Bad dua refers to a curse, imprecation, malediction, or anathema. It is essentially a prayer or invocation for misfortune or harm to befall someone.
In simpler terms, bad dua is when you ask God to bring negative consequences upon another person. It's the opposite of making a good dua (prayer) for someone's well-being and blessings.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Curse: An expression of a wish that misfortune, evil, doom, etc., come upon a person or thing.
-
Imprecation: A spoken curse.
-
Malediction: A curse; the utterance of a curse.
-
Anathema: A formal ecclesiastical curse accompanied by excommunication. Also, a person or thing that is intensely disliked or loathed.
Essentially, bad dua involves invoking negative forces or divine displeasure upon another individual. It's generally considered unfavorable and discouraged in most religious and ethical frameworks that emphasize compassion and forgiveness.
