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.
