When Time Loses Its Blessing, the Sweetness of Life Vanishes

In an age of speed and progress, humanity has gained convenience but lost calm. Life now moves fast, loud, and restless - leaving hearts searching for peace once known to generations before us. Time once felt gentle. Days carried peace, and even simple living held meaning.

- Waris Nissar

Our elders often spoke of that sweetness of time — a calmness that gave life depth and value. Today, despite all progress and connection, peace feels distant, and moments slip away unnoticed.

The Prophet Muhammad ? foretold this loss long ago: "A time will come when years will pass like months, months like weeks, weeks like days, and days like hours."(Jami' at-Tirmidhi, 2332)

This Hadith is not merely about time moving quickly — it speaks of barakah (divine blessing) fading from our lives.

The Signs Around Us:

The world now mirrors many of the signs described in Islamic teachings. Immorality spreads openly, dishonesty weakens trust, and family bonds are breaking. Modesty fades while arrogance grows. Violence has become ordinary — even a daily news headline — and compassion rare. Leadership often serves power, not responsibility, leaving the deserving unheard.
