Are you superstitious about Friday, the 13th? Does this date fill you with fear? or is it simply another day on the calendar?
Let's take a look at these data to decide your say:
Muslims say that evil was introduced into the world when Adam ate an apple. And that's on Friday.
Jesus and his fellows made up of a group of 13 but he was betrayed by the 13th man on Friday.

For a long time I was scared of Friday the 13th but not in the traditional sense, when I was about 5 and i was with my older brother, he let me watch one of the old Friday the 13th movies, and it scared the s*** out of me, it was just so scary at five. So until I was like 12 or 13, i dreaded that day because back then, they would play a marathon of the movies on several channels, and I had to be careful to avoid those channels, but also because I will never forget the nightmare that I had shortly after when I was five or so, seeing a hockey mask hanging in the closet, being so scared (in the dream) and going in pulling on it, in my dream my heart was racing so fast, i was petrified, but it was nothing,....i settled back into bed,,,,,and then the mask moved and had a huge machete knife coming towards me...i screamed and woke up screaming hysterically, woke everyone up......like 17 or 18 years later, i still remember that nightmare, it was one of the scariest ones that i have ever had

I'm a Muslim. I'm not sure about that Adam ate it on a Friday
Whatever is that, there is no curse or any day, all days are good as other days.
Fortune telling, astrology, consulting such future tellers, curses of days, curses of time, first sight while traveling, first sight in morning, black cat crossing, etc etc etc. have no value in Islam.
So Friday 13th means, it is a Friday and 13th day of a month.
Peace.

It's simply another day to me. Sometimes I'm not even aware of the date until the day is over and then I realize that it was Friday the 13th. My thought after that? "Who cares?"
I don't believe God set some days up to be unlucky. And, I've lived through enough Friday the 13th's without anything bad happening (and other dates without the stigma where bad things did) to not place any undue importance because a day of the week falls on a certain point in the month.

some say friday's bad reputations goes all the way back to biblical history like the famous garden of eden, that event tempted adam with forbidden fruit, the great flood that begins on that day, temple of solomon was distroyed also the same day and of course the famous Jesus Chirst crucifixation on friday...for me? there's no significant at all, it's ordinary day for work...

It means nothing to me.I know that the number 13 is unlucky number,and if a friday unfotunatly met with 13th that would be the most bad luck in many western countries.But in China it really means nothing and nobody will care about it.In stead of the bad luck number 3,the number 4 is the one which we do loath for in most Asian countries especially in Chin.

For me, don't ever seen any black cat on Friday the 13th. It brings you bad luck.
