Sunan at-Tirmidhī Ḥadīth [2332] – The constriction of the time and its passing quickly…

Various interpretations have been given to the expression ‘constriction of time.’ They are as follows:

a) Those will be the joyful days of merry-making and prosperity. Hence the time shall pass unnoticed.
b) The world shall be devoid of heavenly bliss. As such time shall pass without anybody noticing it.
c) Governments shall come and go in quick succession, and it would seem as if they lasted but a few days.
d) People will be battling with calamities, disturbances and dissensions so that they shall lose the sense of the passage of time.

The core of the matter in fact is that the age will bereft of heavenly bliss. As such the time shall pass at an awfully quick pace. The year, the month, and the week shall pass without anyone knowing how they flew away.
