"In Islam, all months are good and bring blessings, including the month of Safar."
Here's the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving the HTML tags: "Dream - In ancient times, in various segments of society, the month of Safar was often considered a month that brings misfortune. Various myths and ancestral stories depict this month as a time filled with disasters and bad luck. This view is not in accordance with Islamic teachings. In Islam, all months are good and bring blessings, including the month of Safar. There is no month that specifically brings misfortune or disaster."
"This belief is based on the principle that everything that happens, whether good or bad, is the will of Allah and not caused by a specific time or month."
"Islam teaches to always surrender and rely on Allah in every situation, and to avoid superstitions that have no basis in religion. Thus, we can go through each month with full faith and optimism, including the month of Safar. Here is the explanation regarding why the month of Safar is considered to bring misfortune, as summarized by Dream through various sources."
"Safar means 'quiet' or 'silent', which is adapted to the conditions of Arab society in ancient times that appeared quiet in that month."
"In this case, the meaning of 'empty' is that their houses are vacant because people are away to go to war and travel. As explained in the opinion of Ibn Kathir: "Travel is named as such because their houses are empty of them when they go out for war and travel." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, [Darut Thayyibah, 1999], vol IV, page 146)"
"On the other hand, according to Ibn Manzur, there are several reasons why it is named Safar. The emptiness of the houses of the Arabs as explained by Ibn Kathir. The habit of the Arabs to harvest all their crops, then empty their lands of plants in the month of Safar. In the month of Safar, the Arabs usually fight every tribe that comes. As a result, those tribes leave without any provisions. This is because they left out of fear of being attacked by the Arabs."
The month of Safar is mythologized as a bearer of misfortune due to various cultural and historical reasons that developed before and after the arrival of Islam. Here are some factors that contributed to the emergence of this myth:
"Before the Islamic era, many Arab tribes left their homes to go to war or trade during the month of Safar, which often caused cities and villages to become empty. This condition led to uncertainty and vulnerability, which was then regarded as a sign of misfortune."
"Many people have superstitions that have developed over time. They often associate bad events with certain times, including the month of Safar. This belief may also be influenced by the surrounding culture and the animistic beliefs that existed before Islam."
"As time goes by, misunderstandings about Islamic teachings and a lack of knowledge about the basic principles of the religion can lead people to believe in baseless myths and superstitions."
Stories that are told orally from generation to generation often contain elements of myths and superstitions. These tales may contribute to a negative view of the month of Safar.
"However, it is important to note that in Islamic teachings, there is no basis for believing that the month of Safar or any other month brings misfortune. Islam teaches that everything happens by the will of Allah, and Muslims are encouraged to avoid superstitions and fully trust in Allah's decree. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself firmly rejected the belief in misfortune associated with specific times or months, emphasizing that only Allah determines the fate of humanity."
