What is it all about?

My friend A, gave birth to a baby 2 days back. When I was talking to my friend B this morning, gave her the news and told her that I will visit A this evening, she strictly told me not to sit in her bed as I’m pregnant. I just didn’t like the idea and I told her that I don’t believe in such myths/superstition.

She said, I just told you what I knew… what you do is your choice.

I visited friend A today & I really didn’t care about it. I sat on the same bed too & alhamdulillah everything is ok.


Now just for general discussion, how many of you believe in such superstitions.. do you think its right to think that way???

Re: What is it all about?

I don’t see any logic in this but then there is none in any or at least most of these superstitions. One need to have a firm belief in Allah and then these superstitions will hold no value :).

Re: What is it all about?

what is the myth/superstition associated with sitting in the bed?

What is it all about?

Never heard of any such thing…

…and nor do I believe in any of these superstitions..sab bakwas hai :chai:

Re: What is it all about?

My cousin’s bhabi became pregnant several months ago. The pregnant bhabi attended an even at a relative’s home with her saas. At this home, there was a woman who had miscarried…and she came into contact with pregnant bhabi. The bhabi miscarried at later point and her saas had said how she experienced this strange feeling when bhabi had met the woman who had miscarried earlier…because supposedly there’s some superstition regarding that. It’s just one of many of a string of superstitions and illogical thinking that I’ve heard.

Re: What is it all about?

These things are soooo weird…I fail to understand them

Re: What is it all about?

these are all Hindu traditions and superstitions. you did the right thing, Queenie. we must NOT even entertain such nonsensical statements. it’s a sin to consider someone an evil or bad omen. it’s totally against the spirit of Islam.

may Allah protect us all from such superstitions which are sin if acted upon.

Re: What is it all about?

Yeah. Illogical but logon k kiya kehne. Indeed i think its all bakwas…but even if for a moment i think about it, i dont get how a normally delivered healthy baby’s mom can effect anyone. Its quite pathetic to think that way… cmon…

Re: What is it all about?

healthy or unhealthy baby, it’s irrelevant…it’s bakwaas at best!

Re: What is it all about?

O my god. Please tell me you are joking and you actually did not sit on her bed. Please tell me that you are kidding, Please..

shivering in fear

Re: What is it all about?

i think i know what happens when you sit on the bed ..

Mark my words: your kid will turn into a hyper active acrobat fully capable of turning you nuts !

yeah I am blaming that lady whose bed i sat on :sahar02:

Re: What is it all about?

hahahaha…ladies, here is the living proof of that! hail CB!!! :slight_smile:

Re: What is it all about?

Friend B went through a healthy pregnancy and had a healthy baby Alhumdullilah, if anything friend A should have encouraged you to sit on B’s bed. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: What is it all about?

what a reverse thinking! looks like it was left in the reverse gear purposefully! :hmmm:

Re: What is it all about?

Well if one is expected to follow some superstition, then the least they can do is try to follow it logically. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: What is it all about?

you got a point there…it must at least sound right…eh? :slight_smile:

Re: What is it all about?

Weird. Two of my friends were pregnant at the same time as I miscarried. They came to see me, sat with me etc and have healthy babies mA. Just superstition. What is meant to happen will happen.

Re: What is it all about?

Yeah thanks all and LOL at TLK :hehe: still laughing.

I don’t really believe in such stupidities too and just wanted to know what you guys think about it… :hehe:

Re: What is it all about?

I was told to stay away from “iron” (any instrument/knife/scissors) on a day in pregnancy because it was a solar eclipse that day. I was even strictly told to not to step out of the house warna baby ki body pe koi nishaan aa jayega :cb:

Interestingly, My son had this huge pink subcutaneous scar on his head that we found out when we shaved the head :halo: and people there got better in their belief of going out in eclipse.

All superstitions and alaamat of jahaalat :chai:
