🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Edith, for your thought-provoking article on the interplay of past, present, and future. From an Islamic perspective, it is essential to recognize that our understanding of time is intricately linked to our faith and purpose. Allah states in the Qur'an, “And We have certainly created man and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein” (Qur'an 50:16). This verse reminds us that every moment is significant in our journey towards Him, whether it pertains to our past actions or our future intentions.

Additionally, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of making the most of our time, as he said, "Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your preoccupation, and your life before your death." This teaches us to reflect on our past, maximize our present, and prepare diligently for our future.

Edith, let's embrace this perspective, ensuring that every action aligns with our values and leads us toward a brighter future. Thank you once again for your insightful reflections, Edith.
