45.24

وَ قَالُوْا مَا هِیَ اِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا الدُّنْیَا نَمُوْتُ وَ نَحْیَا وَ مَا یُهْلِكُنَاۤ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۚ-اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَظُنُّوْنَ(24)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And they said, “There is only our life in this world, we die and we live, and only time destroys us.” And they have no knowledge of that; they only speculate. [1]

Commentary

[1]

The disbelievers considered time to be the cause of death and rejected belief in the angel of death عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم and the idea of souls being removed by the command of Allah Almighty. They would attribute every calamity to time. Today’s atheists hold similar views, although they are unable to adequately explain the origins of the universe without recourse to a Creator. They will never be able to state the reason for the creation of the universe for as long as they do not accept the existence of the True Creator.

Note: To attribute calamities and difficulties to time and to curse time upon experiencing difficulties is forbidden. In a Divine hadith, Allah Almighty says: “The children of Ādam swear at time, whereas I am [the Creator of] time. Night and day are in My control.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī: 6181)
