Wasn't it just Sunday? You blink, and the weekend's back again, barely enough time to catch your breath in between. If that feeling has been nagging at you lately, you're not imagining it, and, interestingly, it's not just a modern complaint either.
I recently watched a video by Dr. Omar Suleiman on the concept of barakah - divine blessing - in time and life, and it reframed something I'd been feeling but couldn't quite name.
It's Not Just You. Time Really Is Shrinking.
There's a well-known prophecy from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that says the "Hour" won't come until time itself is compressed: a year passing like a month, a month like a week, a week like a day. Not the clock speeding up, but the blessing draining out of it. Days stay 24 hours long, but they stop feeling like enough.
And if you look at how most of us actually spend our time today, it's not hard to see why. We're distracted before we've even started the day. We chase a hundred shallow interactions instead of a few meaningful ones. We stay up late for no real reason and wake up already behind. None of that is a coincidence; it's the natural result of how we're choosing to live, layered on top of something the Prophet ï·º described centuries ago.
The good news is that Dr. Suleiman's video doesn't stop at the diagnosis. It offers a practical way back: seven habits from the Sunnah that don't just fill up your day, but actually put the blessing back into it.
The Real Takeaway
None of these seven habits are complicated, and that's kind of the point. Getting more barakah isn't about finding more hours in the day; it's about how deliberately you use the ones you already have.
I'll admit, reading through this list felt less like learning something new and more like being reminded of something I already knew and had quietly let slide. Maybe that's true for you too. The Prophet ï·º described the shrinking as a sign of the times, but he also left us a way to push back against it, one habit at a time.
