New Born Babies are picked up from a river as they are carefully placed in floating wooden box. (The story of prophet Musa (as))
I initially believed that till age 5 or 6 but had my suspicions, till finally one day I heard my aunt answering to her kids, the question, " How do we know between different animals whether they lay egg or give birth?
The answer was, generally animals with visible ears give birth, and those with no visible ears lay eggs.
I immdiately thought about humans and did not ask her about that. I thought it would be awkward and embarrassing.
But quietly I had gotten my answer.

As my grand mother used to say, don't travel or start any business on Tuesday. Mangal thanda din hunda ai!
The sneezing version is by far the most prevalent.
The roots of it are in Sufism I believe. I've actually read a Sufi booklet where this is mentioned, although I forget the name of the booklet. It was one of those sold at roadside bookstores for peanuts.
The soul, it said, even in people not spiritually advanced, is still aware enough of the connection it has with other souls. So when some other soul thinks of it, it can trigger a response like a sneeze. Or a reciprocal thinking of that other soul. It's uncanny how, when one is thinking of someone, the phone rings or the doorbell rings, and it is that person.
Wallahu Alam, as MalikMohsin would say
Thread of the week! Have heard about eighty percent of the superstitions mentioned here.
*Sweeping with a Jhaarru around at the time of Maghrib Salaat is a bad omen.
*One shouldn´t look into the mirrors once it´s dark outside. The ghosts feel being invited
*Making a baby look into the mirror causes diarrhea.
Thank God our family isn´t quite interested in all these superstitions.
Thanks!

Yes so as I was saying,
my father's side of the family seems to have a lot of these random superstitions, another of them being that don't eat a white colored desert when you visit someone's house, it will have bad omens in it which you will consume.
Also remember one being don't shake your legs when sitting on a chair or stool, when I asked why I just got a cold stare, so I don't even know at this point.
Oh and, put away your toys which have faces at night, because you know, they'll come to life.
Will post more when I remember the rest lol.

I have a cat. Now that makes me feel uncomfortable.
If you find an eyelash fallen on your cheek/face, hold it up, make a wish and blow away the eye lash. Your wish will come true
There ain't no JINNS in me AVATARRRR!
Rather interesting. I am still not sure whether she's a Jinn or a cat. It's going to take time till I figure that one out. Meanwhile, I might just buy budgies and sell my cat now that you freaked me out.

[MENTION=140316]IslamabadUnited[/MENTION] is selling one. Go for it.
[MENTION=22846]Nostalgic[/MENTION] - I want to personally thank you for making me feel scared every time I see my cat.
Get a cat and dunk it in Beefeaters.....
Oh sorry, it is Jinn and not Ginn, hehe
Because when Jinni falls in love with males, at least they don't hurt them
