I once knew a man through his wife—this situation truly happened repeatedly. She complained to me about his physical abuse and other matters. I asked her, “When he gets angry, does he curse (insult the Lord)?” She replied, “Yes, by God, and he does that too.”
I thought to myself, “May God humiliate Satan.” This matter is far more serious than you might think. So I asked to speak with her husband, a man I knew and who knew me. I was certain he prayed in the mosque—perhaps most of his prayers were there.
I said to him, “O so-and-so, do you sometimes say such-and-such (curse the Lord) when you get angry?” He said, “Yes, by God, I am in a state of intense anger.” I said, “Do you realize that by doing this, you become a disbeliever, outside the fold of Islam? That on the Day of Resurrection, you will be gathered with Abu Jahl, Abu Lahab, and Umayyah ibn Khalaf? That if you die in this state, no one is permitted to pray over you, and you will not be buried in Muslim cemeteries?”
Allah the Exalted has said regarding people like you:
“And never pray over any one of them who dies, nor stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient.” (Quran 9:84)
I added, “And your wife is now unlawful for you. It is not permissible for you to remain with her in one house while you are in this state.” He said in astonishment, “Really? By God, I never expected it to reach this level!”
I replied, “Yes, my dear. How could you not expect it? You curse the Lord of the worlds! Do you think it is just a word of ‘shame’ or a minor mistake? Do you think that by merely saying ‘I seek Allah’s forgiveness’ with your tongue or going to perform ghusl (ritual bath), Allah will overlook it for you, waiting until you get angry again and curse Him once more, then seek forgiveness?”
Even your assumption and your astonishment at the legal ruling itself indicate a lack of reverence for Allah the Exalted. This is a real and recurring disaster in society. People who fall into this grave sin do not realize its magnitude or consequences.
Frankly, when someone spoke to me this way, I was shocked and horrified! How can a person curse the Lord of the worlds and not understand the ruling attached to his action? The same applies to wives or those around them who complain about personal issues (such as abuse or mistreatment) before addressing this grave matter.
The real tragedy lies in “priorities.” The right of Allah must come first. Sometimes—without claiming to be better than others—we forget this truth and place our personal priorities above the right of our Lord.
If we belittle Allah, how can we expect Him to honor us, grant us dignity, and deliver us from the humiliation and oppression we face? We ask Allah to accept repentance from all of us. Amen.
