Question
Is it kufr to say words such as 'Mother Nature' and 'Father Time'?
Answer
Saying 'mother nature' and 'father time' is un-Islamic. We should not adopt such kuffaar terms. They reek of atheism. In fact, atheist believe that 'time' is their god and 'nature' is their goddess. They hold the stupid idea of time and nature being their creators, hence 'mother' and 'father'. Nevertheless, we shall stop short of branding the person kaafir. It is not permissible to employ such terms of kufr implications.
