<![CDATA[The study examines how present global temporality is linguistically constructed by crisis, transition, threats of decline and renewal, and accountability. The third chapter adopts a multidisciplinary mix-method approach which combines elements of Critical Discourse Analysis, Corpus-oriented linguistic analysis, Islamic theological hermeneutics, Cultural studies, Political discourse analysis and Socio-legal interpretation. We conduct qualitative, quantitative and triangulated analysis of publicly verifiable materials from 2024–2026 Global risk, geopolitical, digital-governance and religious-public discourse. Dominant global narratives represent time but do so through ideologies of uncertainty, above all, multipolarization, on armed conflict and the propensity for such wars today, misinformation and disinformation, polarisation in democracies, and civilizational risk. CDA exposes how time-based vocabularies mask agency, normalise power and reframe moral deliberation as managerial classifications. Islamic theology further provides a framework for interpreting such time through concepts such as sunnatullah, fitnah, ajal, qadar ibrah, tabayyun, and akhirah, as key moral components in historical analysis. It endeavours to offer sacred temporal discourse analysis as an alternative apparatus of interpretation through which world history can be read through a linguistic-theological lens. It argues that the crisis of civilisation is also a crisis of meaning, truth, and the imagination, particularly in relation to time.]]>
