Of Ghosts, Ghouls and the Thursday Night Myth


Thank Allah its FRIDAY (TAIF)!!!!!! Hehe.. Not like it mattered to me coz IM NOT SCHOOLING or WORKING.. heeheeheee... But it sure MATTERS to me coz FRIDAY is VICTORY DAY (hoorah!!) Let's get back to topic shall we?..
Incredible Tales was aired yesterday. On thursday night. Typical ain't it? A GHOST STORY ON THURSDAY NIGHT. It seems tat ghosts onli comes out on thursday night or malam jumaat*. MOST TYPICAL true ghost stories will begin on thursday night. Y thursday night? I wonder too... hmmm...(sumbody please enlighten me)
Anyways, when i was a very young girl, i thought friday prayers was done to protect ourselves from evil spirits.. ASTAGHFIRULLAH.. i mean Friday is the DAY OF VICTORY...
I mean as a young girl, i was so influenced by this scary shenanigans that i will scare myself silly whenver thursday night comes.
I do believe in the unseen. Allah is the Unseen. He has created beings that we cannot see, like Jinns and Malaikat. The onli time wen we can see them is when they shape shift.If we can see them i reckon that u have no place to move coz it'll be soo crowded.
We should not fear them because they are the created and NOT the CREATOR. Our fear is 1 and Only, Allah.
Plus, i really feel that we should BANISH these thoughts that THURSDAY Night is the time when ghosts will start doing funny things to us. Instead let us spend the THURSDAY night as a night to remember Allah (like we should be 24/7) for the greatness he has provided for us.
So seek onli for Allah's protection. So if any ghosts disturb u u know u have a really dependable Protector. Read Ur Al-Fatihah, ur 3 Quls ( Qul hu Allah hu Ahad, Qul a'u dzh birobilFalaq, Qul a'u dzu bi rob binnas) and ur Ayatul Qursi. And stick to our Imaan/ InsyaAllah.
Ya Allah please show us ur guidance and light. Ameen
*literally translated as Friday Night. Following the Islamic Lunar Calendar, the new date begins at sunset. So a thursday night in Gregorian terms is Friday night in Islamic term. So a Monday Night in Gregorian term is a tuesday night in Islamic term. (i got this info from http://www.iask.com.sg/)
