Re: time moving at a fast pace…
Peace Jaanaan,
Time passing fast doesn’t means one looks at his or her watch and think whether its ticking fast or not, neither religious peoples are talking about measuring the passing of time by a clock or watch, or measuring interval of time such as an hour or minutes or seconds. Religion teaches that God is the Giver of the time but He is also the Withholder. God reminds us that time passes quickly and can never return, it is irretrievable and it is the most precious gift that humankind possesses and can be taken from us at any given moment.
Being a Muslim, I believe both the Quran and the Hadith Books make it clear that Islam considers time to a very valuable resource. Believers are encouraged to be conscious of time, to recognize its importance and to organize it wisely. If human beings do not waste or abuse time, but rather think of it as a blessing from God then they have every reason to hope for success both in this life and in the hereafter.
Everyone knows something but of which no one can fully explain the exact significance of time. Time searches out and destroys everything material. No one in secular literature has expressed the tyranny of ‘never-resting time’ better than Shakespeare in his Sonnets.
For example:
**
Never-resting time **- Sonnet 5
Nothing gains time’s scythe can make defence - Sonnet 12
When I have seen by time’s hand defaced. The rich proud cost of outworn buried age - Sonnet 64
If we merely run a race against time, we shall lose. It is the spiritual part of us that conquers time.
Lastly I’ll quote one Hadith from the Book ‘To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)’ of Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 421.
**
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet 
said**, “There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) Health and free time for doing good.”
