What is hard work and effort? What really matters is luck! Effort, knowledge, art, science and physical power mean nothing! Luck is what gets things done and not brain power. If you\u2019re lucky, then there\u2019s nothing competency or expertise can do for you. But whatever bad happens, it is on a cursed day. Damn these days\u2026<\/p>

Now if we asked the people who said these words, \u201cCould you please define \u201cluck\u201d? Perhaps you can explain what luck is or you might have felt it in your life.\u201d They are not likely to have an answer.<\/p>

Hassan Ibn Mas\u2019ud narrates, \u201cI came to visit my master Ab al-Hassan al-Hadi\u00a0(PBUH). In that day I had experienced a number of difficult incidents; my finger was wounded and I had an accident with a horse rider that caused a severe injury to my shoulder; in addition I had an unexpected argument which had caused my clothing to tear. So when I saw Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH), I told him in sorrow, \u2018What a cursed day! May Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0protect me from the distress of this day!\u2019 Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0said, \u2018O Hassan! What are you saying? You are with us and yet you put the fault of your own sins on other things!\u201d<\/p>

Hassan Ibn Mas\u2019ud says, \u201cI came to myself once I heard Imam\u2019s words and realized my mistake. I replied, \u2018My master! I said wrongly and I repent to Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u2019. Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0continued, \u2018O Hassan!\u00a0What has \u2018days\u2019 done wrong<\/strong>, so that whenever you are being punished for\u00a0what you sinned<\/strong>, they get the blame of your wrong doing.\u2019 Hassan Ibn Mas\u2019ud continues, \u201cO Son of the great Prophet! I will repent forever and shall never associate the reflection of my deeds to days and time\u2026\u201d[1]<\/a><\/p>

As we can observe in this narration from Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH), one of the causes of difficult incidents in life is\u00a0our own inappropriate actions<\/strong>. In this narration the Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0emphasizes on the fact that considering some days as a cursed time (i.e. being out of luck) will not only help anyone at all, but also Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0will reproach that person for, why she\/he is placing the fault on an innocent element of this universe.<\/p>

Further, there is a difference between one who believes in \u201c\u2026that man can have nothing but what he strives for\u2026<\/strong>\u201d[2]<\/a>\u00a0and the one who does not believe in effort and hard work. How different are these two group of people: one who believes \u201c\u2026surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change their own condition\u2026<\/strong>\u201d[3]<\/a>\u00a0and one who believes in luck.<\/p>
