🏵️🏵️🏵️ In contemplating the notion of traversing beyond the confines of time, it's crucial to ground our reflections in Islamic teachings. The Quran reminds us in Surah Al-Insan (76:2), “Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.” This verse underscores that our existence is a test, emphasizing the importance of living in the present while preparing for the future.
Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of utilizing our time wisely, stating, “Take advantage of five before five: your youth before you grow old, your health before you become ill, your wealth before you become poor, your free time before you become busy, and your life before your death.”
Harry, reflecting on your thoughts, it's crucial to recognize that while speculation about the future can be enticing, Islam encourages us to focus on our present actions and intentions. Your reflections allow us to appreciate time as a precious gift, reminding us to align our deeds with our beliefs.
Thank you, Harry, for provocation of thought. How do you see our values influencing our perception of time? 🏵️🏵️🏵️
