Question

what's means the "curse of Allah" what is it, there many ahadith about that, can you give us an explanation please?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

La’nah is an Arabic word which means curse. When Allah curses someone, it means the person is deprived of the mercy of Allah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

واللَّعْنُ: الإِبْعادُ والطَّرْد مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَقِيلَ: الطَّرْد والإِبعادُ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَمِنَ الخَلْق السَّبُّ والدُّعاء، واللَّعْنةُ الِاسْمُ، وَالْجَمْعُ لِعانٌ ولَعَناتٌ. ولَعَنه يَلْعَنه لَعْناً: طَرَدَه وأَبعده. وَرَجُلٌ لَعِينٌ ومَلْعُونٌ، وَالْجُمَعُ مَلاعِي

تفسير المنتصر الكتاني (102/ 8، بترقيم الشاملة آليا)

فقد ورد عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم: (لعن الله الناظر والمنظور إليه)، وهذا إن كان ذلك بعلم منه ومطاوعة، فبمجرد أن ينظر الرجل إلى فرج غير الزوجة فهو ملعون، وملعون من وافق على أن ينظر في ذلك، واللعن: هو الطرد من رحمة الله، ولا يقبل هذا مسلم
