We do not merely live in time — we live in a version of time.
Sheikh Imran Nazar Hosein delivered a profound reminder: what many call “modern progress” may actually be humanity’s exile from sacred rhythm.
The prophecy that time will seem to move faster is not about clocks speeding up — it is about souls being uprooted from divine order.
When sunset no longer opens the day, when the moon no longer governs months, when worship no longer shapes the week… time itself becomes mechanized, fragmented, secularized.
Sacred time remembers.
Secular time consumes.
We moved from living by creation’s signs to living by artificial schedules.
Days once began at sunset — now at midnight.
Months once followed the moon — now bureaucracy.
The Sabbath once preserved remembrance — now endless production.
And perhaps this is why modern man feels rushed, anxious, spiritually displaced.
Sheikh Imran frames our age as the late afternoon of history — an eschatological hour where recovering sacred consciousness is itself resistance.
One striking thought:
The crisis of our age may not only be political or economic. It may be temporal.
To reclaim sacred time is to reclaim alignment with revelation.
Even the reflections of Winston Dookeran echoed this — truth, justice and religion cannot be severed from civilization without consequence.
A question worth pondering:
Have we lost time… or has time lost us?
