Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I read in a book regarding the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, “By time,” where it is interpreted as “By the Lord of time.” Is this interpretation correct?
Answer:
No, there is no need for this interpretation. Allah swore by time, and it is one of His creations, Glorified and Exalted is He. He swore by it because of the importance of time. Time is not easy; it has value, and it has a price.
