Explanation of how one harms Allah the Exalted.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And how does one harm Allah? One harms Allah by describing Him with what is not befitting of Him. One harms Allah by cursing Him, mocking Him, and ridiculing Him. So, if someone describes Allah (Mighty and Majestic) as not being All-Hearing, All-Seeing, Mighty, Wise, or Merciful, or the like of the attributes of perfection by which Allah described Himself, then this is a harm to Allah. And if someone objects to Allah in His Shari'ah or His divine decree, then that is a harm to Allah. For this reason, the authentic hadith came that Allah the Exalted said: Sunan Abi Dawud 5274Sahih (Al-Albani) An example of cursing time is to say, "This is a bad year," "This is a bad season," or the like of what indicates cursing the divine decree; then that is a harm to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And more severe than that is cursing the religion, mocking it, raising doubts about it, and describing it as contradictory; for this is more severe than cursing time. For this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [At-Tawbah 9:65-66].
