Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the listening group, N.J. asks and says: What is al-Dahr? Is cursing the world forbidden, such as saying it is deceptive? And so on?
Answer:
Al-Dahr is the night and the day from which weeks, months, and years are composed; this is al-Dahr.
The time that harms people; this is al-Dahr: night and day, weeks, months, and years. This is al-Dahr. It is not permissible to curse al-Dahr due to the prohibition of doing so, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2246e. In another hadith, Allah the Exalted says that the Muslims will later triumph over the disbelievers, the People of the Book, and others. At that time, the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah, who grants victory to the believers, and He is the Mighty, the Merciful. Yes.
And there is no abrogation of the word of Allah in this type of matter either. If Allah the Exalted informs of something or promises something in His Noble Book, it must inevitably occur. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well.
