How to understand time in a whole new way

As soon as you come to this life, your physical clock starts to tick signifying the work that has to be done on this earth. It is amazing that even after our physical body seizes to function, the existence clock will be ticking until the soul departs it.
Thus, this illustrates that the only thing that will always be constant in the existence of one’s life is “time”. And even after the earth reaches its last day, time will extend in a strange way alarming the people of the Judgement Day, which is going to last for long according to the holy scripts in the Islamic theology.
Time will be really different after the Judgement Day than what we are used to in this life. A single day will take on a larger temporal frame. “Verily a day in the sight of thy lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.” Surat Al-Haj, verse 47.
However, time does not apply to the eternity frame for the believers and non-believers who will be forever either in heaven or hell.
