Greetings to Hajj Aqa Saei,
Is time travel possible?
If so, how?
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ

Subject category: Science and Religion

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

Travel through time aboard the vessel of divine will is possible in every form and dimension: into the past, the present and the future, and into the soul and its hidden and manifest aspects. Time is like a key that appears and disappears by divine will. If a moment is not seized, it can never be caught again.

In one sense, time is like a key: it both opens and closes. No one can shut a door once it is open, or open one once it is closed. If a moment is not seized as it passes, it can never be captured again.

Each moment comes into being—or disappears—by the divine will. Thus, aboard the vessel of divine will, travel through time in all its forms and dimensions is possible: “to the past, present and future; to the spirit, and to its hidden and visible aspects.”
