These could be traced back to the prehistoric era and have originated from and exist in almost all cultures. For Muslims, some of the superstitious beliefs have also crept in through interacting with and living in with other people of different religions and customs, for example branding someone a lucky/unlucky person, interpreting moon/sun eclipse or movement of stars (horoscope) and crossing the way by an animal.
However, some ‘signs’ must be respected and are indeed occurring by the Command of Allah -azwj , and for dealing with those, some supplications are recommended, i.e., the Salāt of the eclipse, Yawning is from Iblis -la and Sneeze is from Allah -azwj (see Appendix I). In this short article, some Ahadith of Masomeen -asws related to ‘Signs’ and events are presented in order to distinguish what should be ignored and what should recited/carried out as recommended by Masomeen -asws .
The Signs of Allah -azwj (taken as Omen): People have been interpreting the ‘Signs’ of Allah -azwj (Sun/Moon eclipse) or events (usually undesirable ones, i.e., earthquake) as a sign of bad luck, or relating some other events to ‘good omen’ or an outcome as a result of their own efforts or luck.
