Tuah
Tuah merujuk kepada fenomena dan kepercayaan yang membentuk pendirian terhadap sesuatu peristiwa yang dialami sama ada ia positif, negatif, atau mustahil dijangka. Ia mempunyai tiga aspek:[1][2][3]
- ia bersifat membawa untung (good luck) atau malang (bad luck).[4]
- ia disebabkan nasib diri.[5]
- ia terpakai pada suatu makhluk berakal.
Kepercayaan bahawa jalan kehidupan seseorang bergantung sepenuhnya kepada nasib bertuah atau malang seseorang ditolak oleh ajaran beberapa agama termasuk Islam dan Buddha.
