View Full Version : Days of Evil Omen
I thought of warning u,2morrow is one of these known days of evil oman(Ayam Nahsat as mention in Quran). I know there's some who dont believe in such thing,but it is mentioned in qura n (http://quran.muslim-web.com/sura.htm?aya=041016) :{So We sent upon them furious wind in days of evil omen (for them) that We might give them a taste of disgracing torment in this present worldly life, but surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing, and they will never be helped.}41:16
Other dayz also: 22nd Muharam,10th Safar,4th Rabee Al Awal, 28th Rabee Al Thani,28th Jumad Al Awal,12th Jumad Al Thani, 26th Rajeb,12th Shaban,24th Ramadhan,2nd Shawal,28th Dhi El Qeaada & 8th Dhi El Heja.

Even if it's mentioned in the Qura'an, it still appears as poppycock to me.
Should we wear necklace made of garlic or something to keep these evils away?
What can we do to protect ourselves on these days?

All days are good, if something evil happened in a day then it is not because of that specific day but beacuse it is meant to happen.

Um...Such listing of days is not present in the Qura'n at any point.
The verse you provided does not refer to a particular set of days, not to mention that Islam forbids pessimism of any kind in several verses of the Qura'n.

*does the "go-away-evil-spirits" dance*
This is the first time in my entire life of being a muslim, & being surrounded by muslims, have I ever heard of these "days of evil omen" (though I never knew that omens could be anything other than evil :)). I suggest you wake up tomorrow, pray as you should, pray abit more, ask Allah to be with you, & just go on with your day like you would any other day.
Islam is a religion of enlightenment & revelation, not of ignorance & petty superstitions. Get your facts straight.
Okay, the verses are there, where does it say that its THOSE specific days?
Or is it another scholar's hobalalalolo?
I'm no Quran scholar but I'm a good reader of texts.
To my inexperienced eye, it looks like those verses are just saying:
"There will be some bad times that I will send as a punishment to people to remind them of the punishment in the hereafter, compared to which they are mild. Since these days are 'significant' and point beyond themselves to the ultimate punishment, I call them 'days of evil omen'."
But I could be wrong. I don't think "evil omen" can be a sorcery kind of term, can it? And I don't see any reason why it has to be...
But I guess those who have a really good dictionary of classical Arabic can look that word up and see what the various definitions are.
Is there such a thing as a concordance of the Quran and/or of Classical Arabic?
This is typical of the silly superstitions that get added on to the essence of the Faith.
The verse explains how in past times, as with the city of Thalmud, people were sent a warning in this life through natural events, to give them a taste as to what would follow in the next world if they continued in their arrogant ways. This is a lesson for all, no doubt.
But does it say in the Qur'An that these worldly warnings will be sent to everyone, and on all of those specific dates (where the hell do they come from?), and forever?
No! It doesn't! This is a silly, superstitious fabrication....bid3a!!!
Did u guys read tafseer of this aya?!

Myths among the common folk about superstitions (http://islamqa.com/en/ref/97221/omen%20day)
It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Tiyarah (superstitious belief in omens) is shirk.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1614), Abu Dawood (3910), Ibn Majaah (3538); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The word tiyarah is derived from the word tatayyur, which refers to superstition about something that is seen or heard; or it was said that it refers to superstition about anything ,whether it is something that is seen or heard, or a time or place. This is more comprehensive as it includes things that are not seen or heard, such as superstition about certain times.
The basic meaning of tatayyur is pessimism but reference is made to birds (tayr) because most of the superstitions held by the Arabs have to do with birds, so it was connected to them. But the general definition is superstition based on something that is seen, heard or known.
The Arabs used to regard certain birds, times and persons as unlucky, and this is shirk as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said
Sorry if it sounds harsh, I didn't mean to be rude to you. But yes, I'm quite sure about it!
Dont be! It wasnt harsh,but as I said dnt say smthing u r nt sure abt! :)
yeah i remember things like these...when millennium came many ppl somewhere in this world were acting weird when they say it's the end of the world and some of them killed them self well alhamdoullah god gave us brains to think with :)
More over u can read tafseer of this aya (http://quran.muslim-web.com/sura.htm?aya=054019)
{إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرّ }
{ Verily, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a day of evil omen and continuous calamity. }54:19

Am sorry I can't read Arabic but I've searched in the English translation of the Tafsir Ibn Kathir and also in the Persian Tafsir but nothing of what you say is mentioned

Funny yet interesting.
I've never come across such 'dates' or 'days' before. The existence of a couple of verses in the Holy Quran on evil omens as you put it, should not imply that one must be pessimistic or careful on particular dates.
That's my say about it.
I think this is another perfect case of "it's all in the head". :)
