Abstract
Time had been and is still one of the most investigated mysteries. Even eminent scientists tried to explore this aspect of existence. Einstein presented the idea of time dilation. Theory of Relativity expounds that; there may be a difference in the time experienced by two observers, because of a velocity difference relative to each other, or by being differently situated relative to a gravitational field. Such a mysterious and interesting idea could never be overlooked by the writers of fiction. The literary works like Time Machine by H.G Wells present the character in times elapsed. Shams Ur Rehman Farooqi's novel Qabz-e-Zaman is also one of those attempts in which literature employed the mystery of time. Time dilation is the main idea around which the plot of Qabz-e-Zaman has been constructed. This research article explores how some of the concepts utilized by Shams-ur-Rehaman Farooqi, are not the newest ideas. Even the main plot in Qabz-e-Zaman is also not the first hand creation of Shams-ur-RehmanFarooqi as it has been copied from Tazkara-e-Ghosia by Hazrat Maulana Shah Gul Hassan.
