Time in My Hands


 

 


 

Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger () said, "Allah said, 'The son of Adam hurts me for he abuses Time though I am Time: in My Hands are all things, and I cause the revolution of day and night.'

I had often wondered the origin of the term “time in my hands”. Thanks to Google in this century I have found out one version.

Today I saw the almost open bloom of English Rose, Rosa ‘Susan Williams-Ellis’ so I decided to scan it with a couple of Rosemary’s favourite grey plants Senecio Brachyglottis greyii and Senecio candicans ‘Angel Wings'. 

After that first scan, because I have time in my hands, I decided to include one of my inkjet prints of Rosemary of a photograph I took in 1969. Because I have dyslexia, I had some trouble arranging the print. That second result did not satisfy me as she was not gazing on the plants. After some confusion I managed to take that third version.

And yes, I have time in my hands.
