How does superstition take root in the human mind

Superstition is a kind of illusion of the human mind. Where a person see the world according to his own thinking and not as it is the reality. It psychologically creates things in a person that are not even remotely related to reality. A person either learns these things from his society, or they sit in his mind from the gossip of the people around him or ease he makes such things sit in his mind by his own thinking.

Now let us look at all these aspects separately and try to understand superstition from them. Some things become a part of beliefs in the society without any reason, but there is no reality behind them and they are passed on form generation to generation.


You may have heard in most of your your society that if a black cat crosses your path, your work remains incomplete. If a wise person hears such a thing, he will also know that there is no truth behind it, but even after so much time, people still believe in it.

After hearing some things from people, a person starts accepting them as truth. Most of the people say these things in order to create or the greatness of something. It is like a person talking about his ancestors which is not related to the reality and his aim is only to create his honor in the heart of the person in from of him.

 Not anyone gets caught up in the words of such people, but as far as possible, a person gets influenced by the words of such people and persuades himself to do the work, the loss of which a person has to bear.


What harms a person more than these two things are the illusions created by the human mind. Most of the people learn such things from the society, but then they confuse their minds so much on these things that they lead to problems in human life. 

As a human being uses his mind and draws conclusion from his previous events, he start to consider one of the many numbers in the count as his lucky number and tries to change his life in future situations. But the keeps his mind fixed and keep himself away from certain factors that improve his life.

Superstitions has to do with the way a person's mind see things affecting their life instead of changing them they believe that thing will work out that way. In today's era, as much as science has developed and by creating enough awareness among people about superstitions, it has helped a lot in showing people the truth of life by removing  them from unreasonable beliefs.

Superstitions makes a person believe in things that have nothing to do with reality, and by believing it, a person leads his life in the wrong direction and then this direction creates new difficulties for a person. 

Due to this, a person spends his whole life in such fear which does not exist at all. When a person hears something like this, he should not close his eyes and believe it, but find out whether such a thing is true or just such people have made it their own and made it a part of their life. Human should only believe in what Allah has revealed in his Holy book and fear only what Allah has forbidden.
