I read a hadeeth which says that Allaah says "I am al-Dahr (time)."
Does this mean that al-Dahr is one of the beautiful names of Allaah?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The hadeeth referred to in the question was narrated by al-Bukhaari
(4826) and Muslim (2246) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with
him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said: "Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, says:
'The son of Adam inveighs against Me, he inveighs against [the
vicissitudes of] Time(al-Dahr), and I am Time, in My hand are all
affairs, I alternate the night and the day."
This hadeeth does not indicate that al-Dahr is one of the names of
Allaah, rather what the hadeeth means is that Allaah is the One who
controls time.
Al-Khattaabi said:
What this means is: I am the Owner of Time, the Controller of all
affairs that they attribute to time, so whoever inveighs against time
because it does these things, is in effect inveighing against his Lord
Who is the One whodoes them.
Al-Nawawi said:
What is meant by saying "Allaah is al-Dahr (Time)"is that He is the
One Whocauses things to happen,the Creator of all things that exist.
And Allaah knows best.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Al-Dahr is not one of the names of Allaah, and whoever claims that is
erring for two reasons:
1 – His Names are the most perfect and beautiful, they should refer to
the most eloquent and beautiful meanings. Hence we do not find any
name among the names of Allaah that does not refer to any attribute.
Al-Dahr is such a word, and it cannot mean anything other than time.
2 – The context of the hadeeth renders that impossible, because He
says, "I alternate the night and the day"; night and day are time, so
how can the thing that is controlled be the one that controls them??
Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 1/163.

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
