Prophet’s ﷺ view on Safar superstitions
The article discusses Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) stance regarding the month of Safar. Before Islam, Arabs believed that Safar was a month associated with bad omens and misfortune, and it was known as "Sadness" or "Void." However, it is now referred to as "the month of good fortune" after being previously viewed as a month lacking blessings and fertility. The article explains that the Prophet abolished the superstitions linked to this month, emphasizing that all months are opportunities for worship and obedience, and that there is no connection between pessimism and Safar or any other months. This is based on his noble sayings, which reject the belief that this month is a time of increased evil or trials (fitnah). The article also notes that Arabs originally gave the month various names before settling on its current designation, with reasons rooted in beliefs such as it being a time for gathering food, a period when Mecca was empty of its inhabitants, or because it follows the month of Muharram and comes after a hot season. It highlights that the Prophet opposed erroneous beliefs and superstitions associated with Safar, and that Islam advocates for good thoughts, discouraging reliance on superstition in both religious and worldly affairs.
