Time as a whole, exists in the space time continuum we call this universe.
Take for example, the way we measure "time".
Ever since the dawn of mankind on earth, we measured time in the most primitive of ways with a stick, against the sun - by measuring the cast of the shadow.
The idea is, that time can only be measured with a source of light.
Allah says that HE is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth:
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things. (Qur'an 24:35)
So time does exist, as a whole! Now imagine, the light itself so bright that one could not imagine it - the light which is Allah, cannot be measured because it is too great for us to even glimpse for a nanosecond, it would defy our senses to even glimpse it - light like this, means only one thing!!! Infinity... the Universe is but an umbrella shielding us from this light, but when that veil is gone, on the day HE accounts all creation - the eternity will be a reality.
So yes, time, is a complex matter, which matters more in the next life where time is a constant, than this life here, where time seems to ebb and slip away from us. Which is why it is imperative that we make good use of it:
By the Time, indeed mankind is in a state of loss, except those who have believed and done righteousness, and advised each other to truth, and advised each other to patience. (Qur'an, 103)
