My Dear Brother!

The verse, And even thus did the rejecters of Allah perish (utterly) indicates the allusion of By (the token of) time (through the ages), ❋ Verily man is in loss, that all the wars and destruction of the infidels have caused untold damage and loss. There is also an indication in the phrase Wa’l‑‘Asr (By [the token of] time), which points to the date 1360 according to the Rumi calendar, in which year dissemblers and disbelievers would attack the Risale‑i Nur, but they would be the losers. For the Risale‑i Nur is a cause of calamities like earthquake and war abating. It may be a concealed sign that its ceasing from activity attracts disaster.
