بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

45.24

وَ قَالُوْا مَا هِیَ اِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا الدُّنْیَا نَمُوْتُ وَ نَحْیَا وَ مَا یُهْلِكُنَاۤ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۚ-اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَظُنُّوْنَ(24)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And they said, 'There is nothing except our worldly life, (in which) we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except time.' And they do not have any knowledge of this, they make mere speculations.

Commentary

The disbelievers considered time to be the cause of death and rejected belief in the angel of death عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم and the idea of souls being removed by the command of Allah Almighty. They would attribute every calamity to time. Today’s atheists hold similar views, although they are unable to adequately explain the origins of the universe without recourse to a Creator. They will never be able to state the reason for the creation of the universe for as long as they do not accept the existence of the True Creator.

Note: To attribute calamities and difficulties to time and to curse time upon experiencing difficulties is forbidden. In a Divine hadith, Allah Almighty says: “The children of Ādam swear at time, whereas I am [the Creator of] time. Night and day are in My control.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī: 6181)
