Is The Month Of Safar Unlucky Free Download Islamic Book In English Pdf
Islam is a religion of truth and veracity. It
has illuminated the whole world with the radiance of monotheism and
Prophethood and has ended all kinds of fallacious and polytheistic
customs and rituals.
One
among the fallacious beliefs of the days of ignorance (the pre-Islamic)
days was that people believed that the month of Safar (the 2nd month in
the Islamic calendar) was unlucky. They
actually believed that because of the coming of this month, they would
be entangled in difficulties and their finances and livelihoods would be
affected as well. They held the belief that because of this month, they would get diseases and that nothing new should be started in this month.
With the coming of Islam, all these fallacious beliefs were uprooted. Through
the eternal bounty of faith, it gave the message that difficulties and
trials are not related to any month or year, but that they are tests by
Allah Most High for His pious servants and for the erring ones, they are
the result of their own deeds. Allah Most High says in the Holy Quran:
In the days of ignorance, people would take omens from the flight of birds. If the bird flew to the right, then it was taken as a good omen. If
the bird flew straight up or straight down, it was taken as a sign that
that particular task would be accomplished but would be delayed. If the bird flew to the left, they would take it as an ill omen that that task could never be accomplished. If they saw an “‘Uqaab,” they would take it as an ill omen as the name of this particular bird means punishment. If they saw a crow they would take it as an omen for difficulties in journey. If they saw a hoopoe, they would take it as an omen of guidance.
