The fourth day of the Islamic week is Yawm-ul-arba'a, that is, Wednesday.
Hazrat  Ali (r.a), Hazrat Jaabir (r.a), Hazrat Bibi Aïcha Siddiqa (r.a) said  that  Yawm-ul-arba'a is harmful day. But however it carries bad luck only for  the unbelievers  (kaafirs), but is blessed (mubaarak) for the believers (mu'minn). In  answer to  the questions of the sahabas (r.a), the holy Prophet 
 explained that it is on  that day that the army  of Pharaoh was drowned in the river Nile and Allah sent his punishments  (`azaabs) on the unbelievers of the past Wednesdays. As Allah himself  specifies  it in the holy Quraan: "We sent  against them a violent and icy wind, on a harmful and interminable day"  [ sourah 54 – verse 19 ]. The harmful day mentioned here is verily a  Wednesday.
Just like  Qaaroun (of the time of Hazrat Mousa a.s) was absorbed in the ground,  Pharaoh  and his army were drowned in the river, Namroud (of the time of Hazrat  Ibraahîm  a.s), received the punishment of the sting of a mosquito which  penetrated his  brain), the unbelievers of the people of Hazrat Lout a.s (Lot) perished  under a  rain of rocks, king Shaddaad and the unbelievers of the people of Hazrat  Houd (a.s)  were carried by a strong gale and many unbelievers among the people of  ancient  prophets got their punishments on Wednesday. 
On the  other hand, for believers (mu'minns), Wednesday is a day of Noor, i.e. a  day of  light. For that reason, from the time sahaabis to our days, Islamic  education  begins on Wednesdays, because the holy Prophet 
 said that "education  is light" and light must begin on the  day of light. 
Also,  Rasoulullaah 
 prevented from cutting the  nails and to be  made hair cut on Wednesdays because it can generate leprosy.  Nabi-e-kareem 
 also advised against  making blood transfusion on  Wednesdays because it may generate diseases.
