THE TIME IS A WITNESS

The Time is a Witness ~ 108 ~ THE TIME IS A WITNESS I swear by the declining day that perdition shall be the lot of man, except for those who have faith and do good works; who exhort each other to truth and fortitude. (The Qur’an 103:1-3) Man, born to live a specific number of years, increases in age until he reaches the final stage of his life, the final limit. Then he dies. The inevitability of this event tells us that only that person is successful who is able in a proper manner to avail of the limited period allotted to him in this world; of one who does not, the time will irrevocably pass, and nothing will fall to his lot but frustration and repentance. Every moment man is heading towards his death. What does this mean? It means that if he fails to avail of the time allotted to him, his ultimate fate will be a state of deprivation. To turn his life into a success story, man has to act himself, while for failure no action is required. Failure is heading towards him on its own.
