Maelezo ya Majibu

According to Islamic belief, a Muslim man who hits his leg against a stone and turns back because he thinks he is unlucky would not believe in magic, witchcraft, or superstition. Instead, he would believe in Allah. In Islam, everything that happens is believed to be the will of Allah, and Muslims are taught to have faith in Allah's plan and trust that everything happens for a reason. Believing in magic, witchcraft, or superstition goes against the principles of Islamic faith, which is based on monotheism and the belief in one all-powerful and all-knowing God. So, if a Muslim man believes that hitting his leg against a stone and turning back is a sign of bad luck, it would not be because he believes in superstition, but rather because he believes that this event was ultimately caused by Allah's will.
