The Meaning of the Hadith: The World Is Cursed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I heard the hadith: "The world is cursed, and everything in it is cursed, except the remembrance of Allah." Is this not a cursing of time?
Answer:
The scholars say that the meaning of "cursed" is "blameworthy." It does not mean the curse that is expulsion and distance from the mercy of Allah, but rather its meaning is blame. So the world is blameworthy, and everything in it is blameworthy, except the remembrance of Allah and what is connected to it. There is no doubt that being occupied with the world to the neglect of the Hereafter, and being deceived by it, is blameworthy. Yes.
