Superstitions and Bad Omens
‘Asr, or from ‘Asr until Maghrib, on any non-working day of the week. A lot of Islamic knowledge is provided in these short ‘itikāf sittings.
Dear Islamic brothers, staying in a masjid with the intention of ‘itikāf is a great act of worship. Try your best to participate in this activity and gain its blessings. You will attain the reward of ‘itikāf and an abundance of knowledge alongside it.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers, believing in superstitions is an illness which robs you of peace and squanders your intellectual abilities. Those who are victim to this appear to not consider any person, place, time, sign, date, day, night or month etc. to be a source of goodness. They consider everything to be a bad omen for no reason and open the doors of difficulties upon themselves.
Examples of superstitions and false bad omens
Here are some examples of baseless bad omens and superstitions:
* Believing it to be an ill omen to simply see someone who is completely blind, blind in one eye or disabled. Some also consider it bad luck to hear the sound of a specific bird or animal.
* Believing a specific time, day or month to be a bad omen.
* Intending to perform a task but then refraining from doing so upon hearing someone criticise your methodology or telling you not to do it altogether.
* Hearing the sound of an ambulance or fire brigade.
* Reading horoscopes in newspapers and allowing it to negatively affect your life.
