Wa `alaykkum salaam wa rahmatullaah
May Allaah have mercy on you, and elevate your status in this dunya and aakhira. Aameen
Sister you must know, and may Allaah increase you in knowledge, that it is obligatory on every muslim to pray every salaah no matter what the situation is. Even if you are in an operation then you will have to pray (by making it up after the operation). Even if your limbs are permanently paralysed, then you still have to pray (by either sitting if you are able to, and if your not able to, then you will have to pray lying on your side). So whatever the case, you will have to pray your Prayers. This is importance of salaah, and there was an agreement among the sahaabah that leaving out Salaah is Kufr, and may Allaah keep us away from Kufr
Also I would like to point out something about belief in omens/superstitions/luck etc, that this is Minor Shirk.
Allaah Subhaanah says: "Verily, their evil omens are with Allah but most of them know not."[Soorah al-A`raaf, Verse:131]
Allaah says in [Soorah Yaa Seen, Verse:19]: "They (Messengers) said: "Your evil omens be with you! (Do you call it "evil omen") because you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people Musrifoon (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allah).
Meaning when something bad happens people say this is because of such and such
And Allaah refutes this statement: "And if some good reaches them, they say, "This is from Allah,'' but if some evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you.'' Say: "All things are from Allah,'' so what is wrong with these people that they fail to understand any word" [Soorah An Nisaa', Verse: 78]
Narrated Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "(There is) no 'Adwa (contagion of disease without Allah's Permission), nor is At-Tiyarah (any bad omen), nor is there any Hamah (the omen of the night bird i.e., owl), nor is there (any bad omen in the month of) Safar."
In Muslim's Sahih the following words are added: "... and no Naw' (constellation) and no Ghul (ghost etc.)"
It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) in a Marfu` Hadith: "At-Tiyarah is Shirk, At-Tiyarah is Shirk. There is none among us who does not feel something in his heart about At-Tiyarah. But Allah, due to deep trust in Him, removes it." [This Hadith was reported by At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud.] and it is stated that its last part is the statement of Ibn Mas'ud. Ahmad reported from Ibn 'Amr the following Hadith: "Whoever is turned back by At-Tiyarah (bad omens) has committed Shirk" They asked, "What makes the atonement for such a sin?" The Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) answered, "To say: 'O Lord, there is no good except the
good which You bestow. There is no evil except the evil which You decree. And there is no true God except You.' " [This narration was classified as Saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaanee rahimahullaah]
Imam Ahmad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Muhammad bin Ja'far narrated from Auf, from Haiyan bin Al- `Ala', from Qatan bin Qabisah, from his father that he heard the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) say: "Verily, Al-'lyafah (letting birds fly to foretell events) and At-Tarq (drawing lines on earth to predict events) and At-Tiyarah (taking sight on some object as a bad omen) are Al-Jibt (sorceries/magic)." `Auf (May Allah be pleased with him) said, "Al- 'lyafah is letting a bird's flight foretell events while At-Tarq is drawing line on earth." Hasan al Basri (May Allah be pleased with him) said, "Al- Jibt is the scream of Satan (devil)." The above Hadith has been narrated through good chain of narrators and collected by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban.
Also Ibn Muflih, Ash Shawkaani and others said that its chain is Hasan
Thus it is befitting for a believer that he puts his trust in Allaah, and that he firmly believes all good and bad come from Allaah.
