Is The Rumour That Safar Is An Inauspicious And Troublesome Month Correct? Is There An Act Of Worship Or Dua Special To This Month?

Is the rumour that Safar is an inauspicious and troublesome month correct? Is there an act of worship or dua special to this month?

The month of Safar is the second month following the month of Muharram in lunar/hijri calendar. The understanding that the month of Safar is an inauspicious one and many calamities and troubles happen in this month belongs to the Age of Ignorance (Abu Dawud, Tibb, 24) and it has no place in Islam. Therefore it is a superstitious understanding. This month has no difference from other months. Prophet Muhammad (saw) rejected such an understanding and said, “There is nothing inauspicious with the month of Safar.” (Bukhari, Tibb, 19).

Also there is no dua or worship special to the month of Safar. Daily worships that are performed and the duas that are made by Prophet Muhammad (saw) are also done in this month.
