Each and every morning, the Day calls out to mankind and says: ‘O son of Adam! I am a new creation and a witness upon your actions. So seize this opportunity and derive benefit from me as I will not return until the Day of Judgment.’ And when the Day returns on the Day of Judgment, it will either give a witness for us, or against us.
