Myths
Myth : 365 Balls of Flour.
Fact: It is a Myth , Making 365 balls of flour and throwing them into the water will drive away ill-omens and bad luck.
Explanation: This unusual practice is another example of how people try to ward off perceived misfortunes. However, Islam teaches that such actions are baseless and that true reliance should be on Allah alone.
Myth: Diseases spread more during the month of Safar.
Fact: Sickness is not related to Safar. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that diseases do not spread by their own will but by Allah's decree. While preventive measures like avoiding contact with sick individuals are encouraged, attributing the spread of diseases specifically to the month of Safar is unfounded.
Myth: Traveling During Safar Brings Bad Luck.
Fact: It is a Myth , that It is unsafe to travel during the month of Safar as it brings bad luck. This belief is unfounded and has no basis in Islamic teachings. The Quran and Hadith do not support any such notion, and traveling can be done in any month of the year
Myth: Separation of Newly Married Couples.
Fact: It is a Myth that Newly married couples should be separated for the first thirteen days of Safar to avoid bad luck.
This myth suggests that couples will suffer misfortune if they see each other during this period. There is no basis for this belief in Islam, and it contradicts the teachings of togetherness and support in marriage
Myth: First 13 Days of Safar Are Particularly Unlucky.
Fact: It is a Myth that The first thirteen days of Safar, especially the 13th, are considered particularly inauspicious and evil.
This superstition is baseless. Islam teaches that all days and months are equal, and no specific period carries inherent bad luck. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not endorse any such belief
