The Ruling on Cursing Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on cursing the time?
Answer:
It is not permissible to curse the time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade cursing the time, because the time is a creation among Allah’s creations. The hardships that occur in it are not the doing of the time, but rather they are from the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His command with wisdom. So the one who curses the time is cursing Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), because the time is owned by Allah, and what happens in it is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah. The time does not cause anything on its own, except according to the belief of the Dahriyyah who say[Al-Jathiyah 45:24] So it is not permissible to curse the time, or to curse the day that brought it, or the hour; all of this is the doing of the ignorant. This is not permissible.

نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ
