			Allah
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			takes an oath into the Quran.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			Chapter number 9, verse number 1 and 2
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			where Allah says, wal fajr.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			Walayalil
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			ash
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			by fajr, by dawn.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			And
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			by the 10
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			nights.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			Here, Allah is
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			taking the oath of Fajr
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			and by 10 nights.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			Here, the Mufassil
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			say when Allah is taking the oath, walayalil
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			al ash. That is by the 10 nights.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			It is referring
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			to the first 10 days of the rijjah.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Now people will wonder
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			why did Allah use the word nights when
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			he's referring to the days
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			of the first 10 days of the rijja.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			This is common in many languages.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			If I have to say in English that
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			I spent 10 days in Nioh.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			But naturally when I say I spent 10
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			days in Nioh,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			it means I spent 10 days and 10
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			nights in New York. It's understood. When I
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			say days,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			many a time the nights are included.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			Similarly, in Arabic
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			when days are mentioned the nights are included.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			And when nights are mentioned many a time
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			even the days are included. It can only
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			be night. It can be day and night
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			also. It can be only day depending upon
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			the context.
