| Respected Brother/Sister in Islam Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakatuhu Please find calendar for Safar 1427 attached. Believing the month of Safar is inauspicious, and particularly to believe that its first thirteen days are 'bad luck' or that it is harmful to marry or propose to marry or undertake a journey, etc., during these days are beliefs contrary to the teachings of Islam. In the pre-Islamic era people considered the month of Safar to be evil and ominous. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) strongly rejected such beliefs and ideas. The truth is, no time, day, month or date is evil in itself , but the deeds of people are either good or bad. The time spent in the performance of good deeds will be auspicious, and the time spent in sin and the disobedience of Allah Ta'ala will be evil and ominous. The month of Safar is not ominous. Evil deeds and incorrect beliefs are ominous and should be given up and repented for. It is incorrect to postpone or delay marriage or its proposal or a journey, etc. because of such beliefs. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, 'Belief in ill-omen is Shirk (polytheistic), (he said this thrice), and the owl's ominousness is nothing.' The Mushrikeen (polytheists) of Arabia used to believe that a house near which an owl screeches will be ruined, hence, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) refuted this belief as false. Thereafter, he said, 'There is nothing ominous about the month of Safar'. (Bukhari Vol.1 pg.857) The polytheists believed the month of Safar up to the 13th day to be inauspicious, hence, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) rejected this superstition. It is therefore wrong for Muslims, who are the followers of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), to adopt the ways of the disbelievers and to entertain the very beliefs which he had come to abolish. May Allah grant all Muslims the ability to accept and practice upon all the beautiful teachings of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Aameen.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
