How is it that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is not harmed, yet cursing time harms Him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : That Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is not harmed by the son of Adam, is not the harm from the cursing?
The Shaykh : The harm, the harm can be to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but the damage is not, even in the Noble Qur'an[Al-Ahzab 33:57] And we gave you an example, O man, of a person who is bothered by the smell of onions but is not harmed by it.
The questioner : Is not the harm from the cursing? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : From the cursing? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : From the cursing.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : If he curses Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
The Shaykh : No, yes, it is cursing of Allah in reality, it is cursing of Allah, because if he curses time, which does not act on its own but is directed by Allah, then he has cursed Allah. Have you seen if Abd al-Rahman Jum'ah made a garment, one of whose sleeves reaches the fingertips and the other reaches the elbow, and the pocket is wide and reaches the navel, meaning it is extremely disfigured, and we cursed the garment, did we curse it?
The questioner : The maker who made the garment.
The Shaykh : You cursed it, is that not so? There is no doubt in this, it is clear, there is no doubt. Yes, the time is over.
The Shaykh : The harm, the harm can be to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but the damage is not, even in the Noble Qur'an
Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger
إن الذين يؤذون الله ورسولهThe questioner : Is not the harm from the cursing? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : From the cursing? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : From the cursing.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
