I'm a revert and in America often we say things like crossing my fingers or knock on wood. When using these expressions if one says crossing my fingers and really just means \\\"I hope so\\\" or says knock on wood and really just means \\\"I hope the inverse of what I said doesn't happen\\\" if there is no actual belief of the superstition and one is really just saying that as an expression, is that in any way considered shirk? I figured it wouldn't be because I would think it would just be about the intention and if you're in no way attributing the qualities of Allah to another being or otherwise, that it wouldn't matter, but shirk is such a serious thing that I wouldn't want to do something like that on accident without seriously and sincerely repenting if needed.\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"No, what you have described is not shirk at all.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da0580b76658b4c2334b2","tag":"Knowledge: Aqeedah","count":38}],"createdOn":"2024-12-30T00:34:48.845Z"}
