Time in the Qur’an and the Single Moment

Time in the Qur’an and the Single Moment 🌀 Time Travel and the Eternal Now in the Qur’an Where Time Collapses: The Timeless Dimension of Truth The Qur’an does not treat time merely as a chronological flow but as a reality deeply intertwined with human consciousness. While we live time by “counting” it, the events in the Qur’an are often conveyed as instantaneous, timeless, and direct interventions. This leads us to conclude that the Qur’anic perception of time stands far beyond modern conceptions. 🧭 1. Allah Does Not Count Time, We Do One of the verses revealing the relative nature of time is: “Indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.” (Hajj 47) “The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.” (Maʿārij 4) The phrase “of what you count” is striking: time is something we measure. Concepts such as day, year, and hour hold no meaning for Allah. This is not merely a theological claim but a m...

From ʿArafāt to Ghazā: The Revival of Hajj Consciousness 🕋

 🕋 From ʿArafāt to Ghazā:  The Revival of Hajj Consciousness Hajj is not merely a journey—it is the foundation of a community built upon knowledge, collective decision-making, and conscious submission. One is recognized in ʿArafāt, reflects in Muzdalifah, is tested in Minā, and is spiritually revived around the Sacred House. ʿArafāt: The Place of Awareness and Revival through Decision In the Qur’an, the word ʿArafāt is mentioned directly only once: “When you stand at ʿArafāt during Hajj, remember Allah...” (Surah al-Baqarah 2:198) The word ʿArafāt stems from the root ʿarafa (عرف) , which means: to know, to recognize, to become aware, to distinguish. Thus, standing at ʿArafāt ( wuqūf ) is not a mere physical pause; it is: a conscious witnessing, an encounter with truth, a confrontation with one’s own self and reality. Trade, Remembrance, and Collective Decision in Hajj The same verse continues: “There is no blame upon you for seeking t...

From the Mountains to the Kaaba: The Resurrection of Consciousness and the Stones of Revelation 🕋

 🕋  From the Mountains to the Kaaba: 🌐 The Resurrection of Consciousness and the Stones of Revelation A Revelation-Centered Reading on Abraham’s Metaphor of “Reviving the Birds” (Baqarah 2:260), the Command to “Proclaim the Pilgrimage” (Hajj 22:27), and the Consciousness-Civilization Axis of Safa, Marwa, Kaaba, and Mecca May our Lord increase us in knowledge. 1. The Bird Metaphor: Resurrection of Consciousness “Abraham said: ‘My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.’” “…Take four birds, tame them to yourself, then place a part of them on each mountain. Then call them; they will come to you swiftly...” (Baqarah 2:260) This verse can be interpreted beyond physical resurrection—as a metaphor for the awakening and revival of consciousness. The birds symbolize: Fragmented aspects of the human self scattered in various directions States of humanity dispersed across different geographies The mountains represent pride, detachment, and the elevated egos of i...
