Sis the book is not bad luck, he thinks the book is bad luc. Getting rid of the book because he believe "it is a bad luck" will be confirming his belief in luck.

I think this is shirk i.e associating partners with Allah.

thanks for restating that for me, i guess i read it wrong. iwas thinking he should get rid of the book to avoid holdin the beleif or having children reading such books. but yes getting rid of the book because u beelive is bad luck..is shirk

jazakallah khair for clarifyin that br

Sis, I think you got me wrong again. believing in luck can be seen as shirk(EDIT: I should of said "holding on to such believe is a form of shirk") or it just might be a passing thought, acting upon it is commiting a shirk.

Here is something similiar.

Regarding Bad Omen,

Question:
Some people regard it as a good or bad omen when they hear a sound in one of their ears, or if their eyelid twitches, and so on. Is there any basis for this?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no basis for this. The Muslim has to put his trust in Allaah. Regarding things as bad omens is a kind of tiyarah (belief in evil omens), which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) declared to be false and stated that it is a form of shirk. If a person notices any such thing (ringing in the ears, etc.), he should ignore it and go ahead with his plans, and not hesitate. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Tiyarah is that which makes you go ahead or refrain.” The Muslim should also recite the following du’aa’: “Allaahumma la ya’ti bi’l-hasanaat illa anta wa laa yadfa’ al-sayi’aat illa anta, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa bika (O Allaah, none can bring good things except You, and none can ward off evil things except You, and there is no power and no strength except with You).” As for seeing something and interpreting it in an optimistic manner, this is good, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to like optimism. Optimism means thinking well of Allaah.

Here is another one: "Regarding the number 13 as unlucky"

i am hoping someone can help me inshallah
i have 2 questions

1) does black magic exist?
my friend believes she has had black magic 'done' to her. she says she has periods of time where she cannot control her emotions and she laughs and crys hysterically for hours. during the nigth especially she says strange things happen to her and she cannot recall them all the time.

2) is superstition haram?
i once heard that if ones left eye twitches it means bad luck and misfortune. since then i have constantly assumed this whenever my left eye twitches. recently it has been twitching regularly for the last 3 days. and last nigth i had a dream that my best and only friend was hurt and i could not make him better. does this mean anything?

jazakallah

Try checking these insha'Allaah:

1. Black magic does exist. The remedy for it can be found here

http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?re...=black%20magic

2. The dream may or may not mean something. I highly doubt your left eye twitching has any significance.

While black magic does exist, people who are constantly thinking about it and becoming fearful of it may think due to some coincidental event that they have been afflicted with it. My advice is that people who are righteous and constantly doing what they are suppose to do with regard to religion have nothing to fear.

thank you for your replies how do i see those links? and how do i log on to the forum without wanting to post something?

do dreams have any islam meaning?

I'm not sure what you mean about the forum sorry, but here's a good link on dreams insha'Allaah:

If you think this is happening then recite the 3 Quls on your friends and family every night

in fact there has been scientific methods developed by many people from different religions to differentiate between sickness and witchcraft/magic
