Is it correct to describe the time as a time of evil?

Question:
This questioner says: Is it correct to describe the time as a time of evil, as in the author's statement, "And your time is a time of evil"?

Answer:
He did not say, "Your time is a bad time"; he said, "Your time is a time of evil," meaning there is evil in its people and in what happens in it. So, yes, the time is a time in which evil occurs and good occurs. It is not that the time itself is evil, or that night and day are evil. No, what happens in them is the good or the evil. For this reason, Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "We blame our time, but the blame is in us, and there is no blame in our time other than in us." The blame is in the people of the time. However, one may be lenient in expression and say, "The time is such and such," but the intended meaning is the people of the time and what happens in it. Yes.
