f:698 - Is Wednesday unlucky	Country : UK, Name : Hameeduddin

Question: It is thought that Wednesday is unlucky and nothing big should be done on this day. How far is this correct? ............................................................................
Answer: Considering any day or anything as unlucky is an un-Islamic belief. This is true that one day is better than others and one period of time is better than others, but considering other days/months, etc. as devoid of blessings and as unlucky is not correct at all. As far as Wednesday is concerned, its excellence is mentioned in the rigorously-authenticated Hadith (Sahih Hadith). There is a Hadith in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him): Translation: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: ………..and Allah Most High created radiance on Wednesday. (Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2, Pg No. 371) This Hadith shows that Wednesday is that blessed day in which Allah Most High created radiance (Noor). Thus, this belief that no important work should be done on this day is wrong. Doing anything important on this day will, by the will of Allah Most High, be blessed. And Allah Most High knows best.
