The Impact of Superstition on Religious Beliefs and Educational Strategies to Deal with It from the Viewpoint of the Holy Quran and Hadiths

Superstitions are one of the most harmful factors that have affected various areas of human life, especially religious beliefs, since long ago. The present study tries to answer this question by using library sources and in a descriptive-analytical way, what is the effect of superstition on people's religious beliefs and how can its damage be prevented with educational strategies.In various verses, the Holy Quran invites people to think and deliberate, but superstitions call people to shut down their intellect and replace superstitions with facts, and from this point of view, it causes serious damage to the intellectual and thought structure of a person and causes the weakening of belief foundations. Narrations from the innocents (PBUH) in denying heresies and fighting hypocrisy show the importance of the issue of superstition and preventing its spread in the society. Therefore, to deal with it, the power of reasoning and thinking should be strengthened and ignorance and blind imitation should be avoided.
