Are you losing time…

Or is time is losing you?

You open your phone for five minutes.

You close it forty minutes older.

And you cannot remember what you saw.

No story.

No weight.

No memory.

Just movement.

Yet Allah swears:

وَالْعَصْرِ

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ

“By Time.

Indeed, mankind is in loss.”

— Qur'an 103:1–2

Loss doesn’t always feel dramatic.

Sometimes it feels like scrolling.

Hours that leave no trace.

Days that blur into each other.

That’s why Ramaḍān feels different.

It slows you down.

You feel what you need to feel.

You count the minutes.

You become aware of the day.

Fasting restores weight to your hours.

It teaches you to sit with discomfort.

To resist impulse.

To choose deliberately.

Ramaḍān is about reclaiming attention.

Because Sūrah al-ʿAṣr doesn’t end with loss.

Except those who believe.

Do righteous deeds.

Call to truth.

And call to patience.

Anchor your time with belief.

Fill it with action.

Guard it with truth.

Protect it with patience.

Your days are numbered.

Write them with intention.
