What are "divining arrows" in Qur'an 5:3 and Qur'an 5:90?
The Qur'an contains the following:
... and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows** ... -- Qur'an 5:3
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. -- Qur'an 5:90
I'm curious as to precisely what "divining arrows" is referring to.
Question: What are "divining arrows" in Qur'an 5:3 and Qur'an 5:90?
Google suggests it's some kind of magic, fortune telling, or witchcraft. This post gives an example of someone throwing arrows into the air, and where they land resulting in a decision being made.
But I'm still not sure what this "divining arrows" is about.
