Supplication and Litany

Our sense of time passing in certain emotional states depends on the intensity of our emotional and nervous-system responses, our heart rate, and the focus of our thoughts; it has nothing to do with time itself contracting or expanding. The noble verse «لا تأسوا علی ما فاتکم و لا تفرحوا بما آتاکم» should not be interpreted superficially. It carries particular allusions, including the oppression suffered by the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the rule of tyrants.
