whole man ,and may eventually demolish the

human structure.”(ILAMA IQBAL)

SUPERSTITIONS

WHAT ARE SUPERSTITIONS?  “Fear of what is unknown and

mysterious.”

Belief that some events bring good or bad luck.

"beliefs, or half-beliefs that lead to ignorance, fear, or belief in magic."

TWO TYPES OF SUPERSTITIONS:

1. Good superstitions:

Eyelash Horseshoe Itching in hand

Lose an eyelash: Make a wish.

HORSESHOE:Horseshoe over the door bring good luck

and happiness.

Itching in hand: Putting money in new clothes and

itching in hand bring money.

2:BAD SUPERSTITIONS:

Black cat Mirror No.13

BLACK CAT: Black cats crossing your path brings

worst things to you.

MIRROR: Breaking of mirrors cause 7 years of bad

luck.

NUMBER 13: Stay on that day to avoid any

misfortune and bad luck.

SOME OTHER SUPERSTITIONS: A rabbit's foot brings good luck If you walk under a ladder, you will have

bad luck You can break a bad luck spell by

turning seven times in a clockwise circle Garlic protects from evil spirits and

vampires Our fate is written in the stars Heads for good luck tails for bad. Crow crows then guests came.ETC……

ISLAMIC VIEWS: Major cause is lack of faith in ALLAH. Belief in superstitions is considered to

be a grave act of shirk, or ascribing partners to Allah, which is the one and only sin that Allah Almighty will not forgive.

All things that happen to us, good and bad, come at a time appointed by Allah as a means to test who is the best in faith.

black magic is forbidden, the antidote of it is allowed even though the latter carries the possibility of misuse

CONCLUSION:

There is no such thing as…superstition.

Superstitions have no applications in today's life. So we, should not follow the superstitions that were passed on to us by our ancestors.
