This research demonstrates the significant role of superstitions for individuals and collectives for shaping the behaviors, beliefs and evaluating causes in the light of Islamic teachings. It is fact that superstitions are irrational beliefs, practices rooted far, cultural traditions, ignorance and lead people to associate convinced actions or substances with good or bad luck without any logical or spiritual doctrine. Although several reflect superstitions harmless, they can misrepresent human perception, incumber rational thinking, and even lead to follows that contradict Quran and Sunnah ruling (Hukm). The study also critically analyzes dimensions of root causes of superstitions like educational, psychological and sociocultural aspects. Religious teachings conclusively address such illogical beliefs, accenting the significance of Tawheed, confidence on divine will, and the pursuit of knowledge. Through textual analysis of Qur’anic verses and authentic Hadiths, the study establishes that Islamic teachings depress all forms of superstitions and practical steps to purify individual and collective belief systems. The research concludes that superstitions persevere even in Muslim societies due to weak religious awareness and the frequency of syncretical traditions however this can overcome through educational reforms, culture focused strategies, public-based awareness programs and religious leadership contributions to fabric superstitious practices in societies.
