmistry, also known as Chiromancy, is the ancient art of interpreting a person’s personality, fate, and potential by analyzing the shape, lines, and features of their hands. It has been practiced in India, China, Egypt, Greece, and other cultures for thousands of years.

📜 1. Basics of Palmistry
🔹 What Is Palmistry?
Palmistry is the study of the palm to understand a person’s inner nature, life path, relationships, and even health patterns. The key areas include:
Lines (heart, head, life, fate)

Mounts (areas under each finger)

Finger length and shape

Hand shape and skin texture

🔹 Which Hand to Read?
In palmistry, both hands are important, but each has its own significance:
Hand
Meaning
Non-dominant hand (usually left)
Represents your natural potential, inherited traits, and past.
Dominant hand (usually right)
Represents your current life, choices, and future path.

🔁 Compare both hands to see how you’ve evolved or changed.

🕊️ 8. Spiritual Reflection (Islamic Consideration)
While palmistry can offer insight into personality and tendencies, as Muslims we must remember:
“And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him.”
(Qur’an – Surah Al-An’am 6:59)
Palmistry is a tool of observation, not prophecy. Only Allah knows the future, our final destiny, and the unseen. Use palmistry only as a reflection of self, not as a source of prediction or absolute truth.

✅ Conclusion
Palmistry can be a powerful way to:
Reflect on your inner traits

Understand your emotional and mental patterns

See the connection between your nature and your choices

But ultimately, the hand shows only a map — you still steer the journey.
