Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question of our brother listener Muhammad Yahya, his last question in this episode. He asks: What is meant by cursing time? And what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
What is meant by cursing time is attributing to it the events you dislike, ascribing them to time, and saying that time is the one who caused them or brought them to you. So you curse time if you do not get what you need or if harm befalls you. This is the meaning of cursing. Matters are in the hand of Allah, not in the hand of time. For this reason, in the Qudsi HadithSahih Muslim 2246b the meaning is that Allah is time, meaning that He is the one who manages affairs, decrees them, and brings them about, and it is not time that does that. Yes.
