What is meant by "time" in Islamic law? Is it created? Is there a place where there is no time? Does time exist in Paradise, and will it perish?
The meaning of time in the Quran is the duration in which people's actions and movements occur, which is their lifespan in this worldly life. Time and place are creations of Allah Almighty, intertwined, for no event exists without time and place. There is time in Paradise that differs from worldly time in its nature and reckoning; the inhabitants of Paradise do not need to account for time, and it is a time that does not perish. As for worldly time, it perishes. The questioner is advised to focus on matters of legal rulings, belief, and righteous deeds instead of occupying oneself with issues that may lead to confusion.
