Answer:
Shaking eyelids good or bad luck
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 57 Surah
Hadid verses 22-23:
22 No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded
in a Decree before We bring it into existence: that is truly easy for Allah.
23 In order that ye may not despair over matters that pass you by, nor
exult over favors bestowed upon you.
For Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiyaa verse 35:
35 Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by
evil and by good (only) by way of trial: to Us must ye return.
Dear and beloved brother in Islam, know and believe with
total and absolute conviction, that nothing, absolutely nothing in this
Universe, good or bad, happens without the precise Will and Permission of the
Lord Most High, Most Majestic. Every
good or evil condition one experiences in the life of this world is no more
than a test and a trial from their Lord; to see who amongst man exults in pride
and becomes boastful and arrogant when the Lord bestows them with a favor; and
who amongst man despairs and loses hope in the Mercy of their Lord when
afflicted by a calamity.
Allah says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 67 Surah
Al Mulk verse 2:
He (Allah) created death and life that He may
test you, to see which of you is the best in deeds.
Dear and beloved the shaking of one’s eyelids, or the
twitching of one’s ears, or the itching of one’s hands or legs, or the position
of the stars, or the lines of one’s palms, or anything else that happens or
does not happen in the Universe does not in any way determine or provide any
information regarding the good or the bad which is going to befall one! These are mere superstitions which the
ignorant have invented themselves, and superstitions have absolutely no
relation or place in the Realms of Reality and Truth as guided and declared by
Islam!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah Yunus
verses 106-107:
And do not call besides Allah, any being that
can neither do you any good nor any harm; for if you will do so, you shall be
one of the doers of wrong. If Allah
afflicts you with a calamity, there is none to remove it, but He Himself. Likewise, if Allah Wills to bestow a favor on
you, there is none to withhold Allah’s Bounty. He bestows His bounty on anyone of His
servants He wills. And He is The
Forgiving, The Merciful.
Sahih Muslim Hadith
133 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) said: “Don't you know what
your Lord said? Your Lord
observed: ‘I (Allah) have never endowed My bondsmen with a
favor, but a section amongst them disbelieved
it, and said: ‘stars, it was due to the stars!’”
If one believes that one is due any good or evil just
because of the shaking of one’s eye-lids, or due to the position of the stars
or the heavenly bodies, or due to the lines in one’s palm, or anything that
happens or does not happen in the Universe….their this false determination
would be tantamount to disbelief in the Power and Majesty and Decree of their
Lord Creator, Most High, Most Supreme!
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other
than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led
astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
