I'll define superstition as "a belief that cannot be proved or disproved and defies the natural laws as we know them". I know little about Islam but am trying to educate myself. My perception right now is that Islam has the least amount of superstition (among monotheisms) that one is required to believe to be considered a believer. I'm more familiar with christianity, where superstition is everywhere, starting with God becoming human, the resurrection of Jesus, the numerous miracles, the existence of angels, heaven and hell, the eucharist (where you have to believe that bread literally becomes the flesh of Jesus), etc. I won't outright say that Islam is more "rational" as that would miss the point, since God's existence cannot ever be proven, but it seems to me that a lot of the "natural order" is accepted as God's beautiful design, and there isn't much superstition that's overlaid on top of it. So I'm turning to this community to ask: what part of the islamic faith is superstition? I've heard of Djinns, and I've also learned that Muhammad received the Quran straight from the angel Jibril. Is there more to it?
Thanks for your answers, I believe I'm not going against any rules of this subreddit!
