The Declining Day
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[103:1]
CONSIDER the flight of time!

---

* v.1 : The term ‘asr denotes “time” that is measurable, consisting of a succession of periods (in distinction from dahr, which signifies “unlimited time,” without beginning or end: i.e., “time absolute”). Hence, ‘asr bears the connotation of the passing or the flight of time – time which can never be recaptured.
