Is informing a friend about connecting the weather on the first day of the school year with the progress of the academic year considered a form of Shirk, bearing in mind one's remorse and seeking forgiveness, and the prevalence of intrusive thoughts about Shirk and disbelief?

What will happen in the new year is unseen (ghayb) and unknown to people. Pessimism regarding the first day of school or anything else should be avoided and repented of, because it is a minor form of (polytheism). One should supplicate with the well-known prayer: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know." One must ward off evil whispers and occupy one's time with what is beneficial in matters of religion and worldly life.
