About the Month of Safar:- "Safar" is the 2nd month in the Islamic Calender. However, no specific mode of worship or other special rules are set by the Shari'ah to observe this month. This time of the year was considered to be cursed as many catastrophes and calamities took place. However, this belief has been proven to be false and totally without foundation. The following hadeeth can confirm: - Hadhrat Jabir has said that, "I have heard Rasulullah saying, the descending of illness and evil superstition befalling in the month of Safar is untrue."
