Madani pearls of the Bayan

Dear Islamic brothers! Today, I will be privileged to mention Madani pearls in relation to a bad omen. Bad omen is such epidemic which is spread all over the world. Firstly, I will present an account before you and the Madani pearls attained from it. Thereafter, I will also attain the privilege of mentioning the types of omens, Ayahs of the glorious Quran, blessed Ahadees, and the blessed fatwa [verdict] of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه regarding it before you. After this, I will also mention a few examples of bad omen, its harmful effects, and cure for it. At the end of the Bayan, I will also present Madani pearls in relation to clothing.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Deriving bad omen from different things among non-Muslims is an old custom. Their superstitious people accept the effect of everything. For example, a person leaves his house for something and an animal crosses him on the way or a certain bird’s chirping is heard by him, then he instantly returns home. Similarly, it was famous among them to consider the arrival of someone, some days and months to be a bad omen. Similar kinds of ideologies are also prevalent in our society. Islam does not permit us to have any kind of such bad omens. Moreover, as Islam has abolished various other useless customs, similarly, it has also abolished this evil custom too. (Siraat-ul-Jinan, vol. 3, pp. 412) Let’s listen to two blessed sayings of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم regarding bad omen:

   *The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: When you feel jealous, then do not cross the limit; when evil-presumption is built inside you, then do not believe it; and when a bad omen develops inside you, then end up performing that particular action and rely upon Allah Almighty. (Al-Kamil, Fi Zu’afa Ar-Rijaal,, vol. 5, pp. 509)

   *Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Three things will definitely remain in my Ummah: Bad omen, jealousy and evil-presumption.
