an unfortunate day for me. Therefore, I will suffer a loss today. This way, their daily life routine gets completely destroyed. (Bad Shuguni, pp. 18-24)    

Dear Islamic brothers! Keep these harmful effects of bad omen in your mind. Whenever you face a risk of falling prey to bad omen, then think about these harmful effects and try to develop a mindset in such a way that it is an act of sin to fall prey to bad omen and it is harmful to me in this world and the Hereafter. When we will develop such mindset, then (اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ) we will abandon this ill habit. Another way of refraining from bad omen is that one shall ponder upon its causes and also try to cure it. Let’s listen to some causes of bad omen and its cures, and make an intention to act upon them.

6 Causes of bad omen and its cure

   ۔1The first cause of bad omen is the unawareness of the Islamic beliefs. The cure for this is that a person should believe in taqdeer (destiny) that every goodness and calamity has been destined for him by Allah Almighty through His everlasting Divine knowledge. Allah Almighty inscribed through His knowledge what was going to happen and what anyone was going to do. Then, no element of bad omen will remain in the heart because whenever a person will face any loss, he would have the mindset developed that it was destined for me. It did not happen due to the inauspiciousness or curse of anything.

   ۔2The second reason for bad omen is the lack of reliance on Allah Almighty. The cure for it is that whenever you fall prey to any kind of bad omen, have absolute trust on Allah Almighty. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the thought of bad omen will disperse away from your heart.

   ۔3The third cause of bad omen is to refrain from performing a certain task due to the bad omen. Its cure is that whenever you fall prey to bad omen in the matter of any task then end up doing it. Moreover, remove the thought from your heart that you will suffer a loss in this task due to this bad omen etc.
