Abstract:
From the beginning, human beings have been thinking of finding a way to measure different criteria of time such as day, month, etc. The divisions of time depend in part, on the rituals associated with the natural evolution of human life. The Kurds, like other ethnic groups, had special beliefs and criteria in accordance with their nature and living conditions to determine the length of the day and regulate their daily life. They predicted the weather with the help of experience or instinct. They believed that what can be seen in Persian literature about the characteristics of the days of the week is more accurate and prevalent among the Kurds. This research aims to descriptively - analytically examine the beliefs of the people of Ilam about the names of the years, some rituals and occasions of the annual calendar, days of the week, hours of the day, chronological tools, etc.
Machine summary:
From those ancient times, the sun, the moon, and even the successive arrival of seasons, like other natural phenomena, had a mysterious attraction for mankind, and this matter caused the creation of beliefs among people and its transmission from generation to generation.
/ Twenty-third Period, Number 74 and 75; Spring and Summer 1401 Days of the Week Among the people of Ilam, there is a belief that even-numbered days are inauspicious; however, the degree of their inauspiciousness varies; for example, the level of inauspiciousness of Monday is twice that of Wednesday, because Wednesday is the best day to start work and achieve results sooner; but generally, on even-numbered days, good affairs such as marriage proposals, wedding contracts, henna ceremonies, and weddings do not take place, and these activities are carried out on odd-numbered days, namely Sunday, Tuesday, and especially Thursday.
"Based on words attributed to Hazrat Ali (AS), the days of the week should be dedicated to these tasks: Saturday, hunting in the desert; Sunday, construction and building; Monday, traveling; Tuesday, cupping and bloodletting; Wednesday, taking medicine and syrup; Thursday, relieving oneself, and Friday, marriage and weddings" (Motahhedin, 1381: 366).
Meteorology in the Beliefs of the People of Ilam - People believe that in autumn, winter, and spring, if the clouds in the sky are red and orange at sunset, the coming days; meaning for at least one week, will be clear and sunny.
