Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: How is the reconciliation between Allah’s saying[Hud 11:77], and the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “Do not curse time”?
Answer:
It is not a curse;[Hud 11:77] it is not a curse of the abode, but a description of its nature, such as a stormy wind, a description of the state of the wind, a violent, severe, cold wind, and the like. This is a description of the thing’s attributes, not a condemnation of it.
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: How is the reconciliation between Allah’s saying
This is a trying day."
