30 Safar 1433 | Hadith of the Day | Do not curse the Wind (and by extension the Weather)


The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“Do not curse the wind. If you dislike what you see of it, then say, “O Allah, we ask You for the good of this wind and the good of what is in it and the good of what it is ordered to do. We seek refuge with You from the evil of this wind and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it is ordered to do.””

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

Pride means to renounce the truth and abase people.”
