📣 [New Article] The Tyranny of the Mechanical Clock 🕐

Is the clock ruining your life?

Assalamu'alaikum,

When was the last time you truly enjoyed your prayers?

Or sat with your family without thinking about the next appointment?

I've been thinking deeply about how a simple invention - the mechanical clock - has fundamentally changed not just how we measure time, but how we experience life itself. 

The more I reflected, the more I realized how this "innocent" device on our wrists and walls has impacted our spirituality, stressed our relationships, and affected our work and health.

In my latest article, "The Tyranny of the Mechanical Clock," I explore:

  • The fascinating history of how time was measured in Muslim societies (hint: it wasn't about 60-minute hours)

  • Understanding Time as God’s creation with multiple ways to measure it and appreciate it

  • How "Muslim Standard Time" isn't about being deficient - it's about a different cultural wisdom

  • Why malls and casinos deliberately avoid having clocks 

  • Practical steps to reclaim a healthier relationship with time

This isn't just another time management article. It's an invitation to question something we've taken for granted and perhaps find a more balanced way to live in our rushed modern world.

I'd love to hear your thoughts: How has mechanical time affected your life? 

Sincerely,

P.S. If this article resonates with you, please share it with family and friends who might be struggling with time pressure in their daily lives.
